Makeup Tutorial: Fall Inspired

The season of fall is upon us. The leaves should be changing, days run shorter and gusts of cool air arrive as night falls. Or at least we, in the Middle East, would love to think. Although it's still pretty warm, the slight drop in temperature is enough to officially announce the arrival of Autumn.

To commemorate this beloved season, we are going to do a Fall inspired makeup tutorial. This can be paired with a dark lip color for a full-blown look.

Tutorial


1. Pick up a peach colored eyeshadow and concentrate this on the eyelid. Don't go above your natural crease, but you can blend the edges.



2. Take a medium brown shade and blend this into the crease. This color is going to be the blending and transition color for the next couple of shadows.



3. For an interesting pop of color, take a small amount of a medium orange and blend this above the brown shade. This is optional, but I thought to include it to represent autumn leaves.


4.1 Take a dark brown and stamp this on the outer 'V'. Concentrate this only on the outer corner for definition.


4.2 Take a blending brush and diffuse that dark brown. Make sure it blends into the medium brown and orange.


5. Take a skin tone or highlight shade and apply this onto the brow bone. You can also use this to lighten the orange if it's too bright.



6. Take a purple shade and line your bottom lash line to about half way. This will balance the eye and compliment the brown/orange tones.


7. Use the same brow bone shade to highlight the inner corner.



8. Line and mascara your eyes as usual. Thrown on a pair of false lashes if you're a short-lash girl like me. Here I used very natural lashes.




And here's the completed eye look!

I love the color scheme for this look. It's borders on natural and dramatic pretty well - not too much or too less. This would probably look gorgeous on girls with lighter brown eyes. But overall, it looks simple and can be a flexible look.


Hope this helps you! Have a good one!
