Go To High Coverage Autumn Makeup

Autumn has been my favourite season for as long as I can remember. I love the colours, how much there is to look forward to and the cooler weather. As a result of the cooler weather, I start to wear a bit more makeup because I'm not worried about it melting off my face in the heat (mmm sexy), so I thought I'd share my high coverage autumn look with you.

For base I of course use my Benefit Porefessional primer. Everyone knows how much I love this primer as I'm constantly raving about it, it's just amazing. The foundation I use is MAC's Studio Fix Fluid which is a high coverage matte foundation - perfect for this look. After applying my foundation, I usually find that I don't need to conceal any blemishes because the foundation is so high coverage, so I go straight in with the Collection Lasting Perfection in the lightest shade to highlight under my eyes, my forehead, my nose and my chin. Then to contour my face and add some warmth, I use my Bourjois Bronzing Primer under my cheek bones, by my hairline and around my chin.

  

I've found I don't need powder for this look unless I'm going for a night out (which lets face it, never happens), so I go straight in with the Benefit Hoola bronzer to contour my face a bit more. For blush I use the NYC Cheek Glow in 'Sutton Place Peach'. This is quite a matte blush and is a warm bronze shade with a hint of coral.

For eyeshadow, I used the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in the shade 'on and on bronze' all over my lid as a primer. I then went in with the Tanya Burr Hollywood pallete and used the shade 'gold coin' all over my lid. Through my crease and on the outer portion of my lid, I used the shade 'bookworm' and then to highlight my inner corner and brow bone I used the shade 'nude delight'. I also used a bit of bookworm under my eye along the lash line.

I created a cat eye using my much loved L'oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim and then used the Benefit Roller Lash for mascara (the MOST amazing mascara EVER).

For lips I use MAC's Sin lipstick. This is a deep berry shade which is perfect for autumn and it has a matte finish. You could always swap this for a brown toned nude if you're not as confident with a dark lip.
