Making The Most of Autumn

It honestly feels like all I have spoken about on my blog recently is Autumn. Well, in fact it is all I have been posting about. I can't help it. All of the autumnal themed posts make me feel motivated and I just love reading them. Autumn is a lot of people's favourite season and if you look around outside, and in the shops, you can understand why. 

Over the weekend, I went for a walk through a local wood. I always thought it would be extremely peaceful to walk through a woods during the autumn time - taking in all of the orange, yellow and brown crinkly leaves, brought about by the seasonal change and seeing all of the conkers and their shells covering the muddy floor... and let me tell you, it was! All I can think about is returning back to this wood on a crisp, frosty morning and seeing the place transform from this autumnal haven. 

If you haven't yet, make the effort to go and adventure somewhere new, or somewhere you love and take in all of the autumn-ness. Make the most of this beautiful season. 

Why do you love Autumn?

A Sunset Look

I have seen so many sunset makeup looks floating around the internet lately, and I wanted to give it a go myself. Personally, I feel like the warmth and vibrancy of the pinks and oranges in this look transformed the colour of my eyes - they look so blue! This look was super simple, and I only used 3 shadows!! 

I started with a bright orange shade from the Morphe 305M palette, which I ran through my crease as the initial transition colour. I then moved onto a darker, more red based orange from the same palette and blended this colour directly into the crease of my eye, and up into the orange shade. Next I took the shade 'Burgundy' from the Kylie Jenner Burgundy eyeshadow palette and placed this over my entire eye lid. Going back and forth with the first two orange shades, I blended the burgundy shade into the orange eyeshadows. My lower lashline consisted of the same steps, but reversed - starting with 'Burgundy' first. 

The lashes I am wearing are by far my favourite pair of strip lashes that Red Cherry do. They're in the style #213. I always get my lashes from here.

What do you think of my recreation of a sunset eyeshadow look?
