Grey makeup bouquet

I’m so impressionable.

I haven’t thought of grey in forever, but the second I saw the misty, moody, far-more-flattering-than-black hue dominate the fall/winter 09 runway, I fell in love. Heather or granite; charcoal or slate — there’s a grey out there to suit every skin tone.

Here are my picks for some of the prettiest makeup shades and brands to add a provocative, but softly sultry look to complement all of those vampy outfits you’ll be inspired to sport this fall.

Yves Saint Laurent always features the most vibrant and clear shades. Their fall eyeshadows feature four matte, satiny and iridescent shades with a highlighter — all of which follow themes such as “Sahara,” “Indian Pink,” “Riviera,” and my grey pick, “Ombres 5 Lumiéres.” What’s prettier than silvery-grey, charcoal, baby pink and amethyst?

A bit of blue, a touch of grey, shake em up and you’ve got another Yves Saint Laurent masterpiece: 39, Stormy Grey.

Got green peepers? Grab grey mascara. It will make them pop.
