Apply Light Makeup for Fall
Effortless, great looking makeup for fall is something every woman can achieve with simple methods. This article will teach you how to apply suitable, light make up that works well for the fall season.
Steps
- Use a moisturizer. If you are applying makeup in the morning, your face can be dry after sleeping. Moisturizer protects the skin for the day and will give your skin a renewed and soft look. Do this before anything else.
- Use a mirror with the proper light. Find a room where the lighting does not make your face appear too pale or tan. Poor lighting can lead to putting too much of a darker or a lighter color than works for your complexion and tones. This can make your skin color seem pallid or overdone.
- Apply blush. Use just enough to make your whole face the same color, and to bring out the cheeks so they look naturally rosy. This will give your appearance a fresh and healthy appeal.
- Use brown or black eyeliner. Apply the eyeliner to the under part of your eye. It becomes too noticeable and penetrating when applied to the top of the eye.
- Add eyeshadow. Use a brown, gold, or a slightly reddish-orange eyeshadow. These colors pick up the fall color themes and are pleasantly muted without being too pale. Only apply the eyeshadow on the lower area of your eyelids, or again, it risks looking too overdone.
- If you do feel like experimenting though, try applying a thin layer of eyeshadow in and over the globe line. Check closely and from a distance in the mirror to appraise its enhancing value for your complexion before deciding to keep it or not.
- Add the lipstick and lip gloss (if using). Apply a thin layer of a quality, natural or earthy lipstick or lip gloss.
- Applying too much gloss can make your lips stand out more than needed, which is not appealing.
- Apply a darker color to the lips if your eyeshadow is light, and a lighter color to the lips if the eyeshadow is slightly heavy. This creates a pleasant and balanced contrast.
- Add the mascara and eyeliner. Brown is a good color to use for the fall season, but black can do as well. Apply a thin layer of eyeliner in the wet area under your eyes, and the corners if you prefer. Apply mascara as you normally like it. Your makeup look for fall is now complete––simple, elegant and neither understated nor overstated.
Tips
- Make sure you moisturize your face immediately after you wash it. If not, your skin will be too dry. It will also produce oils and potentially cause breakouts.
- Remember to wash your face and remove all makeup when you go to sleep. Not doing so can result in acne, redness, sensitive skin, and an increase in future wrinkles.
- Before you put on any makeup, make sure that your face is clear from the day prior.
Warnings
- If you suffer allergic skin reactions to anything, stay away from it. Discuss the issues with a doctor or dermatologist on the brands of makeup you can use that will not cause a bad reaction on your skin.
