Autuminal makeup

I have wrote a lot about Autumn in the most recent posts I have wrote, and I know there havn't been too many recently due to me being busier than usual, however I will try my hardest to write more!
Autumn is such a great time for a new colour scheme, new hair and new beauty regiemes, afterall your skin and face are tested at this time of year.
This post therefore is one dedicated to new makeup looks which look especially great in the winter months. Most peoples peception of this however is that the new season means you have to wear browns and blacks and that the bright colours of Spring and Summer are long gone, this doesnt have to be the case.
The best colours for Autumn this year are berry, gold and green. They are still autuminal but they are definately not boring!

I like the colour itensity here, this could easily be tamed down for everyday.
Heres a look for everyone simple eyes with lots of mascara and a berry lip toned from outside in to give real depth. This can easily be achieved by adding layers of lipstick and blotting with tissue.

A walk down a country track!

One of the biggest trends this Autumn/Winter is the Heritage trend. The Heritage trend is all about the countryside and horse riding gear. Its a trend based on urban colours of brown,green and berry.
The heritage trend is also about quilted jackets, horse riding boots and wooly knits. The prints to match the trend are dogtooth and tweed, a proper English trend!
I have found a real mix of good heritage buys from Matalan. They have everything covered from cheap quilted jackets, to a whole range of boots and brilliant accesaries all for a great price!From www.matalan.co.uk
I have made my own moodboard to show all of the great buys, hope you enjoy!
