First thing’s first. I love pumpkin spice coffee. This has nothing to do with today’s post, but as I savor my fourth cup of the day, I can’t help but to share a little bit of the joy this flavor of falls brings to me. Now that you’ve seen a glimpse of my slight pumpkin obsession, onto business: fall’s metallic smokey eye. Metallics are everywhere right now, from nail polish to accessories, and even clothing. Putting it on your peepers is my favorite way to wear this seasonal trend, and it’s super simple. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow on the lid and inner corners. I absolutely love Motives Luxe Creme Eye Shadow in Gold Dust for this part. Add a darker color to your lash lines, blending it into the outer corners and into the crease. Motives Pressed Eye Shadow in Vino is a beautiful color, but any darker shade would do. Finish off with some Luxe Precision Eyeliner in Noir and a little mascara and you’re done! Easy, right?

A departure from summer’s nude and natural lips colors, bold, berry inspired lips are trending this fall and winter. But how to wear these luscious lip colors without looking too overdone? Check out these tips from Motives by Loren Ridinger:

I’m a huge fan of Motives new Mineral Lipsticks in empowering colors such as Motivated and Entrepreneur.

Are you going to go bold this fall?
