Fall makeup is a great way to enhance your natural beauty in times of slightly dull, gray and gloomy weather. You can easily do it yourself every day. There are many creative fall makeup ideas according to the latest trends.
General features of autumn makeup
Fall makeup should be applied in such a way that its colors and shades are warm and a little reminiscent of the summer period. It should be as natural as possible and suitable for the features of appearance, style of clothing, eye and hair color.
The nuances of autumn makeup are as follows:
- Minimalism … It is desirable that even after applying all the necessary cosmetics, the face looks as natural as possible. Accordingly, you should not choose too saturated colors. Minimalism is reflected in the fact that you do not need to make clear contours of the eyebrows and lips.
- One accent … In most cases, girls are accustomed to highlighting both their eyes and lips especially clearly. In the autumn makeup, it is necessary to focus on one thing.
- Bright cheeks … When applying autumn makeup, blush of bright, bold shades will look very beautiful. They will allow you to emphasize the cheekbones, make them more expressive, while visually slightly reducing the volume of chubby cheeks. However, the color of the blush itself must be selected based on the natural color of the skin - light, slightly dark or pinkish. For a natural white face, shades of pink are suitable, and for a dark complexion - beige or peach.
- Wet shine … When applying almost any makeup, women strive to ensure that the skin of the face looks matte and does not shine a bit. However, in this case it is just necessary. You need to use a foundation, but it should be applied in the thinnest translucent layer so as not to overlap the natural skin color. It is recommended to completely abandon matte powder. As an exception, it can be used by those girls whose skin turns oily too quickly. However, it should be applied with a very thin, airy layer, using a brush or puff, and not the usual makeup sponge.
- Pearlescent shadows … Autumn eye makeup is important to do in such a way that the emphasis on them really attracts attention. For this, it is recommended to use shadows with a beautiful pearlescent overflow. They are a great alternative to regular black eyeliner. At the same time, pearlescent shadows look very soft. They can be used as a light daily and evening make-up.
- "Metallic" shadows … Shades that have not just pearlescent, but metallic overflow look quite impressive. Especially beautiful are the bronze and silver colors, which brightly emphasize the brown and blue eyes, respectively.
- Emphasis on the upper eyelid … In the process of applying shadows or drawing arrows, it is important to consider that only the upper eyelid should be emphasized and painted. Particular attention should be paid to the outer edge, applying darker and more saturated shades to it. The shadows need to be shaded properly for a subtle smokey ice effect.
- Nude lip tints … If the emphasis is on highlighting the eyes in autumn makeup, then gentle nude tones should be chosen for the lips. In this case, you need to choose not persistent matte lipsticks, but delicate gloss with a light texture. They will help to create a moist glow on the lips, visually increasing them slightly. You can even choose glitters in caramel colors. It is not worth emphasizing the contour of the lips with a colored pencil.
- "Soft" arrows … If you still prefer the arrows to the shadows, then you need to draw them correctly. For the contour, you should not use a clear eyeliner, but a soft eyeliner. The ends of the arrows drawn in pencil must be carefully shaded so that there are no sharp transitions and clear boundaries.
- Natural eyebrows … As already mentioned, tattooing and eyebrow contouring is completely unsuitable for autumn makeup. They should be as natural as possible. It is best to simply comb the hairs and style them using a clear gel brush. The use of shadows or an eyebrow pencil is permissible if there are any pronounced defects and asymmetry of the eyebrows that it is desirable to mask. Some makeup artists insist on fake brow lightening.
- Natural eyelashes … Autumn makeup trends do not involve extended or thickly colored eyelashes. You don't have to use ink. If the eyelashes are naturally too sparse and short, then the mascara must be applied in a thin layer so that the eyelashes do not stick together.
Fall makeup ideas
To look as effective as possible both in everyday life and at important events, you should not be afraid to experiment. Despite the fact that in the classic autumn makeup, the emphasis is not on clear arrows, but on soft shadows, you can try them for an evening look.
New and most popular fall makeup ideas:
- Colored arrows … This is a rather striking option that fully reflects the retro style. Arrows can be drawn with liquid eyeliner of any color. Blue, green, pink and yellow shades look the most catchy. You can use more than one specific color, but combine several tones at once, making smooth transitions. This will make the makeup look much more interesting. To prevent the arrows from looking too sharp, neutral light shadows should be applied to the upper eyelid. In this case, the lips should be painted with a delicate translucent gloss or a thin layer of glossy (in no case matte) lipstick.
- Double arrows … This is a bold makeup idea that will subtly highlight a beautiful evening look. There are several options for drawing double arrows. You can draw two parallel ones, one of which will emphasize the upper eyelid, and the other - the outer edge of the lower. In this case, the ends of the arrows will point in the same direction. You can make one arrow pass clearly on top of the other, and both of them are located on the upper eyelid. In this case, it is advisable to draw the main (lower) contour with a darker color (black, brown or blue). On top of it, you can point a brighter and more catchy arrow of a silver, pink, golden or blue hue. And the last version of this make-up is to bring both eyelids in such a way that one end of the arrows tends a little up, and the other goes down. In all cases, the lips should be nude shades.
