Autumn whispers its arrival in Australia, bringing cooler breezes, crisp mornings, and a vibrant tapestry of golden leaves. It’s also the perfect time to refresh your beauty routine and embrace the cosy vibes of the season. Here’s your ultimate guide to glowing all autumn long, Aussie style!
Embrace the Warmth
As the days shorten, swap your dewy summer base for a warmer, more luminous foundation. Look for products with hydrating properties to combat the drying effects of cooler weather. Consider a tinted moisturiser for a natural, radiant look, or a lightweight foundation with buildable coverage.
Lip Service
Let’s face it, summer’s bright lip colours might feel a bit out of place with your favourite autumn scarf. Embrace the season with richer, earthier tones. Think berry hues, deep reds, and warm browns. For a touch of luxury, try a long-lasting liquid lipstick that won’t feather in the autumn wind.
Sun-Kissed Glow (Even Without the Sun)
While the sun might not be as relentless as summer, it’s still important to protect your skin. Swap your SPF 50 for a daily moisturiser with SPF 30 to maintain a healthy glow. Maintain that summer tan (minus the sun damage!) with a bronzer that complements your skin tone. Apply it to your cheekbones, forehead, and the bridge of your nose for a subtle, sun-kissed look.
Hello, Gorgeous Eyes
Autumn beckons for smokier eyes and bolder colours. Play with shades like copper, plum, and burgundy to create a dramatic look. Don’t be afraid to experiment! If you prefer a more natural look, opt for warm browns and golds. For a touch of sparkle, add a shimmery eyeshadow on your inner corners or a metallic eyeliner for a touch of glam. Remember, a good waterproof mascara is your best friend this season, as those crisp mornings might bring a surprise rain shower.
Luscious Locks
The cooler weather can wreak havoc on your hair, leaving it dry and frizzy. Deep condition your hair at least once a week and invest in a nourishing leave-in conditioner for daily use. Embrace the natural texture of your hair – beachy waves are the perfect autumnal hairstyle.
Bonus Tip:
Don’t forget to pamper yourself! Autumn is the perfect time for a relaxing at-home spa night. Light some candles, draw a warm bath with bath salts, and give yourself a mani-pedi with autumn-inspired colours.
Remember, Aussie beauty is all about embracing your natural beauty and adding a touch of effortless style. So, get out there, enjoy the changing colours, and rock your autumn glow!
