Sponsored: Mary Kay Must Have's for Fall.

What are your beauty must-have’s for fall? I am always looking for new trends and shades to wear each season. Right now, it’s all about a subtle glam look, a bit Hollywood Mystique. Gorgeous. Glamourous. Mysterious. Sexy. “Iconic glamour meets femme fatale fashion”.

I want to show you a quick and easy look that I created using some Mary Kay® makeup. The look is all about textured, neutral shades for the eyes, with a beautiful pop of berry on both the cheeks and lips. It’s a menswear with a feminine twist theme.

Watch the video to see exactly how I created my look.

I am not only impressed with the shades of the colors I selected, but the quality as well. The mineral colors are long-lasting, fade-resistant, and crease-resistant. They are even good for my skin. Packed with vitamins A, C and E, my eyes and cheeks are reaping the benefits, while getting protection against wrinkle-causing free radicals. How great it it that this makeup is actually good for me?

Mary Kay Makeup

Here are the products I used to create my look.

Mary Kay® Eyeliner ($12) - Black
Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color ($6.50) - Spun Silk
Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color ($6.50) - Hazelnut
Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color ($6.50) - Espresso
Mary Kay® Ultimate Mascara ($15) - Black
Mary Kay® Mineral Cheek Color ($10) - Cherry Blossom
Mary Kay® Nourishine Plus® Lip Gloss ($14) - Pink Luster

The three Mineral Eye Colors and Mineral Cheek Color are sold separately, but easily pop into the Mary Kay® Compact Mini ($16). Each single comes in a magnetic pan and all I do is pop them into the magnetic compact.

I will be stocking up on the Ultimate Mascara™ for sure. There was no clumping, and my lashes looked beautiful all day with no flaking or smudging.

I applied everything with brushes from the Mary Kay® Brush Collection ($48.00). The brushes are super full and soft. They worked wonderfully when applying my glam makeup look. The brushes are definitely going in my regular brush holder right on my vanity, because I will be using them every day.
