Hey lovelies. Since autumn has finally arrived I decided it was time I switched up my make-up routine. Swapping the pink toned lipsticks for deep berry shades. I switch up my makeup the same way I do my wardrobe. I thought it would be fun to share with you all the products I use throughout autumn/winter time.
BASE-
To prime my face, I always use my Mac Fix+ spray. I wait for this to settle in before going in with the main base of my make-up. Recently my skin's been a lot better *touch wood it doesn't now break out awfully* this means I've been able to wear Maybelline's dream BB Fresh BB cream. I love this BB cream because it even outs my skin tone and gives my skin a gorgeous healthy glow. Obviously, this isn't the most high coverage product so it does mean I do have to go over any blemishes with concealer, which I don't mind. I always use the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. Once I've gone over the areas that need a little extra coverage my makeup finally looks more medium coverage. In order to set my makeup, this product will come as no surprise to you but I always opt for my Rimmel London Stay Matte powder.
CONTOUR-
I've been so excited to share my current contour products with you because I was luckily enough to get my hands on the Anastasia Cream Contour Kit and I've been absolutely loving it. I use this to highlight and contour the obvious parts of my face. I will be doing a full review and routine using this soon, so keep an eye out for that. To bronze my face and make my face less of a ghost I use the Hoola Bronzer . In order to highlight and give myself a gorgeous glow I use two products that work perfectly together. I start of by highlighting certain points of my face using Benefits High Beam liquid highlighter, I use this as a primer for my highlight. This also allows my highlight to look more pigmented. Then over the top of that I go in with MAC's Soft & Gentle highlighter. This is my absolute go to highlighter.
EYES-
For eyes, I love using coppery/golden shades as I find these bring out blue eyes. They also really remind me of autumn. The shadow I have been using all over my lid recently has been Max Factor mono effect eye shadow in golden bronze. This is such a gorgeous shimmery shadow. I put a tiny bit of Hoola Bronzer in my crease to add some definition to my eye shadow. I want the main focus of my eyes to be the golden shimmer, so I keep my eyeliner simple. I go in with Soap and Glory Super Cat liner and line my upper lash line to make my lashes look thicker and longer. For mascara I'm never really to picky with my mascara so I usually just pull out one that take's my fancy on that particular day. However recently I've been using Smashbox's full exposure mascara and I love it!
BROWS-
For my brows I don't do anything fancy. I simply fill them in with Benefit's Goof Proof brow pencil. I've spoken about this before and already given it my praises. To set them I use MAC prolong wear brow gel. This allows my brows to stay in shape all day.
LIPS-
This is my favourite part of my whole makeup routine. If you're into makeup you have most likely heard of Rimmel London Kate Moss 107. I absolutely love this lip colour, it's a deep berry shade and makes me feel so frickin' autumnal and very excited for Christmas. Although once this has smudged, it instantly becomes an awful makeup day.
That's my Autumn Make-up Routine. What shade of lipstick are you currently loving?
