From Summer to Fall Makeup



       
Fall in Southern California




       Oh my, I can't believe August is on the verge of ending and we will be in the month of September in just a few days!  2013 slow down please! I went to the mall the other day, and Halloween covered the shelves of many stores, along with sweaters and jackets, hinting that Fall is around the corner.  
   Since I live in Southern California, I know the weather change isn't going to be as extreme as other parts of the world, but it will be a little cooler;) 
    
    My Summer to Fall Make-up Transitions usually consists of the following 4 practices:



       1.   Matte Face:  During these last summer months, I have been all over BB Creams.  It's lightweight, has SPF, and covers most blemishes on my face.  BB Creams worked well with my skin this summer, but as fall is fast approaching, my face needs something less dewy and more matte.  I usually just add a powder to set my bb cream and/or foundation.  This one locks in my bb cream & keep my face matte.






      2.   Bold eyeliner-  I love to darken up my eyeliner in the Fall.  When the nights become longer,  I am more apt to wear a winged eyeliner.  A Cat-Eye is appealing to me, especially on a night out on the town;)


        3.   Red or Plum Lips:  I just love the look of dark red lips.  Red Lips remind me of Gwen Stefani.  Her Fall 2013 Apparel collection appears to consists of Plaids and dark colors.  Red Lips will definitely tie in with the upcoming Fall Fashion.  

4.  Fall color Nail polishes:   Time to put aside my neon and pastel polishes.  
My go-to Fall Nail Colors are usually black, gray, matte orange, and red.  
However, I am loving the color purple on nails for the Fall.  
Currently I am sporting black and an accent purple.

New Adventure: Alcone At Home

                        

     I would consider myself a make-up lover/enthusiast/fan/junkie.  I recently had the opportunity to become a part of the Alcone At Home Beauty Blogger Team.  I couldn't let this one pass me by.  Alcone is well-known among the beauty and fashion industry.  Many Makeup Artists are familiar with this company.  The lovely Ren, from MakeupByRenRen is a skilled and very creative Makeup Artist whom I have heard about this amazing opportunity.  She writes about her Alcone At Home Must Haves here
      Although I am not a Makeup Artist, I still enjoy wearing makeup and love to "play" with my make-up.  I wanted to share my Wish List/Must Haves from the Alcone At Home Line:

             
 

    Organizing my makeup is key.  Without organization, I wouldn't know where everything was or what products I had.  This beautifully chevron designed palette will be able to hold all my necessities on the days I want to apply makeup.  This palette can hold my must haves shown below and still have space to add more to it later.  

 
 
 
Foundation:  Perfect Coverage Botanical Foundation in colors:  Gena Beige and Olive One

 
 
 
 
 

 










Concealer: Waterproof Complete Concealer and Primer in colors:  ONE, TWO, & THREE.  Mixing these colors can help me achieve my perfect shade. 
 
 
             
 
 
 
 
 
                           


                                           Blush: Perfect Blushes in FOUR
 
                            
 

 
 

                                                          Eyeshadows:  
                        Perfect Eyeshadows in TWO, FIVE, SIX and NINE

                                     


                                     




                                   Creamy Lipstick in the lovely color FOUR
                           
 
 
    I am so excited to begin this new adventure with Alcone At Home with a team of very talented women.  I am fortunate to be able to work with the original Alcone Beauty Bloggers, Ren & Casey.  Casey, from beauty101blog, tells us about her Make-Up Kit Must Haves.  Blogging is new to me, but I have already learned so much.  I can't wait to share my thoughts, photos, lifestyle and adventures in just about everything beauty related.
