Get the look! Autumn brown eyes

Hello! Todays look is based around the gorgeous autumn tones appearing all over the country. This look has a strong focus on the eyes, which are a mixture of browns, shimmers golds and oranges, enjoy!



Step 1:
I started off with a completely dry face, i removed all of my old makeup using the Garnier Micellar Water. I then moisturised my face with the Blue Lagoon moisturiser, to give my skin a glowy look underneath my foundation. When that had completely sunk in, i then primed my skin using my Maybelline Baby Skin Primer.


Step 2:
Next i applied my Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation all over my face using my Nanshy Flawless Foundation Brush. This foundation gives a gorgeous glowy look without looking oily at all, and honestly lasts all day! I brushed on my Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer under my eyes and set it with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

I next filled in my eyebrows using my trusty Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in soft brown. I also cleaned up just underneath my brows with the same concealer just to give my brows a more defined crisp effect. 

I then applied the Urban Decay Primer Potion in original all over my lids to create a base for my eyeshadow. 

Skin and brows done!



Step 3:
This is where the look gets exciting! I love doing my eyes so much i feel that the eyes just make a look stand out! Using my Makeup Revolution Flawless Matte Palette i used a mixture of Burnt and Rust (two gorgeous oranges) through my crease as a transition shade. I then took Tease from my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and ran that through the crease to darken it up. I applied MAC All That Glitters over the lid, and then ran Earth from the MUR palette through my crease again to just add some more effect. I also applied this under my lower lash line. 

I then winged my liner using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Creme Colour in jet, and applied a coat of my Lash Sensational Mascara in Waterproof.



Step 4:
For the last steps of this look, i used my Artist of Makeup Cream Contour Stick in Medium to contour my skin and then my Makeup Revolution Contour Palette over the top to set it. I then topped off my cheek bones with the Mary Loumanizer Highlighter.





The finished look:

Ultimate contour and highlight products!

FINALLY. After so long looking for products to make my face look defined and angelic, i have found them! Say goodbye to muddy orange bronzers and glitterbomb highlighters, and hello to the perfect products of all time!


MAKEUP REVOLUTION ULTRA CONTOUR PALETTE £8.00
After seeing the official Makeup Revolution Instagram post announcing the arrival of this palette, i was literally jumping around the house, one of my favourite makeup brands was bringing out one of my favourite products!

The kit contains 2 matte highlighters perfect for under eye, 1 gentle skin toned shimmery highlighter, two gorgeous cheekbone highlighters and 3 contour shades.


The texture of these powders are amazing. They are unlike any other powder at all, and feel so smooth and creamy. They sit really nicely on the skin and don't have any fall out whatsoever. My absolute favourite shade is the second contour shade on the bottom row. It suits my pale skin so well and leaves me gently bronzed without looking like an orange or like i haven't had a wash for a long time!

Another favourite is the yellow toned matte highlighter second across on the top row. It's nice and light for applying on top of concealer and gives a gorgeous brightened effect. The shimmery highlighters are also to die for! I love the white and gold swirled one however the more bronzed one is honestly perfect. I recommend this product so much for a great contour kit and for the price of £8 you cannot go wrong.

ARTIST OF MAKEUP (ZUKREAT COSMETICS) CONTOUR STICK £18
I'm going to be honest, i  was slightly nervous ordering this product. From reviews online it looked so pigmented and strong i was worried it was going to be very brown and very dark on my pale skin. I was so wrong! Because this product is a cream stick, it blends in so well. It feels so creamy and hydrating. This is definitely a product i would use for special occasions as it's so lovely and makes such a difference to my contour routine. It is on the higher end of the price scale (for me, a massive saver) however it is 100% worth it!


THE BALM - MARY LOUMANIZER £17.50
I have spoke about this highlighter 100 times before and i'm sure alot of other people have too. But it's honestly gorgeous and you cannot go wrong with it. Its creamy and not too powdery, glowy and gorgeous and the packaging is just so fun. This adds such a perfect highlight to any look and is bound to get you compliments! There isn't much more i can say about this highlight as it is just an ultimate favourite, if you haven't tried it, please do you will not regret it!





Thankyou so much for reading! I am honestly so relieved i have found some great products for contouring and highlighting, it took a long time!
