I don't really do anything different for a "Fall Look". I wear taupe shadow year round. I wear neutral blushes year round. I guess the only thing that changes is that I wear darker lip colors. So while this may not be a fall look for me It could be a fall look for you.
Behold the Armani Face & Eye Palette, Easy Chic Fall Color Collection 2012 Palette #1.
Whoa. That's a mouthful. and you re going to freak when you see the price. $88 USD. Yes. I know that's expensive. But look at it this way, you get 3 eye shadows and a fill size face powder blusher. Yeah I know. Still expensive. But once I swatched the colors I HAD TO HAVE IT!
Check it out.
Sheer Shimmery Ivory
Taupe that looks almost olive green in the pan but comes out as a matte grey taupe
Black that's not the blackest black in the world, but it's pretty decent and matte.
The colors blend fairly well for a matte formula.They are not overly soft or powdery but they aren't hard either. Which is nice.
Check out the eye look I did with it!
But now the face powder. This is exactly what I have been looking for. A neutral blush that doesn't look like mud on my fair skin.Armani describes it as:
"[A] feather light face powder with micronized particles of Micro-Fil™ technology illuminates the skin with the signature “Armani glow”."
I WANT THAT GLOW! I WANT TO LOOK LIKE MEGAN FOX! YESICERTAINLYDOKTHXBAI!
So once I applied the blush I went from this:
to THIS!
Isn't it amazing the transformation!
OK. I actually look like THIS
It's certainly not as impressive once you've seen the Megan Fox picture.
Oh but this look is not complete without the lips! For the lips I used Prestige Cosmetics Lipstick in Deep Rose. Which retails for a low price of $5.50! WIN! It's a nice deep red that really brings the look into the Fall genre. Well at least I think it does.
You can purchase the Armani Face & Eye Palette, Easy Chic Fall Color Collection 2012 Palette #1 from Neiman Marcus or anywhere that sells Armani Beauty. You can purchase the Prestige Cosmetics Lipstick from prestigecosmetics.com or other retailers.
Well That's about it for me. Check out the other awesome fall looks from the rest of the Makeup Wars clan!
You look fantastic! Nice disclaimer btw. Will you eat scrapple too? I'm unsure of the difference between the two, but my neighbor growing up really only preferred scrapple.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna pass on scrapple!
DeleteGorgeous - That palette looks amazing. Yes, the price is steep but it's Armani, it makes you look like Megan Fox and is amazing for travel!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about it being great for travel. When I go to NYC next month, this little baby is coming with me!
DeleteBBQ! You look SO much better than Megan Fox! I have been so interested in these palettes. I'm LOVING this one <3 Especially because of the blush and the middle shade. HAWT
ReplyDeleteGirl. I'm gonna get you some glasses. I KNOW I'm not prettier than Megan Fox, and I'm completely OK with that. That blush and middle shade MADE me get this palette. I couldn't resist!
DeleteYou aren't photoshopped to within an inch of your life so you look better in the palette than even Megan does! The look is beautiful for fall.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm a little bit photoshopped, just like Ms. Fox! :-)
DeleteDang, I need to get me some of that make-up! I look like the first picture every morning. Well almost, I also have hair like the guy in the Sonic game.
ReplyDeleteOooh. Sonic hair! That's nice! Yeah. It's rough looking like the predator every morning isn't it?
DeleteIMO Megan Fox is overrated anyways! You can rock this look better than her! :) Really nice look for Fall!
ReplyDeleteThanks hon! I'm a sucker for Dark hair and icy blue eyes. I still think she is pretty.
DeleteThat does look very pigmented. Yes, a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. I like your MF comparison, LOL!
ReplyDeleteYes. More pigmented that I would have thought for an Armani Palette. Usually their shadows are sooo sheer. Yes. Totally worth it too! :-)
DeleteThat lipstick is gorgeous with you colouring. You look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear!!!
DeleteHehe, I love your sense of humor :-) Megan Fox... Let me tell you, you look a whole lot foxier than her! :-) Seriously, I love the look, you look great.
ReplyDeleteAww. thanks. But I still think she is way prettier than me. And that's OK. I only have to have Mr. Sith think I look pretty, and he does, so I'm in luck!
DeleteI love the palette. You look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteYou look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
DeletePrestige has *awesome* lipsticks, and the price off-sets the cost of the palette (at least that's how I justify my HE purchases-I mix in some DS items so the ciosts average out).
ReplyDeleteBTW, as many others have stated, you are so much prettier than Megan Fox!
Ah. I like the way you justify. Yes. The $5 lipstick offsets the $88 palette. It's a prefect rationalization. :-)
DeleteThat Deep Rose lippie looks really good on you, no matter what the season!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes. This one will be in heavy rotation for sure!
DeleteGorgeous as usual Megan, BTW how's your new hubby Brian?
ReplyDeleteLove your friend Heidi Klum (aka Prime Beauty, aka Cindy)
Heidi! Can i tell you how much I love your TV show?! LOLOLOL
DeleteThat's it. I'm no longer going to read your site, every time I do I buy MORE TAUPE SHADOW and it's fucking $88?? Good thing I'm a doctor. My God.
ReplyDeleteErmahgerd! You used the F word! Thank goodness you are a Doctor and can swear like that for medical reasons!
Delete*points* Christine dropped an eff bomber!
ReplyDeleteIt's OK. She's a Doctor!
DeleteZOMG, I'm still not sure I can afford that eye shadow. I have a kid to feed and cloth and gas to buy. whoa.
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of you (the "after" picture, silly!!). I get a strong Bette Midler vibe from it. (Just so you know, I think Bette is a stunning woman).
ReplyDeleteThe blush/bronzer looks an awful lot like Benefit Dallas in the swatches. Any significant differences in person?
ReplyDeleteLove the Armani but you already knew that you minx!!! Love your look. Love you the most
ReplyDeleteBeautiful look! :) I got the other Armani palette with the peachy blush, but I really wanted this one as well - I just wasn't sure if the blush/bronzer would work for me, but it does look very flattering!
