My Top Three Transitional Palettes To Take You From Summer To Autumn

Autumn is here, it's officially here and I'm loving that September is off to a colder start. Usually we can get some nice weather this time of year and hold on to that last bit of summer. But this year I'm so ready to whip out all of my cosy jumpers, wear boots with extra fluffy socks and enjoy some cosy nights with the heating on and a hot chocolate in hand - Sounds good right? Whilst I'm pretty much ready to dive right into autumn, I'm not quite ready to change my makeup looks completely and whilst I want to dress for the colder weather, I still want my makeup look glowy and fresh. I think it's nice if makeup has more of a transitional phase into a season, rather than jumping straight in. Slowly my lipstick shades are getting darker and I can't wait to bring out the berry toned lipsticks. Today I want to talk about eyeshadow palettes and I've picked out my top three palettes that I think are perfect for this in-between stage of seasons and that you can carry on using throughout the season.

Mac Cranberry || The Perfect Autumn Eye Look

Finally the weather has started to change and I feel like I can fully embrace autumn. The one thing that I absoltley love about the change of weather and seasons is changing things around in my makeup bag and picking colours that suit my mood and the weather outside. The thing that really gets me excited about autumn is bringing out the berry toned shades whether this be in my choice of lipstick, blush or eye shadow. After what seams years of having this eye shadow on my wishlist I finally got around to picking up the gorgeous frost Mac eye shadow in the shade 'Cranberry' as it must be the ultimate autumn shade to wear on your peepers.

As soon as I got my little beauty mitts on this shadow I feel in love, it really is that gorgeous. Uusually I tend to stay away from anything with a frosty finish as I find that it can be a bit too much for daytime and I don't want to go out looking like a disco ball, however 'Cranberry' has just the right amount of frost finish to it - I find it rather subtle and it really adds a pop of warmth to my makeup look. 

As far as an eye shadow goes, its everything that you would expect from Mac and more; It has a long lasting finish, is super pigmented and blends like a dream. Today I've paired it with 'Toasted' and 'Hustle' out of my Naked One Palette to create the perfect autumn eye look. I've popped  'Cranberry' all over the lids of my eyes and then blended 'Toasted' and 'Hustle' in the crease and outer corners. I think for more of an evening look, cranberry will look gorgeous paired with a gold shadow such as 'Half Baked' for a more of a glitsy look, but the look I've created today works so well for daytime and evening, especially if your wanting to make a bit of a statement with your eye makeup, its perfect.

I would love to know if you have 'Cranberry' in your makeup collection and if your planning on wearing it this autumn, let me know in the comments below.

Lots of Love
