How to Wear Fall Ready Makeup By Lee Ann Burdette-Buttery ?

Answer 1

As the end of summer is quickly approaching, it’s time to update not only our wardrobe to suit the cooler weather, but our makeup as well. So check out the latest makeup trends so you can celebrate the autumn season in style.

Base

Start with a good foundation that matches your skin tone exactly and finish with a translucent powder. Now that the temperature outside is dropping, you don’t need to stick with just a tinted moisturizer. For better coverage and a more even-looking complexion, try a liquid foundation or mousse formula. But prior to foundation application, use a primer to ensure your makeup lasts longer and counteracts any oil or dryness.

Fall Flush

Sure, you may not be sunbathing in the autumn season, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t maintain that sun-kissed glow. So add a little warmth to your look and opt for an illuminating bronzer such as NARS Bronzing Powder ($32). Next, dust a little blush on the apples of your cheeks- for porcelain to ivory skin tones, try a peach shade of blush and for medium to olive complexions, try a terracotta shade of blush or even use a deeper shade of bronzer as a blush. For dark skin tones, opt for a brick or berry color.

Eyes

Celebrate Fall with warmer eye shadow colors. For a base shade, sweep a pale gold or warm beige all over your lid. Follow with a deeper shade of gold on the balls of your eyelids, then apply a very deep brown shadow on the outer edge of the eye for a smokier effect. Next, apply a dark brown eyeliner on the upper and lower lash lines and with a cotton swap, gently smudge the liner to enhance the smoky look. Finish with a few coats of mascara.

Lips

For a daytime look, apply a soft pink or apricot lipstick for a pale complexion, a rose or coral lip color for medium to olive skin tones and burgundy or berry for dark complexions. Feeling gutsy? Regardless of your skin tone, try sporting a wine shade of lipstick. But if that’s too bold, then opt for a lip stain instead. Simply apply a lipstick and blot a couple of times to leave your lips with a beautiful wine stain.

With these makeup tips, you’re bound to look Fall-ready Fabulous!
