Face: Apply a light layer of MAC's Select SPF 15 Foundation to even out skin tones. If you have dark under eye circles or blemishes, cover with a lightweight concealer like Almay's Smart Shade concealer. It's a new product I've found recently and I love it! The application is simple, just use your finger to dab concealer onto skin and watch as it adjusts it's color to match yours. Lastly, apply a eyelid primer to your lids, under the brow and near the tear ducts. Let dry.

Cheeks: I found an amazing highlighter called That Gal by BeneFit that is the perfect addition to add to your nose and cheekbones. It gives a natural beaming glow to areas its applied to, it's my favorite new product of them all. Next, apply a liquid or creme blush like MAC's BlushCreme in a soft orange hue. The BlushCreme can be applied using your fingers or a brush. MAC's #109 Full Face brush is an amazing application tool that allows blush to appear as a natural flush. It gives you full control over color and blend. Apply onto apples and cheekbones.

Eyes: Shaping your eyebrows is an ideal way to define and enhance your eyes. The BeneFit Brow Zings Shaping kit is perfect and comes with everything you'd need. Eyebrow wax can be applied with an angle brush (included in kit) to shape brows while the powder and rounded brush lock in shape and fills in color. Tweezers are optional to handle any little strays. Next, apply a neutral beige eyeshadow all over eyelid. A darker brown can be used in the crease of your eyes, softly, no dark smudges!! Finally, a highlight color in an orange tone can be used on the lower lid and blend into crease. Use this highlight color to tie the bottom lash line into the rest of the eyes. I used MAC's Bamboo, Romp and Rust shadows. Finally, add a layer of curling and separating mascara like CoverGirl's Lash Blast Fusion Mascara.

To Finish: Apply a light layer of lip moisturizer or lipstick in a peach color. Oranges are the next big thing in lipcolor, so hop on this bus now instead of later. It's important to search out a shade that compliments your skin tone. End with a light dusting of powder to set the look. I'd recommend MAC Studio Fix Transparent Powder.
It's a beautiful, clean Autumn look and I'm in love with all my new products. I'd suggest each one. If you're looking for more drama, I'd suggest using a brown eyeliner on the top lash line as well as a brighter toned lip stick. Maybe one with a brown/orange hue.
Hope you enjoy! xxoo Chelsea
