6th: Elégance

.

I like the simple and elegant packaging of the new Mirage Eyes and Genteel Face from Elégance’s fall 2011 makeup collection. The details on the mirrors are a nice touch. Mirage eyes features some very wearable colors, and the warmer browns and the olive green have especially caught my attention.

10th: Sonia Rykiel

.

I do like a bit of color for fall (among all the neutrals and other muted shades), and Sonia Rykiel’s fall 2011 Sensual makeup collection is giving me that.  The new Eyeshadow Duos include soft hues, vibrant colors, and sedate shades. The new shades/variations of Mousse Eyeshadow and Cheek Color Powder also inject some fresh colors into fall.
