Autumn Daily Makeup Routine for Work - 2020

Autumn Wardrobe Update

Autumn is here at last and I am really enjoying the chance to swap out my summer clothes and style my Autumn wardrobe again. The temperature has certainly dropped recently, but I’ve been loving the chance to layer up and wear my big coats.

I recently came across Katch Me; an online fashion store, and I jumped at the chance to add a couple of autumn pieces from their website to my wardrobe. I was lucky enough to be gifted* some items from Katch Me, and with mixed success, here are the stunning pieces I got –

Check out Katch Me’s full range of Milkmaid Dresses.

I’d imagined this dress paired with biker boots and a leather jacket for the autumn/ winter, however, unfortunately this Cream Leopard Print Milkmaid Dress was just too small for me. Leopard Print, and the Milkmaid style, is something I’d been eager to experiment with, but unfortunately a size 12 in this was just a tad too optimistic. Fortunately for me, it did fit my sister, who is a size 12, who paired the dress with black ankle boots.

If you fancy experimenting with prints in the form of a milkmaid dress, it’s definitely worth sizing up, as there was no give in the fabric of this dress.

We've officially reached Autumn,  that part of the year when we can finally start wrapping up in coats and scarves again and swap back to our winter wardrobes. More importantly, however, is the switching up of our make-up for the cooler seasons. Although I tend to rely on the same handful of makeup products that I can trust not to let me down when the leaves fall ( see those makeup favourites here ), there have been some new additions to my make-up bag recently that I felt it'd be rude not to share.

The first I feel deserves a mentions is the L'Oreal True Match Foundation. A light-weight yet dewy foundation, this matches my skin perfectly and leaves me looking fresh faced even when the weather is dreary. This has great longevity but do be prepared to powder unless you want to go all-out glow. 

To compliment my current foundation of choice, I've recently been switching between MAC Harmony Blush and MAC Bronzing Powder ( in the shade Golden) to add some depth and bronze to my face. For a heavier 'contoured' look I tend to opt for Harmony on my cheeks ( though not all over my face due to being pink in undertone ) which is matt and fairly pigmented. The MAC bronzer on the other hand has much less of a colour pay-off so can be dusted all over with a big fluffy brush whilst still looking natural. For days that I'm feeling particularly pasty, I love to use the Lord and Berry Blush in 'Plum' to add a flush to my cheeks. This, like the MAC blush, is highly pigmented so only requires the smallest tap of my RT Multi-task brush. I'll also, particularly on nights out, add Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish REVIEW to the tops of my cheeks to give an extra glow.
To compliment the 'Autumn glow' look that I try to achieve, I've frequently been reaching for two lipsticks in particular, MAC Plumful Lipstick and MAC Rebel Lipstick. Both have that delicious Vanilla smell and have great pigmentation and lasting power. I'll tend to sheer Plumful out for the daytime and use Rebel straight from the bullet in the evening - both will last throughout the day or night without bleeding. 

Finally, this Autumn I have also pledged to experiment with my make-up and so have recently attempted to apply and wear false eyelashes. Although my attempt failed ( don't judge my poor application - please!) , my lashes of choice were the Invogue Eyelashes (07) that are really affordable and can be bought for less than a fiver. 


So that's all for the latest additions to my Autumn make-up bag. Do you have any trusted favourites in your rotation?  Let me know below!

For me, every year's the same. The seasons change, the clocks go back and there's always the same handful of makeup products that make the cut each Autumn. The fail -safe holy grail products that I reach for on a near daily basis, that I swear by and trust not to let me down.
