Makeup Look: Everyday Autumn.
With a seriously strained budget of recent due to paid internship times (painful, but necessary), I've not been able to update my A/W makeup bag as much as I would have liked, so it seems to be the same products that I've been reaching for in this past Autumn month or so, most of which are featured in this make-up look.
Base my current base of choice is my Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation, featured and heavily raved about in my September Favourites post. A true all-rounder, lightish coverage but easily buildable for those 'what-the-hell-is-my-skin-doing' type days with a slightly more matte finish that I sometimes prefer in for winter but still with the subtle that I can't go without. It's going to take something magical to stop me from re-purchasing this over and over again.
Cheeks I've barely touched anything else recently other than the Bobbi Brown Blush in shade 'Nectar' which is perfect for giving that much desired berry toned flush for the colder months. Huuuuge fan of this.
Eyes Most unoriginal choice ever I'm afraid, the crazed over, adored and hyped more than Cara Delevigne's brows, Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo in 'On and On Bronze'. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it- it's just too perfect, a one stop swipe of this = perfect autumn eye. My only addition to this was a quick contour of the eye with MAC eyeshadow in 'Corduroy' which is ideal for a subtle crease definition and a very standard flick of my Maybelline Gel Liner. I've actually reached for this less recently- and have found that using my best friend-product Benefit Brow Zings is actually really good as a liner for some subtle and smokey definition of the outer corner (as well as being out of this world for brows, as per). My mascara, Benefit They're Real can't go without a mention either- it's great.
Lips Finally, for a daytime lip- it couldn't be anything other than a Revlon Lip Butter could it? This shade in 'Sugar Plum' is one of my most worn Autumn lips and totally necessary as my lips are so sore and dry at the moment that lipsticks, unless sincerely moisturising are a bit off of my makeup radar at the moment.
Have you tried any of these products? What are your Autumn makeup staples? (Ears are open for any recommendations).
