Autumn Colours for Autumn Makeup

If you have to choose one colour for your autumn makeup, which autumn colour would you choose? There are so many autumn colours from Aura red to spicy mustard, so the options are limitless. 2016 Autumn colours are all about unity of strength, confidence and complexity, so it is time to show the confidence!
I prefer neutral colours for my makeup, however, I try to add as much as colour possible to brighten up a gloomy day. Whenever I wear dark/bright lips, I pretty much keep the rest of the makeup simple. I know it is boring, so now I try to infuse more autumn colours to my autumn makeup. Having bold eyes and bold lips might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is worth giving a try.I like is mixing cranberry, burgundy and black tones to create that dramatic autumn makeup. Would you consider wearing a similar eye makeup?
My latest eye makeup duo is Metallic Pomegranate (a burgundy/cranberry mixture with tiny flecks of golden shimmer) and Stereo which is described as "Blackened burgundy with copper and pink violet duo chrome glitter sprinkled on top in a Metallic finish". If you complain about your eye makeup not lasting, then you should consider giving this duo a try!
Combining metallic eye makeup with metallic lips might not be the best decision, but makeup is supposed to be fun so why not... Kween is a burnt red with gold glitter in a metallic finish. I never thought I would give metallic lips a try, now I actually like it... This eye makeup and lip combo would be great for a night out or even you can create that Gothic Halloween makeup, not every Halloween makeup has to be scary!

I am still not sure about spicy mustard, though, would you incorporate that colour to your makeup? How is your dramatic autumn makeup? What do you think about combining metallic eye makeup with metallic lips?

I'm so excited about wearing my berry lip and metalic eyeshadows! Autumn is just awesome x Victoria x http://victressvic.blogspot.co.uk/
I wasn't really into metallic colours, but this autumn I seem to love it :) x
I love autumn colours. These can easily worn any time of the day as natural or full on glam. Chinella www.lalachicuk.co.uk
Totally agree!
Unfortunately, my eyes are so red at the moment that I can't wear any eye makeup, and especially not red tones eyeshadows! Really hope it will get better before the end of Autumn! These ones are gorgeous though! http://fannyanddailybeauty.com
Oh no, I hope everything is ok and your eyes will get better asap!
I keep my eye makeup minimal these days and I wear bold dark lipsticks. I love a nice dark red lipstick or a plum/berry one and I paint my nails with dark nail polish as well!! Yiota <a href="http://pinkdaisyloves.blogspot.com.cy/" rel="nofollow">PinkDaisyLoves</a>
Bold eyes and bold lips isn't usually my thing but lately I've been wearing this duo a lot :)
I love metallic eyeshadows, but metallic lips are not my cup of tea. I'm like you and usually keep the rest of my makeup pretty simple whenever I wear a bold lipstick. However sometimes I like pairing a berry lip with a bronze smokey eye. http://carolinapage.eu
I am not really into metallic lips, I just have that one from Colourpop and I actually like it, however, it is not something I'd wear all the time.

Cranberry is beautiful x
I'm loving the camo-green and rose gold shades (not together) The Lorac Pro 3 palette has been my go-to because the colours are so warm toned that they really complement autumn. Definitely going for a nude lip as well! Don't think I could pull off a metallic lip haha www.lindseyginge.com
I was thinking the same, however, you never know without trying :)
Very interesting post) thanks for sharing! http://beyoutiful.com.ua
Thank you!
These colours you show here are so pretty and very autumn! Have a great day Ela, Love Gemma x www.jacquardflower.uk
Have a great week, Gemma xx
Ela, I LOVE the colors that are coming out in these new Fall makeup collections! They are so pretty. I've purchased several new palettes. The rich browns, coppers, bronzes, oranges and golds are spectacular. I love the shades you have here. I'm not sure about mustard though. LOL I'll do gold. I love metallic lip colors. For the eye, I would be afraid to do an ALL METALLIC eye with metallic lip. But maybe a metallic eye liner would be nice. Something that is not so much. Great post. http://www.averysweetblog.com/
I love the seasonal colours, they are so beautiful and make the gloomy days better! Metallic eyes and lip combo is a little extreme, however, once in a while it is ok to be extreme!
They are super pretty colours and so appropriate for autumn. Wonderful picks. Autumn colours are just some of the prettiest. Ann-Marie | http://facetocurls.com

I just purchased another reddish cream shadow to add into the mix.
When I see make up post I'm literally like this is my kind of post... Love the shades, perfect for fall xx https://theonethattravels.wordpress.com/
I love autumnal colours! x
Dark colours are so perfect for fall, I always get a little nervous and shy but then I think, hey, its autumn, everybody else is wearing a cranberry lip, I should too. Haha! Have a lovely Weekend :) tipscapsule.blogspot.com
Until a few years ago, I wasn't able to wear any of these colours, but hey... just wear whatever you feel like wearing :) x
I don`t switch my makeup routine too much in Autumn, like you I`m a neutrals kinda girl. I do try to wear darker lipsticks, my favourite colours being burgundy and plum. http://www.beautynerd.co.uk
I am a neutrals girl as well, but when it is autumn, all these colours change my mind :)
So pretty! I am like you when it comes to picking shades. Amy Ann <a href="http://www.straightastyleblog.com/" rel="nofollow">Straight A Style</a>

