Fall beauty routine

/ Analucascardigos / 14 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

As you begin updating your wardrobe for fall, don’t forget about your beauty routine! When the temperatures start to cool down, there a certain changes I make to my skincare and makeup.

Image result for fall photos

Whether it’s Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter; our skin needs special attention.

In Autumn the air starts becoming dryer and cooler.

Moisturize, protect and prepare the skin is very important for me….

As the air becomes drier, your skin needs a thicker moisturizer. Creams provide a stronger oily barrier, which means they both reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin and provide hydration. Applying moisturizer on your face and body is very important. On my face, I apply in the morning and evening, and on my body I like to apply after shower or bath.

Makeup

For eyeshadow, I like to swap out some of corals and pinks for some deep reds, burgundy, orange and brown shade.

Lips

Hydrating my lips is a must for me not only on fall but all year.

Trade your bright pink lipsticks for nude, berry, or red tones, add a bold lip colour to your daily makeup look. I like to use deep red or even brown lipsticks. I’m loving, brown lip colours for fall.

Hope you enjoyed reading and have a great week 🙂
