Autumn Make Up Look | Oct 2017

This is a really simple daily make up guide for the cosy autumn months. If you would rather spend your time playing in the fallen leaves than applying your face then this tutorial may be for you…

Barry M | Fall in Love Eyeshadow Palette

Starting with this beautiful fall palette, I focused on the 4 Burned orange, red-toned shades for the perfect autumn effect. these shadows are super pigmented so I blended them well to keep the look subtle and effortless. Brushes used were the Spectrum co6 and the Real techniques 200 for blending.

Sleek | Brow Kit | Light 817

Using the darker wax I shaped my brows using an angled brow brush from Wilko. To create an ombre brow look I do less stroked of the brush when getting closer to the centre of the brows leaving the centre strands left almost untouched.

Max Factor | 2000 Calorie mascara | Black

I just LOVE this mascara! it perfectly separates my lashes and is really buildable which is great for a subtle look or when you want to go ALL OUT.

 Lush | Jackie Oats | Colour Supplement

This Lush colour supplement is great for a light coverage day, the texture is creamy and can be mixed with a sunscreen or moisturiser for an even more sheer coverage. As I have very pale skin this is a perfect match for me but I do know that lush offer many more shades here. unfortunately, I couldn’t find this product on the UK site but I have linked the US site for information.

Bare Minerals | Pop Of Passion | Pink Passion

This beautiful pink lip colour is a great way to add a pop of colour to an otherwise simple makeup look. as it is also very moisturising, it feels light and youthful on the lips all day

H&M | pure radiance powder blusher | cantaloupe

The Gorgeous sheer pink colour that gives just enough rosé cheek vibes to look like you’ve stepped out into the brisk autumn air. PERFECT

MAC | Mineralize SkinFinish | Soft and Gentle 

Who ever said that no sun means no glow? who am I kidding? everyone loves a bit of glow…

This highlight is well, soft and gentle and perfectly compliments a subtle autumn look.

Benefit | Hoola Matte Bronzer

To finish the look I bronzed with the Benefit Hoola Bronzer to make me look more alive (It’s not Halloween yet!) I love this bronzer because it can be used to give a subtle contour with ease, I used the B. Mini Contour brush to get this look.

 

Thank you for checking out my blog and I hope to see you soon!

RITUALS… zensational foaming shower gel

The delicious scent of organic rice milk & cherry blossom woke me up this morning, using this fun gel/foam body wash excited my standard shower!

The strong and gentle hold of this style extending spray reduces frizz and keeps styles looking fresh and sleek.
