One of the things I love about the change of seasons is the accompanying style changes. I think one of the reasons I love Autumn is that I enjoy breaking out the cozy sweaters. It also reminds me of that excitement and hopefulness at the beginning of a new school year. But since I live in Southern California and I'm not in school anymore, I have to find other substitutes. The best way to bring the spirit of fall into my life is to change my makeup. I love the colors of Autumn makeup, the jewel tones, the berries, the soft greys...
So, to celebrate, here are the Autumn makeup trends I'm most looking forward to:
- Dark (but not Goth) lips. Think burgundies, deep reds, rich berries, deep magentas...
They can be satiny, matte, or glossy. I love slightly glossy lips because I think it adds more dimension.
- Grey lids. I like matte and shimmery. A lighter grey looks good during the day and a darker grey for the evening, especially with shimmer. It's an especially good look for green eyes.
- Shimmery bronze and brown lids. I love shimmer. Bronze is one of those shades I think of as universally flattering when done right.
- Olive green liner or shadow. Love the olives and the khakis right now!
- Plums. If you have green eyes, like me, and you really want them to pop, dust a medium grey matte shadow on your lids, thin plum line at the base of the lashes, then some plum mascara (Diorshow has one!). To amp it up some more, add a glossy berry-colored lip.
