Happy October! I hope your month is unfolding beautifully and that you’ve had a chance to savor a few cozy, seasonal moments. Over the past several weeks, I’ve been sharing new content across Instagram and YouTube, and today I wanted to highlight something I’ve been especially inspired by lately: my most-used eyeshadow palettes and beauty staples. These are the pieces I reach for constantly, the ones that seamlessly fit into my routine and elevate even the simplest look.
Palette Power: Where Eyes Take Center Stage
Eyeshadow palettes have always been one of my favorite ways to refresh a beauty wardrobe. The right selection of shades can instantly make you feel polished, creative, or ready for a new season. This fall, a few standouts are getting all the love.
- Natasha Denona I Need A Nude Palette – A masterclass in neutral tones, this palette strikes the perfect balance between wearable and sophisticated. The flattering spectrum of shades makes it endlessly versatile, while the smaller Mini Nude Palette delivers the same elegance in a travel-friendly form.
- SUQQU 20th Anniversary Face and Eye Palette 101 – A true collector’s piece, this palette blends innovation with timeless beauty. I’ve already shared swatches, but seeing the pigments in action really drives home their richness and refinement.
- Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Quad in #7 Starlight Splendor – Elegant packaging aside, the textures in this quad are buttery smooth and the shades work together effortlessly. It’s the kind of palette that makes eyes look luminous with very little effort.
- SUQQU Eye Color Quad 129 + Tone Touch Eyeshadow 114 – SUQQU always manages to balance boldness with wearability, and these shades are no exception. From softly diffused washes to deeper, defined looks, they deliver consistently stunning results.
For those who prefer simplicity, the Sisley-Paris Phyto-Eye Twist in Fawn is a swipe-and-go option that never fails to impress. Its creamy formula blends like a dream and stays put all day.
Beyond the Shadows: Complementary Favorites
While palettes take center stage, a few additional products round out my current rotation beautifully:
- Orlane Multi Soleil Powder – A multi-use bronzing powder that warms up the complexion while adding soft dimension.
- Make Infinite Hold Sculpting Brow Gel in Cool Brown – Keeps brows in place with a natural finish.
- SUQQU Liquid Brow Pen 02 – Ideal for creating delicate, hairlike strokes.
- Lisa Eldridge Seamless Glide Eyeliner in Night Forest – A deep, green-toned liner that feels both modern and timeless.
- Christian Audette Panther Eyeliner – A rich black that defines the eyes with precision.
Together, these products create a polished yet approachable look that feels appropriate for everyday wear but can be dialed up for evening.
Lips to Finish the Look
No beauty routine feels complete without the right lip color, and these have been my staples this season:
- Jones Road Lip Pencil in Nudist – A versatile nude liner that pairs beautifully with countless lipsticks.
- Dior Forever Lipstick in 215 – Classic Dior elegance, offering rich color payoff and long-lasting wear.
- SUQQU Treatment Wrapping Lip in 105 – Equal parts care and color, this hybrid formula delivers a plush, hydrated finish.
And while not officially mentioned, I’ve also been wearing Bake Up Tarantulash Mascara for a bold lash moment that ties everything together.
The Bottom Line
This curated mix of palettes, liners, and lip favorites has been shaping my October routine in the most delightful way. They offer everything I crave in fall beauty: warmth, richness, and ease of use.
I’d love to know—what’s catching your eye right now? Are you leaning into classic neutrals, or experimenting with bold shades as we transition into cooler weather?
There’s much more ahead, including a fresh foundation deep-dive, a step-by-step tutorial, and some exciting fall and winter launches I can’t wait to reveal. In the meantime, I continue to share daily snippets on Instagram and in my LTK shop, so be sure to follow along there for even more beauty inspiration.
Stay strong, seek wisdom, and savor the joy of this season. Much love, and more soon.
