Back in July, I did a little post about summer makeup. Now that the weather is starting to cool off (even if it has been VERY fickle), I thought it was probably time to switch it up for fall! Time to pack up my shimmer brick (except for special occasions) and go for a more matte look!
First of all, it is SUPER important to moisturize in the cold weather. I am talking eye cream and moisturizer morning and night. Not only will your skin feel a lot better, but you will get a head start in the fight against wrinkles! All of my favorite products are from Origins, but I swear by these two in particular:
I put this on every morning before my makeup - helps with those black circles and the puffiness. If you use an under-eye concealer, you can blend it with that, or just apply directly!
Tip: Keep this in the fridge - the coolness will really help de-puff your eyes in the morning!
This stuff is great for morning and night! Put it on before your makeup, and wait till its dry to apply your foundation.
Tip: If you aren't into foundation, or are going for a more natural look, wait until it is "dewey," not dry, and then swirl on your powder. It will help it last longer!
Now, on to the fun stuff!
My favorite new tool is on the Bobbi Brown website: Pretty Powerful Looks. It basically shows you a bunch of makeup "looks" on a bunch of different women, and shows you exactly how to replicate them.
While buying makeup online can be a little scary sometimes, this is the way to go if you are going to do it! Plus, if you buy from Nordstrom, you get free shipping and returns.
This time, I went with the "Victoria." I got the eyeshadow (Bone and Slate) and gel eyeliner - I'm sticking with my MAC powder & blush- which I would highly recommend!
(Fun fact: Kate Middleton wore Slate eyeshadow on her wedding day!)
Now it's your turn to pick out your new look for the fall!
