Lid Lust's for Autumn: High End & High Street


AUTUMN/WINTER MAKEUP MUSTS: PART ONE, LID LUSTING


As October has rolled in, and November is on the horizon its this kind of time when i find my make up must have starts to change, especially with Eye products, over the next few weeks I'm going to go through all my changes and must haves in your make up bag to rock the best Autumn/Winter looks.


Bare Minerals ID Loose Eyeshadow: 

Purple is not one of the easiest colours to wear, but this is such a gorgeous shade, and you can do so much with so little, anything from a night out with a deep purple smokey eye, to just using this as liner across the lash line, its such a gorgeous shade.

Rimmel:

This kind of follows the Bare Minerals trend, its a slightly purple taupe colour, this is gorgeous just to sweep over the lid or to layer with other colours as well, and its a bargin', with a large amount to product given and so pigmented. Cant go wrong can you really?!

Gosh Eye Duo:

Another High Street hero as far as i am concerned, slightly more pricey than your Rimmel's, Collection and other well known brands, but you do get a good quality to product. Just from the picture you can see how rich the chocolate brown shade is, the white colour makes for  a lovely inner eye high light as well if you want to accent under the brow bone, they are so creamy and blend-able. Warm rich colours for Autumn!

Mac Constructivist Paint Pot:

Yes again, another rich chocolate brown shade, but its a cream shadow this time round so it did justify me buying another eyeshadow. Thats what I like to tell myself anyway! This unfortunately is not a high street brand, nor high street price, the paint pots start at £14-£15 I believe but if some are in a limited edition collection their prices may vary. That aside, this is a lovely product its another one of those sweep across the lid, bish bash bosh your ready to go, a lick of mascara and what more do you need. Its so easy to wear and can be accented with other shades, liner etc...  

Mac Eyeshadows in Cork and Shroom:

Yes we are back at Mac, you cant ever go wrong really can you? and yes we are also back at browns and white highlighting colours, its a classic what can I say!
This is kind of a pricier version of the Gosh Duo, bar the brown shade here being matt and no where near as dark, this is a combo I like to wear alot, and sometime I love to load up on the mascara and lightly put Cork through the crease just at add a little something.

Topshop Eye-Duo:

My final eye lid lusting product is this duo from Topshop makeup, and i actually think their eye shadows are a dark horse in the makeup world, they are so creamy, pigmented and well priced. I have to say I have not dared to rock these two colours together, but they have been worn on separate occasions. The Golden brown is a dirty version of Mac Patina, and the Blue is beautiful in its own right. I don't know if this specific duo is still available they have colours still in store and online like them, go be bold back away from the beige and brown every now and again and try a blue, or even a rusting cranberry red if your feeling daring.


What are your Lid Lust's from Autumn/Winter, high street and high end, any recommendations for products for me to give a go?
