I’ve been very into colored eye liner lately (love the ones from Clarins), which is pretty rare for me, so I’ve been sticking to more neutral/dark metallic shadows for my eyes, which I think is fitting with fall coming-up — right?! What’s great about colored eye liner is that you can just throw it on along with some shadow and mascara and your face is instantly livened-up — how effortlessly fresh does Kate Hudson’s makeup look? LORAC has a wonderful palette to go with your colored eye pencils — it’s their new Multi-Platinum Palette, $37 and it’s for eyes and cheeks. It’s a spin-off of LORAC’s Croc Palette, $35 so it has the same faux-croc exterior which I have to say I’m not the biggest fan of, but I can ignore it because for $37 even though I only like 4 out of the 6 eye colors and don’t need the blush, is a steal. The colors are nice and soft, and long-lasting (didn’t reapply all day). They have a slight shimmer which I love and you can use them wet or dry. Another stand-out from the new LORAC collection is their Double Feature Concealer/Highligher, $24 — this has about a million different uses, but I like it best because it’s a quick cover-up for dark circles which is essential when prepping your eyes for all the attention they’ll be getting with colored eye pencils!!
