.

At first, Chanel’s fall 2015 makeup collection didn’t excite me very much, but it kept growing on me. There is a quiet elegance about the rich and sumptuous autumnal hues. I particularly like Les 4 Ombres in 254 Tissé d’Automne (below), with olive green and warm brown.

I don’t often go for non-powder blushers, but I can be occasionally tempted by them. Shiseido Majolica Majorca‘s Cream de Cheek was one of the non-powder blushers that did tempt me, and I went for PK312 Shell Pink Cream.

Integrate’s fall 2015 makeup collection features the new Nudy Grade Eyes series. Based on some of the images I have seen online, it seems that the colors, the pigmentation levels and the finishes are all towards the natural side. I am currently interested in BR353.

.

I feel that some of Lunasol‘s recent seasonal makeup collections lack flair and imagination. Its fall 2015 Captivating Purification makeup collection has a chocolate theme, which we have seen for many times from other brands. However, Selection de Chocolat Eyes in EX01 Chocolat Noir, with its intensely dark shades, is not only the standout item in this collection but also one of the line’s more memorable eyeshadow palettes in the last few seasons.
