Perfect Eye Palettes For A/W

Perfect Eye Palettes For A/W

While we can bemoan the cold, unmistakably Irish weather this new September season, we can’t help but feel a little bit happy inside. The autumn brings about many positives that include cosy cashmere jumpers, ravishing raincoats (hey, we’ll need them) an excuse to re-work our skincare routine, and in terms of beauty; palettes, beautiful palettes. More specifically, eye palettes fit for a (snow) queen that will revive and enhance your peepers. The A/W season means our favourite brands introduce these lust-worthy palettes into their beauty collections, that will seamlessly set off our wardrobe choices to perfection.

The bright, shimmering tones of summer are replaced with matte rich berry hues, dark taupes and browns and a hint of glitter to see you into the Christmas party season (it’s best to start mentioning the ‘C’ word now so we can all get comfortable with it). Our favourites include palettes?by Urban Decay, Mac, L’oreal, YSL and Armani and they are so gorgeous you’ll scarcely be able to wait to get your hands on them. Each one contains a multitude of colours that will see you from day to night as you need and they are available from all good beauty counters now. Form an orderly queue.
