FOTD (Face Of The Day): Autumnal Make Up

Today felt like a true Autumn day. Beautiful sunshine and a mild, cool breeze in the air. I went out briefly today so the tone of my make up today is quite casual. I paired a smokey brown eye with defined but muted lips.

Make Up Revolution Eye Primer has been a staple in my cosmetic bag for so long now. This one single tube has lasted me a very long time and the performance of this product has never faltered. Eye primer locks in your eye make up, giving it great staying power in all weathers so it's well worth the investment (this one is actually very affordable!).

The Urban Decay NAKED SMOKY Palette is a must-have for its beautiful range of neutral smoky tones in multiple finishes.

For a casual, neutral lid colour, I chose Combust. A velvety soft light toned matte brown.

I blended a warm bronze shade (Radar) combined with a matte dark brown (Whiskey) into the crease. I started with Radar, using this to build warmth and then applied Whiskey to the outer edge for deep definition. I used Whiskey along the lower lash line and as a brow framing shade to complete the look.

One of my all time favourite eyeliners are the Collection Fast Stroke liquid liners. Perfect for creating thick or thin wings along the eyes. Thicker wings suit my bigger eyes and are more my style so I chose a thicker style wing for this look.

This Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde mascara finished off the look with its lengthening and volumising properties. I will miss this tube once it's finished (this was a limited edition release) but I can't wait to try more Bourjois mascaras!

Now the seasons are changing, I'm reaching for a more long lasting, higher coverage base make up. I first applied some SPF 15 moisturiser to protect my skin since this base is SPF free.

Rimmel's Stay Matte Foundation is a smooth, full coverage, matte finish foundation that lasts all day. I blended this over my skin with my fingers.
