The Autumn Look : Chocolate Eyes with a Red Lip


Following on from the autumn edit I presented yesterday, here is the seasonal look I created with those products. I feel like rich reds and warm colours like that are perfect for autumn, and while I usually do a green and orange look for autumn, this year I wanted to do something different, and do my usual ‘fall’ look later on.
 

For this look I chose the ‘crease’ shade from the Wet & Wild ‘Knock on Wood’ palette and placed it all over the lid, with Arbonne’s Cabernet* through the crease. These colours seem that they were made for one another and I adore the look that these shadows create. The Wet & Wild crease shade is a deep shimmery chocolate that is just stunning on the lid, unfortunately the brand is not available in Australia (surprise surprise!) but eBay will help you out if you are interested in trying out some Wet & Wild cosmetics.

A tiny flick of Australis The Curve Ink* and generous coats of Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara finished off the eye, while some Benefit Dallas on the cheeks helped bring warmth to my face. I used BYS matte lipstick in Celebrity Status* really vamp up the look, but I think this would look great with a nude beige lip, with something like Clinique’s Whole Lotta Honey chubby stick.
 

Does this look feel autumnal to you? I don’t know about you all, but I tend to embrace each season as a reason to branch out in my makeup looks, and this deep chocolate eye and red lip is definitely something different for me.

      I think you should rock a smoky chocolate eye next time I see you! I wanted to wear the headscarf to change it up a bit, glad you like it.

  7. As always...GORGEOUS!!! I'm loving the smokey browns - makes us look less like we've just had our eyes punched in! Or maybe that's just me? :p

    1. @Norlin Thank you!! Haha can't say I've had my eyes punched in lately, I would probably go for YSL Touch Éclat if that was the problem, but I know what you mean, smokey chocolate eyes are pretty damn flattering :)
