How to make the fall make-up look work for you
Fall is here and it’s the best time to play around with your makeup bag. Are you imagining darker colours? How about darker make-up?
There are many fall trends in make-up looks and it’s pretty simple to make them work for you. Yasmine Ab, 26, a self-taught make-up artist working at Sephora said there are three fall trends to follow this year.
- Bold lips
- Feathered brows
- Graphic liners
All of which should include the fall colours. “Fall is all about being bold while introducing gold, bronze and glitters, as the holidays are fast approaching,” Ab said.
Ab also said berry and brown shades on the lips or the eyes are perfect for that warming effect. They also give definition and a rich look to the face. But how does it work for you? Ab said learning the shape of your face will make it much easier to get your best look.
“When it comes to the perfect winged or graphic liner, practice makes perfect! But also when it comes to bold fall looks, it’s all about smokey, sultry brown eyes and berry lip trends,” Ab said. “Learn the shape of your eyes and how to best perfect a halo eye look, and sharpen the lips for a more polished look. Practice makes perfect and social media has made it that much easier to learn!”
Make-up is not the only part of getting that fall trend look to work for you. Taking care of your skin is part of the process.
“With the cold winter months fast approaching, I can’t stress enough the importance of hydrating your skin and incorporating a full skin regimen into your day,” Ab said. “Make up is so much fun, and can be so versatile, but your skin is forever.”
Other people also struggle with skin troubles. Samantha Sperduti, 18, a lover of cosmetology was surrounded by the beauty world. Having her mother work at the beauty department at the Bay gave her the chance to experiment with different make-up products. The only problem Sperduti dealt with is her sensitive skin.
“I have to be careful with my foundations,” Sperduti said, “I use a couple products I know won’t break me out.”
Having the chance to play around with make-up, Sperduti said the fall look is definitely her favourite.
“It’s the best season to experiment!” Sperduti said.
So this fall, go with bold colours, learn the shape of your face, hydrate your skin and check out social media to follow new trends. Make-up is the best when you play around and experience it, so go and enjoy it.
