My daily makeup look always tends to be on the natural-side. I like to add a bit more colour to my look without ever appearing made-up. Especially during the fall and winter seasons, my skin seems to need a bit more colour to liven up my look since my skin can take on a pale ashy appearance.
When I think of fall beauty, my mind typically wanders to bold dark lips, and rich shadow palettes of eggplant purple, copper, and gold. But for me, that’s just not wearable every single day. Instead, I like to go with a look that’s a bit more reminiscent of the “no makeup” makeup.
Natural Everyday Makeup Look Tutorial
PRODUCTS:
- Vichy Matte BB Clear (I mix Light & Medium for my
perfect shade) - Bare Minerals Mineral Veil
- Hourglass Blush in Mood Exposure
- UD Naked Basics Palette (colours used are: Venus, Foxy, W.O.S, Naked 2, Faint)
- MAC Cosmetics Fluidline Eyeliner in Rich Ground
- Maybelline Sensational Lash Mascara
- UD Revolution Lipstick in Naked2
FACE:
To start, I apply Vichy’s Matte BB cream. This is a very light coverage BB cream which I quite like. I never wear medium or full coverage foundations since I have freckles and I like them to peak through. I mainly like to use foundation to add a bit more of a healthy colour to my skin.
For fall, I really love the look of matte skin which is exactly the finish Vichys BB cream provides. To set the BB cream, I then use Bare Minerals mineral veil. I love this mineral veil, and I actually have often just worn it alone to give my skin a more even and oil-free appearance.
To add a bit of rosiness to my look I turn to my Hourglass Blush in Mood Exposure. This blush is a really beautiful plum-toned blush. During these cooler months, I love to wear colours that are a bit deeper so colours and this plummy-pink blush is perfect for adding a bit more richness to my makeup look.
EYES:
I tend to keep my eyes pretty simple year round. My favourite palette to achieve a bright and warm eye look is the Urban Decay NakedBasics Palette. I use the two lighter colours (W.O.S is pink toned, and the other “Fox” is yellow toned) to prime my eyes and immediately brighten them.
I use the chocolate brown colour called “Faint” in the eye crease, and the softer light brown called “Naked 2” to blend it with the lighter lid colours. Venus is the frosted white shadow which I use the on my inner eye and brow bone area to really brighten up my eyes.
I wear eyeliner year round, but sometimes I find that black liner can look heavy on me especially during the fall and winter seasons when my skin can look quite fair. One eyeliner that I always have on hand is MACCosmetics Fluidline in Rich Ground.
This eyeliner is a copper toned brown liner with a metallic finish. Lastly, I never leave the house without adding on a touch of mascara. I have always been a fan of Maybelline mascaras as they are really inexpensive and provide a really dramatic lash look.
LIPS
To finish off this look I turn to one of my favourite lipsticks, Naked2 by Urban Decay. I love Urban Decay lipsticks because they are incredibly moisturizing. They have a slightly shiny finish to them which helps disguise chapped lips, which is something I struggle with during the fall and winter (in-fact I shared a Dry Lips Remedy here). This colour is a peach tone nude lipstick.
Hi Bree!
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day 🙂 I have to say…I really try not to wear a lot of makeup because I hate the idea of my pores clogging up but it always looks so pretty when I see other people reviewing items! The blush that you used is just amazing..I love that color!!

Hey Jenn! I totally agree, I pretty much reserve face makeup (like BB creams, Foundations, and Mineral Veils) for when I need a bit more of a refreshed and professional look, like when I have meetings or something important going on at the office. I really like to let my skin breathe too!
You have such lovely skin. I am glad you don't use heavy coverage. Gorgeous!
