One of the greatest things about the fall season is the depth and romance that comes with the changing of the colors in everything from the leaves to our wardrobes, and the beauty looks we choose to express ourselves. Which is why the new Mavens eye shadow palettes are such instant hits. I was so thrilled for the release of our two new “Dynasty” and “Demure” eye shadow palettes, developed with our beautiful Mavens, because I knew there would be something inherently essential and yet deeply dramatic about the colors in each collection. There’s something in here for every woman on any day of this fall season. Day or night, these palettes will create looks for the every mood and whim of the woman who wears them. So I had to ask the Mavens to help me show you what these palettes can do in preparation for fall — a season I can’t wait to get started on.
To kick off our “Maven Monday” series, Maryam is going to share some of her favorite beauty tips for fall and show us two looks she created with the “Dynasty” palette. Read ahead for all the glam details. xoxo
Maryam shares her favorite tips for fall beauty:
Plum Eyeshadow is extremely wearable, versatile and is the perfect eye makeup look to transition into fall. Not only does this shade work wonders on brown eyes, but it also compliments blues and greens, making them brighter and more vibrant.
Electra and Pandora are some of my favorite plummy shades from the Motives Mavens “DYNASTY” Palette and can be worn together or alone, day to night.
Pair this matte plum smokey eye (Electra blended out with Nefertiti) with a simple nude lip for a day look, then amp it up for night by layering Pandora on to the center of the lid and deepening the smoky gradient using Medusa eye shadow.
Try wearing this sultry plum eye look with red lips — you’ll be surprised to see how well they go together!
