<p>Fall colors and blue. <br></p>
<br>
<h2>my fall </h2>
<p>The weather may be staying hot through the day, but every morning dip has me feeling <i>this</i> is the day fall finally begins. Eventually. Maybe. Okay, probably not for another month. But at least I have power to choose which colors I wear. <br></p>
<br>
<p>This is my interpretation moving into fall '22. Initially, I was feeling bronzes. I wanted summer to be the season of bronze, but it never really happened. Bronze is a good seasonal transition (an all-around good color), but I keep neglecting it. Even with this palette, I don't quite have a bronze. What I ended up with is an orange + brown quad and a red + green quad, each with plenty of shifting shadows and shimmers. Not my first plan, but I've loved the unexpected synergies in here. (Is building an 8-pan palette like building a skillbar?) <br></p>

<p>I use the browns for deepening, the orange as a transition, the multichrome as an eyeliner, and the white for inner corner, halo eyes, or adding an aegyo-sal highlight to the center of my lower lashline. The olive works well for lining under my aegyo-sal (the little bit of fat under my eye), since it's close to a brown already and neutralizes against the many reds and oranges. Red Chameleon pairs with the reds or the greens or buffed into a one-shadow look. I used to use red (Urban Decay Gash) for years in igari-style makeup (think drunk, sleepy, or angry), but intentionally looking ill during a plague just feels socially irresponsible and lost its luster. It's fun to find a new way to work red into looks again. Also, just chocolate and nothing else eyes is pure comfort food. <br></p>
<br>
<p>Black-based multichromes can look very harsh, but I'm finding using Sundazed over an olive eyeliner base softens it up while retaining the dramatic shift. <br></p>

<h2>blue indulgence </h2>
<p>This is based on the blue eyeshadow rolling in for fall - any blue, any finish, any style. This one keeps getting suggested season after season by analysts, but Hannah Louise Poston's video has me convinced this time for no reason in particular. Blue is my f-a-v-o-r-i-t-e eyeshadow color (favorite color in general?), particularly a deep but not blackened true navy. My eyes are a relatively vibrant orangy brown, so deep blue makes them pop more than the traditional purple. Since I love blue so much, I have a few different variations of it. Why not put them all into a monochromatic palette and try the other blues more? <br></p>

<p>Super Star and Below Zero are just as incredible as the navy shadows! Super Star is almost too gorgeous to be comfortably wearable - it catches a lot of attention and compliments. Luna pairs perfectly on the browbone with any of these. In general, it's been fun giving the non-navy blues a shot. <br></p>

<h2>custom palettes over premade any day! </h2>
<p>I absolutely adore my palettes this go-around. The fall palette supports my vibe lately - neutral looks, color grounded in neutrals, and aegyo-sal. The blue supports the rest - colorful eyeliners and unstructured swarths of bold color. They're also a mix of favorites, reliables, and colors I never get around to wearing but totally should. Despite all that, I'm pretty sure if I saw an ad for these things, I wouldn't be that interested. No idea what that says about me. <br></p>
