Read MoreFor October, it was so easy to choose my three fave things. I just wrote the piece about Anna Gunn, and realized that I have to include the Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Eyeliner in Brown as my first fave.

It’s a cool hybrid of a lipstick and lip gloss. For a shimmery nighttime look, it’s unbeatable. Rounding out my three fave things are the Ardell Flair Short Brown Lashes. I use these lashes almost every time I work, and much prefer them to heavy coats of mascara. They create a soft, natural look that you can’t get with a strip.
