Hello everyone, presenting another best on YouTube make-up blog post. Autumn is already here (at least in UK with all the leaves starting to fall) and YouTube is flooding with the seasons make up looks from various make-up artists and bloggers.
For some reason I do not know why make-up for Autumn season has always been associated to shades of reds and berry like dark red, maroon, burgundy, dark orange and various other related shades. But this year I am seeing bloggers and make-up brands pushing forward other subtle colours as well.
Check out the top 3 make-up looks I have liked so far and would be great for an Autumn night out/day.
1. Autumn Ombré By Michelle Phan
This video dates back to 2013 but it came up in my recommended list. The blackish dark red lips look just wow. If you are not sure you could apply such a bold colour on your lips, a nude colour would be just perfect.
What I Learnt:
1. Applying rose gold liner instead of white liner on lower eye waterline brightens the colour of your eyes.
2. Applying pencil liner instead of liquid liner gives a more softer look.
Substitutes:
1. If you don't have a brow kit for filling your eyebrows, a pencil or eye-shadow matching your eyebrow colour would also work.
2. If you don't have a navy blue colour eye shadow, no worries, you can use a dark purple or dark green colour as a substitute.
3. If you are going out to eat, avoid applying the blue eye-shadow on your lips. Having lipsticks on your lips while eating is already not good and on top of that if you apply a powder eye-shadow(even if you blend is nicely) it would be not such a great idea. Do avoid it while eating.
2. Burberry Runway Make-Up Tutorial: How to Create the Autumn/Winter 2015 Look By Burberry's Make-Up Artistic Consultant Wendy Rowe
This look is presented by make-up brand Burberry and it compliments their AW2015 collection. A sleek chic look, you can pull this off for office or formal lunch/dinner.What I Learnt:
1. Applying contour to eye socket enhances the depth of eye and gives a very natural shadow.
2. Dotting the lower lash line with Kajal pencil/liner instead of drawing a line helps in getting a more softer look and easily smudges with a brush/cotton bud to give the smokey eye effect.
3. Setting Kohl pencil line with eye-shadow will make sure the colour doesn't smudge and stays on longer.
Substitutes:
1. If you don't have a face contour palette you can try using creamy brown eye-liner or light brown lipstick under the cheekbone and eye socket for contouring to give a soft finish. You can also use brown eye-shadow or non shimmery bronzer for same. Note, powders give a different effect than creamy combinations.
2. If you don't own a nude lipstick try a mix of light pink & brown depending on your skin tone.
3. Everyday Fall Makeup Tutorial 2015! By GettingPretty
A simple everyday easy to apply make up look! This look is best for any day out occasion like shopping, coffee with friends or even a date if you are running late or like to keep your make-up minimal.
What I Learnt:
1. Applying concealer first to dark/red spots and then applying foundation to the rest of the face will help in maintaining the brightness of concealer.
Substitutes:
1. If you don't have brow gel to set the eyebrows after you have filled them, just use Vaseline instead. Rub very little amount of Vaseline between your fingers and very lightly press it on your eyebrows.
Let me know which one is your favourite and if you find another lovely autumn look on YouTube.
