For Your Eyes: NARS Single Eye Shadow in Daphne
This richly pigmented shadow is the perfect pop for your eyes. It's a matte formula that blends easily with other colors. For a softer look, try blending it with NARS Single Eye Shadow in Mangrove to lighten up the lid or brighten your look up by dabbing a sheen white shadow in the corners of your eye.
Beauty Tip: Violet makes a great bright eyeliner, another huge trend for fall. Give your lower lash line the spotlight by lining not only the lash line but also the inner rim, says makeup expert Dara Klein. Wing the line out slightly in the outer corner and gently smudge it to create a fuzzy, smoky line. Skip lining your top lash line and coat lashes with four to five coats of mascara instead. This creates a wide, doe-eyed effect.

For Your Lips: Makeup Forever Rogue Artist Intense Pick #15
This new collection of lipstick are designed with higher pigmentation, almost 50 percent more than the average lipstick! This means the color will last longer, rather than fading midday. This pearly violet shade goes on with a slight shine and a deep, gorgeous purple hue.
Beauty Tip: If you get a little heavy handed with your lipstick, or decide to ditch the color completely, apply a clear gloss or balm over it, then blot with a tissue. Repeat until you've subdued or removed the offending layers.

For Your Nails: O.P.I Nail Polish in The Color to Watch
This dusty lavender polish has a hint of blue in it, making it a fun option for fall. It's part of the brand's Swiss collection and may take a few coats to get the desired shade you want, since it's on the sheerer side. For a darker shade, try MAC's Dark Angel.
Beauty Tip: To speed up your polish drying, try cold water. Fill a bowl with water, add some ice cubes, and then dip your fingernails into the water several times for up to a minute. The cold temperature of the water helps seal in the polish chemicals and harden the lacquer.
