Autumn Evening Makeup Look

Rimmel 25 Hour Nude Foundation in 100
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 3
Maybelline Matte Maker Powder
NARS Laguna Bronzer
theBalm Mary Lou Manizer

1) I started with a medium coverage, semi-matte base. I achieved this by building up my foundation with a buffing brush and concealing the problems areas (my nose, I have a cold!).

2) To achieve the eyes I applied the shadow pencil all over lids as a base and blended out. I applied some of the Amber Lights all over my lid and on my lower lash line, along with Mulch on the outer corner and lower lash line. To finish the eyes I used an angled liner brush with Midnight and lined my upper and lower lash line and created a small wing. I finished by applied a little kohl in my waterline and lashings of mascara.

3) Finishing the whole makeup look, I powdered, applied blush and blended it all out with a big fully powder brush to diffuse any harsh lines. I used the Apocalips on my lips and neatened up with a lip brush.


Autumn is my favourite season and I'm so excited for it!

I hope you enjoyed, Paige xo

Autumn is creeping on us in the UK so I wanted to do a light autumn look that was quick to create. This look consists of matte skin, thick liner and a dark red lip. It was super quick and easy and great if you want to amp things up a bit.
 
1) Starting with creating my matte base, I used a mattifing primer, then went onto my foundation which I built up to quite a full coverage for this look as I wanted it to look very crisp and defined. I concealed under my eyes and blemished and set with my powder.
 
2) Creating the liner was the hardest part for me as I'm a smudgy brown smokey eye gal. I started in the middle of the eye, slowly winging it out in line with the end of my brow. To achieve the thick line I just carried on building and building until it was the thickness I wanted.
 
3) I used my balm stain to lip my lips then fill in, I overdrew slightly to make my lips look fuller.
 
4) As a finishing touch, I took my matt bronzer and gently sculpted out my cheekbones. This really tied everything together as my face was looking very flat!
What do you think of this look? It's definitely out of my comfort zone as I love having colour on my bottom lashes but I love the way it turned out.
