Easy autumn makeup tutorial: Dark Smokey-Eye Makeup

I love autumn; I love the layering of textures and colour. With that in mind, I thought today I would share an easy autumn makeup look.

Skin preparation

Prepare your face for makeup application as normal, here I have applied my Elizabeth Arden serum, Nivea moisturiser, and Rimmel Lasting Perfection Primer.

Step two: Base

Apply foundation. It’s the weekend (despite my jumper saying otherwise) so I don’t need heavy coverage so I’m using Too Faced’s Foundation Powder.

Step 3: Eyes

Since purchasing the Rimmel Scandal Eyes crayons, I have loved creating looks with them and for this autumn makeup I am using Bad Girl Bronze which I am applying to the centre of the eyelid and blending out.

From the Urban Decay original Naked palette, take ‘Dark Horse’ and apply into the crease of the eyelid, as much or as little as you like. Then blend as before.

I also like to apply a little bit of Dark Horse underneath my lower lash line. Then take ‘Half Baked’ and pack onto the center of the eyelid.

You could now curl your lashes if you want to before applying mascara; I am currently using Maybelline’s Lash Sensational.
