Trend: Deep Purple Lips

I love a purple lip and I've found a really beautiful, wearable shade that feels chic and glam.

Pro Tip
Always line your lips when wearing a bold lip colour to stop feathering and create a clean, crisp outline. For a dimensional look, line your lips with a slightly darker colour concentrated on the outer corners of the mouth.

 I wore make up very similar to this on New Years Eve with a fitted leather dress and geometric earrings for an edgier evening look!

Haha, goodnight!

Starry Eyes

I really love the dimension that "bracketing" your eyeshadow gives. The touch of light in the centre of the eye really makes the eyes pop and sparkle when wearing a sultry smokey eye. And what better way to do it than in my favourite Fall shadow colour? Navy!

Pro Tip
Dark matte colours can be tricky to blend and have some fall down. Take your time building colour and try doing your eye makeup before foundation for easy clean up. Ensure you have a great concealer to keep the under eyes looking fresh and bright!

Wine Stained Lips

I absolutely love berry lips for Fall - especially when they're perfectly paired with a set of fluttery flasies!

Carefully outline your lipstick with concealer as a finishing touch to achieve a sharp, crisp line when wearing bold lip colours!

Graphic Navy and Ice

As the Fall season quickly approaches I've found myself completely obsessed with navy shadow and really enjoyed combining it with two of my other favourite things for this look - graphic lines and glitter!

This look was just for fun and was a great practice for my line work, blending, and symmetry!
