If you have fair skin and blue eyes, try a wash of sheer pastel purple. Richer amethyst tones look amazing with green, brown or hazel eyes. I like to layer a bit of purple shadow over a smoky eye done in charcoal gray, or smudge some deep purple liner into my upper lash line. Lots of black mascara just makes the effect even more lush and romantic. Here’s my go-to shade:

Kristen Stewart recently appeared on the cover of Allure rocking some pretty amazing eye makeup. The color combination, bronzey-red and navy, gives an earthy-sexy result that looks stunning (and deserves repeating!). So here are three quick steps to making this sultry look your own.
1. Start with a loose powder eyeshadow, like Motives Paint Pot Mineral Eyeshadow in Cosmopolitan. Dip your brush lightly and pat the tip along the lashline of your upper lid, where you want the majority of this bronze shade to be concentrated. Then go back and gently blend up and out. Using the eyeshadow still left on your brush, very gently pat along the lashline of your bottom lid. This should leave a very light hint of color. Don’t overdue it here!

2. Using a very thin brush, apply a dark navy eyeshadow—Motives Cosmetics Pressed Eyeshadow in Midnight is perfect—along the outer edges of your upper lid and all the way across the lower one. Blend lightly until everything looks even.

3. Line the inside of your lid all the way around with Motives Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner in Noir. Keep the line very thin! Then finish with a light coat of mascara and you’re done.

Motives has been getting such wonderful press lately and I couldn’t be happier. Yesterday I found out about the SickaThanAverage article, and just this morning I got an e-mail from a Motives fan letting me know that Motives has had another great review on AllAboutThePretty.net! You can click here to read the article and the review of almost the entire line!

Motives “Go Red” Lipstick for the American Heart Association was suggested as a “Right Holiday Red Lipstick” option on NYC-based writer and editor Celia San Miguel’s blog, SickaThanAverage.com. That just made my whole day! Click here to read the entire article.

I am so happy with the way Motives has taken off this past year! The line is such a passion of mine and it felt amazing to have Motives be the official cosmetics line used at this year’s Miami Fashion Week. I wanted to post the video and share with all of you the excitement behind the scenes:
Enjoy!

One of my new favorite trends for fall is to add a little copper shadow to my lids. It’s a neutral color with some spice and compliments everyone. If your skin is fair, go for paler shades of copper; if you have a darker skintone, feel free to dip into a more russet tone like Motives® by Loren Ridinger Paint Pot Mineral Eyeshadow in Cosmpolitan. Pair it with a touch of brown eyeliner and some bronzer. The overall effect is everything you want fall makeup to be – chic, flattering and easy all at once.
