Glowing in the Rain...

Hey all!!!

So it's that time of the year again - when the sunshine (the very little that we get) decides to disappear and we're left with miserable, cold, wet and gloomy weather. Funny thing ain't it....Autumn! But that doesn't mean that you can't strut through leaf filled streets looking radiant, glowing and fabulous. This blog will focus on makeup trends and the do's of autumn....stick to these and you'll be hotter than the equator!

One of the hottest makeup looks right now??? The natural, or nude look. What is it - well....exactly what it sounds like. Makeup which makes you look as natural and makeup free as possible. A bit of a cheat - I know! But when it leaves everyone's heads turning, well, what does it matter how you got the look??

So what does this look involve? A flawless complexion, skin coloured lips and plenty of contouring. The perfect everyday look which can easily be varied to suit special occasions: 

*Create your perfect natural complexion with a blend of concealer and foundation

* Defining your eyebrows makes all the difference. And this Autumn, bold eyebrows are a must! Contour them (not to the point where they look drawn on and artificial of course) and leave the rest of your makeup light. . 

* Use the shades of Autumn for your eyes. Golds are not only the classic "safe colours" but they are also classy, sophisticated and so autumn! Be daring as introduce oranges, mustard colours and corals (very frequently seen on the YSL and Dior catwalks) 

* Accentuate and define your eyes with eyeliner. For the day version, use a bit of eyeshadow to create a slight smokey eye. 

* Take it up a notch and use metallic, black and purple to create a smouldering, sensual, sultry, sexy smokey eyes which instantly convert the look into a night time one

* Leave your lips light coloured. Use nude coloured glosses, lipsticks, stains...or even just balm/chapstick to keep them conditioned. 

* Want to add colour to the look? Is the whole nude theme too bland and 'blahh' for you? Ok! Worry not...instead of having nude lips, complete the look with bold lips. Corals, reds and browns are THE autumn colours...so go for one of them. Use a lip liner to line your lips and get that perfect shape. Use the same liner to fill your lips in so that the colour stands out and lasts. Finally use a lipstick or a gloss to add shine to your luscious lips!

* We all love that summer glow, but ladies drop those self tanners and let your skin become more milky white. You will look very chic and vintage sexy, especially with those red smackers! Use bronzer to contour your cheeks and gain a more natural looking glow. Get rid of bright blush and choose more muted metallic colours and satun textures. 

VOILA! The perfect autumn makeup done. Of course its a simple look which, with variations can easily become a night time look. Its simple to do, very stylish, and is seen on catwalks all over the world!
