As summer comes to an end, there are some things we just can’t help but look forward to as fall approaches. But who are we kidding right? There’s no such thing as the four seasons here in our sunny island and pumpkin spiced latte is still not a thing at Starbucks Singapore. But are they gonna stop us from embracing the season of orange-errthang? Hell no. Instead, we’re going to dress cozily for fall and fill our wardrobes with warm neutral tones, make our own PSL, and wear PSL-inspired makeup. Yeap, pumpkin spice makeup.
Now, we’ve talked about how copper rose makeup has been making the rounds on Instagram, haven’t we? Well, pumpkin spice makeup is really just a variation of that. Copper-based as well, the PSL-inspired look also includes colours like warm orange, earthy browns, and burnt reds. As reported by Allure, “the copper-toned burnt orange, cinnamon, and sepia hues – all of which can be used to create PSL-inspired looks – not only look stunning on every skin tone, but will also instantly get you in the mood of all things fall.”
Plus, this look is extremely easy to pull off, with the colours available in almost every decent warm eyeshadow palette you can find. Following the steps in our copper rose makeup piece, all you have to do is to set the base with the browns and blend the warm-toned orange at the crease. Add some fiery reds for that extra kick and copper rust effect, or dab a shimmery gold number at the center of the lids. Oh, and don’t forget to warm up the under eyes as well!
For the full effect, go monochromatic (also another Instagram trend to rock this season) by matching your lip colour with your eyeshadow shades. While a different lip colour provides a nice contrast, staying committed and going full-on with that whole PSL theme makes just as much a statement too.
Get warm and cozy this coming fall and spice up your makeup, because what can possibly go wrong with anything pumpkin spiced, right?
