Autumn Makeup | My Top Ten Favourites

Now that Halloween is over and November has just begun, and Christmas is approaching and we are well into the season of Autumn. It is my favourite month as all of the leaves are falling from the tree and it makes the world look like another beautiful picture. I also love Autumn as all of the clothes and makeup looks are so pretty and so I thought that I would write about my top ten favourite makeup items for the Autumn.

So here are my top ten items of makeup that I have been loving this Autumn. (I put the eyelash curlers and mascara into one because the curlers aren't really makeup). I have mostly been wearing more daring and darker colours because I see autumn as the season to wear darker colours and I have to say - I like these colours more than the summer colours such as pinks and oranges which were my favourite colours to wear this summer.

The Foundation that I have been loving this autumn is the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation. This is a great foundation as it isn't a really dewy foundation which is the look that I have been loving this Autumn - matte. It gives a very good amount of coverage and it is the foundation that I go to along with the Bare Minerals Loose powder foundation. It has an SPF 18 which is still very important in the autumn months as the sun still comes out a lot  and it is really bad for your skin!

This is the Body Shop Honey Bronzer in shade '02'. This is a stunning bronzer for blonde haired girls as it is very natural and you can build it up depending on how bronzed you want to look. it is great for contouring which is what I love to do and really brings out your cheekbones. I absolutely love this product, as you can tell going by the fact I am about to hit pan on it, and it is my go to bronzer this autumn.

On my lips, this autumn, I have been a bit more daring and have gone for darker lips, using colours such as dark purples, reds and pinks. This is the Collection Work the Colour Lip Butter Crayon in the Colour Perfect Plum 4. This is one of my favourite lip products I have ever used; it is very pigmented so it stays on for a long, long time, the colour is amazing and it so moisturising - I never have to put a lip balm on after using this which I sometimes have to do with other lip products. This may not be everybody's cup of tea as you have to be quite brave to wear it but I love it for both daytime and night time.

If you want to go for a but more of a natural lip but still have a bit of colour on your lips, this lipstick by Artistry in the shade Rose Glisten is perfect. If I'm honest, I had never heard of the brand before so I am not sure if it has been discontinued, but I found it in my Mum's makeup drawer and I thought it was such a beautiful colour and I have been wearing it a lot this autumn and have been loving it! 

This blush is the Rimmel Powder Blush in Pink Rose. This is such lovely darker blush which I only tend to wear in the Autumn/Winter season. I think is such a subtle yet beautiful blush and would look stunning with a darker lip. It is very pigmented so it stayed on your face for a very long time. It also has a bit of a shimmer to it so it gives a bit of a natural highlight. I love this blush however I am not sure whether this has been discontinued as I have had it for a long time.

 For my eyes at the moment, I have been loving the Seventeen Limited Edition eye shadow palette. I am obsessed with this palette because it has the most beautiful eye shadow colours and they are great for looks with dark lips. There are so many looks that you can create with the six colours. I love the bottom left colour which is a champagne colour and is and the colour above is great for highlighting the brow bone and other areas to highlight. There are also the beautiful purple colours which combine together to make a beautiful smokey eye!

I have also been loving the Bare Minerals Original Foundation in Fairly Light which is a loose powder foundation. It gives your skin such a glow and give a great amount of coverage. So much so that I have sometimes gone without using concealer under my eyes! It is quite a dewy foundation so I use the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder to set my makeup and keep it looking matte which is the look I am going for this autumn. My powder is in the shade Peach Glow / 03. It's also really good if you have a darker foundation and you want to make it suit you skin tone or vice versa - so I love this combination!

I have been loving the Rimmel Glam Eyes mascara at the moment with my eyelash curlers and I have found that I get the longest and most separated lashes and I love it! I think that the Glam Eyes mascara that I have been using is discontinued but I have seen other Rimmel Glam eyes mascaras in the Drug stores. I tend not to fill in my brows, but when I do, I have been using the Max factor eye shadow in Terra Firma and it gives you lovely defined brows. This autumn I have gone for quite natural brows, so to do this I have been adding little amounts of the powder at a time and really brushing it in to the brow where there is less colour using a small brush - angled eye shadow brushed work the best but so do small eye shadow brushes.

I really hope that this has given an insight to what I have been loving this autumn and how to create some beautiful make up looks.
