Whenever a change of season happens, I usually make a few changes in my makeup routine too. Whether it be tones, techniques or products - I love switching things up - and so today I thought I'd share a few actual items that I've found myself reaching for even more so recently - and can definitely see that being the case over the next few months too, with Autumn now in full swing...
CYO WHEN THE SUN DON'T SHINE BRONZING POWDER IN 'FAIR' - You can't go wrong with a bit of bronzer when the weather starts to cool and this one from CYO has been my fave for a while now. It's completely matte (always my preferred bronzer formula) and just the perfect colour for me. It's not too deep so works well for my paler skin-tone and the undertone isn't overly orangey and so looks more natural-ish on the skin too. The formulation is also super easy to blend and buff into the skin and is also not too pigmented and so deposits colour well, yet allows for control over how much you apply - so never leaves you looking Tango-ed. Winner!
THE BALM MARY-LOU MANIZER LUMINIZER - Highlighter is a must all year round, but as soon as Autumn starts, I begin to really enjoy warm, golden tones in my glow-givers. I guess with Christmas on the horizon, I'm all about wearing all the golds and champagnes and this highlighter from theBalm is a great base level-type product for just that. It's not overly gold, gold; but it's definitely got that undertone there and so works great for Autumn, when you perhaps want to start introducing those hues into your makeup routine, ready to really amp things up as we head into Winter.
SOPH X REVOLUTION EYESHADOW PALETTE - Pretty much every eyeshadow palette in my collection can be utilised in some way for Autumn, but if I had to pick just one that perhaps has the most ideal colours and tones for this time of year - I think it would have to be this one. Yep, this old beaut - the original Soph eyeshadow palette that I fell in love with over a year ago now and still now, is one of my favourite offerings I have in my stash. I love it all year round, but there's definitely a lot of colours in there that just scream 'Autumnal' to me. A tonne of warm tones, all in a mix of super-creamy mattes and really metallic shimmers - what's not to love? If you still haven't added this to your collection - do it, now!
WET 'N' WILD LIQUID CATSUIT MATTE LIPSTICK IN 'BERRY RECOGNIZE' - Moving onto Lips, these are more recent favourites, but with the formula being so awesome and the colours I picked up being so Autumn-appropriate - I thought I just had to throw them in here. 'Missy and Fierce' is a lovely true red; whilst 'Berry Recognize' is a (as you can probably imagine) gorgeous rich berry purple and as I said, the formula of these is just spot-on perfect. They apply onto the lips super glossy, yet soon dry down to a super-matte finish that's completely transfer-proof and does. not. budge. till you say so.
SLEEK MATTE ME LIP CREAM IN 'BIRTHDAY SUIT' - Finally, I just had to add some sort of nude lip in here somewhere and though of course, nudes are great all-year-round, there definitely are some that I feel are especially great at certain times of year - like this one, in Autumn! It's a little deeper and mauve-toned and so for me, just calls out to be worn this time of year...
