What: Becca Eye Color Powder
Why: I admit, sometimes the technicolor M A C girls scare me. They’re all dressed in black, their make-up is dramatic and I’m, well, Midwestern. So when I opened up the Becca
box, the futuristic packaging gave me pause. But I resolved to be adventurous. The creamy powder infused with micro-fine shimmer went on with a velvety sheen. And its color (I tried the dark brown called Suede
) lasted. No weird eyelid crease after 10 minutes and it didn’t flake into shadow dandruff or raccoon eyes. Hello new $20 obsession in 21 colors!

Another hot new beauty trend for fall is dark nail polish. Forget the lighter-than-air coquettish shades of season’s past; this fall’s signature color is darker and grittier; softened with a slight opalescence. Once reserved for Halloween, black nail polish is making a comeback by giving haute couture a rebellious edge. Inspired by Angelina Jolie or Mary Kate Olsen, this bad-girl look is perfect to unleash your inner sex kitten.
