Makeup post: Fall trends

With the Fall season just hitting, it's time to dress warm, and change up our makeup colours!
If you haven't already, let's take out the warm colours, browns, blacks, and you know, the new black of this year, ORANGE!

Yeah that's right, orange is the new black of the year, so besides the brown eye shadows and red lips, don't be afraid to pull out that orange eyeshadow (which I have done below), and orangey red lipstick.

What do I have in this look? 1) A matte complexion 2) Warm eyeshadow colours (yellow, orange, brown) 3) Matte red lips 4) Full, strong brows 5) Contoured cheeks

1) Ok, it's fall time, so time to put away your JLo Glow, and put on your matte face! Well, technically makeup shouldn't have any rules, and you can go do your glow if that's your thang I guess. 

But, I'm just telling you this year's trends ... So I put away my Nars Sheer Glow foundation, and took out my Nars Sheer MATTE foundation instead

Sorry for my oily forehead, it seems to have unfortunately taken away from the matte affect, forgive me. 

2) So carrying on, I combined eyeshadows from Mac in Gesso (yellow), Makeup Forever no.18 (orange), and Urban Decay from Naked palette 2 (brown). And surprise surprise, yess, they are all MATTE finishes as well!! I used the yellow and orange all over my eyelid, these colours were pretty much chosen to resemble the fall leaves falling off our trees. (surprise surprise) I used the brown all over my top lid and crease to create that more wide eyed look. 

3) For my lips, I'm using Stila's liquid lipstick in #10, aka Beso. This is one of the best and long lasting lipsticks that actually stay without staining and is a pain in an ass to remove. Nope, once it becomes matte, it becomes kiss proof. Next time you drop by a Sephora or something, try putting it on, allow it 30 seconds to dry, and then kiss your hand. I guarantee nothing is going to transfer over. So I guess it's boyfriend friendly too. The only thing you have to make sure is to not get it wet, so I probably won't guarantee a happy ending if your kiss is too wet........ haha anyways moving on...

4) As usual, for my eyebrows, I'm using Anastasia's brow wiz twistable pencil in Ash Brown to fill in and shape my brows. To set, I used the tinted brow gel in Brunette just to keep all my eyebrows in place, and so the colour does not get wiped off so easily. Using that mascara wand in the brow gel will also help to groom and comb down the fine hairs.

5) Lastly, on the contour of my cheeks, I used my favourite go to bronzer that I use all year long. It is the Nars bronzer in Laguna. It generally is matte, but it has a few signs of sparkles if you play with it on the back of your hand. But once it's applied on to your face, you really don't see it anymore.

This is my current everyday look for the fall, of course once in a while i'll be lazy and just use neutral browns on my eyes, or darker berry colours instead of bright reds on my lips.

I hope you guys enjoyed this simple look. 

Stay tuned next week, I'll be doing a look inspired by Kpop star Ji Eun from Secret for her new solo music video. 

Let me know how you liked it, and what other looks you want to see!
