Now for the drama…

It's almost holiday time and the eyes have it. Check out Laura Mercier's Canyon Collection for Fall 2011. I opted for the following "best in beauty" eye shadow combination to bring out the hazel and tone down the frazzle.

Pine Bronze - A showstopper, limited edition khaki green with a gold shimmer to die for.

Gold Dust - A deep, shimmering gold from the permanent collection.

Cedar - A limited edition tawny golden brown.

This combination reminds me of burning sunsets, lush green landscapes and the spectacular colors of the Grand Canyon.

The triple threat packs a punch and if you choose to up your game try Jungle, Caviar Stick Eye Colourand really smoke it out.

Just apply and let the holiday party smack down begin…

Dishin' Tip - Have them put all three colors in a custom compact for convenience. Makes it easier to carry in an evening bag.
