Easy to do, wearable Autumn make up

Last year I posted something similar but only mentioning my favourite Autumn lip products. This year I'm giving you my complete wearable every day make up favourites for Autumn.

Starting with the all important skin. Doesn't matter how lovely your eyeshadow or lip colour is, if your skin isn't looking good neither will your finished look.

With central heating and generally colder weather on it's way you need to keep your skin well hydrated, whilst also giving you some coverage. My current favourite is the Body Shop BB Cream mixed with a little Illamasqua Skin Base just for some extra coverage around the middle part of my face. I always start blending from the front panel of my face outwards so that then you're not left with a line around your jaw.

With your summer  tan probably fading fast you still want to look perky and healthy so for this I use the amazing watercolour blush by Daniel Sandler, these will stay put all day and also give your cheeks a little colour and a nice sheen. My favourite shade has to be Cherub. This is a beautiful pink, not too bright and I find suits most complections.

 Finish the skin off by dusting some Rimmel Natural Bronzer lightly over where the sun would naturally hit. Remember that as this is an Autumn look choose a shade that's only one darker than your natural skin colour.

For eyes I am loving MAC's eyeshadow in Antiqued. This is a really nice rusty, warm brown colour and a little goes a long way for an everyday look as it is a little shimmery. Beautiful on green and blue eyes. Smudge some MAC eyeliner kohl pencil in Coffee along your outer lower lashes to create a little more definition and then a couple of coats of any black mascara.






 Brows is something I cannot skip and I only have one make up choice when it comes to them. It's my trusty HD Brow palette in the shade Foxy - all the way. Again, less is more for a daytime look. Try and create a natural looking brow, not overly drawn-on.





Now for lip colour, I had to include an old favourite from last year, yes I have gone out and bought this again. It's the Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie. Hydrating and a buildable colour, Perfect!
