Autumn Bombshell

Perhaps the most important part of your night time routine, cleanser is something that all of us should be using to wash off the dirt from our day. There are so many different types of cleansers- gel, foaming, and cream. If you are someone who is per...
Bonus Tip: If your skin isn't sensitive and you want some exfoliation, once a week, taking a cleanser containing an exfoliating acid and letting it sit like a mask for around one to three minutes as a great way to exfoliate the skin. Use salicylic Ac...

As we fall into the cooler months (no pun intended), it's important that we keep our skin hydrated as the humidity decreases. Using a moisturizer is a great way to add hydration while locking it in. 
 Bonus Tip: Glycerin is an incredible humectant to bring water into the skin. Ceramides lock that moisture in place, providing a long lasting hydrating benefit.

Although Summer is now almost behind us, we still need to be wearing sunscreen. As the primary source to our skin's damage, by wearing sunscreen you're able to let the rest of your skincare do what it needs to in order to get benefits.
Bonus Tip: If you're on the more oily side, you might be able to get away with using a sunscreen in place of a moisturizer.

Now that we've got our skincare down, it's time for the exciting part- makeup. To create a smooth base, using a primer that is long lasting and smoothing will be incredibly helpful.
Bonus Tip: After applying primer, let it sit on your skin for about 5 minutes to form a cast and get tacky. That way your base will last much longer.

During the fall season, trends shift to soft and cozy. Personally, I think there is no better time to use a matte foundation than the fall. 
Bonus Tip: Think of your foundation as more of a color corrector rather than something to cover your skin. With this approach, you'll use less product and achieve a more natural look.

Blush is a great tool to use because it helps to add life back into your skin. By doing so, you create a healthy flush within your skin. 
Bonus Tip: To prevent an oversaturated blush, take a little bit of blush on your brush, and place it on the apple of your cheeks, progressively building the color in the direction of your desired placement.

While we may be out of summer, using a bronzer is the best way to add dimension to the face while reminiscing the past season.
Bonus Tip: Using a radiant bronzer will create a more natural look. By using a bronzer that moves with the light, it will look more believable than a harsh matte brown line.

Concealer is a great tool to help add dimension in the face, bringing attention to where we place it.
Bonus Tip: Try placing your concealer on after bronzer and blush, this way you won't cover up all your hard work. By letting it sit where you place it, the concealer will be more likely to stay in place. And rather than using a brightening shade all ...

Powder is useful for two things; adding a blurring and brightening effect, and helping to set makeup in place. 
Bonus Tip: Using a powder without silica is one way to ensure minimal flashback in photos.

Perhaps the part where all of the magic comes together, eyeshadow is the most excoting part of this look. Using deep forest, burgundy, fiery and nude shades are the best bets for a fall season look.

Using eyeliner is a fantastic way to define the eye and achieve a simple smokey eye. If you're in a rush, take a kohl liner, apply a decent amount and smoke it outwards and upwards with a brush.
Bonus Tip: Use a brown eyeliner to keep the eyes open while still defining them.

Adding mascara is a great way to open your eyes and take in the fall surroundings. Feathery, wispy lashes make autumn look like a dream.
Bonus Tip: Use a lash comb after applying mascara for that fanned out, light-as-a-feather style.

If there's any time to wear a bold lip, it's fall. Using the Fall colors as inspiration is a great way to spice up the fall look.

For the fall season, defining the lips is a powerful trick- you can make your lips look pouty, plump, full or lifted, depending on your preference. By using lip liner, you can make your lips look as defined crisp fall weather.

Although it's the season heading into winter, we still catch a glimmer of the sun's rays to keep us company. Using a highlighter in makeup can have a dashingly similar effect.

It's time to lock in all of our hard work. Use a setting spray to make sure that your hard work lasts!
Bonus Tip: If you find that your setting spray seems to make your skin look too dewy, try using a powder afterwards to lightly dust over the excess glow.
