BEAUT Y
WORDS BY DAISY DICKINSON
over shadow in the centre of your eyelid, and smooth out. The perfect palette for stashing in your bag, the Nyx Ultimate palette in Phoenix (£16, Boots) is packed with autumnal shades to see you through the season. Hot tip: if you want to add punch to light shades like the yellow in this palette, invest in a white liner, like Nyx Slim Eyeliner Pencil in White (£3.50, Boots), or use concealer carefully patted over lids to act as a priming base, before packing the colour over the top with a finger or fluffy brush. Who doesn’t love a Naked palette from Urban Decay? The Naked Heat (£42, John Lewis) doesn’t disappoint. This is a great eyeshadow palette for those who want to warm up their look without getting too spicy, with subtle, wearable shades. If lippie is more your thing, fear not – there are some stunning shades for the golden season. I would encourage you to be brave and go for something bold. Too Faced Melted Matte Gingerbread Man is the one, if you can find it, but this coveted shade is often sold out, so try (ironically) Sell Out and Lady Balls mixed together for a hack (£19 each, Asos). Nyx Liquid Suede Cream
eptember is one of my favourite months for many reasons. Beautiful, balmy late-summer evenings and the warming glow of the landscape
turning an autumnal hue, making the seasonal colour palette pop. And for me, warm tones in make-up are everything. Typically, the ‘rules’ say if you have brown eyes, you’re lucky in that most eyeshadow colours will suit you. It’s as simple as using the colour wheel and choosing colours opposite your own, so opt for deep purple, bronze or gold to make brown eyes bright, and for blue eyes, rich browns and terracotta will work well for you. Green eyes are said to be the rarest colour of them all, and to make them stand out, red sits opposite on the wheel. If that siren shade is too much, go for dark pinks and maroons. Zoeva is known for its pigmented palettes, and the Voyager Matte Eyeshadow Palette (£14, cultbeauty.co.uk) is the perfect starter palette if you’re new to warm shades. Use Across the Street as a transition shade in the hood, and blend the top three colours across the lid for a sultry look. Use a thin brush to buff Chat Late At Night under the outer corner of your bottom lashes for a little more vamp. I’m a big fan of a shimmer to really add fuel to fiery shades, and Huda Beauty is really packing the petrol. Pick up one of the Obsessions palettes from Cult Beauty for £25 each, and you’ll find nine shades including mattes and shimmers. Use a damp finger to press the shimmer shades
THE ONE THAT I WANT Beautiful packaging, cruelty free and vegan. Lime Crime is smashing it when it when it comes to creative make-up. The Lime Crime Venus palette (£34, cultbeauty.co.uk) is the winner for warm shades. With eight outrageously pigmented shades, including rustic reds, browns, burgundies and pretty, pinky nudes – you’ll be set for the season.
Lipstick in Orange County (£7, Boots) is pumpkin perfect, and for a more sultry smile opt for Kat Von D in Exorcism (£17, Debenhams), which is long-lasting and freakishly good.
