Get The Look: Five Steps To Fabulous Fall Makeup

Embracing a casually-glamorous appearance for fall is an ideal way to let a woman’s natural beauty and inner stylish sophistication shine. Following the five steps listed below will give you the foundation for creating your own unique and sophisticated style for the fall season. Also listed are products for the luxury look that is pictured.

Fall Makeup Collage

1. Begin with beautiful, clear and clean skin.

Putting on expensive makeup and creating a beautiful style with makeup will be a loss if the skin is not prepared first. Beginning a skincare regimen is necessary if you have problems with oily or dry skin. A consistent morning and evening skincare routine will help you to obtain beautiful and clean skin that will provide a wonderful backdrop for fall makeup styles.

2. Select the proper foundation and powder that will set a basis for striking fall makeup.

Translucent loose powders applied lightly with a brush on top of a slightly-shimmering, translucent foundation base will provide the perfect backdrop for beautiful autumn makeup colors. Autumn is a great time to wear bold greens, vivid sea-blues and rustic colors. However, in order for these colors to stand out and complement your face, it is important to be gentle with the color and application of foundation and powder.

3. Let love captivate your lips by using vivid and rustic lip colors.

Apply a deep wine or a rustic light brown to the outer perimeter of the lips in the form of a lip liner pencil. Lip liner pencils help to highlight your lips and accentuate the natural curves of the mouth. Rustic brick reds and deep, orange-reds are perfect lip colors to use during the fall season. Save the pinks and purple shades for spring and summer when more playful colors and whimsical outfits are worn.

4. Bring out the eyes with glimmering colors and subtle sparkle.

The eyes and the smile are two parts of the face that people notice right away. Now that you have beautiful lips taken care of, feel free to add some pizzazz to make your eyes pop. Dramatic eye color can be used during the fall season to draw attention and intrigue. Make sure the eyebrows are carefully plucked or waxed so unwanted brow hair strays will not detract from the beauty of your eyes. Sensuous colors such as deep sea-greens and blues, golden shimmering tones and bold grey shades will bring out the colors of all shades of eyes in an attractive and dramatic fashion.

5. Enhance a glamorous eye and lip color with subtle rouge colors.

Since you are going with a light shade of foundation and powder and more vivid shades for the eyes and lips, it is important to maintain the balance of color by using a subtle shade for your cheekbones. Select a rouge color that is a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone that also has a slightly rose-colored tint to it. Apply this gently with a brush to the cheekbones in order to accentuate your cheeks.

4 Must Have Beauty Items For Fall and Mary Kay Fall Sweepstakes

Need a new fall look? Mary Kay cosmetics has some great items, perfect for creating one of several trendy fall looks. This fall, Mary Kay is focusing on four different looks based on the Hollywood Mystique trend: Menswear with a Feminine Twist, Hidden Luxury, Feminine Details, and Polished Confidence.

I created the fall hidden luxury look below using Mary Kay® products. I focused on muted matte shadow and a muted red lip for a soft, luxurious look.

You can get this look or any of the Mary Kay fall trend looks with these essential fall items:

1) A Fall Makeup Palette

Palettes are a great way to put together a coordinated look while adding value. Mary Kay® makes it easy by offering refillable palettes so you can mix and match your own shades if you so desire.

Below are two different sizes of Mary Kay® palettes. I particularly love the Mary Kay® matte eye shadows, such as those in the palette on the left, and I am wearing those in the photo. They come in some nice shades, including shades that you don’t normally see in matte. If you are a matte shadow lover, definitely check them out!

2) A Deep Lipstick Shade

Fall is all about reds, purples, and plums. Think deep and dark shades and pick up a lipstick in a rich dark color. I am wearing Mary Kay® Creme Lipstick in Red  in the photo dotted on to make it sheer and with a Mary Kay® NouriShine Plus®in Pink Lustre over the top.

3) Rich Plum or Purple Nail Polish

Just as dark lips are in for fall, so are deep dark nails. Deep purples and plums are perfect, as are brick reds. If you like more unusual colors, try a deep hunter green or dark navy blue polish.

(4) The Right Tools

You can’t get a great look without the right tools. I like to switch up my tools each season. This assures that I sort through items and replace anything that is worn, and I also use that time to thoroughly clean my brushes.

If you need a good brush set, Mary Kay has a nice one. Their Brush Collection comes in a great carrying case that can also hold your makeup. The brushes are excellent quality, and the set gives you the essentials that you need for creating great makeup looks.
