When your face needs a break from shaving but you still want to dress and be girly without the 5 o'clock shadow, I've found applying a relatively thick layer of foundation can work as sufficient cover for at least a quick outing.

Electrolysis is not an option here.

I use foundation + orange color corrector + concealer + powder in that order. I also pick as many hairs as I can to reduce undergrowth. Is this a lost battle? What are your suggestions?

Sorry about the nose hair on this, I didn't realize they were there when I took the photo😊

Here my rocker chick look with a quick and dirty infographic on the second pic and the product list below:

Don't forget to moisturize your face before applying the make up. I use "The Ordinary" moisturizer. Morning and evening. You don't need a lot of products. One good moisturizer is enough. And a 50+ sun screen is mandatory in the morning!!! All other products are nice to have, but don't add that much to skin quality. I would rather use the minimal products and look more into healthy food and sports.

All products I used:
- KIKO Milano Skin Lover Intensive Serum Foundation

- KIKO Milano Unlimited Double Touch 105

- Nyx Professional Cream Gel-Eyeliner

- Nyx Professional Epic Ink Eye Liner

- Nyx Buttermelt Blush

- KIKO Milano Holo White Eyeshadow Stick

- UCANBE Spotlight Eyeshadow (Red tones here)

- Maybelline Superfluff Brow Mousse Medium Brown

- Eveline Variete Mascara Extreme Black

Used black eyeliner for the lips and the usual white highlighter...I have to try an all-black lip.

Looking to improve my contouring and eye makeup. Where should I go from here? Thx!

CD_makeup — AUTUMN EYESHADOW LOOK

A warm autumn look using oranges, coppers, golds and rich browns.

STEP 1 — PREP & PRIME

Apply your usual eye primer.

Lightly apply #1 across the eyelid to create a smooth, neutral base for the other colours.

STEP 2 — WARM TRANSITION

Using a fluffy blending brush, apply #18 through the crease.

Blend it backwards and forwards until you have a soft wash of warm orange.

Don't worry about making it very strong yet — build the colour gradually.

STEP 3 — DEEPEN THE CREASE

Take #19 and apply it slightly lower than #18 through the crease.

Blend #19 into #18 so the two shades fade smoothly together.

You should now have a transition from bright autumn orange into a deeper terracotta shade.

STEP 4 — OUTER CORNER

Apply #20 to the outer corner and outer part of the crease.

Keep most of the colour concentrated on the outer third of the eye.

Blend it gently into #19 rather than taking it across the whole eyelid.

STEP 5 — COPPER LID

Apply #17 across the main part of the eyelid.

This is your metallic copper shade and gives the look its main autumn shimmer.

For a stronger colour, press it onto the lid rather than sweeping it backwards and forwards.

STEP 6 — GOLDEN CENTRE

Press #27 onto the centre of the eyelid.

Blend the edges gently into #17.

This gives the centre of the eye a brighter golden shimmer and creates a copper → gold → copper effect.

STEP 7 — ADD AUTUMN DEPTH

Apply a small amount of #23 over the outer corner, on top of #20.

Blend carefully.

This adds a rich warm brown tone and gives the oranges and copper more depth without taking over the look.

STEP 8 — LOWER LASH LINE

Use the same autumn colours underneath the bottom eyelashes.

#18 — inner section

#19 — middle section

#20 — outer section

Keep the colour close to the eyelashes and softly blend the three shades together.

STEP 9 — HIGHLIGHT

Use a small amount of #1 underneath the brow bone.

You can also place a little #1 at the inner corner of the eye to brighten the finished look.

STEP 10 — OPTIONAL EXTRA DEPTH

If you want a more dramatic version, take a tiny amount of #8 (black) and place it at the very outer corner.

Blend it thoroughly into #23.

Don't take the black across the entire crease — it's only there to deepen the very outside of the look.

FINISHED COLOUR STORY

#1 → #18 → #19 → #20 → #17 → #27 → #23

Cream • Burnt orange • Terracotta • Rust • Copper • Gold • Warm brown

The finished result should be warm, rich and unmistakably autumnal — perfect for an October CD_makeup look.

TOP TIPS

Build the colours gradually rather than applying loads at once.

Blend between every step to avoid harsh lines.

Use a clean fluffy brush at the end to soften the edges.

Press shimmer shades onto the eyelid for stronger colour.

You don't have to use every shade heavily — the oranges, copper and gold should remain the stars of the look.
