MOTD | AUTUMN/FALL BURNT ORANGE MAKEUP LOOK

Hi my lovely's, welcome back. I'm very excited about today's post as it's something different; it's going to be all about this burnt orange autumn/fall inspired makeup look I have going on. Autumn/fall is my favorite season, it's not to hot or to cold, big jumpers come out, it gets darker earlier, scented candles fill the air, the cosy nights by the fire begin, the pumpkin spice lattes make a come back and lastly my most favorite thing.. The colors, I love warm earthy tones!  What inspired me to do this look most was the colors of the leaves on a tree outside my house, it was my first sign that autumn/fall had begun and I felt the urge to do a makeup look inspired by that colors I saw. This was the end result and I was very happy with it so I thought why not share it, after all sharing is caring and more importantly maybe I could inspire some of you to try something different. So, to find out more about how I achieved this look please keep on reading. 


PREP

Moisturizer
Benefit - Triple Performing Facial Emulsion
I apply a pea size amount to the tip of my fingers and work it into the skin using circular motions, starting in the center of my face.

Primer
Benefit - POREfessional Face Primer
Again, applying a pea size amount to the tip of my fingers and using circular motions I focus on working this product into my larger pore areas around my nose and under the eyes I then work the product into my T-zone area and whatever is left I work into the rest of the face. 

BROWS

AHB - Dipbrow Pomade in Ebony
ABH - Brow Wiz in Ebony
ABH - 7 Mini Duo Brush
ABH - Clear Brow Gel
To start the brows I first comb them through with the spooley end of the duo brush. I then shape out my brows and fill in the tail using the pomade and the angled brush end of the duo brush. Once I've done this I fill in the front of the brow with the brow wiz using a light hand and also fill in any sparse areas. To bring everything together I go through the brows with the spooley end of the duo brush to blend away any harshness then set them using the brow gel.


EYES

Base
NYX - Conceal, Correct & Contour Palette
NYX - Stay Matte Powder in Warm
Sigma - F75 Concealer Brush
Sigma - E60 Large Shader Brush
To create a base and define the brows I use shade 3 from the palette and a F75 brush. I carve out the brows first then feather the product down onto the eyelid, I then used my ring finger to blend it all together and set with powder using a F60 brush.

Shadows
Morphe - 350 Palette
Morphe - 350 Matte Palette
Sigma - E40 Tapered Blending Brush
Sigma - E35 Tapered Blending Brush
Sigma - E25 Blending Brush
Sigma - E45 Small Tapered Blending Brush
Sigma - F70 Concealer Brush
Sigma - E55 Eye Shading
Sigma - E20 Short Shader Brush 
For my transition shade I mixed shade 1 & 2 and apply this above and in the crease with a E40 brush. I then go over all of it using shade 3 with the same E40 brush to deepen the color. Next I took shade 4 using a E35 brush and applied this into the crease slightly blending it upwards, then going back in with my E40 brush with what ever is left on there and further blend to blow it all out. I then took shade 5 with a E25 brush and concentrated on putting this color in the crease just below shade 4 and on the inner and outer corners of the lids avoiding the center, I really wanted to make this color pop so I kept repeating this step to build the intensity. Once I was happy with the intensity I went back to my E35 brush with no additional product and blended it all in so there was no harsh lines. For my last shade I took shade 6 with a F70 brush and placed it right on the center of the lid, then used a E45 brush to blend it in with shade 5 keeping the sparkle concentrated in the center of the lid. For the lower lash line which I did after concealer I used shade 3 & 4 with a E55 brush not blending it to far down and focusing on the outer corners then used shade 5 with a E20 brush and really focused on getting that as close to the lash line as possible again focusing on the outer corners. Lastly I went back to my E45 brush and blended the lower lash line.



Lashes
Huda Beauty - Giselle Lashes #1
DUO - Strip Lash Adhesive
Benefit - They're Real Mascara
Maybelline - Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner
Sigma - E10 Small Eyeliner Brush
For lashes I first lined them with gel eyeliner and a E10 brush, I then applied my false lashes and used mascara to blend them with my own and to apply to my lower lashes.

FACE

Foundation
Make Up For Ever - Ultra HD in Amber
Real Techniques - Miracle Complexion Sponge
I applied 2-3 pumps of foundation to the back of my hand and use my fingers to dot it all over my face and neck, avoiding my under eye area I then blended using a beauty sponge.

Concealer
MAC - Pro Longwear Concealer in NC42
Urban Decay - Naked Skin Concealer in Med-Light
NYX - Highlight & Contour Pro Palette
Real Techniques - Miracle Complexion Sponge
Mixing concealers, I applied it to my under eyes and sides of nose using my ring finger then blended it all out with a beauty sponge also cleaning up and sharpening the outer corners of my eye shadow. Next I go straight into setting the under eyes so the concealer doesn't settle and crease, to do this I used the color cream to set using a beauty sponge again, while doing this I also set the center of my forehead, center of my chin and the center of my nose to highlight.

Contour
NYX - Matte Bronzer in Deep/Tan
NYX - Conceal, Correct, Contour Palette
Too Faced - Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
Sigma - F60 Foundation Brush
Sigma - F05 Small Contour Brush
Morphe - 458 1in Flat Contour Brush
To start off my contour I use shade 2 & 4 from the palette with a F60 brush to carve out my cheek bones then blended it out with a beauty sponge. I then warmed up the face using a warm toned bronzer and a F05 brush going around the outer sections of my face then lastly deepened the contour and set my cheeks using a cooler toned bronzer and a F05 brush. Using the same cooler toned bronzer I contour my nose using a M458 brush.

Blush
MAC - Powder Blush in Springsheen
Sigma - F40 Large Angled Contour Brush
For blush I applied it mainly on the apples of my cheeks blending it back into the contour using my F40 brush.

Highlight

To hightlight I first used the cream highlighter on the cheek bones and blended it in using a beauty sponge, I then applied the skin perfector over the top using a B8 brush also applying it to cupids bow and inner corners of my eyes.

LIPS

MAC - Lip Liner in Spice

For my lips, I first lined them to define the shape then applied my lipstick.

FINISH

Set
