Autumn Chills

Whenever I think of make up for autumn, I always think of gorgeous dark lips, along with gradient brown eye shadows in representation of the gloomy atmosphere the season bring. So to celebrate the last month of autumn, I decided to put together a look which I believe is suitable to wear for the season!

During this season, I've been really obsessed with plum coloured lips. The Mac Cosmetics lipstick in the colour Rebel, I believe, is the perfect shade to wear for autumn. Though it is quite a dark shade, the pink tone of it adds that little girly touch to it. As I have mentioned before in my Classic Red post (click here to go to post), with a bold lip colour, you want to go with a more subtle eye shadow in order to avoid the attention being away from the lips. So to complement with this specific lip colour, I decided to go for an ombre effect on the eyes by darkening up the outer corners of my eyes with a black eye shadow, while using a brown colour for the crease and shimmery gold for the lids. 

Despite the fact that this look may look quite heavy, I honestly believe that you can wear it on a casual outing on a nice autumn day. I feel that when it comes to winter or autumn, it's okay to wear heavier make up because not only does it suit the atmosphere, but you won't need to worry about it melting off from your sweat, which is always a problem in summer!