- Double shadows … To apply this type of makeup, it is necessary to choose shades of such shades that differ from each other by at least 2 tones. Darker and brighter colors should be applied to the outer edge of the upper eyelid. The inner corner, on the contrary, needs to be lightened. The middle of the upper eyelid is the border between the two shades. It must be carefully shaded to make the transition as smooth as possible. Double shadows are harmoniously combined with soft blue or black arrows drawn with a pencil, not eyeliner. The color of the gloss or lipstick can be chosen arbitrarily depending on the shades of the shadows.
- "Bitten lips" … This non-standard idea came to us from Asian countries, in particular from Japan. The effect of the bitten lips is created by using a gloss called Tint. It has a large palette of colors, so that every girl can choose the right shade for her. However, if there is no Tint on hand, you can use any pearlescent lipstick. The main principle of the "bitten lips" effect is to create their light contour. To do this, you need to circle the lips with a nude pencil, and paint over the central area with gloss Tint or lipstick, without making any clear transitions.
- Red lipstick shades … It is recommended to use them only if there is minimal emphasis on the eyes. You can choose any shade of red lipstick - from scarlet to rotten cherry color. Lighter tones are suitable for blondes and brown-haired women, and rich burgundy ones for burning brunettes. However, red lipstick should not be used by owners of fiery red hair.
Autumn makeup technique
In order to thoroughly master the technique of applying make-up, you can make out the simplest option - autumn makeup for every day with an emphasis on the eyes. It can be done every morning in just a few minutes.
To make the autumn look more harmonious, it is necessary to correctly select the shades of all cosmetics. The first thing to look out for is eye color. The palette of shades of shadows is very diverse.
There are such color combinations:
- Autumn makeup for brown eyes … Brown-eyed brunettes work best with a dark eyeshadow palette. It can be brown, dark gray, sand, ash, deep bronze and bright purple shades. They will highlight dark eyes and blend well with hair color.
- Autumn makeup for blue eyes … To emphasize the beautiful heavenly color of the eyes in combination with blonde hair, you can use gray, pinkish, silvery, pale lilac, blue, blue, steel and peach shades of eyeshadows. A honey color will also look good.
- Autumn makeup for green eyes … In order for the unusual emerald color of the eyes to stand out beautifully against the background of general makeup, it is necessary to use green, light green, marsh, yellowish-golden and olive shades of shadows. It is important to make the correct transition in such a way that the most saturated green color turns out exactly outside the upper eyelid. Thanks to this technique, it will be possible to achieve the effect of a "fox" look.
- Autumn makeup for gray eyes … If the iris has a beautiful ash-gray color, it should be emphasized with steel, pinkish and lilac-purple eyeshadows. If at the same time the skin is a little dark, sandy brown and bronze colors are well suited. If it is light, then it is recommended to apply gentle green and purple shadows.
- Autumn makeup for redheads … Owners of fiery hair, regardless of the color of their eyes, are always in the spotlight. To emphasize the elegance and uniqueness of such hair, it is necessary to apply gray, rich blue, brown, graphite and olive shadows to the eyelids. At the same time, it is absolutely not recommended to use pink, orange and red shades, although they visually suit red hair.
Brown-haired women often have gray-blue or gray-green eyes. In this case, emphasis is placed on such tones that will emphasize the hair color. It is recommended to use shades of brown, hazel, golden, pale lilac and beige.
How to make autumn makeup step by step:
- It is necessary to wash your face using a mild cleansing gel or foam.
- After washing, you need to wipe the skin with a cotton pad dipped in tonic to achieve acid-base balance.
- Next, apply a thin layer of moisturizer to nourish your skin and prevent pores from clogging.
- After that, a small, translucent layer of liquid foundation is applied. If the girl has an oily skin type, you can lightly powder her forehead, chin and nose using a fluffy brush.
- Then you need to apply blush. Use a brush to highlight the cheekbones. To do this, the cheeks should be pulled in slightly and begin to apply dry blush in the direction from the corners of the mouth to the temples.
- Let's start with the eyes. On the outer part of the upper eyelid, using the applicator, apply a darker color of the selected shadows (gray or brown), and on the inner corner - silver or beige shades. The place of transition of colors should be well shaded and smoothed.
- If desired, the edge of the upper eyelid can be drawn with a pencil, drawing a soft, fuzzy contour. You don't need to draw sharp arrows.
- Eyebrows need to be combed. If there are any too noticeable flaws, they can be masked with an eyebrow pencil or shadow. Next, the hairs should be styled with a gel.
- The final touch is the lips. A light layer of light pink glitter needs to be applied to them, and your daily makeup is ready.
