Autumnal Make-up Feat. Nars Velvet Matte Skin Tint & Portobello Eyeshadow Duo

This is really just an excuse to showcase some products from Nars that I use regularly, however the tones are quite Autumnal!

This everyday make-up look starts with plenty of moisturiser and a primer. My skin is dry and believe me when I say it can look pretty crepey and dehydrated with the wrong base in the wrong light! Nars Velvet Matte Skin Tint is a tinted moisturiser in a matte finish which offers light to light-medium coverage. It isn't ridiculously drying, but could cling to patches if you haven't prepped. The best application is using fingers or a sponge as I find it needs to be worked into the skin. I wear the Shade Finland which is light with a neutral- yellow undertone. This seems to subtly counteract redness. I actually prefer this to Nars' original tinted moisturiser as I prefer a matte finish to a shiny face any day of the week. This isn't the easiest (or indeed most challenging) foundation to work with, but it does a good job of unifying your complexion.

Peachy Lipsticks: 5 favourites

Here is my run down of peach lip colours: enjoy!


Dior lipstick in Grege 1947 is a neutral peach shade which would work well on many people. The formulation is moisturising and balmy which makes it very comfortable to wear. The silky feel on the lips is luxurious compared to cheaper brands I use. On the downside, it means that this isn't a lipstick that will wear for many hours, but it really is such a pretty and wearable colour that it is worth it in my opinion.
