Autumn is finally here! And you know what that means? A bold lip and cosy pyjamas; my kind of heaven. Today I thought I would show you what sort of makeup look I like to wear at this time of year and I thought it would also be a great opportunity to tell you about some of the products I've been reaching for a lot recently.

For this makeup look I have included some classic 'Autumn Makeup' trends but adapted it so that anyone can wear this look - even if a bold lip isn't your thing!



For the base I used the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation which I have been loving recently because it gives great coverage. I also used the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer under the eyes and on any spots or blemishes that I have.

It will be no surprise to you that for brows I used Mac Omega Eyeshadow and my Real Techniques Brow Brush. (If you want to know more read my September Beauty Favourites post).

For the eyes I used Mac Sketch Eyeshadow - one of my all time favourite eyeshadows for this time of year. With the shade Naked 2 from the Naked Basics Palette in the crease to soften the look and make it more appropriate for day time. Then I used my favourite eyeliner, Collection Extreme 24hr Felt tip Liner to create a 'cat-flick' and make the lashes look a lot fuller. The mascara I used was Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara. Lastly, I took the two eyeshadows I used and lined my waterline to bring the look together.

The blush I used was MUA 'Bubblegum' Blush which I think is great for this look because it adds a natural flush to the cheeks. To contour I used the Avon Glow Bronzer in the hollows of my cheek bones, across the forehead, jaw line and down the neck.

Lastly (but by far my favourite) I applied the MUA Matte Lipstick in the shade 'Berry' to add a touch of Autumn to the look. In stick form this lipstick does look a little scary but when applied it gives a lovely 'berry' (as the name suggests!) shade to the lips. What's great is that you can build up the colour so if you want to go for a subtle day-time look you don't have to apply very much and it's only £1 from Superdrug!

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and have been inspired to create this look yourself! Remember to follow my new twitter account @etc_chloe where you can tweet me pictures of the look you tried out!
