Beauty Look | Everyday Fall Makeup Look


This is my go-to Makeup look. A perfectly neutral look for everyday. Yes I know, it is a lot of products to create a neutral look, but you can pick and choose what works for you. For me, I can do this look pretty fast and it does come across soft and diffused.

Take a look at the beauty product breakdown below:

FACE 

  • Base: Giorgio Armani Face Crema Nuda 01 as a Base
  • Foundation: Giorgio Armani Luminessence CC Cream Shade 6
  • Blush: Giorgio Armani Blush 506
  • Bronzer: Giorgio Armani 400
  • Glow/Highlight: MAC Skinfinish in Candlelight

EYES 

  • Crease: Coastal Scents 28 Shade Neutral Palette in Warm Brown
  • Lids: MAC Coppering & Expensive Pink with Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks in Cocoa and Copper
  • Liner: Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner + Eye Drama Pencil Liner
  • Mascara: Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara
LIPS

  • Lipstick: Giorgio Armani Rouge D'Armani 500

It's a fast look to put together! The Laura Mercier Caviar sticks are so easy to use and the products work beautifully together! Feel free to comment, share and try this look out yourself :)

Beauty Tip | Bright Eyes with a Pop of Colour!!



There is one rule to Makeup...Make your own rules! There are literally a million different ways to do the same look and the same goes for the different ways you can wear makeup.

What can be popular one season, is completely wrong the next season. There was a time where I would match my eye makeup to the outfit I was wearing. The look would be a mix of tone-on-tone shades, worn together with a very cool gradient effect. For added drama, I would wear it with a winged liner.

Lately, I have moved towards a bright pop of colour under the lower lash line, while keeping the eye look pretty neutral. This way I get the best of both worlds, a soft glam look with a pop of colour.

Here a few looks I have done this year where I used this pop of colour technique, check them out below:

Just some of my favourite looks with a pop of colour. It's so easy to do, you can use eye liners or shadows and create something thin and soft to super dramatic! Try it out for the next big night out :)
