I was feeling very "fall" this morning, so I decided to pull out my squash-colored turtleneck. As I sat down to do my makeup, I was inspired to coordinate my makeup with my outfit, plus I got some samples from Mally Roncal (a celeb makeup artist that I interviewed this week) that I was looking forward to trying out. First, I used her Forever Silk Liquid Eyeshadow in Champagne, $25, which is kinda like a shimmering peachy, bronze color. 

Next, I sat there for a moment at my vanity looking in the mirror (sounds vain, I know) and pondered what lip color would work. Then I decided that a monochromatic makeup look might work. So I tried Mally's Evercolor Lasting Lip Color & Gloss in Summer Nude, $25, which is a darker peach color and clear gloss combo (ironic about the shade name, I know, but it works and still looks "fall" nonetheless.)

While doing my makeup I got to thinking about coordinating eye and lip makeup. I know that there are some "rules" such as, if you're going for a bold lip, then don't do a bold eye. But can these rules be broken? And what works for one gal might not look good on the next. For example, I'm fair, blonde and have light eyes, so who knows if this peach eye/lip combo will work on someone with a different complexion. What do you think?
