My Go-to Fall Lip Colours

Morning lovelies!

 

Sorry it’s been a couple of days since my last post, I have been mega busy with work and absolutely shattered by the time I get home! But I promise I will try and keep up-to-date with my posts. I'm thinking about doing lots of posts this weekend so I can upload them on a regular basis, what do you guys think?

Anyways, lets get started! So I always love a nude lip, but for fall I like to go darker. So my ultimate go-to lip products for fall are obviously going to be a nude and some sort of darker colour. My two favourites that I have been sporting lately are MAC’s Pro Longwear Lip Cream in ‘Overtime’ and Collection 2000’s Volume Sensation in ‘Plum Perfection’. Plum Perfection is a beautiful deep berry colour which is ideal for Fall and Overtime is a luscious creamy pale pink.

 

The swatch on the left is Plum Perfection and the swatch on the right is Overtime. Excuse my lack of tan, I haven’t fake tanned in TWO WEEKS!!

 

Need to give myself a manicure A-SAP!

Overtime is more of a mattifying lipstick but has a really creamy base so doesn’t dry out my lips.

Plum Perfection is a mattifying lipstick too, the colour lasts ages! 

 

Excuse my hair in both pics, I took these this morning on the way to work ha! What colour do you prefer? Overtime or Plum Perfection? Also, let me know what your favourite fall lippies are in the comments below : )

An Autumn Day...

I always like to change my makeup look, especially when the seasons change. I prefer light colours in the summer and darker colours in the winter for a more dramatic look. Although in the photo below I don't actually have a dark lip, I would like to start sporting one for the fall ;)

 

 

 

My go to products are as follows:

Urban Decay's Naked Palette - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this palette. I honestly use it everyday. I like to use the shade 'buck' to fill in my brows, and 'virgin' as a highlighter.

 

This foundation is brilliant for my skin. I tend to have a slightly paler complexion in the winter time so I like to stick to light shades like 'Ivory'.

 

I love Clinique lipsticks. I actually got the one I use frequently as a freebie because I bought 2 products. I love the colour 'Rosette', and it looks that extra bit gorgeous with a slick of Model Co lipgloss in 'Berry Pink' on top!

 

I have only recently stopped using this product as my eyeliner. I have used it in the photo at the beginning of this post, but I now find that I prefer to use the dark colours from my urban decay palette as eyeliner for my top eyelids because I find it better to apply.

 

This mascara doesn't need justification. Its brilliant. Get it.

 

I got this Chanel duo for my birthday and adore the colours. The duo is in 'misty soft' and is a lovely combination of a lilac shade and a plum colour...beautiful! I use the lighter lilac shade on my lid and the plum shade in the crease of my eyelid and blend together.

 

What is your go to makeup look for the fall? Let me know in the comments below : )

My Love for Makeup...

This sounds a bit weird, but I can honestly say that make-up is like a hobby for me. Ever since I was allowed to start wearing make-up, I have loved to experiment with different colours and looks. 

However, I have made some huge make-up no-nos in the past, but I think that you need to make these mistakes in order to teach yourself well. 

MAC has always been a favourite of mine, but I love Clinique and other upper-end brands. Don't get me wrong though, I love your everyday makeup brands too! I only use Rimmel or Maybeline foundation because I feel that they are the best for my skin and they don't break the bank.

I've learned that blending is key...and you can never go wrong with a classic cat-eye...

But it's also fun to experiment with more vibrant colours. The blending in the photo below isn't that great but hey, that's all a part of the learning experience!

Whats your favourite make-up look? Natural or Glam? There's so many different looks you can achieve if you have the confidence to experiment. 

So, go for it girls!
