fall beauty 2013: the easiest eye makeup look

i can't say it enough: i love the fall season!

and for good reason: cool, crisp air; beautiful color-changing leaves...

when it comes to beauty, earthy, vibrant colors inspire the creation of warm, golden beauty looks; grounded in hues that are uber-flattering, these shades work for everyone, not to mention they're simple, pretty and beyond easy to incorporate into your every day makeup routine.

Total Beauty recently created a pinboard on their site and it features the easiest makeup recipe that you need to be wearing now {product suggestions added by me}:

1. sweep a light golden shadow over the base of your lid {mark. I-mark Goldi Luxe wet/dry shadow is a gorgeous option}.

2. tap a deep, rich brown into the crease and down to the corners of your eyes {my current go-to shade is found in the Jasper combination of Prestige cosmetics' Shimmering Trios Mineral shadows}.

3. use a blending brush to smudge the colors evenly.

4. trace a chocolate brown eyeliner pencil over your top lid {try Laura Mercier longwear creme eye pencil in Espresso ~ it applies smoothly, smudges effortlessly and locks in place all day}.

5. finish with a volumizing mascara {Rimmel London ScandalEyes is my current fave}

voila! you're beautiful ~ i told you it was easy... :)
