The one eyeshadow you need in your makeup kit and on your eyes this fall is a smoldering grey. Whether you wear it matte and bold or soft and shimmery, a grey eyeshadow will keep you on trend this fall because grey matters.

Seen on the runways at Donna Karan and Derek Lam for Fall 2014 were grey lids — from smoked-out shades of grey to shimmering platinum shadows.To compliment the look, the remainder of the makeup is left simple — groomed brows and barely there lips and cheeks.

    The Lorac Pro 2 is Bomb Dot Com, but I also love another affordable shade which is NYX Baked eyeshadow in “Smoke & Mirrors” especially wet because it gives it that high-end metallic finish to it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
