Get Ready With Me! Fall Edition

Hi Everyone! I'm patiently waiting for my favorite time of year to roll around, so with that came a few new FALL-Y purchases...hehe. Today, you can get ready with me! I'll be showing you my step by step fall inspired makeup routine, as well as two outfits that are really fun for the beginning of fall!

Lets get started!

Here's my blank canvas. AKA my face without make up. (I can NOT believe I am showing you guys my makeup-less face! Give me some kudos for this, please)

First we will start off with the Benefit Porefessional Primer. Put a minimal amount on your makeup brush and swipe it all over your face!

Next, apply your foundation. Today I am going with Estee Lauder's Double Wear Foundation in "Cool Bone."

Afterwards, just for extra coverage in my trouble spots I applied a bit of Benefits Boi-ing 01.

Then to set the foundation, I used Benefits Flawless Finishing Powder in "I love me."

After foundation and powder. Getting a bit better! Phew!

Now, we're moving onto brows! What I'm using today is OFRA Universal Brow Pencil in Brown.

Once you've properly filled in your brows, move onto contouring with me! Today I'm using my all time favorite - Too Faced in Chocolate Soleil. It smells like chocolate, its so soft, and I am so very obsessed with it.

After contouring my cheekbones, brow bones, and jawline, I put some highlight to create a sharper contour. For this I'm using a general highlighter that you can buy at your local department store.

What your face should look like before blending your contour makeup. ;) Funky, eh?

I'm using a Sephora Blending brush for this --

Once your makeup is completely blended, apply a bit of NARS "Orgasm" to the apples of your cheeks.

After all that work, it should end up looking like this!

NEXT PHASE! EYES! I am using the NAKED2 Palette. For this, apply the color snake bite on your lid. Afterwards, on the inner corner apply Halfbaked. On the outercrease create a crescent shape on your lid with Busted. Once you've blended those colors together, I took out my Clinique Palette and used a simple eggplant purple. The NAKED2 Palette doesn't have a purple, so hopefully you have that type of shade nearby! The final "shadow" product should look something like this:

I am lining my eyes with Jordana Fat Black n Bold Eyeliner. I love this stuff. Afterwards, I am lining my bottom waterline with Urban Decays "Goldmine." This liner looks REALLY lovely with the half baked golden shimmer on your lid. 

Afterwards, I am using MakeUp Forever Mascara and applying that to my lashes.

Your eyes should look like this:

LIPS! To go with that eggplant shadow on your eye, I've got this lovely deep purple lipstick from Revlon in Black Cherry. Apply this with a lip brush -- you'll get better coverage and its much easier to create the perfect lip lines with it.

After applying the lipstick, to add to that golden fall- like element, I've chosen to put a bit of liquid gold shimmer in the center of my lips. I applied this with a makeup brush as well, for even coverage. (Don't get scared, I know this looks orange, but its not -- just the lighting of the photo!)

Final Lip Look:

All together, this is what your face should look like! :)

Now, lets move onto clothes, shall we?! Today I've chosen two outfits - one a bit more casual, and the other more amped up. 

This look shown below is the more "amped up," outfit: 

Top: Ruffled Maroon Blouse from NY & Co! 50% off

Jeans: Average Dark Wash Skinny Jeans from NY & Co for 50% off

Shoes: Steve Madden Brown Wedges from Lord & Taylor on sale for $25.00

Accessories: Michael Kors Bag, Rose Gold Watch, and Alex & Ani Bracelets.

For our next more casual look, we have this:

Top: Oversized White Sleeveless Tank from H&M

Bottoms: Black Jean "Jeggings" from NY & Co for %50 off

Shoes: Black Leather Gladiator Pumps from Macy's (I think? These shoes are really old)

Accessories: Black Shoulder bag from H&M, Alex and Ani Bracelets. 

I'm sure once the weather gets a bit more crisp, a fun infinity scarf could really pull this look together.

Thats it folks! Hope you enjoyed this blog! If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below! Also, if you liked this post, feel free to comment below!
