There is nothing quite as beautiful as New England in the Fall; there is nothing quite like Fall-inspired makeup. Eyeshadows get warmer and richer; lipstick colors turn burgundy and brown. The crisp air makes it suitable for wearing glam without fear of products melting off your face. In today’s post, I’ll be sharing a curated selection of my best Fall-Inspired eyeshadow palettes.

Persona Cosmetics Copper Color Theory Kit | $38.00, CF
As someone with a large collection, I’m a huge fan of micro-palettes and the Persona Cosmetics Copper Color Theory Kit is no exception. This mini 5-pan palette comes in a copper-themed kit with an eyeliner and eyeshadow brush. Although monochromatic, this highly curated, vibrant orange-copper kit creates many beautiful looks.
Also, overall, the Persona eyeshadow formula is a favorite of mine. Check out this review of the Persona Identity Palette or this review on the brand’s Season One Liquid Lipsticks and Season One Lip Glosses.

Say what you’d like about the formula, but the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette remains a stunning, a-typical rainbow palette perfect for the Fall season. These shadows do take work to build and blend on the eye. However, the color story is unrivaled for the Fall.

Final Thoughts on my the Best Fall-Inspired Eyeshadow Palettes
At the end of the day, makeup and clothing no longer have to be seasonal. Nevertheless, there is something about the changing of the leaves that makes me want to mimic that with my beauty choices. Ultimately, each of these palettes enables wearers to bring a little bit of autumn on their eyelids.
