Make Up Games and Autumn


As the fall season rolls around, cooler temperatures and darker clothing will become the norm. Making changes to your autumn wardrobe is not enough. You need to plan ahead by changing your make up games as well.

Autumn make up is usually defined by earth tones and bold color choices. Wearing make up in the autumn usually means you don’t have to worry as much about sweating the make up off as you do in the summertime and you’ll also need to consider cooler weather and how to apply your make up.

When the cooler weather comes, many people experience drier skin thanks to heaters and lower humidity, so be sure to apply heavy moisturizers before bed (after cleaning your face) and a light-weight moisturizer in the morning before putting on your makeup.

Keeping your skin moist will allow your make up to sit correctly without getting a dry, caked look. Make up on dry, irritated skin can also cause rashes, so pay close attention to the state of your skin each morning. You might need to opt out of powder and base if your skin is irritated.
