Favorite Fall Blushes

Hi! How was your weekend?

Today I'm sharing my favorite blushes for Fall. I tend to wear darker blushes, lip colors, and eye makeup in Fall and Winter time. Some of these blushes have been long time favorites, and some are newer to my collection. 

I've talked about this Morphe 9N Blush Palette quite a bit recently, so I won't ramble on about it. I love the neutral tons and some of the darker shades are great for Fall. Check my review here for more photos and swatches!

I'm a huge fan of Nars cheek products. Sin (left) and Almeria (right) have been two of my favorite blushes during the colder months for a few years. Sin is a berry berry/plum tone, and Almeria is a kind of burnt, reddish, plum tone. It's a hard one to describe, and it's hard to capture the true color of it. 

I also really love Hourglass Mood Exposure (left) and Makeup Revolution blush in Nude for fall time. Mood Exposure is looks more plum in the pan but it comes off as more of a dusty rose shade. Makeup Revolution Nude is a perfect everyday mauve.

Most of these blushes are great for everyday and you can wear all year around too. I'm a huge fan of all matte looks in the Fall too, but if I want a tiny bit of shimmer, then Sin and Mood Exposure are perfect.

Favorite Eyeshadow Palettes for Fall

Hello! 

I've been a little slacky this week on the blog and my YouTube channel. With the long weekend and Labor Day a few days ago, I didn't plan out my schedules very well. 

Today I'm sharing some eyeshadow palettes that I love and think are perfect for Fall. I always love the burnt orange and red tones, especially for this up coming season. Also Fall is when I like to wear more smokey looks and darker makeup. 

I'm pretty sure I do posts like this every Fall, but sometimes my favorites or what products I'm using the most changes from last year, so you'll see my favorite lip colors and blushes in the next week or so too! 

I'm also sorry about the lighting in these photos. It was cloudy and rainy all day yesterday, and that is what I get for waiting to the last minute to take pictures LOL. At least you all more than likely already know what these palettes look like. I was able to snag a few photos or some of the palettes that I used in previous posts, but sorry about the rest!

I've talked about the Morphe 35O palette a ton lately, but this just screams Fall. I'm obsessed with all these red and orange tones. 

I also love the Lorac Pro palette for Fall because it's a good neutral palette but it has some nice plum and smoky colors. I've been really into my Lorac Pro 3 lately, so I'll have to give this one some love soon!

I'm pretty sure I mention this Jesse's Girl palette every Fall. But how can I not with these red and orange colors? Plus this is only $3.99!

The Tartelette palette is a go to of mine for Fall because I LOVE a good all matte look during Fall, and I love the plum tones in this palette too. I'm pretty sure I used this the most out of all my palettes last Fall and Winter. 

Speaking of all matte palettes, the Kat Von D Shade and Light Eye Palette has to be one of the best all matte palettes I own, and I adore this one for Fall. The third color from the end is one of my favorite red tones eyeshadows of all time. 

You'll definitely see these palettes in sims Fall makeup tutorials I have planned. I'm for sure going to do an all matte look for Fall, and I'm super excited about it!

Current Everyday Makeup | Summer to Fall

Hi :)

Today I'm sharing a video on my current makeup routine. This is pretty much what I've been doing with my makeup most days for the past month or so. I can't get enough of my Morphe palettes that I purchased on vacation, so you get to see them in action here in this video!

This makeup has some red/orange tones in it, and a little bit of a darker lip color so its a perfect makeup look to transition from Summer to Fall. I'll definitely be doing more Fall makeup looks soon!

FOTD | Everyday Neutral for Fall

Hello! I'm going to share the makeup look that I've done pretty much everyday lately. It's neutral and great for this season and the blush and lipstick I used are one of my favorites for Fall.

I didn't get a close up of the eyes but I used wanderer as my transition, dreamer in my crease and lower lash line, and force of nature on my lid.

Favorite Fall Lipsticks

Hello! Dark lips are are big trend during Fall time. I'm no exception to loving them. I'm sharing a few of my favorite lip combos for this season today, and most of them are a darker brown/nude but I did throw in a red and two dark purples!

Here's four lip liners I chose to pair with all the lipsticks. They are all pretty similar in color but form left to right we have Mac Morning Coffee, Mac Absolutly It, Rimmel Mauve Shimmer, and Urban Decay Naked. 

The first lipstick is Mac Hug Me which is a beautiful nude color. It's more on the sheer side, but over a darker lip liner creates a perfect dark brown/nude for Fall. I have it over UD Naked in top and Mac Morning Coffee on bottom. Hug me and Morning Coffee has been my favorite combo lately. 

Here is Nars Shrinagar. This was the first purple/berry toned lip stick I owned. It pretty on its own (top swatch) but the second swatch is paired with Rimmel Shimmer Mauve, and the second with Mac Absolutely It. 

The next two are Mac Twig and Maybelline Touch of Spice. Touch of Spice is a great dupe for Twig and they are almost identical. The top swatch is Twig and the second is ToS. Both are paired with Mac Absolutely It. 

This one is another pretty berry toned color and it's Tarte Plumy Rose. Another sheer formula but looks awesome over top of Rimmel Shimmer Mauve. 

If you want a nice lip red for Fall, then Nars Velvet Matte lip crayon is Cruella is perfect. This doesn't need a lip liner, but if I wear one with it then I just use some basic nude shade. 

