Quick Smokey Eye Makeup | For Fall

Quick Smokey Eye Tutorial!

This article and tutorial is from makeupblog.janeiredale

 


Smoky eyes are everywhere for fall, and the look has never been fresher because they are being done in every shade from classic charcoal to soft browns, and even vibrant shades like plum or teal. Smoky eyes is not a color, it is a technique; or rather many techniques.

Here is one of my favorites from makeup artist Christian McNally. It looks fierce and only takes about five minutes. Have faith. it may look like a hot mess when you are halfway through, but it comes together magically in the end. Blending is the key!

• Start by smoothing a tiny bit of Lemon Lid Primer over the whole lid, lash line to brow. Blend well with your finger tips or the Camouflage Brush.
• Next, apply coordinating eye Pencil: For example, Black/Brown works well with brown or plum smoky eyes; Black or Black/Grey works with charcoal or teal. Draw a thick line across the upper lash line, going about half way up the lid towards the crease. Draw another line under the lower lashes, from inner to outer corner. Connect the two lines at the outer corner, and don't worry about being neat.
• Blend the Pencil well with the Small Fluff Brush to a soft, edgeless finish. One thing I have learned is to blend with a very light touch. It may take longer, but otherwise I end up blending off the makeup I just applied!
• Take your desired shade of PurePressed Eyeshadow Triple. Apply the medium shade to the outer two-thirds of the upper lid with the Crease Brush. The crease can stay clean for this look; concentrate the color on the lid and lash line.
• Apply the lightest shade on the inner third on the upper lid with the same brush and blend the two together with your clean Crease Brush (simply wipe it off on a tissue).
• With the Mini Dome Brush, use the darkest shade in the trio to intensify everywhere you placed the eye Pencil. Blend well.
• Again with the Crease Brush, highlight with a little bit of Oyster (shimmery) or Bone (matte) PurePressed Eye Shadow in the inner corner of the eye at the sides of the nose, and on the brow bone. Blend well.
• Line the inner rim (waterline) of the upper and lower lash line with Liner. Use the same liner or try Black for fierce drama, or Midnight Blue to really whiten the whites of your eyes.
• Apply PureLash Extender & Conditioner to upper and lower lashes to condition lashes and add volume and length. While it is still damp, follow with several coats of Longest Lash Mascara in Black Ice.  

Now with eyes this intense, please keep the cheeks and lips soft and neutral. The one exception for this fall might be a subtle pop of hot pink. Use a light hand and try Clarity In Touch Cream Blush on the cheeks and Sugar Plum PureGloss on the lips

Makeup Mascara for Autumn 

Today's makeup learning session is from beauty-tips.net

Changing your makeup style with the seasons is just as natural as changing your wardrobe, and mascara is no exception. As cooler weather approaches and you exchange your light summer wardrobe for fall colors and fabrics, your makeup choices should also reflect the change in seasons. Because mascara should be replaced every three months or so, changing your mascara with the seasons seems like a natural choice. Here are a few tips for choosing the right mascara for the autumn season.

Autumn is when we start to transition from the light, rosy natural makeup shades of summer to cooler shades. Many of us are still glowing from a summer of fun in the sun, and makeup colors should reflect that, with mascara complimenting not only the eyes but the shades as well. The emphasis on eyelashes changes at this time from light to long and thick.

When you’re shopping for new mascara for fall, remember that it’s not necessarily the mascara that will give you the look that you want, but the type of wand you use. If you’re aim is to make your eyelashes fuller, opt for a wand with a fuller brush, while a small brush will help you reach the corners of your eyes, and an eyelash comb will help separate the lashes and prevent clumping.

Because the eye colors typically change from light to darker colors, mascara colors should compliment the shade of eye shadow. Recently, autumn makeup trends have pointed towards a smoky grey look for eyes, so black mascara should be used in this case. Smoky eyes are always a great dramatic feature for evening, but you may wish to keep a warmer look for daytime, especially if you’re fair of skin and hair. Brown mascara makes a perfect compliment for brown based eye shadows and will help complete your fall look.

Makeup Liquid Foundation for Autumn

Makeup Foundation for Autumn Today's article is by: Beauty-Tips.Net


Foundation is an essential part of your makeup routine. It should be like your second skin, only better!

A good foundation for your face will include a moisturizer, concealer, if you need it, and the actual foundation. Just as we change our wardrobe with the seasons, our makeup needs will change as well. Creating a natural look is important and choosing the right tools for your skin is the best way to put your best face forward. In this article, we’ll take a look at some helpful tips for foundation in autumn.

Liquid makeup foundation In the autumn, our skin tone starts the transition from the summer tan to the paler tones of winter, and it’s important to use a foundation that accurately matches your skin tone. When choosing a foundation for autumn, always try to test the foundation before you buy it, and whenever possible, test it in good lighting. Natural light is best, when it is available. Test the foundation on your skin and let it set for a couple of minutes. Often, the color of foundation will change when it comes in contact with the natural acids in our skin, so the color in the bottle may not be exactly the same for everyone. Also be sure that the color will blend well into your neckline.

In recent years, trends in foundation have been towards natural looking, luminous skin, even in autumn and winter, and how you apply it can make the difference between looking caked on and creating a natural look. Start your routine with a moisturizer, which will help the foundation go on smoothly. Apply concealer as you need it; under the eyes to hide dark circles or to cover up blemishes, for example. Apply the foundation with your finger tips in small amounts to help create the natural look. Remember, you can always add more foundation if you need it.
