Fall Inspired Eyeshadows

     As salaamu alaykum and hello my lovelies! During the Fall I love to wear eyeshadows that are colorful, but not over the top. The changing leaves are my inspiration for the eye makeup that I wear during this time of year. I went through my makeup palettes and decided to find palettes that are perfect to wear for the Fall and share them with you . I love to wear colorful eyeshadow, but I know some do not like to wear too much color on their eyes, so I added one of my favorite neutral palettes that I think would be perfect to wear for the Fall as well.

I love how pigmented their palettes are. This is a great palette to achieve a sunset eye or for Fall inspired leaves. The pigmentation is great and this palette is very affordable.

For those that are not into wearing too much color on their eyes,The Lorac Pro Palette would make a great neutral palette for the Fall.This palette has copper,purple,and gold colors which makes this neutral palette ideal for the Fall. This palette has it all and the best part is that there are equal amounts mattes and shimmer colors. Another Fall trend is having brown eye makeup mixed with gold,bronze and a touch of black to intensify your look. I did a simple sultry eye look  using this palette which you can check out here.

It is compact and you can take this beauty wherever you go if you want to touch up your makeup.Raspberry color  in this palette is another very popular color to wear on your eyes for the Fall.

This is a fun palette that has everything to achieve the perfect Fall look.I love the green eyeshadow in this palette. The pigmentation is great and you get 12 eyeshadows for an amazing price. I used this palette in one of my Fall make up looks which you can check out Here.

My Top 5 Neutral Palettes

     As salaamu alaikum and hello lovelies!   I have been using my Neutral Palettes more often lately. I love the earthy tones. Neutral colors are perfect for every day wear and any occasion, whether its for work,school or a night out. What I love about Neutral Palettes is that they have different shades of Browns ranging  from warm to cool. The color Black that is usually in all Neutral palettes, is great if you want to create a nice Brown Smokey Eye or to intensify your look. I just love the versatility of  Neutral  Palettes. I am going to share with you my Top five Neutral Palettes. It was a very very tough decision in choosing the ones that made my Top Five. Let's have a look.


Le'ts start from the bottom up:

5.

5. Nyx Nude on Nude-  It was between The Balm's Nude tude and  Nyx's Nude on Nude. Nyx's Nude Palette won this spot because unlike the many Neutral  eyeshadow palettes out there, this palette has the most  Neutral colors to choose from. It has mattes, shimmers and glitter shadows. This palette also comes with lipgloss which is underneath by simply pulling it out. This is a plus because the lip colors compliment the Neutral colors and saves you the time of looking for lipstick or lipgloss that goes with your look.

  

4.

4. Lorac Pro Unzipped- This palette is perfect for a simpler Neutral Eye and perfect to create a beautiful wedding look. Lorac Unzipped has mattes and shimmers. The colors have softer tones and plenty of golden shades. If you are trying to achieve a natural look , this palette is the perfect choice.





3.

3.Sonia Kashuk's Eye on Neutral Palette 02 - All Matte Palette .Need I say more? I have never seen a palette that contains all Matte Neutral Eyeshadows. Most people prefer Mattes over shimmers. If you are that person, this palette is a must have. I love it. 

  2.Urban Decays's Naked 1- The classic Naked Palette that started it all. I had to choose between this and the Naked 2. I prefer warmer toned Browns which is why I chose this palette. The Naked 2 color selections are more cool toned.

   1.Lorac Pro- This has to be by far the best Neutral palette out there. Equal shimmers and mattes, makes this palette so versatile, giving you many options on contrasting looks. You can see a Review,Swatches and Photos of the Lorac Pro  by Clicking Here.



    The reason why The Balm's Nude Tude did not make the cut is because The Balm's Nude Tude  has similar colors  to Lorac Pro, but Lorac Pro's quality and pigmentation is better and has more eyeshadows to choose from. As for choosing the Urban Decay's Naked 1 Palette over the Urban Decays's Naked 2, is I just prefer warmer toned Browns. Naked 2 Palette is great but not many color choices when it comes to Brown color eyeshadows  and the colors are on the cool side.

Lorac Pro Palette Review,Swatches and Photos

 
       Hey everyone! I am excited to review this awesome Neutral palette. If you are a person who leans more towards Neutral colors then this palette is a must have. All together this palette has 16 colors. 8 Matte and 8 Shimmer colors. Lorac Pro Palette retails for $42.00.(0.32 oz) and comes with a Lorac Mini eye primer(0.17oz). This palette is versatile because you can pull off daytime looks aswell as night time looks. It is very sleek and has a magnetic closure making it travel friendly.

   

I love how thin the palette is and the way it feels. It has a rubbery smooth feel to it.

   
                                             Stand out colors: Mattes:Garnet and Deep Purple

                      
        Swatches:

                                                                                 

Mattes:

• White- Is a really nice high light color .  However, the color is chalky when u apply it. 
• Cream- Can be used as a high light color as well. Unfortunately, the color is chalky . My least favorite in the palette. When I apply the color as a highlight, it doesn't really show on my Olive skin tone. 
• Taupe-  a nice Soft Brown color and is a perfect transition color. Blends very nicely.
• Lt. Pink- is a baby pink color.Color is a bit chalky. 
• Mauve- Another Taupe color.This color is beautiful and one of my favorites of the Matte colors.
• Sable- Chocolate Brown color.Blends beautifully.
• Expresso- Deep Dark Brown color. Color is a bit chalky.
• Black- is indeed Black that can intensify any look, but it is Chalky.(see top of  the page  for swatch).

Shimmers:

• Nude-is a very Soft Peachy color.
• Creme-  Both Cream and Nude are very similar, but Cream is more Beige and has glitter chunks in it making it more sparkly.
• Gold- is a Coppery Gold Color.This is a such a gorgeous Gold and is a very pigmented. 
• Lt. Bronze- should have been named  Lt. Gold or Gold. I don't see how this is a Bronze color but beautiful shade nonetheless. 
• Pewter- is a Shimmery Taupe color.
• Garnet- is the color that caught my eye. It is a beautiful Rusty color. This is the most unique color in the palette and is extremely pigmented.  I love how it applies.
• Deep Purple- is a Deep Plum color and is extremely pigmented. You do not see too many Purples in a Neutral Palette. I love how they incorporated one. This color can be used in a Smokey Eye.
• Slate- is a beautiful Charcoal Grey color and is another color that can be used in a Smokey Eye.  

  Photos:

     Over all, this Palette is a winner. What sets this palette apart from the rest of the Neutral Palettes, is that there are equal amounts of Mattes and Shimmers. Most Neutral Palettes tend to have more Shimmers than Mattes. I love how Lorac Pro has so many Mattes  giving you many different colorful contrasts to work with.The texture and pigmentation of the palette is amazing. All colors are Velvety soft and apply smoothly while a few are a bit chalky. Lorac Pro Palette has colors that not many Neutral Palettes have like the colors Garnet and Deep Purple. Garnet is one of my favorite colors in the palette and was the first color I noticed when I opened it. The packaging is wonderful because it is  sleek making it convenient to take with you when u travel. If I have to take one Palette with me when I travel, it would be this one.I find myself using this Neutral palette the most. I highly recommend Lorac Pro Palette and it would be a great addition to your makeup  collection.

I rate Lorac Pro Palette 10/10.

          I hope you guys enjoyed this Review and have a wonderful day lovelies! :)