Agree!
Love the colors of the eye makeup! Jamie http://www.treatsandtrendsblog.com
They are beautiful, aren't they?
I love spicy mustard, though I don't know if I'd include it in my makeup, simply because I'm not so creative in that department, lol. I'm sure there's a look somewhere floating around on Pinterest that has it on the eyes and looks amazing, but I have yet to discover it and I don't think I'd attempt it, lol! As for the other shades you've mentioned, I'd definitely give them all a try! I've been crushing hard on burgundy this season, even more so than in years past for some reason. Perhaps it's because we're seeing more and more pieces and makeup in the color?! I don't know by I'm completely won over! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far! XO, Jalisa www.thestylecontour.com
I love spicy mustard. however, I don't think I'd include it to my makeup :) Have a great week, beauty! x
These look a bit like lipstick shades, I think the mustard one would be good in moderation and I like the shimmer of all 3
Shimmers are perfect for this time of the year!
I love experimenting with my makeup and trying new things but I am always so careful when it comes to the balance between bold lip & bold eye 🙈 I do love adding a touch of an eyeliner when I wear dark lipstick. Think it just finishes it off really well :) I am not the best with applying eyeshadows, still a lot to learn in that department lol. I loved your suggestions, sweetie! A metallic lip is something I'd LOVE to try ;) Btw, that Metallic Pomegranate is stunning <3 Hope you're doing great, hunnie & that you're having a fab time!! Enjoy your weekend! xox Nadia www.mielandmint.com
I prefer to keep my makeup as minimal as possible, however, sometimes it is ok to go a little bit extreme :) Have a great week, hun! x
Excellent post and beautiful colours!! I'm in love with orange tones at this time of year and just picked up the Morphe 350 35 palette, just stunning! Can't stop using it :D x <a href="http://www.krystelcouture.com/" rel="nofollow">Jenny | Krystel Couture</a>
I have my eyes on that palette :D x
I love Kween and have been wearing it a lot! And I really need to pick up Metallic Pomegranate soon.

I have a hard time incorporating color at all into my makeup routine but when I can I usually do it by adding a colorful lip like you mentioned. Would love to be good enough with shadows to do a better smokey eye for fall! xx Lauren Blame it on Barneys http://www.blameitonbarneys.com/
I always struggled with adding colour to my makeup, however, I'm slowly getting there :) x
I really like this burgundy slash purple shades for autumn. They definitely are my favourite because they make my green eyes pop xxx http://www.yukovablog.co.uk/
Burgundy/berry shades are perfect for autumn and they definitely make the green eye pop:) x
I tend to keep things neutral when it comes to eyes, especially when I wear a bold lip, these colours do look pretty unique though xx <a href="http://www.franklyflawless.com" rel="nofollow">franklyflawless.com</a>
Most of the time I tend to keep it fairly simple as well, however, it is the perfect season to play with colours :) x
My dramatic autumn makeup is all about burgundy lips, orange blushes and bold eyes! ^-^ I don't really like metallic shades, nor for eyes or for lips :/ xoxo www.milleunrossetto.blogspot.it
I am not a fan of metallic colours as well, however, during this time of year I tend to add it to my makeup routine :) x
Metallic pomegranate looks lovely. I prefer just keeping my eye look simple with a bold or neutral. Never tried metallic lipstick as I am not very fond of them. -Karishma http://yourbeautyjournal.com/colourpop-ultra-matte-lipstick-in-bumble/
I am not a fan of metallic lips as well, but I must admit, they look fab :)
I really want to try a bold dark burgundy. I've seen some of my friends wear it and it is a show stopper. xx Yasmin http://banglesandbungalows.com
I am sure it would suit you, definitely give it a try! x
Oh those metallic shades are lovely, what a nice shimmer they have to them! :) I've worn metallic eyeshadow and glittery lipgloss together when I was younger, ha! I'm not sure about pairing metallic shadow with a lipstick though! :) Hope you're having a good start to the week :) <a href="http://awayfromtheblue.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Away From The Blue Blog</a>
When I was younger I done the same thing and no one warned me ha ha :) I don't usually pair them, however, when I want something different and extreme then it is a duo to go for :) Hope you have an amazing week :)
Oh how I miss sweater weather! Those colors are so gorgeous, love how it helps transition into the holiday season <3 Stephanie | <a href="http://www.beautybucketeer.com" rel="nofollow">Beauty Bucketeer</a>
It is almost 0 degree here, I am not a fan of the freezing weather but the makeup... it is a different story <3
