Makeup for Fall’s Sexist Eye
(1) Pop Beauty Smokey Eye ($32, sephora.com) This kit of 12 smoldering shades contains everything from liner to highlighter to create the hands down sexist eye this fall. All in a sleek black slim wallet that could pass for a clutch. A must have for the fall.

(2) Prescriptives Groom Stick for Brows ($18.50, prescriptives.com) Nothing shapes up your face faster then a nicely groomed brow. With this in mind, Prescriptives introduces their two-in-one tool the groom stick. One end
is a none sharpening ultra-fine tip. The other end is a plush styling brush that blends color and tames unruly brows.

(3) Bobbi Brown Sugar Metallic Eye Palette ($45, bobbibrown.com) This new limited edition Metallic eye shadow palette comes with three delicious velvety shades. Toffee, Gold Dust and Burnt Sugar are all highly pigmented high shimmer colors that stay creamy and crease free all day! I wore the Gold dust to work swept on my lid and stepped it up at night with all three. These colors are completely wearable and some of the most versatile I have tired. A serious buy for the fall.
