Subtle Plum Makeup || Super Easy & Affordable

Hey loves! I'm back with another fall makeup look! I wanted to switch up my makeup and play with fall colors, and I came up with this berry toned look! 

Since Autumn/Fall is my favorite season, I have to take advantage of the warm color palette that this season has to offer. Granted, rules are meant to be broken so you can wear this look all year round! Did y'all like how I had Christmas music playing? Haha, I really wanted to keep the "plum" theme going so I decided to play Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the background :)

Since I don't have a lot of eyeshadow palettes, I made due with what I already had and was really pleased with the outcome. This goes to show that even if you don't own a lot of makeup, you can get creative with what you already own. Check out the product list below as well as some up-close pictures. Thanks for stopping by :)

Fall Inspired Look || Pumpkin Spice Makeup

Hey beauties! So I'm finally back and this time with something very different!

I've been seeing this "pumpkin spice" inspired makeup trend a lot on YouTube and Instagram and I love how it looks. Its basically a lot of warm, fall colors such as burnt orange, plum, burgundy, etc. I feel like depending on your preference, there could be endless amounts of looks that can be created with this concept. I tried to create a look that was a little more bold for me (since I always stick to neutrals) and I really like how it came out!

Here's a video of me doing my makeup!
This is my first official YouTube video and let me tell you, there's a reason why YouTubers get paid! This took a lot of work. From filming (I used my cellphone) to editing, adding music and voice overs, phew!!! It was quite the headache to figure all of this out but I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I am proud of finally doing something that I wanted to do for a long time. I apologize for the crappy quality, but I didn't want to let the lack of a professional camera hold me back any longer.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this video and are inspired to try out this fall makeup trend! As always, happy reading and look out for more posts coming soon! xoxo
