Fall colors look

I saw the newest challenge on MUG is to do a look based on fall colors (it says red, orange, and yellow) and to be honest, I hadn't completely read the rules and luckily I used the colors that it says to use!  So here's the look I did.

this isn't a great picture of me but I like the way you can see the "melon" pigment on the middle of my lids




I really like the effect of having a lighter color in the middle of the lid so I used NYX "rust" shadow on the outer thirds and MAC "Melon" pigment on the middle third.  The other colors I used were Urban Decay "Twice Baked", MAC "Vanilla" pigment, and a little bit of Inglot pigment 68 under my eye.  I also used a little bit of Bobbi Brown gel liner in "black ink" and L'oreal Extreme Volume collagen in "blackest black."

And for fall, I think of a bit darker, more matte lip color so I used NYX soft matte lip creams in "Antwerp" which ended up being too bright so I added "Istanbul" to dull it down a little.

I think this is a nice look.  I don't wear warm colors on my eyes enough.  I don't know why but I feel more comfortable with blues, greens, and purples even though I really like the way these colors look against my eyes.  Oh well.

I hope you all are having a great week!  Thanks for checking this out!
