As fall approaches, I like to change things up just slightly when it comes to makeup. One of the most effective ways to transform the look of your makeup is to use eyeshadow.
I prefer to invest in eyeshadow palettes to get versatility and value. The fall season is all about desert neutrals, golds, bronzes, and effortless looks everywhere. A majority of makeup brands have eyeshadow palettes to suit the needs already in their arsenal Some have tweaked it slightly and have launched brand new neutrals as well as dreamy golds for the new season.
