 Toasty Makeup

@sofiaweiderman

Hey gorgeous!  Here's a tutorial for a warm-toned, soft and bronzed toasty makeup, just in time for fall.

1. Skin Prep

After you're done with your usual skincare (toner, moisturizer, sunscreen), follow with a hydrating, dewy primer for the extra glow throughout the day.

2. Base

You can go in with your regular foundation or concealer if  you want to keep it light. Contour and bronzer are a really crucial part of this look. For basic placement, add contour on the top of your forehead. temples. cheekbones, eyelids (for dimension) and your usual nose contouring. Bronze over the contour.

3. Blush

For blush, a simple warm-toned, mauve-brown or darker red will be essential. A BIG no to powdery, pale pink blushes. Brush it all over your cheeks and nose for that sun-kissed effect.

4. Eyes and Eyebrows

For eyebrows, keep it soft and fluffy with no harsh or straight lines. Use a clear eyebrow gel and optionally, a brown eyebrow liner to fill it in.

For eyes, use a warm-toned brown and brown adjacent palette or just a brown and black eyeshadow if you prefer. Fill in your eyelids with a dark brown eyeshadow and blur it out as you put a lighter shade of brown on your upper eyelid, preferably just a little darker than your skintone. Blend it down to your lower lash lines. Use a pencil eyeliner for your lash line and use the eyeliner for your waterline or kohl/kajal if you prefer natural options. Finish with mascara on your upper and lower lashes.

5. Lips

Line your lips with a brown lipliner. Optionally, you can add a maroon or burgundy shade for more tone and dimension. Here, you can finish with clear gloss or continue with lipstick. Use a suitable nude lipstick or a warm mauve/brown lipstick and finish with gloss if you'd like.

6. Setting 

For setting powder, use it only in places where your skin gets oily throughout the day. Since highlighter is very minimal or none at all, setting powder everywhere makes it look too dry. You can finish with a setting or fixing spray or skip if you want. 

Recommendations: HUDA Beauty Easy Bake Loose Setting Powder

Tips:

1. Keep your base hydrated and glowy.

2. Use minimal highlighter, preferably on inner corners of your eyelids and nose.

3. Add freckles for a softer look or keep it as it is for a bolder look.

4. Use cream or liquid products when you can for better blending and an effortless look.

5. Don't be afraid to add colour if you want! You can include colour in your eyeshadow with warmer and darker shades of your preferred colour. Some may say it won't stay a toasty look anymore but makeup is art, so be creative!
