I really do love Fall, especially in New York City. There are so many seasonal events, hidden parks, and unique experiences you can only enjoy for a few months each year. I love sweater weather, scarves, comfort food, leather boots, and coffee in my favorite mug. But I need to confess, there is one thing I have trouble getting excited about. It is Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The warm cozy Fall in a cup just does not do it for me.
But in my makeup!? That’s a different story. I love Pumpkin Spice makeup — the famous mix of spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
First prep your skin with your favorite moisturizer ( recommend SPF) and let's dive in!
Start with priming your lids to help eye makeup go on smoother and last longer. Use a fluffy brush and a light shade as a transition into the crease.
Apply a slightly darker shade into the crease using a blending brush
( use a fluffy blending brush after each step to make sure everything is seamless)
Then apply a dark shade ( deep orange or brown) to the outer corner of the eyelid. Blend and build it up until it's as vibrant as you want it to be.
With the wet/dry eye brush apply shimmer eyeshadow to the center and inner third of the lids, taking it close to the inner corners. You want to make sure to blend everything in the outer corner for a smooth transition.
Using the crease and blend brush, apply darker shade eyeshadow across the lower lash line. Blend out using windshield-wiping motions all the way across.
Time for a liner! Apply dark brown or black eyeliner pencil to the lash line, then use a brush to smooth it out after applying and wing it out a bit.
Add your favorite mascara and a quick brush to your eyebrows
Enjoy your smokin-hot Pumpkin Spice Latte Makeup look!
