As you can see from my previous post, The Face Of Fall, I’m getting pretty pumped about the upcoming cooler weather beauty looks despite the blazing hot temps here in Athens. So how does one start transitioning into one of my favorite fall looks, the dark vampy lip??
Ease into it with a cranberry colored gloss!!
What I wore with my cranberry lips :
This gloss looks a lot darker and raisin-like in the tube, so I was pretty surprised when it came out a big more warm red, but I love it. Wearing a gloss that isn’t as matte and opaque as the aforementioned vampy lip gives you a bit more wiggle room in wearing it now as we transition from summer to winter.
I probably sound like a broken record, but I like keeping my eyes much more simple when I wear a darker lip, so I just used a few eyeshadow shades from my UD2 palette (specifically “booty call” in the tear duct, “half baked” in the center of the lid, and “pistol” on the outer corners) with no eyeliner and lots of mascara. I wore a BB cream to keep my skin looking more fresh and not so makeup-y, and a warmer than usual blush inside of my usual bright corals and pinks of summer!
I also just relived my teenage years and did this…
I got my second earring hole re-pierced. I did the same thing back in high school and honestly whoever did it did a horrible job in putting the 2nd hold way to close to the first one (one of those mall kiosk places I think). I decided to just let them close back up in college because I was always so annoyed with the way they looked. I obviously love everything girly and adorning myself with makeup and accessories, so I figured 4 earrings are better than 2!! Ha ha ha!! I went to Claire’s and was probably a good 20 years older than the other patrons in there, but I knew that the employees there have to have training on piercing ears before they can do it, so I felt like this time I would get it right. Luckily, they are now perfectly placed and I love them. (My bigger iridescent stud Kendra Scott earrings here in case you were curious.)
What is your favorite way to transition into fall beauty looks?
