Timeless Looks for Your Fall Makeup – Beauty Tips
The air is cool and crisp, the leaves on the trees are changing colors and pumpkin spice can be found almost literally everywhere! This only means one thing: Fall is finally here! One of the most favorite and most anticipated seasons of the year, if not only for the fashionable fall-colored palettes, but also the opportunities to dust off our killer boots and magnificent scarves. And what better way to tie together a dazzling Autumn appearance than with beautiful, timeless makeup looks?
Face
Your face should be considered the canvas – the base – of your masterpiece. A beautiful canvas like this shouldn’t be coated in a hundred layers of cake-batter-like foundation! You can keep it simple with a light foundation that can benefit your lovely skin with an SPF and anti-aging ingredients. A matte-finish is preferred by many, leaving your skin looking airbrushed and shine-free. A matte finish tends to be a little bit thicker, but applying a thin layer is absolutely perfect for those ladies that suffer from an oily skin type or prefer a more “Photoshopped” look. A more dewy finish typically comes from a thinner, water-based foundation. If you want a natural, effortless look, then definitely go with this type of foundation. You can even try using natural colored bronzers or Autumn-colored blushes to maintain that healthy summer glow, but still exude warm, flushed cheeks.
Tips for Applying Your Blush and Foundation
Since every foundation uses a different brush, for a specific look, we wanted to cover a few and their uses. Such as this: Use a large, full brush for a mineral foundation and sheer coverage. For those that choose liquid foundation, use a synthetic foundation brush or flat head for the best look.
Be sure to use small motions to apply the makeup onto your skin and be sure to blend it in (You don’t want obvious lines anywhere). Not blending is one of the worst foundation faux pas.
To get radiant and uniform coverage, also be sure to blend your foundation into your ears, hairline, and on your neck.
You can use a plastic spoon to help with contouring your blush or bronzer. Place the round part of the spoon on the apple of your cheek, aligning the handle to face toward the top of your ear. Using your favorite color, contour below the spoon, remove the spoon, then apply color to the apples of your cheeks and blend it in to soften.
Eyes
People almost always notice someone’s eyes first. We have been taught since we were children to always look at someone when they are talking or when we are listening. Our eyes can be one of the most stunning features we have and so it is imperative to accentuate them rather than mask! Here are two timeless looks that are bound to draw some attention: The “cat eye”. This look has been around for decades, being classically worn by actresses and models throughout the 1950s. Creating that seductive little curve, your eyes will scream elegancy. Second, “smokey eyes”. This look is still worshiped by fashionistas. This makeup effect can be simplified or dramatized and can deliver a sexy, mysterious appeal. No matter what color choice you make, be sure to use a good shadow and smudge brush to smoke out the look. And be sure to soften the under-eye liner to create that edgy look!
Tips for Drawing That Cat Eye
Draw your line with a pencil first, then go over it with a liquid eyeliner.
Apply the liquid eyeliner in little dots. Now all you have to do is connect them for an even line!
Literally any color of eyeshadow can be made into an eyeliner by wetting a thin brush, like a detail eye Makeup Brush or an Angle Brush and running it over the shadow.
Lips
Who can look at red lipstick and think it’s ugly? No one, right? Red lipsticks and glosses are pretty coveted by most women. This daring, classic color can vamp up any of your simply makeup looks and it’s found in thousands of variations of shades. A cherry red is a classic that drips in sexual appeal. Whether you just want to make a bold statement or you want to entice the entire world, red lipstick is a must for Fall.
Not a super-fan of red? Not to worry. A lot of people really love deep rich plums, burgundies, browns, and burnt orange browns this Fall. Who wouldn’t? There is surely something to be said for these rich shades and tones. Why not pair a burgundy matte lip with a nice matallic topper for a rich, trendy look? Or try a burnt orange brown with simple, natural eyeshadow and a simple blouse for a nice, simple look this Fall.

Tips for Those Lips
Have you ever wondered why some of red lipsticks you’ve tried make your teeth look yellow? You picked the wrong one! To find the right one, look for a red lipstick that has blue or purple undertones. This tip will make your teeth super white.
And it may seem like an unnecessary step, but try filling in lips with a lipliner and apply your lipstick afterward. It will significantly prolong your lip makeup.
You can also avoid annoying lip makeup bleeding by using concealer around your lips to produce a sharp finish or using longwear lipsticks.
