As I lay out today’s outfit, a mini sundress and towering open-toe heels, I’m reminded that my days of wearing short frocks and strappy sandals will soon come to an end. Before I know it, my predictable obsession with chic turtlenecks (trust me: they actually exist), chunky platform boots, and wool berets will have settled in for the coming months. And with those seasonal favorites will be a fleet of fall eyeshadow colors that I’ll bravely buy and perhaps master before the first snowfall.
Eyeshadow has never been my forte, but now that I’m sporting a big chop once again, I’ve tasked myself with getting a little adventurous with color. Specifically, shadows and liner that’ll draw all of the attention to my eyes when I’m dealing with a surprise breakout or a grow-out that needs the attention of a barber. Predictably so, some of my favorite brands are already a month ahead of the game with new and/or staple favorite colors that will no doubt match the vibes of leaves changing color and whatever Fashion Month trends take off in New York, Paris, Milan, and London.
With that being said, here are 11 standout eyeshadow palettes and single shades that will get you excited to bid adieu to whatever summer shades you’re wearing now.
