Fall Makeup in 3 Easy Steps

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

fallIf you want to switch up your summer makeup for fall without looking too dramatic, here is the best way to achieve this look in 3 easy steps from my San Antonio makeup service experience.

1. To create a subtle smoky eye for fall, try using a plum or lilac shade. You can also line your eyes with this shade using contour makeup brush, and smudge the eyeliner slightly for the smoky effect.
2. Use a lighter lip color, like apricot or nude pink, in a sheer shade for a sweet and healthy glow.
3. Even though the fall often calls for darker makeup, use a lighter foundation, like a mineral makeup powder foundation or a tinted moisturizer, to let your natural beauty shine through. It is still helpful to dust with a light bronzer for a fresh look to your face!

  • fallTry matte foundation for a flawless finish.
  • Wear matte red lipstick to complete your polished fall look.
  • To mix it up, try fuchsia lips with a matte finish.
  • For eyes, try red or blue eyeshadows for some dramatic flair, but always remember to wear a neutral lip color so that you don’t look too overdone.
  • When you are playing up your eye makeup, try matte nude lips to give a subtle finish. The best way to do this is to choose a nude lip color and also to powder your lips underneath your lip color to create a matte finish.

These are the hottest looks for fall makeup, but it is always best to focus on one feature at a time so that you do not look too overdone. Fall is the time to be beautiful!

Apply the iridescent storm blue to your entire eyelid, and use the deep indigo to lightly shade in your crease. You can finish by highlighting and blending in your entire eye makeup look with a light cream or pearl color up to your brow bone.
