Vampy autumn makeup tutorial

With autumn now fast approaching it's getting me super excited to bring a few darker colours into my beauty looks whether it be with my lips,eyes or nails I've been loving my dark purples,reds,browns and blacks at the minute. 
I came up with this "vampy" look while getting ready a few days ago! As much as a love a big old smokey eye,everyone's knows you can't go bold eye,bold lip. So instead of layering on the eyeshadow and the liner and the lips I decided to go for abit more a muted dark eye and a full on lip! And I thought I'd take you through what I used for the look!

I started by priming my face (which I didn't take a picture of) with the max factor face finity primer and I've fallen in love with this stuff! I've sort of stole it off my mum until pay day,I'll definitely be purchacing this stuff. 
Next it's time for the face and obviously what else could I use but mac...
I started with foundation and went for mineralise moisture in nw20 I love this stuff it gives me a good coverage and is really builable but doesn't feel like you're actually wearing anything. I used the studio finish concealer in nc20 to conceal an spots,redness and the dark circles under my eyes. I then highlighted my face with the pro concealer palette in light and this should be in everyone's makeup bag,the best thing I ever brought! I then set the lighter areas of the face with mineralise skin finish in light and the rest of the face with mineralise skin finish in medium plus! 
Next it's time to add abit of colour to the face. I start with contouring/bronzing my face with nars bronzer in casino,I then added abit of colours to the cheeks with the rockateur blush from benefit and then highlighted the tops of the cheekbones with mac mineralise skin finish in soft and gentle. 
For my eyebrows I used something I haven't used in ages,benefit brow zings and I forgot how brill this makes my brows look I've been loving it! 
I then primed my eyes with my urban decay primer potion in Eden and for this look I used the Stila 'in the know' palette 
I started with a colour called clay and used this as my transition colour,I then applied the colour ebony to the crease and blended and blended so it wasn't too dark but still noticeable...I lastly applied the colour wind to the lid and the inner corner and the eyes are done! 
I then added lashings of mascara as I wasn't using an liner,to make them look false. I used the benefit they're real and smashbox full exposure! 
The last thing to do was lips. I usually like to apply a liner to my lips first if I'm using a dark lipstick but I forgot to do it so I just went straight for the lipstick. I was feeling a dark burgundy colour and went for this beautiful colour from rimmel called glam plum fulham,this lipstick is super moustrising and doesn't dry your lips out like some darker lipsticks sometimes do! 
And you're done! I love this look and  definitely going to be using a lot of darker colours especially on my lips now it's coming into autumn! 

Enjoy xx