This last one is a Maybelline Color Elixir in the shade Caviar Couture. This is the darkest that I own, and the formula for these is very glossy. I found this was kind of messy to apply and took some buildup. I haven't tried it over a lip liner yet, but it would be pretty over Mac Absolutely it. 

So these are my lip lipstick choices for Fall this year. I would like to add in some more darker shades like purples and reds so I will update you all if I add some into my collection!

* I have a ton of YouTube videos filmed so this week I'll be posting one or two of them. Probably a Fall makeup look, and either my eyeshadow palette collection or an I Love Fall Tag. Which one would you rather see first??*

Favorite Fall Blushes

You all know that I LOVE Fall. It's my favorite season and I really just wish it would stay Fall all year around. I love everything about it, and Fall makeup is no exception. 

When it comes to makeup, I think the most thing I change up through the seasons is my blushes and lipsticks. I go from peaches and pinks to berry tones. Today I have my 3 favorite and most worn blushes for this time of the year. I've loved all of these for a long time and I'm excited to wear them again. 

I have two Nars blushes and one blush from Hourglass. Nars are my all time favorite blushes and I have two that are perfect for Fall. The Hourglass one is pretty nuetral so it can be worn all year, but it does have a mauve/berry tone to it so I love it for this season. 

Here's pictures with (bottom) and without (top) a flash. From left to right we have Hourglass Mood Exposure, Nars Sin, and Nars Almeria. I do apologize that I think  Almeria was a limited edition shade, so I'm not sure if you can still get it. 

Mood Exposure- This actually looks like it would be darker in the pan than it really is. It's a great neutral color with a hint or mauve/berry like I said before. It blends in to the skin super nice, and has a pretty natural glow to it. 

Sin- I have loved this blush for years. I've probably had this a good 3 years or so and I have hit pan on it. It's a pretty Berry color that has a slight shimmer to it. The shimmer isn't that noticeable when it's on your cheeks but gives a nice glow like the hourglass one does. 

Almeria- This blush is super hard to capture to true color of. The first picture without the flash makes it look orange, but it's more of a burnt reddish color like the swatch. This one is matte it's just a gorgoues and unique color. I don't own anything else like this!

Fall Makeup Picks

Hi :) It seems like every season I do a post on what my favorite makeup items for that time of the year are. I'm continuing that trend today and sharing what makeup I am loving for Fall. Most of these are eyeahdaows, blushes, and lipsticks because I don't really change up anything else for the season. I love the darker lip/cheek colors for Fall and using Autumn colors on my eyes. 

Lip Colors 

From left to right- Nars Shrinager, Maybelline Matte Lipstick in Touch of Spice, Nyx Butter Lipstick in Pop Explosif, Tarte Plummy Rose, Nyx Butter Gloss in Apple Strudle. 

All these lip colors are really similar, but I have been more daring with berry toned colors lately. I still try to keep darker lip colors on the nuetral side, because they are a little out of my comfort zone! 

Blushes

From left to right- Hourglass Ambiant Lightening Blush in Mood Exposure, Nars Sin, Kat Von D Everlasting Blush in Wish. 

Like the berry lips, I like darker, Berry toned blushes for Fall too. Nars sin is my absolute favorite. Mood Exposure is a great one because it's not super dark when it's applied so it's great for everyday wear. I chose a peached toned one as well, because this blush is a more cool toned peach so it gives you a nice neutral color for fall! 

Eyeshadows 

From left to right (top row)- L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Smoldering Plum, Maybelline Nudes Palette, L'Oreal Infalloble Eyeahdow in Amber Rush, (bottom row) Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Palette, Jesse's Girl Brown Eyes Palette. 

The two L'Oreal shadows are some of my favorites for this time of year. Smoldering Plum is such a beautiful deep purple. I picked the two neutral palettes because the Maybelline one has a lot of pretty gold and bronze tones, and the UD one is very cool toned. The Jesse's Girl palette is beyond perfect for this time of year. I am so obsessed with the Orange and red tones!

Fall Eye Look- Plum Smokey Eyes

It's been forever and a day since I've posted a makeup look on my blog. This needs to change LOL. I've gotten into such a funk of doing my makeup the same everyday because I'm running late for work. I literally switch between 2-3 neutral looks that all look that same. I don't know what's wrong with me people! 

Anyways! Today I pulled out my Lorac Pro Palette, which I have been wanted to use forever and finally did. I rediscovered how much I love it so I was happy. 

I did a pretty smokey Eyelook for Fall using some plum shades, and did something a little different on my lower lash line from the usual. 

How I got this look 

-I first used Mac painterly paint pot to prime my eyes. 

I used quite a lot of shades to get this look. 

-First I used Taupe (3rd shade on top row) as my transition color and blended it all over my lid, crease, and up to my brow bone. 

-Next I used Mauve (5th shade on top row) in my crease and blended it up to my brow bone as well. 

-For the crease I mixed Espresso (2nd to last shade on top row) and Deep Purple (right underneath espresso) and blended it out. 

-I took more of Deep Purple and focused it more in the inner corner. 

-I also used Espresso on my lower lash line.

-I used Pewter (5th shade bottom row) all over my lid. 

-For the inner corner highlight I used Nude (first shade bottom row). 

-For my eyeliner I used L'Oreal Lineur intense liquid liner to make my winged liner. 

-For my water line I used Urban Decay 24/7 glide on shadow pencil in the color Rehab. I normally do black liner in my water line but I wanted to try something different today.

-For mascara I used L'Oreal Telescopic. 

I hope you all enjoyed this fall eye look and thank you for reading!
