Apply Light Makeup for Fall

Effortless, great looking makeup for fall is something every woman can achieve with simple methods. This article will teach you how to apply appropriate, light make up that works well for the fall season.

Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Use a moisturizer. If you're applying makeup in the morning, your face can be dry after sleeping. Moisturizer protects the skin for the upcoming day and will give your skin a renewed and soft look. This should be done before anything else.
  2. 2
    Use a mirror with appropriate light. Find a room where the lighting doesn't make your face look too pale or tan. Poor lighting can lead to putting too much of a darker or a lighter color than works for your complexion and tones, making your skin color seem pallid or overdone.
  3. 3
    Use a tiny bit of blush. Use just enough to make your whole face the same color, and to bring out the cheeks so that they look naturally rosy. This will give your appearance a fresh and healthy appeal.
  4. 4
    Use a brown or black eyeliner. Only apply the eyeliner to the underpart of your eye. Otherwise, it becomes too noticeable and penetrating when applied to the top of the eye.
  5. 5
    Add eyeshadow. Use a brown, gold or a slightly reddish-orange eyeshadow. These colors pick up the fall color themes and are pleasantly muted without being too pale. Only apply the eyeshadow on the lower area of your eyelids, or again, it risks looking too overdone.
    • If you do feel like experimenting though, try applying a thin layer of eyeshadow in and over the globe line. Check closely and from a distance in the mirror to appraise its enhancing value for your complexion before deciding to keep it or not.
  6. 6
    Add the lipstick and lip gloss (if using). Apply a thin layer of a quality, natural or earthy lipstick or lip gloss.
    • Don't apply too much gloss, as this can make your lips stand out too much and seem sticky, which is not an appealing look for the season.
    • Apply a darker color to the lips if your eyeshadow is light, and a lighter color to the lips if the eyeshadow is slightly heavy. This creates a pleasant and balanced contrast.
  7. 7
    Add the mascara and eyeliner. Brown is a good color to use for the fall season, but black can do as well. Apply a thin layer of eyeliner in the wet area under your eyes, and in the corners if you like doing that. Mascara is simply applied as you normally like it. Your makeup look for fall is now complete––simple, elegant and neither understated nor overstated.

Edit Tips

  • Remember to always wash your face, removing all makeup, when you go to sleep. Not doing so can result in acne, redness, sensitive skin and an increase in future wrinkles.
  • Make sure you moisturize your face immediately after you wash it. If not your skin will be too dry and as a result of this natural tendency to try to moisturize your face it will produce more oils, which can potentially cause break outs.
  • Before you put on any make up, make sure all your previous make up from the earlier day is removed.

Edit Warnings

  • If you suffer allergic skin reactions to anything, stay away from it. Talk to a doctor or dermatologist about what brands of make up you can use that won't cause a bad reaction on your skin.
