What fall means to me personally, is red wine; classical music; pumpkin spice scented candles; snuggling up with my dog and a good book; and working on various art projects.
What this means to me as a makeup artist, is eye shadows in smoldering browns, coopers, crushed gold; dark burgundy shades sitting atop brown eyes; plums, deep reds, and neutral colors on lips; and turning in coral and pink hues of blush for tones in dusty rose, and warm nutty browns.
I’m always a fan of matching the colors on one’s face to the colors surrounding them. It’s nice to channel the season we are all experiencing, and represent its colors. Not only is it visually appealing, but it’s a nice way to connect with, and complement, your surroundings.
Autumn also encourages us to swap our perfume scent for the season; switch up the fabrics and colors in our wardrobe; and change our hair to incorporate shades of brown, red, copper, and blonde. Lots of our female clients have been going back to dark, and adding low lights in rich, warm tones. It’s fun to get back to deeper shades – a change that always makes the eyes pop! Combine this change in hair color, along with different eye shadow tones, and boom: instant autumn makeover!
So, dig through your makeup bags and look for fall colors to wear throughout the next couple months. Look at the colors around you to find inspiration for your next hair appointment, and call us to help get you started. Not only can we change your hair color, but you can book a color consult for makeup to play around, and get advice on which fall colors are the best for your specific skin tone.
