Refresh your beauty routine with hydrating skincare, dewy finishes, and strong seasonal lips. Our resident makeup artist Sarah shares her autumn make-up tips from her favourite conscious brands at The Remedy...
As autumn approaches and the long evenings disappear, I find myself adjusting my seasonal skincare and make-up routine. As I wake up in the dark, I want something quick and simple that makes me feel and look awake.
I start my day using the organic cotton cloud cloths and the UpCircle cleansing balm. The balm needs a little warming between my hands in the colder mornings and the water needs to be warm. I find a warm compress comforting and gentle on my skin. My skin tends to be drier in the autumn months and I want a good base so that I can create my simple natural skin look.
I like to add a little oil to my moisturiser for that dewy, fresh look and the extra hydration. I prime my skin using the gorgeous NINI Rose Spritz - the scent is subtle and light. It’s not only great under make-up but also perfect to use with my foundation to create dewy fresh skin, and as a setting spray when I finish my look.
If you are like me, inspired by the bold lips that were all over London Fashion Week and love the chocolate browns and burgundy shades that are the colour palette of the season, then a strong lip will just elevate your everyday look. I often feel that in winter my skin can look washed out. Lifting it with a bold lip is key for me — it also distracts from any tired eyes!
My go-to Remedy favourite is the Manasi7 Pacaya All Over Colour. Its berry-brown hues give it a feminine yet strong look. What I also love about this product is that it contains sweet almond oil and apricot kernel oil, giving it that nourishing feel which is particularly great in the autumn months.
I love the versatility of this product. I often take my look from day to night with this wonder product: by using a small angled brush with the Pacaya, I create a thin liner along the lash line, and add a lick of Manasi7 mascara to tie everything together. So chic. I think it’s particularly beautiful with brown or hazel eyes and just adds a little touch of drama.
