Why this worksAs the seasons change, so do our skin tones and the overall vibe we want to project. An effective makeup routine considers these shifts by incorporating warmer tones and layering techniques. This approach not only enhances your features but also ensures longevity throughout the day.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face to create a smooth canvas. Use a hydrating primer to help your makeup last longer and to provide an even base.
  2. Choose the Right Foundation Select a foundation that matches your skin tone and offers good coverage. Consider a formula that’s buildable, so you can adjust your look from natural to full coverage as needed.
  3. Focus on the Eyes Opt for warm, earthy tones for your eyeshadow to reflect the autumn palette. Layering different shades can add depth and dimension, perfect for both day and night looks.
  4. Define Your Lips Choose a lip colour that complements your eye makeup. September is a great time for rich berry or nude shades, which can enhance your overall look while remaining versatile.
  5. Set It All Finish with a setting spray to lock everything in place. This helps your makeup withstand the changing weather and keeps your look fresh throughout the day.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to prep their skin, leading to patchy makeup. Others stick to summer shades instead of embracing autumn tones. Lastly, skipping setting spray can cause your makeup to wear off quickly.
