Beautiful Soft Winter Makeup

I love autumn and winter fashion - I love living in Canada where we get such beautiful seasons - but when It starts to cool off I think fashion and beauty just come alive. This winter is no different - the clothes and makeup are stunning. I will give a full review soon but think warms and neutrals for colours -Caramels, chocolates, burgundies , bronzes with a style ode to the 90 's extremes -very polished and lady like or grunge .

                                  

 On Josee we are clearly leaning towards ladylike -but still very soft. Because she is beautifully fair I opted for light colour choices but still kept them in the warm palette so she didn't look washed out.

This look would also look great with another fall trend which is the berry lip! So pretty loving it!
|These are some of my favorite products I use to create new looks all the time - one of my favorite drug store steals right now? Rimmel Lipsticks. The one in this photo is Nude Delight and only cost $3.94 !!
