Autumnal makeup to me is all about shades of cranberry, purple/plum and orange - the best colours. Here are the products that I looove to use on a daily basis in Autumn.
Nars Sheer Glow is my choice of foundation when I don't want a full coverage base (you most definitely can build it up for a fuller coverage base though). With a light layer, your skin 'peaks' through, but still looks flawless. I don't tend to use a lot of foundation in the colder months, and for that reason, Sheer Glow is my go-to. For concealer, I have been loving the Bourjous Radiance Reveal concealer. It really brightens my under eyes with zero creasing.
To set where I have concealed I always use the Laura Mercier Translucent setting powder. I could never replace this stuff, it's truly amazing. To set the rest of my base makeup in place, I use the Rimmel Stay Matte powder.
To bronze, I love to use the Bourjous bronzing powder in '52' around my temples, my cheekbones and my neck. If I want an extra bronzy glow, the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked powder in Bronze 03 is gorgeous when it catches the light, giving the skin a bronze sheen. Blush, is always Nars Orgasm.
To shape, define and fill in my brows, I use the Mac eyebrow pencil. Once I am happy with how my brows are looking, I clean them up with a bit of concealer, and set them with the Maybelline Brow Drama.For today's eyeshadow look, I used the shade 'LA' from the Kylie Jenner Burgundy Palette on my lid - a beautiful gold with an undertone of burnt orange. I applied Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara to both, my top and bottom lashes.
For highlight, I chose the Laura Mercier Face Illuminator in Indiscretion. This highlight isn't subtle, but isn't filled with glitter either. It can be applied softly for a muted look, or layered to appear 'blinding'.
My favourite lip liner is Mac Whirl, and I paired it with Charlotte Tilbury Penelope Pink. The overall look is warm and sparkly, just what I like.
What's your favourite makeup item to use in the Autumn? Have you tried any of these products?

It’s a lovely foundation - you wouldn’t be disappointed if you do try it! I do find that I enjoy it on my skin when I’m a good skin day, if that makes sense? Thank-you lovely Xx

DeleteOooh, such a beautiful selection of products in here. Definitely also Autumn-approved. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe Laura Mercier powder has been on my wish list for absolute ages! I never got my hands on one, as I always thought there was more important things to buy (like highlighters, eyeshadow palettes........)
It's quite pricey for a product that I don't even know if I'm gonna get on with, and they wouldn't give me a sample when I asked, so I ended up pushing it to the very end of my wish list. I do feel like the hype around it has finally died down a bit, as a lot of other brands are doing the loose powders now, too.

It’s strange that the people on the counters wouldn’t give you a sample of the powder! Surely most cosmetic counters would let you sample anything if you wanted too. I know that you can buy the Laura Mercier powder in a smaller travel sized pot, but I know the price point is still over £20! I would really recommend you get round to try it at some point - especially if you’re the type of girl who likes to set cream products with a powder! I use it every day and my last pot lasted me a year or so! Very much worth the investment in my eyes :-)
DeleteVery interesting post! Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteEverything here looks amazing! Your highlight looks amazing, I am definitely adding that one to the Christmas list haha!xx
