Autumn Beauty

It's finally Autumn! It's such a beautiful season with so many wonderful connotations; you hear Autumn, and you think golden leaves, coffee and hot chocolate, dark nights and dark lips, halloween and bonfire night and sweaters and scarves and boots. I have such an adoration for this season and I really wanted to make a blog post pointing out my favourite beauty items of Autumn for me to hopefully give you some inspiration for this coming season! 

Makeup!

(Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer £5.99, Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder £3.99, Wilko's Kissx Mattifying Primer £3)

After glowing up my face to the max during summer, there's nothing better than going matte in the Autumn time. These are my three favourite products that help achieve this look, using a matte foundation would be great too, although I hate to admit I'm yet to buy one! 

Those out there with dry skin need to take care as the weather gets colder as you'll be more prone to dryness! Please moisturise and use products that keep your face hydrated and healthy.

(Makeup Revolution Ultra Eyeshadows Flawless Matte Palette £8)

As I have already mentioned Autumn is the season of MATTE. I love this palette! Yes, they aren't the best quality products out there but for their price you get a beautiful set of 32 eyeshadows that are perfect for this season, the colour scheme here is exactly what I look for in the Autumn. 

(Essence All About Nude Eyeshadow Palette £3.49, Elf Mineral Eyeshadow in Golden £1.50*, Makeup Geek Pigment in Insomnia £5.83**, Geek Chic Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Very Specific Skill Set £3.88**, Revlon Matte Eyeshadow in Plum £2.99, Maybelline Color Tattoo 24Hr in Metallic Pomegranate£4.99)

Essence All About Nude Palette

This palette packs a punch and offers so many beautiful shimmery shades. The colours range from light and cutesy to dark and deep and pretty much covers all your needs for a shimmery eye look!

I love the whole burgundy and plum look that Autumn brings on and here is just a small selection of eyeshadows and pigments that are sure to help you on your way to looking like the literal embodiment of Autumn! 

(Maybelline Super Stay Lipstick in Absolute Plum, Soft Taupe, Grape Juice, Pink Spice, Always Crimson £8.99)

Where do I start with these?! The Maybelline Super Stay Lipsticks have quickly become my favourite drugstore lip product. They are super long lasting liquid lipsticks with a range of finishes and an even more impressive range of colours! There are so many shades perfect for Autumn that you are sure to find one that you love!

These none-transferring lipsticks brilliant and perfect for those days where you want to go out and forget about your makeup. The product comes with a balm to keep your lips moisturised throughout the day as they are quite drying. 

Sweaters!

There is nothing better than waking up on a dim, foggy morning and snuggling into your favourite sweater. For me, they are the epitome of Autumn and what I look most forward to when the weather starts turning. I have a good selection of sweaters and shirts so I can mix and match, as well as mixing up my jeans or tights (greens, browns and burgundies are perfect colours!) 
If you love good quality, thick, baggy sweaters I would suggest checking out the 'men's' section of the clothes store. I got everything in this picture (bar the pink shirt, red checkered shirt and scarf) from the 'men's' section and they're my favourites, look how cosy they look! (I do buy my clothes at a much larger size than I actually am though) 

Shoes!

(From left to right and downwards: Red Boots from New Look, Black Heels from New Look, Black Platform Heels from New Look, Brown Heels from George, Brown Boots from Dorothy Perkins, Black Boots from George) 

The second most important part of an Autumn outfit? SHOES! 

I love having a variety of styles and colours to match my sweaters but I veer towards black and brown boots because I'm a simple girl with ankles too weak for heels. 

Well I hope that got you pumped for Autumn and also gave you some ideas of what's out there for your Autumn look! 

Next week I will be going through my favourite lip moisturisers because my lips hate the change in weather so before Autumn my mouth is like the desert ground. 

 * = I couldn't find a price for this product and I'm not sure whether it is still available but it probably cost me no more than £2.
