I realised today as I was walking through town that I was absolutely freezing!!! and suddenly it hit me *boom* Autumn is here!
Below is a list of my current go-to Autumn make-up favourites. Although I do like to change it about a bit, if I have over slept or have an important meeting these are my go to products which I know will not fail me:
Diorskin Forever Foundation - 020
This foundation retails for £32 and can be found here: http://www.boots.com/en/DIOR-DIORSKIN-FOREVER-Fluid-Foundation-SPF-25-Flawless-Perfection-Fusion-Wear-Makeup-30ml_1234421/
This foundation covers extremely well, and with a primer stays on ALL day. I was in love with Nars Sheer Glow but was having issues with it as it just didn't stay put on my dry-normal skin and emphasised flakey patches. I find this foundation to be similar in consistency to Nars Sheer Glow but glides over the skin seamlessly, covers all redness and is still in place after a busy shift at work.
It isn't immediately full coverage, but is definitely build able. I normally use around 3 pumps in order to achieve the fuller coverage look I want. (Without being mask-like).
It also has SPF 25 which is decent (although not necessary for me in the UK Winter Weather!).
YSL Touch Eclat
There isn't really anything to say that hasn't already been said about this little marvel. As the Diorskin forever foundation leans more towards Matte then glowy, I like to use this to highlight my face.

Urban Decay Primer Potion - Eden
This primer potion is a yellow based colour and keeps my eyeshadow from creasing all day. It's great with the Matte Naked Basics palette.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
Lovely palette, can't go wrong with a nice few neutral shades and it's perfect for travelling with the big mirror. Also it's quite competitively priced at only £20, but it's often included in online promotions so you can normally pick it up for around £15.

Nars Deep Throat Blush & Laguna Bronzer
I LOVE this blush. It is so versatile and goes with any make up look. It's quite natural looking, and is by far one of my favourite items.
Also I need a bit of colour in the Autumn and this bronzer does the job well!

Lipstick
Diorific 023 Diorella
This is a lovely shade (a rose muted red), and the scent makes a change from the usual MAC vanilla smell. It's easy to wear to work, and to wear casually for the weekends. Although I'm not mad keen on the packaging and price, I can overlook that for this lovely colour!
