October beauty Favorites 🤎

It seems many of you are searching for that perfect 'toasted teddy' vibe for your lips this fall, and I totally get it! While my beloved Rhode pocket blush in 'Toasted Teddy' gives me that warm, sun-kissed glow, achieving that cozy, autumnal feel for your pout often starts with the right lip liner. Let's dive deeper into building that ideal fall lip combo that truly captures that aesthetic. When I talk about my October beauty favorites, the Makeup Forever lip liner in 'Wherever Walnut' is an absolute standout. It’s not just a liner; it’s the essential foundation for so many beautiful fall lipproducts. I’ve found that a good, warm-toned lip liner like this one is crucial for defining your cupid's bow and giving your lips a fuller, more defined shape. The 'Wherever Walnut' shade, specifically, is a gorgeous, versatile brown that truly embodies that 'toasted' aesthetic without being too dark or too nude. It’s perfect for outlining, or even filling in your entire lip before adding another product for extended wear, ensuring your color stays put. My go-to trick is to slightly overline my lips, especially around the center, which instantly creates the illusion of more volume. Then, I gently blend the liner inwards with my finger or a small brush to avoid a harsh line. This technique works wonders, especially when you're going for that soft but defined look that feels naturally plump. I've even seen how beautifully the swatches of this lip liner in 'Wherever Walnut' look alongside the 'Blush Dreams' lip oil and the 'Toasted Teddy' cream blush on a smooth marble surface – they just belong together. Now, to complete that 'toasted' lusciousness, pairing a hydrating lip oil on top is a game-changer. The Summer Fridays lip oil in 'Blush Dreams' is what I've been reaching for constantly. Its frosted lip oil texture adds a beautiful sheen and keeps my lips feeling incredibly moisturized, which is crucial as the weather gets colder. The 'Blush Dreams' shade, with its subtle pinkish hue, complements the 'Wherever Walnut' liner beautifully, creating a seamless, warm, and inviting lip combo that's perfect for everyday wear and truly elevates the 'fall lipcombo' game. This layered approach not only makes your lip color last longer but also adds a dimension that a single lipstick can't always achieve. It’s all about creating that cohesive, warm look that pairs so effortlessly with a brown cream blush like my 'Toasted Teddy' favorite. When your blush and lip combo share a similar warmth, your entire face just glows with autumnal charm, making you feel put-together and effortlessly chic. If you’re looking to experiment beyond 'Wherever Walnut' and 'Blush Dreams', consider other warm brown or terracotta lip liner pencil shades, paired with peachy or slightly berry-toned lip oils or glosses for a similar effect. The key is to find shades that make you feel cozy and confident, echoing those rich, earthy tones of autumn. Don't be afraid to mix and match; sometimes the best fall lipcombo is one you discover yourself through a little playful experimentation! Just like discovering those perfect beauty finds, finding your signature fall lip is such a fun and rewarding journey.
