Fall into Fun: An Autumn Makeover with Delilah Cosmetics
Fall into Fun: An Autumn Makeover with Delilah Cosmetics
Autumn, with its crisp air and rustling leaves, has an undeniable allure. It's a season that beckons us to cosy up with a warm cup of tea, don our favourite sweaters, and, of course, revamp our beauty routines. In this autumn beauty edit, we will be exploring the trends, colours, and products from Delilah Cosmetics that will help us embrace the elegance of this enchanting season.
As we delve into this edit, we'll uncover the secrets to achieving a radiant autumn complexion, discover the most captivating makeup looks for autumn get-togethers, and explore the make-up must-haves that will evoke the very essence of this season. So, prepare to be enchanted by the beauty of autumn, as we guide you through the must-haves and must-dos to elevate your autumnal beauty game!
Ready, Set, Glow: Prepping Your Canvas
Before diving into the delightful world of Delilah Cosmetics, let's prepare your skin for the ultimate autumn transformation. We prepped the face first with Delilah Under Wear Future Resist Skin Primer which creates the perfect base for long-lasting make-up. Next, we used Delilah Wake Up Radiant Skin Tint - Shade Opal, this lightweight wonder provides gorgeous sheer coverage while keeping your skin youthful and radiant, even in the face of autumn's chill. To add depth and colour, we used Delilah Sunset Compact Matte Bronzer - Shade Light Medium, this bronzer provided fantastic cheek definition without looking heavy.
Eyes That Sparkle
We wanted a gorgeous smoky fall look, so opted for the Delilah Colour Intense Eyeshadow Palette in Damsel - This palette offers a mix of earthy browns, shimmering golds, and deep burgundies with some neutral shades too. Whether you're aiming for a daytime cosy chic look or a night-time bewitching vibe, these shades are perfect for creating whatever look you are going for.
This is how we created the perfect autumn smoky eye look using the Damsel Palette:
Starting with "Spirit," a soft, neutral base colour, and apply it across your entire eyelid to create a smooth canvas. Next, transition to "Honour," a slightly deeper hue, and blend it into the crease to add depth and dimension. Now, intensify the drama with "Spell" a rich, smoky bronze colour, applied along the upper and lower lash lines, smudging it gently for that sultry allure. Finally, for the pièce de résistance, sweep "Entice," a deep chocolate shade, onto the outer corners, creating a gradient effect.
For an added layer of depth, we used Stay The Night Shadow Stick - Shade Cinnamon Swirl to finish off framing the eyes, using a thin eye shadow brush for a more defined look, which added a stunning smoky copper liner to the upper and lower lash lines. Or, if you fancy trying the three beautiful shades of offer, they offer a kit Stay The Night Shadow Stick Collection.
Lengthen Those Lashes!
The Delilah Definitive Volumising and Defining Mascara is your go-to magic wand for creating flawless lashes. The formulation contains a stretchable film that helps lengthen each lash while olive waxes give a soft, voluminous look. No clumping or sticking, just long, lengthy lashes!
Lips as Juicy as Autumn Berries
Autumn means lips should be as bold as the season itself. We used Delilah's Colour Intense Cream Lipstick in shades Honesty and Hush for a subtle ombre effect. These lipsticks bring long-lasting colour and hydration. No more chapped lips during pumpkin picking season!
Sealing the Autumn Deal
To make sure your autumn makeover stands the test of time (and the elements), finish it off with the Delilah Pure Light Compact Illuminating Powder. It's like a little bit of fairy dust that sets your makeup while giving you a radiant, ethereal glow.
