It’s Autumn already. How did that happen? It was New Year’s Eve only five minutes ago!
A change in season generally includes us seeking inspiration via social media, online and from magazines for trends and looks we can incorporate into our wardrobe, hairstyles and of course make-up. Inevitably, this currently includes us doing a wardrobe makeover; figuring out what we will wear again this Autumn, what needs to be updated, and what can be turfed or given to a favourite charity.
In the past year fashion runways around the world have seen Autumn make-up looks focused on warm, dramatic and colourful eye looks finished with a berry or natural lip.
Luckily for us, the 2018 Fall Fashion Weeks are just wrapping up in Paris, and that means we’ve got lots of looks to use as inspiration here in Australia.
We’ve plucked three looks straight from the runway as Autumn eye make-up inspiration, and put together a step by step for how you too can create each eye look with a selection of the Nude by Nature make-up collection.
1) First up, is the gorgeous Kaia Gerber at the Alexander Wang show, at New York Fashion Week.
Step One: To have a long wearing, crease free eye, prepare with the Perfecting Eye Primer.
Step Two: Using the Shimmering Sands Loose Eyeshadow in White Sand, press the pigment onto the mobile lid and then gently blend the edges nearly up to the brow and inner corner.
Step Three: Blend the Natural Illusion Pressed Eyeshadow in shade Sunset though the crease, outer corners of the lid and along the bottom lash line.
Step Four: On the top lid only, line with the Contour Eye Pencil in Brown and smudge it out for a very soft effect. Complete with lashings of the Allure Defining Mascara on top and bottom lashes.

2) Next, is a look created for London Fashion Week focused around a subtle smudged eye.
Step One: Use the Contour Eye Pencil in Brown along the upper and lower lashes. Don’t be too concerned about the detail as you will then use the smudger tip to completely blur around the eye. You’re wanting to create a faint definition, not a solid line.
Step Two: With the Natural Illusion Pressed Eyeshadow in shade Sunset create a gentle wash across the lid and through the crease and continue under the eye. Again, it’s not about solid pigment with this look, just subtle washes of colour.
Step Three: With the Shimmering Sands Loose Eyeshadow in White Sand, dip the Eye Shadow Brush from the Essential Collection Brush Set into the pigment then tap off the excess. On the centre of the lid create a pop of shimmer and blend toward the inner corner, with a little also under the brow.
Step Four: Complete with lashings of the Allure Defining Mascara on top lashes only.

3) Final look is also from London Fashion Week; at the Temperley show.
Step One: To have a long wearing, crease free eye, prepare with the Perfecting Eye Primer.
Step Two: Using the Shimmering Sands Loose Eyeshadow in Coral Sand, press the pigment onto the mobile lid and then gently blend the edges nearly right up to the brow and inner corner (remember; you are blending it softly out, not a solid application of the pigment). Then apply softly to the bottom lash line.
Step Three: With the Shimmering Sands Loose Eyeshadow in White Sand, highlight under the brow bone and the inner corner and blend into the Shimmering Sands Loose Eyeshadow Coral Sand to create a slight amber effect.
Step Four: On the top lid only, create a tight line with the Contour Eye Pencil in Brown then get slightly heavier on the outer lids. Complete with lashings of the Allure Defining Mascara on top and bottom lashes.
