Allure of autumn

makeup

As the leaves start to turn and the air grows crisp, fall makeup brings in a cosy yet bold transformation in beauty. Here in Pakistan, the season is very mild; however, the weather provides just the right impetus to wear warmer shades with soft glam.

Time to try different lip colours, warm blushes, and sultry eyeshadows that give mystery without making your makeup too heavy. The trick to this makeup balance is to play around with contrasting elements of bold lips and neutral eyes or vice-versa.

Layering lightweight foundations with radiant finishes gives extra glow to the skin, while soft contouring mimics the natural warmth of the season. Whether one is going on with glamorous makeup for parties or keeping it easy and fresh-faced for everyday wear, it lets you employ the season with versatile options that go seamlessly from day to night…

Peachy perfection

This look is an autumn dream come to life, blending soft glam with a cosy, fall-inspired palette. The warm, velvety base captures the essence of cooler days, offering a radiant finish that mimics the golden hour glow. The peachy-coral lip colour adds a pop of freshness, standing out against the rich hues of the season’s wardrobe. It’s a statement lip that strikes a balance between bold and understated, ideal for a breezy autumn day.

Keep the brows softly defined, so that it frames the face with a natural yet refined touch, while letting the eyes exude subtle warmth. The eyeshadow, in muted earth tones, brings a barely-there shimmer, reflecting the soft light of an early autumn sunset. A delicate sweep of mascara adds just the right amount of definition, giving the lashes a light, fluttery feel - perfect for those fall strolls through the park.

The soft contouring enhances the natural bone structure, adding a gentle warmth to the cheeks that mirrors the earthy tones of fall leaves. This look is a perfect way to transition into fall makeup. It’s simple, fresh, and effortlessly stylish, giving you a mix of comfort and elegance that fits the cosy yet fashionable vibe of the season.

Rosy radiance

This look is perfect for fall, giving off confidence with a touch of seasonal style. The soft, rosy lip colour seems to pop against the otherwise subtle tones of everyday makeup. It’s just the right transition into fall - too subtle to be bold, but impactful enough to add a hint of warmth against the earthy tones of the season’s attire.

Opt for a base which gives the skin a natural glow that adds subtle luminosity, perfect for the crisp, cooler air to cast that effortless ‘just-glowing-from-within’ vibe. The real magic is in the eyes: a delicate shimmer on the lids adds just enough glamour without overpowering, set against a clean, crisp white eyeliner that defines her gaze. The end result: a subtle, playful wink at autumn with just enough drama to lift the look.

Framing it all, fill in the brows softly to keep the look modern and natural. A touch of blush across the cheeks acts like the fresh flush of fall. This makeup is perfect for daytime activities, whether you’re sipping pumpkin spice lattes or taking a Sunday walk through the falling leaves - fun, polished, and totally ready for autumn.
