AUTUMNAL MAKE UP

As the autumn season has finally approached I thought there was no better time than now to finally get out the bold berry lip and the neutral eye. I absolutely love this time of year, the chunky scarves, the daring lipsticks and of course the pumpkin spiced latte's. So today I thought I would show you the products I have been using for my everyday autumn make up look. 

During colder seasons I like to go for a more dewy foundation look as my skin tends to dry up during autumn and winter so to achieve this I use foundations such as the Rimmel True Match, Revlon Colorstay or Nars Sheer Glow with a light dusting of Rimmel's Stay Matte powder. To help enhance the dewiness I add a small amount of the Sleek highlighter in the contour kit and also without a doubt use the contour shade to add definition. For my brows I use my trusty Sleek eyebrow kit.

I tend to keep my foundation routine pretty similar throughout the year as I'm really bad at trying out new foundations and tend to stick to the same thing. However I do like to occasionally change up my highlighters, bronzer's and blushes. And for these I tend to use more cream products in the colder months as I find they stay in place much longer than they would during summer.

For my eyeshadow I used the Revolution Iconic 3 palette as it has a range of golds and browns. I like to keep my eyeshadow very simple when wearing a bold lip as I can find it a bit too full on so for this I just apply a gold shimmer shade all over the eyelid and add definition using a matte dark brown shade which I will also apply under the lower lashes. Lastly I added a pink shimmer shade in the center of my eyelid and on the inner corner. For years now I've stuck to my Natural Collection liquid eyeliner and lately I have been using the L'oreal telescopic mascara which I have fallen in love with.

Last of all which in my opinion is the star of this whole make up look is the burgundy lipstick. I have so many dark raspberry lipsticks, but today I decided to use Kiko's Smart Lipstick in 914 Amaranth and their Smart Lip pencil in 711 Light Plum.

I hope you've enjoyed this blog post and found it helpful in someway, I would love to hear what products you have been using this autumn and your favourite things to do during this time of year!

Lots of Love,
