Autumn Inspired Makeup Look

Don't worry I'm not going to ramble on about how much I love Autumn...again! :) But I did want to share a makeup look I wore last week which was inspired by Autumn colours.

 

I recently received MAC's Rebel lipstick in a beauty swap with a fellow blogger and I literally jumped for joy when I saw it! It's been on my wishlist for so long and I can finally wear it. For those of you that aren't familiar, it's a hugely popular shade for this time of year, in the packaging it looks to be a deep, dark purple which looks a bit scary but once applied it's a lighter almost pink toned plum shade that literally screams Autumn :)

 

 

I love experimenting with statement lip colours so I came up with this makeup look using my much loved Rebel and paired it with a pop of emerald green. Hope you like it!

 

 

 

 

Firstly, I applied my base as normal (I've really been loving Max Factor's new whipped crème foundation, definitely worth a try if you have oily skin!) I also contoured slightly and added a neutral blush so as not to take attention away from the lips and eyes.

 

I then applied a concealer as an eyeshadow base and packed on a light matte cream shade all over my lid.

 

I blended a small amount of soft matte brown through the crease to add some definition, then applied a shimmery white shade to my inner corner as a highlight.

 

I used a Body Shop eyeliner in emerald green under my lower lash line to use as a base and then with a pencil brush applied a shimmery green eyeshadow over it. I blended it out very slightly to avoid a harsh line.

 

I added mascara and voila! Eyes done :)

 

I used a lip balm on my lips then rubbed them with a cotton bud to remove any dry skin. Rebel isn't totally matte but it's close to it, so it could be a little bit drying on the lips. Once my lips were nice and smooth I applied the lipstick!

 

Such a simple look but I love plum and emerald green together :)
