Autumn winter make up trend looks- nude and smokey.

Nude- Autumn winter look
Nude Look:
Think soft, delicate and ethereal, not bland and boring.
Skin is prepped and flawless with a hint of peachy/apricot creme blush on cheeks. Focus on the eyes, with a colourwash across the lids and a little crystal highlighter placed in the inner corner of the eye. 2 coats of mascara. Lips are lined and filled in with pencil then a slick of tinted colour with *treatment* to keep lips soft and supple in a honeyed nude shade complete the look.

 Lips:

Smokey -Autumn Winter Look



Smokey Look:
Eyes are the focus with defined, sultry smokey-ness. A strong smokey eye can be a little *draining*, to counteract this, add a very sheer hint of bronze across the complexion to add a little warmth and choose a warm terracotta blush but use it very sparingly. Lips can be kept very muted or a little *spiced* up.

Base:
Warmed up with a drop of Sisley- Sunglow mixed into the *base*
Foundation-Dior- Forever Shade 31
Concealer- Dior Skinflash #3 (to brighten)

Cheeks: Blusher-NARS powder blush: Liberte

Eye pencil: Use a black pencil on upper lid and on the edge of the lower lid (taken half way across the lower lid) Pencil- Bella Pierre-Black- blend out with cotton bud so there are no *harsh lines*
Shadow: Illamasqua Obsidianacross the lid and taken to the crease of the eye and then blended up gently. Highlighter in the inner corner of the eye: Illamasqua-Slink
