Why this worksWarm autumn hues like burnt oranges, deep reds, and soft browns enhance the natural warmth of your features. These shades not only evoke the essence of the season but also complement various skin tones beautifully. By layering and blending these colours, you can create depth and dimension, making your eyes pop while keeping the overall look soft and inviting.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Eyelids Start with a clean eyelid, then apply an eyeshadow primer to help the colours stick and last longer. This step also prevents creasing, ensuring your look stays fresh throughout the day.
  2. Choose Your Base Shade Opt for a soft beige or light brown as your base. Apply it all over your eyelid up to the brow bone to create a neutral foundation for the warmer shades.
  3. Layer Warm Shades Select a warm burnt orange or terracotta shade and apply it to your eyelid, blending it into the crease. This will add warmth and dimension, essential for that autumnal vibe.
  4. Define with Darker Tones Use a deeper brown or burgundy to define the outer corner of your eye. Blend it into the crease to enhance the depth of your look, creating a smoky effect that’s perfect for fall.
  5. Finish with Highlight Add a shimmery gold or champagne shade to the inner corner of your eyes and under the brow bone. This will brighten your eyes and create a lovely contrast with the warm tones.
  6. Complete the Look Finish with mascara and your favourite eyeliner. For an added touch, consider a warm-toned eyeliner for a cohesive look.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the primer, which can lead to patchy application and creasing. Others may apply too much product at once, making blending difficult. Lastly, forgetting to highlight can leave the look feeling flat and unfinished.

The pro moveTry using your fingers to apply shimmer shades for better intensity and blendability.
