The falling leaves, the pumpkins, the smell of chestnuts... all of them indicators of the coming autumn, but your skin also feels the change of the season.
You need to change your daily hydrating cream, and your likes for make-up too. So my every day make-up routine has become:
FACE:
Foundation:
I like to use Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation from Bourjois in 83 sable fondu.
It feels extra comfortable during all day.
The best point for me is that it has a nice powder finish that doesn't require any application of loose powder, therefore it saves time, and having a time-saver early in the morning, means I can add those few minutes to my sleep instead of my make-up.
Also, I am not a pro-matt foundation because I have always found matt foundations to leave the face all cracky and "dry", of course, for people with oily skin it must feel nice, but for me, I am a normal to combination skin type, feeling the skin dry is very unpleasant. However this mouse foundation feels extreamly soft on the skin, and I never get that cracky finish.
Another good point is the blending, it comes with a brush (the foundation came with the brush, now you have to buy it separately)... This small brush works miracles, you put the tip of the brush in the foundation pot, touching gently the mousse, then applying it in small circles to the face obtaining a very natural finish.
I would say it has a medium coverage, it covers redness and pimples, but again it depends on how much you want it to cover, I always go for the natural finish, and I aply a small amount well blended with the brush.
Blusher:
Love the shade Pink Cachemire from the Italian brand Deborah.
It has a powdery finish that combines very well with the foundation, the warm rosy pink is perfect to warm up the slowly-getting-colder autumn days.
EYES:
Eyeshadow:
Sfumato Eyes Shadow in S17 from Une.
If I feel like wearing eyeshadow, I use this product. First of all I have to say that the Une brand has shades that combine very well with all skin tones, the shade I use is a matt earthy grey, very nice to do a slight smoky effect. It looks very dark but it is a soft powder that when applied the colour adds up, so you can make it either subtle or dramatic, as you wish. I am loving more and more this brand.
Mascara:
Volumizer Mascara from Bourjois in 01 Noir maximizer.
I tried this mascara a month a go when it just came out, and I love it. It is perfect for me, because it can either be subtle with step 1 or very dramatic with step 2. Many times I don't wear eyeshadow, but I always, always, always wear mascara. During the day I find step 1 enough for going off to work. At night, step 2 creates a really dramatic effect. A not-so-good point in step 2 is that I always end up combing my lashes to seperate them, because I normally put 2 or 3 coats of mascara on my upper lashes, and the formula clumps them up. But since I mostly use it as a daytime mascara, I don't have to many chances to complain.
LIPS:
Gloss:
Effet 3D Max from Bourjois in 62 Rose gold.
Juicy shinny lips, brightens up the face. This gloss feels very comfortable, it has great shine. I absoloutly love, love, love these glosses, because they don't feel heavy on the lips at all but have all the shine and plumping visual effect a gloss should have and hydrates my lips. This pink with golden shimmers combines perfectly with the blush.
Here you have a natural make-up look for these autumn days
