FabulousFX: Autumnal Make Up {Gold Smokey Eyes & Berry Toned Lips}

Yes, it's that time of the year... in fact, it's my favorite time of the year. Autumn is the time when football games begin; you can wear leggings, sweaters, and combat boots, or steal your boyfriend's sweatshirts if that's your cup of tea; or my favorite, the make up! I love wearing brown or gold smokey eyes and a dark red lip. Yes... that's the stuff.

(This make up suits everyone!)

Here's the make up that (if I ever get the chance) will be worn during this time of the year. P.S. Be ready for some wonderful facial expressions from yours truly.

Starting off, I use Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser as a primer and to help make the pores on my face less visible.

Then I begin with my Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer {Ivory & Buff}. I use Ivory on my under eye circles and around my nose and apply Buff to any spots I have and blend that with a Real Techniques Domed Shadow Brush.

For foundation, I use True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Foundation {Porcelain/Light Ivory} and buff that into my skin with a RC Cosmetics foundation brush.

Moving on to the eyebrows, I use my lifesaver, Too Faced Brow Envy Shaping & Defining Kit and apply the brunette shade to darken and define my eyebrows. I think the bold brow looks really exquisite during this time of the year.

Once the eyebrows are looking flawless, I move back to the face. First, I use Clinique Blended Face Powder {Transparency 3} to set my concealer and foundation. Then I apply bronzer and blush. I use the Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer {Light/Medium} and Clinique Powder Blush {Berry Delight-Limited Edition}. I apply the bronzer with a RC Cosmetics Contour Brush and for the blush, I use the Real Techniques Buffing Brush. This dazzling duo make the world a difference, giving anyone a sheer, autumnal glow.

For the eyes, I use the Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette. I applied a few layers of Buck on the entire lid, stopping at the crease. Blend. On top of Buck, sweep a heavy layer of Half Baked. Blend. The gold tint complements any eye color and works very well during this time of the year. In my crease, I blend toasted 2/3 of the way starting from the outer corner, working my way in. Blendy-blend-blend. For the outer-V, I applied Hustle. Blend. To add a smokier effect, I applied Half Baked along the lower lash line from the inner corner to the middle, then on the outer corner to the middle, apply Hustle.

Curl those lashes! Lift up while clasping top lashes for better results. Then apply a layer or two of Volum' EXPRESS® PUMPED UP! COLOSSAL Mascara {Classic Black}. This mascara is amazing for lots of volume! Not kidding.

And the part you've all been waiting for... the lips. I'm using COLOR SENSATIONAL Lip Stick {435:Plum Perfect}. I start by lining my lips with this lip stick and a Real Techniques Detailer Brush. It helps to line them first to prevent from making mistakes and having to take the time to clean up around your lips. Once lined, fill them in. If you want a more dramatic look, go ahead and apply the lip stick straight onto your lips.
