How To: Drugstore Daytime Fall Makeup (Video)

Still from video--Silent Treatment from Wet N Wild is used in this tutorial

Hey you! Today I'm sharing an easy, drugstore makeup tutorial for daytime fall makeup. It's a lighter look making it perfect for work, or for those that want the darker colors of fall but without such intensity. I've been doing makeup tutorials on the blog for years, but can you believe this is my first makeup video tutorial? And just in case you think it's not daytime-friendly, I did darken it just a little just in case it didn't show up on camera, but I promise it's wearable! Enjoy.

• Use the E40 brush and blend out any harsh lines/edges.
• Take the E35 brush, the L'Oreal shade and apply to the outer "v." It will look like a < or > depending on the eye. Blend it out with the E40. Feel free to sub with the WNW Nutty shade.
• Take the E30 pencil brush and dip into that L'Oreal shade again, brushing underneath lower lashes, like an eyeliner. Or use Nutty.
• Use the Accent Brush, tapped into Brulee and apply under the brows and inner corners as a highlight.
• Use a cool brown (or grey or taupe) liner on the upper lids. Smudge with the ELF brush.
• Apply Maybelline Big Eyes (or your preference) mascara after curling lashes.
• Apply the Benefit Hervana blush or sub with WNW Mellow Wine.
