Tis the season to wear bronze. Or it is in my opinion! I love autumn makeup that encapsulates the essence of the atmosphere…bronze lids with thick dark lashes and rose blushed cheeks finished with a muted pink or plum lip. Here’s the low down on my favourite autumn colour eye products.
The MUA Undress Me Too palette.
The colours in this palette are beautiful. Seriously, it’s like they collected all the beautiful jewel toned colours of the autumn season and collated them together in one handy palette. The formulas are soft and creamy, blending easily onto lids, into creases and under brows.
My favourite jewel tone is Fiery, this colour is gorgeous and looks amazing patted onto lids and blended softly around the crease. Winged liner and thick lashes complete this eye look. For everday appeal I’ve been using Naked as my base with Lavish smoked out in and just above the crease. The matt, muted plum shade creates definition without the drama.
Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr in On and On Bronze
This hit cream shadow brings it in the bronze department. The dense, pigmented shade blends onto lids to create a shimmering bronze hue. I find one application is all you need for day time, patted onto lids with your ring finger and then lightly smoked out in the crease of the eye. The shade has a gold undertone warming up peepers in one quick slick and looks beautiful with a plum lip stain.
The Body Shop Colour Crush in Bronze Bliss
A soft, finely milled bronze powder shadow that is intensely pigmented for the ultimate orange bronze hue. Similar to MUA Fiery but a bit more subdued, this is a true bronze shade that is completely wearable for day time. This colour has very fine flecks of glitter that are almost undetectable but pick up the light to create a soft, glimmering effect. I love wearing a light wash of this shade all over the lid for daytime with a hint blended just under the eye. It’s an easy transition product, just pick up any flat shadow brush and pack on the pigment for an amazing, quick evening look.
Max Factor Smokey Eye Effect Eyeshadow in Bronze Haze
This duo ended product houses champagne cream and chocolate bronze in one. The first step is the pretty base champagne colour, easy to blend all over the eye but a little bit creasy so if you’re going to wear this one pat on your primer beforehand.
The best part of this duo is definitely the second step; the chocolaty bronze definer.
This end has been tapered, so tracing this along the upper lash line creates a thick, bronze brown liner which is smudgy enough to create an ‘undone’ every day look. The dense consistency doesn’t tug or pull at the eye so smoothing it on is quick and easy and perfect for morning routines.
The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes Palette 06 Warm
Another Body Shop offering, the Shimmer Cube in Bronze is maybe the original cult bronze product! Individually housed complete with lids, each of the quads houses a shimmering hue. Perfect for travel… you get two chocolate and two honey shades of colour. Marshmallow is a go-to daytime shade which looks beautiful smoked out with a hint of Choc Chip. Honey is another true bronze. Packed on densely then creased with Dark Chocolate is the ultimate night time attire. Top tip, you can wet these shades to create a slick wash of colour on the lid.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Paint in Rich Russet
The final offering in the autumn selection, this wet cream formula glides onto lids to create a pigmented, cool bronze hue. The doe foot applicator navigates lids easily and ensures even distribution of the glossy product. Amazing with a thick winged eye, this offering dries with a cream powder finish and does not budge when it’s on your peepers. A great product for long days, the cool toned effect adds colour but allows for a warm cheek or lip. I love wearing this on both long days and long nights!
So there you have my Autumn Colour Edit! Stay tuned for the Autumn Lips Edit to match these beautiful bronze shades soon.
