I love autumn for fashion and beauty because I prefer the colours and textures that I can play around with during this season. My favourite way to add a bit of autumn/winter to my look without buying a whole new wardrobe is with lipstick. Here are four of my favourite shades that I have been wearing a lot recently:
Shard by Illamasqua
Vesuvio by Nars
Rebel by Mac
Crimson by Bobbi Brown
The following pictures feature me wearing the lipsticks named respectively.
I really enjoy wearing these colours because they easily make a statement without a lot of effort. The pop of colour also brightens your complexion up and makes your skin look better. You'll notice that Shard by Illamasqua is very matte compared to the others but I like it because I find the blue undertone flatters a rich skin tone. Vesuvio by Nars is a great clean red which is a must for autumn. Rebel by Mac is a great has a very blue undertone and tends to stain the lips so don't go for this if you don't want your lips to be tinted even after you've removed your make up! Lastly, Crimson by Bobbi Brown is a gorgeous bordeaux red that is great for evening glamour.
In the pictures I created the rest of the look using the following products:
Nars Sheer Glow foundation
Mac Select Moisturecover concealer
Illamasqua brow powder in Gaze
Illamasqua Precision Gel Liner in Infinity
Kiko Ultra Tech Mascara
Bobbi Brown bronzer in Bali Brown
Which colour is your favourite? What lipsticks feature in your favourites list?
Just love

Wow, I really love that Shard colour on you, stand out! I've been searching high and low for a dark Bordeaux colour, so great tip off on the Bobbi Brown. You're also making me want to try Sheer Glow because your skin look flawless! x
