Autumn: Makeup

So fall has rolled again this time of year is more than just holidays and cold weather. It's also  Birthday month for my family. September is not only the month of my birthday, the birthdays of most of my close family. Then October and November.

So I'd like to change up my makeup routine a little bit to fit the season.
Here's a few looks I'd like to experiment.

Okay so most of these looks won't match my skin tone per say but I can experiment and come up with looks inspired by these. As i get older I mover and more away from dark heavy makeup because I want to have a smoky eye without it being all black. I like color variations. I think light colors mixed with a hint of dark colors still portrays my dark style but more flattering to my skin tone.

White, black, and grey is a good combination for me because it's not just all black heavy eyeliner. It's three colors blended to create a look. Yet still fits my style. This look can be kind of tricky sometimes and takes practice to become even and flatterings. It's always good to use a primer other than foundation with all looks to make it last longer. If you do not have a primer I suggest making one from honey and moisterizer. It's cheaper and better for your skin.

Always face your face thoroughly before applying makeup. It helps it to stay on longer, prevent breakouts, and makeup meltdowns.

Remember there's always youtube tutorials to help you to acheive the looks you want with steps to follow and things you may want to add to your makeup collection to complete these looks properly.
