The Autumn Look

Yay! Autumn has finally come, even though this means cycling through rainstorms, wearing gloves (meaning you can't use your phone) and being so cold you literally feel like your fingers are going go freeze off, it also means wrapping yourself in blankets, autumnal starbucks drinks and cozy scarfs to keep you warm. Even though the no-makeup days are the best during autumn, since I love my lazy sundays and the cold seems to be a great reason for being lazy, I also have to get out of the house every now and then. For me this just screams make-up. Not that I wear make-up every time I leave the house, but personally, I just think it is so much fun! 
Not only do the colours of the leaves change, I also change up my make-up routine during this time of year. The peacy-pinks leave my stash and I include the dark red lipsticks and the eyeliner. During summer, I feel like make-up just sweats off my face, I'd rather wear no make-up at all or at least don't bother to much with it. But autumn and winter on the other hand are a conpletely different story. My passion for make-up wakes up and I love it. So here it comes, my autumn make-up look! 
(Top right: Rimmel wake me up! Concealer, next to that: the They're Real mascara by Benefit, top left: Rimmel gel-eyeliner, next to that: Rituals... Cheek and eye glow in peach, bottom left: Sephora eyebrow kit in midnight brown)
The base: The tea tree flawless BB cream in 02 by the Body Shop. Since I have quite blemished skin, I feel like because of the tea tree, this somehow is not as bad for my skin as an actual foundation or regular BB cream. Furthermore, this just gives amazing seemless coverage and it looks amazing on the skin.
The main part of this look: the liptsticks! Yay! The one on the left is by essence in the shade 04, on the catwalk. The one on the right is by Rimmel (Kate Moss collection) in the shade 105. On the catwalk is an amazing dark red/berry colour and 105 is a bit more toned down, a bit red/brownish. If I am feeling brave, I go for on the catwalk. 

And here you go! The result with all the stuff on the face. What do you think? Leave it bellow :)
