As the weather has been
getting colder in the past couple of months, I have found myself reaching for a
different range of beauty products compared to the summer months. I like to go
for a darker lip and a smokier eye in the colder months so I thought I would
share with you my top 5 beauty products for autumn/winter.
I know, I know, I use this
all year round but I find that a good powder is really useful in the colder
months. I always find that when it is colder outside my concealer tends to 'slide'
more off my face and I used to find myself reapplying it quite frequently (especially more
than in summer). I say ‘used to’ because this powder now does the job for me.
It is amazing at setting your makeup in place, stopping it from sliding with the
cold air, and also helps to give a nice light coverage on your skin which is
great if you’re like me and don’t wear foundation on a regular basis.
Collection Bronze Glow

As there is no natural way
of getting a tan in autumn/winter (there’s no sun!), I find a bronzer comes in
handy to make it seem like you’re a bronzed goddess. I particularly like this
bronzer as it has a range of different shades which suit all different skin
tones and also helps to create a really natural glow (nobody wants to look
orange do they?!). It is also great for contouring to define your cheekbones
and is the perfect item for that subtle, natural autumn/winter tan.
MUA ‘undress me too’ eye
shadow palette- link here
I have only recently found
this product, but I have been reaching for it ever since and I know
that I will continue to do so. Every shade that is needed for the perfect
autumn/winter smoky eye is included in this palette. It is great for creating
natural eye looks and for really heavy looks- perfect for autumn and winter.
Lip balms are 100% the
thing that I find most useful at this time of year. I do tend to have quite dry
lips in general, and the colder weather just makes it worse so I find myself
being attached to a lip balm for about 4 months. I’m a fan of the whole Baby
Lips range, but when I specifically want a moisturising balm (at this time of
year basically), I find the colourless ones the best as for some reason they
feel the best on my lips. I like to keep reapplying this throughout the day to
try to stop my lips ever feeling dry and dehydrated and this one definitely
does the trick.
Avon Colour Trend Lipstick
in ‘Lucky Kiss’- link here
My autumn and winter lipstick
love. I love any dark lipsticks in these seasons but for some reason I have
been constantly grabbing this one as my go to lip colour. It is primarily a red
based lipstick however it has a bit of brown running through it to make it more
of a rusty looking red (sounds horrible but trust me it looks amazing), and
also has a tiny bit of shimmer in it which almost reminds me of christmas (I
have no idea why). It is in no way drying on the lips and it also stays on for
long periods of time which is another added bonus.
