Beauty Mark | Signature Autumn Beauty Look #5

By on • ( 13 Comments )

Whether you love summer or adore autumn, be inspired by this very cute, easy and flattering cool-and-warm look that comes with an eccentric little extra.

With face jewels, very edgy graphic eyeliners and (fairy ubiquitous) Harley Quinn make-up tutorials gaining momentum this year, my wish for edgy make-up becoming acceptable is finally coming true.

My Signature look is created with the summer-autumn transition in mind – last heatwaves meet first rainy days – it is inspired by the Indian summer colours cheering up the day among the prevailing cool, blue-laced shades of early September evenings.
I’ve picked cool baby blue, emerald green, cool brown, neutral nude for eyes and nails, and warm gold and coral-touched nude for cheeks and lips. It’s also a way to make very warm colours (here: golden highlighter) work for a very cool complexion.

Blue colour on the inner corners of the eyes, grey-brown colour on the crease, green khol pencil on the lower lashline. The Sante and Zao pencils I use blend like a dream and have a very modern, semi-metallic, semi-transparent shimmer. Fill in the brows and apply mascara. Paint on the beauty mark using an ultra fine liquid eye liner. Lip gloss is worn as tint (simply blot away the gloss, I know, why would you – but I just like the colour and don’t like the gloss texture on a warm day). Bronzing shimmer gel, a very warm, golden shade, is used as blush.look-with-sante-eyeshadow-sticks Can we stop for a moment to appreciate the sweet dusty pink jersey top by Lillika Eden? ❤manicure-nailberry-nude

    • Merci! ❤ I think indeed that my seasonal looks rarely reflect the season in terms of "typical" colour, but in terms of texture, they definitely do. Also I think washed out, blueish, cool powdery shades, isn't that the Summer type pat excellence? 😉

  8. What I like most about the make-up is that is looks so super natural. Really gorgeous and that it fits the nails and jersey top!

    Thanks for the nail lacquer picture. I wondered how Simplicity might look.

    • Simplicity looks like I had fake nails on 😉 I like the look though.

      I think/hope? this look works for women of any age. Cute for young girls, and soft and elegant enough for my mum to try.
