The brand new Maybelline EyeStudio Color Plush Eyeshadow Quad’s for fall 2012 are amazing. Smokey Cinnamon is particularly a great option for those of you with brown and hazel eyes! I was able to put together the perfect look for autumn with this palette, too, conjuring up images of the changing leaves of the season. Inside I’ve got swatches of the palette as well as more pictures of the look I did using the palette!
The shades are super “natural” looking, in that they remind me of the outdoors during the fall. Changing leaves in a park is what comes to my mind in particular. If you’re a lover of green eyeshadow, this has two really beautiful green shades in it that you’ll love. What caught my eye originally was that stunning red-brown shade that just perfectly complements the greens.
The look I put together is quite simple to achieve with this palette. I popped the light green shade into the corners of my eyes and half of my eyelid, and put the dark green on the outer half of my eyelid. Then, I put the red-brown shade into the crease of my eyes, not pulling it too far upward so that the look remained “earthy” looking. I also applied the red-brown to the bottom lash-line.
Overall, a really earth looking group of shades that really reminds me of my favorite season…autumn! I mean, if I were to bottle up autumn and splash it on my eyes, this would be it! The eyeshadow is also such great quality that they are so easy and simplistic to work with…they practically blend themselves out on your eye.
