Berry Bliss | Fall 2014

The leaves are turning orange and my facebook feed is filled with photos of people at pumpkin patches, so it must be the peek of fall! If there's one color that is the perfect makeup color for the fall, it's berry! Berry is one of the few colors that you can wear on your lips, cheeks, and eyes, and still look chic and classic. Berry is a color that looks beautiful against tanned skin as well as paler skin tones that may be starting to lose that summer tan. It is also a color that won't clash with what your wearing, especially neutrals, greens, and browns.

One of the more obvious places where berry colors is usually featured are on the lips. For a sheer wash of color the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in "Berry" is a way to have the berry lip without too much color. For a more bold look, go for a lip liner, such as Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner in "Matte Raspberry 10C", and/or a lipstick, such as the YSL Rouge Volupté Shine in "18 Prune In Fire". If you're looking for something more subtle, a berry cheek color is a beautiful way to wear the color. Two berry blushes that I have been eyeing include the Bobbi Brown Blush in "Berry" and the Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in "Berry Pop". One of the least obvious places to wear berry is on the eyes. Berry eyeshadows, such as the Chanel Eyeshadow Duo in "40 Misty Soft" look gorgeous all over the lid or as a pop of color in the crease!

Is berry a color that you will be including in your makeup routine this year?
