Autumn Makeup: Beautiful eyeshadows & lipsticks

As the leaves start to turn and there’s a crispness in the air, it’s time to switch up our makeup bags and embrace the beauty of autumn. And what better way to do that than with a gorgeous new lipstick or eyeshadow palette?

Burnt oranges, deep browns, rich burgundies and bold red lipsticks are the perfect autumnal shades. Let’s have a look at some of the best eyeshadows and lipsticks for the autumn season.

Budget Autumn Eyeshadow Palettes

First up are some old favourites, the amazing budget friendly Makeup Revolution eyeshadow palettes. Below is the beautiful Makeup Revolution Re-Loaded Iconic Fever Palette.

This has a gorgeous selection of rich browns and burgundies, neutrals in mattes and shimmers. It really is a perfect palette for autumn and only £5! That’s a brilliant bargain, shop the eyeshadow palette here (aff link).

Another great budget autumn eyeshadow palette from Revolution is their Revolution Re-loaded Velvet Rose (read my review here).

The shades include matte peachy beige, shimmery warm gold leaf, matte brandy brown and lots more. Shop this beautiful eyeshadow palette here.

If the above palette doesn’t take your fancy there are many many more to look at on their website here (aff link).

High End Autumn Eyeshadow Palettes

For something more luxe is the iconic eyeshadow palette Urban Decay Limited Edition Naked Palette Original Revival:

This has the most amazing range of shades for the autumn; luxurious golds, buttery browns and perfect neutrals. You can create so many different eye looks with this all-rounder. The formula is gorgeous and long-wearing. If you’re looking for a special gift for someone (or yourself) then this is it.

Alternatively there is the absolutely stunning Natasha Denona Golden Palette, isn’t this palette a thing of beauty?

The Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette has the most sumptuous selection of shades perfect for autumn- rich golden foils, highly pigmented neutral mattes and more. This will suit every skin tone and makes for a very special gift or treat. Find out more about Natasha Denona palette here.

Lipsticks for the Autumn

Autumn is the perfect time to wear rich plum shades, burnt oranges, deep browns and reds (it’s always a good time for reds tbh). One of my favourite reds is from MAC. The Chilli shade is described as a brick red but I find it leans a little warm, and makes for a great autumn lipstick:

MAC mini lipsticks are the ideal way to test out the shade, find MAC Chilli in mini size here.

Another brilliant autumn lipstick is another MAC shade in Diva, this is a vibrant burgundy. This makes a beautiful lip stain or a full on bold lip look, shop MAC Diva in mini here. I previously reviews MAC mini lipsticks in this post, which also features MAC dupes.

I have a selection of my favourite drugstore lipsticks in different shades of orange in this article.

Multi-purpose Makeup: Lips and Cheeks

One of my favourite makeup products over the years is Ere Perez Carrot Pots (read my review here).

This is a multi-purpose cheek and lip product. Holy is a beautiful grape shade perfect for the autumn/winter months. It adds a ‘just bitten’ look to the lips and a beautiful flush of colour to the cheeks (left pot in the photo above). An amazing makeup product that I highly recommend. Find out more about the little pots from Ere Perez here.

Beauty Pie also has lip and cheek pots in great autumnal shades, including the shade Raspberry Crush. See more about Beauty Pie Jelly Lip and Cheek Shots here (aff link).

And a shoutout to Benefit Bene Tint in Rose, a cult favourite for a reason. This gives a beautiful flush of colour to the cheeks and adds a ‘just bitten’ stain to the lips, shop Benefit lip tint here (aff link).
