Well I have the honour of choosing the next theme for IndieAna's "Come Play With Me" series ♥ And with Autumn about to arrive, I thought it would be a good idea to get some seasonal inspiration underway, so here we go with my first autumnal look for 2014...
 |
| Pardon the wet hair... |
I love all seasons (well...maybe not so crazy about winter although I'm a total boot freak and can't wait to trot them out again lol) but Autumn has a very special place in my heart because of the glorious mix of warm colours when the leaves start to turn - russetty reds, golds and ambers are just so comforting, and flattering to someone with my skin tone.
I decided to go with some bold mattes from Sugarpill, over a sparkly MNY Tattoo in Too Cool base, and then softened them a tinge with a gold overlay...
The Too Cool base is brilliant under mattes because it really gives them a lift and brings them to life - the shimmer of the tattoo just ever so slightly gleams through, and the shadows stick really well. The Sugarpill pigments are sensational - the boldest brightest mattes that aren't the least bit chalky or powdery, and there's rarely any fallout...
I wanted an olivey shade on the waterline, and I don't have one (eek! will have to fix that ha ha) so I left all the fallout in place, and went over it with brown from the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Gel Liner - this stuff really sticks and lasts for hours on this damp region :-)
So that's my Autumn look for Come Play With Me. Ok IndieAna, Hailey & Gemma, it's over to you gals - can't wait to see what you come up with, and anyone else that wants to join in the playtime :-)
Edit!
Wowee check out Gemma Sapphire's fabulous red and gold Autumn eye look - how spesh is this!
Hailey has created an exquisite look featuring her exquisite face - after seeing this I reckon gold eyeliner will be the go this Autumn :-)
And IndieAna's beautiful FOTD is subtle AND sassy, and her nails are aflame with Autumn colours - woo hoo!
Yay we have another gorgeous gal who's joined in the play time! - Courtney from Made in Marcelle, check out her beautiful Autumn face :-)
Take care of you,

The colours I used from inner to outer corner were Acidberry, Buttercupcake, Flamepoint & Love+. I blended over them with Urban Decay Honey, a gorgeous glimmery gold. On the lower lashline I used the orangey gold and the golden lime from the Chi Chi Wake Me Up Before You Go Go palette - haven't used this in yonks, and I'd forgotten how gorgeous it is...

Have a great week lovely! x
What a delicious comment the missus, thanks hon, my mouth is watering now too lol... Happy to hear you're a fall fan too and hope the week treats you kindly xxx
DeleteOh wow look at all those colours! I love your Autumn look Kats. It's so beautiful and really does replicate the season perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to start thinking about what I should do :)
Well done sweety xx
Glad you like it gemma, it was lots of fun to create, I wore it to my dad's birthday party :-) Meanwhile I'm shivering with anticipation awaiting the results of your interpretation - in other words, show me the colours hon!
DeleteAbsolutely lovely, Kats. Such a great mix and so beautifully blended - AS USUAL!!!
ReplyDeleteWith LOVE,
Trish
Bless you Trish - aren't Autumn colours just divine?
DeleteOhhhh I'm excited to play around with this concept! I reckon you got the colours spot on for Autumn Kat!
ReplyDeleteSo happy I've peaked your interest Hailey - I'm waiting with baited breath to see your creation hon ♥♥♥
DeleteThis Autumn look is glorious, Kat! I can't wait to play! ;)
ReplyDeleteGolly Indie, what will it be hon? A fabulous nail art-work, or a glamorous explosion of shimmery Autumn shadows? Just don't make me wait too long ha ha!
DeleteSo beautiful Kat! Those colours work so well together. You really do have an eye for what combinations look good, as it's definitely getting me into the Autumn spirit!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Bas darling - hey how about joining in the fun with a stunning Autumn FOTD?
DeleteI love this "Autumn" eye look, Kat. You've chosen the perfect colours for it. All the colours here reminds me of my visit to Mt Lofty (Adelaide) when the trees were changing to their Autumn colours. It was so beautiful as we don't really have trees in Perth that do that.

Arty Mt Lofty sounds lovely - the Adelaide hills are magnificent at this time of year. In my youth I visited Baden Baden and walked through the foothills of the Black Forest in Autumn. It was so peaceful and beautiful I didn't want to come out! The colours were the same as the ones I chose for the look, but more muted - I still have the photos somewhere...ain't nature grand?
DeleteOk, finally got my post done!

DeleteKats, you've created a gorgeous Autumn rainbow on your eyes.
