The Beauty Team’s Autumn Make-Up Must-Haves

“Autumn calls for a fresh foundation and mascara. I'm loving UKLash's Tubing Mascara. It's clump-free and the thin wand reaches all those little lashes at the inner and outer corners. Plus, it comes off easily – unlike some tubing formulas. For foundation, Westman Atelier's newest launch is worth the splurge. It covers and conceals uneven tone, leaving behind a dewy, luminous finish. I've had multiple compliments on my skin since wearing it. 

“Speaking of complexion-enhancers, Giorgio Armani's new Multi-Use Blush Sticks are perfect if you just want some gentle warmth and definition. They're fun to use, with a chunky design that makes them easy to scribble on and go. For brows, Lisa Eldridge's Kitten Brow is great for taming unruly hairs and creating a laminated effect, while Milk Makeup's new Line + Fill gives lips some soft definition with a pigment that lasts for hours and stops lipstick from bleeding. Lastly, Victoria Beckham's Sculpt & Blend Brush has earned a permanent spot in my make-up bag. It works with liquids, powders and creams, giving everything a nicely buffed-in look while helping to prevent creasing and pilling.”

“This time of year is historically when brands drop lots of new launches, so we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to fantastic formulas. One such product is Fara Homidi’s mascara: jet black, it gives lovely definition without too much drama, so it’s perfect for day-to-day wear. Vieve’s concealer is also ticking all the boxes. Lightweight but with good coverage, it’s stretchy and doesn’t sit in fine lines. It really seems to nourish and brighten under the eyes too. I’m rejoicing at the return of individual eyeshadows; find me a person who has ever finished an entire palette? Saie’s selection of shades is perfect, with my favourite being ‘Amaretto’, a reddish-brown. As my summer tan fades, I’m relying on bronzing drops, with Dr Sturm’s being a new favourite, as they have a nice blurring effect on the skin. For the final touches of colour, I’m loving the new NARS liquid blush and Victoria Beckham’s lip liners.”

As we move into autumn, I’m increasingly drawn to definition and richer tones. Tom Ford’s Eye Color Quad in 'Burnished Haze' is exactly the kind of palette I reach for at this time of year – smoky, bronzed and sophisticated. I’ll pair it with ILIA’s eyeliner in 'Flourish', which gives the eyes a softer, more flattering look than a stark black. I still want my skin to look fresh – which is where Morphe’s bronzing serum comes in. It adds believable warmth that stops my complexion from looking too flat. The Armani Luminous Silk Concealer is similarly useful for adding coverage without weight. It's lightweight, seamless and ideal for brightening and evening out the skin without masking it. For colour, Votary has launched its new Lip & Cheek Tint. It gives you that soft, naturally flushed finish, while the Danessa Myricks Lip Gloss adds a juicy hit of colour and shine.
