Hi, lovelies! 💛 I hope you’re having a fantastic afternoon! Y’ALL…I got a haircut! I’m pretty sure the stylist cut off about 5-6 inches. It was quite a big change since I’ve had the same hairstyle for a while! Funny enough, I always seem to cut my hair into a “bob” style or try something new during the fall season. Changing my hairstyle this week felt like a new start. I also decided to experiment a bit and created a soft autumn makeup look! 🍁
I think I feel the most “like myself” and confident with short hair for some reason. I’m not sure why. Whenever I walk, my hair kind of just bounces with me. Plus, it’s so much easier to style, especially since I have wavy/curly hair.
For today’s post, I thought it’d be fun to welcome November with a glittery and soft autumn makeup look. I’m featuring my new haircut too, of course! 💓
Golden Leaves | Autumn Makeup Look
First things first…a classic golden smokey eye! This has to be my fav makeup look to create because it’s just so glamorous and perfect for autumn/winter. For this particular look, I envision a beautiful day at the park. Autumn leaves paint every tree with stunning shades of gold, red, brown, and yellow. 🍂
Step 1: Eyes
Usually, I’ll apply eyeliner before anything else. This step can get pretty tricky, but I’ve found a routine that works best for me. L’Oreal Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner is my go-to because it’s a crayon eyeliner. First, I start with my upper eyelid and draw the line thicker as I reach the outer corner of my lid. For this look, I created a more dramatic wing.
A trick I’ve learned throughout the years: Draw the wing diagonally (not too upwards) and add on the eyeliner slowly.
Afterwards, I added eyeshadow. I used various shades from Urban Decay’s Naked palette, which I picked up for the first time last week. This is such a stunning “neutral” palette. The shades blend easily. Plus, they’re long lasting and super pigmented.
Of course, I’m late to the party and Urban Decay announced that they’re discontinuing their original Naked palette. WHY OH WHY. On the bright side, you can still pick one up for only $27! According to their site, the original price was $54 *Don’t mind me, casually running to Ulta and picking up 10 more palettes*
I applied the shade “Virgin” (pale beige) on my whole lid and eyebrow bone. Then, I added “Sin” (pale nude) on just my lid. Later, I blended out “Naked” (nude) “Buck” (fawn brown) and “Smog” (coppery bronze) on my crease. For more texture and definition, I decided to use “Dark Horse” (deep mocha) on the outer corner of my eyes.
To finish off the look and “glam” it up a bit, I applied ColourPop’s “Cheap Date” (gold with silver glitter) on my lid! Finally, I chose L’Oreal’s Voluminous Million Lashes for my mascara!
Step 2: Face
After my eyeshadow look is complete, I’ll typically keep it simple with highlighter and blush. My go-to blush right now is Milani’s Dolce Pink Baked Blush because it has such a pretty, rosy shade.
I only add a small amount with a fluffy brush, since the blush is quite pigmented. I love ColourPop’s highlighter, especially their “Lunch Money” variety. It leaves your skin so dewy and glowing! I’ve already hit pan on it, y’all!
Step 3: Lips
A few posts back, I mentioned trying ColourPop’s Lux lipsticks for the first time. The color payoff was incredible. Even though I had issues with smudging, I wanted to try out more lipsticks because of their vibrant colors and affordability. “On Display” (the first shade I tried) was bold and lasted throughout the day.
I’m so glad I went back to Ulta and picked up a couple more of their lipsticks. They’re great quality, and super vibrant and fun!
For this particular look, I chose “Hello Stranger” (burgundy). I thought it’d be the perfect lippie to compliment a glittery eyeshadow!
That’s it for my glittery autumn look! Here’s to a magical November!
I hope that you enjoyed this post, lovelies! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
What do you think of my glittery and soft autumn makeup look? Have you tried any of these products? Also, what’s your go-to makeup look during the fall season? 💖
Short hair really suits you. That lipstick looks great, i never tried Colourpop make up.
Thank you, hon! You’re so sweet!! I totally recommend ColourPop. Their makeup is affordable and nice quality! 💗
Love the haircut, Nunzia! It looks great on you. I’ve never used a UD palette but I’ve used their single eyeshadows! The formula is amazing! & I’ve always wanted to try Colourpop. That lippie looks gorgeous on you & the packaging of it is so adorable.
Love love love this look! It’s absolutely perfect for this season. ♡
Thank you, Hunida! You’re so sweet!! 💛 I actually saw the single eyeshadows at Ulta, they looked soooo pretty!! 💓I love UD’s lipsticks, and really wanted to give the Naked palette a try, since I read some awesome reviews about it. It’s a new fav of mine right now, too bad it’s getting discontinued 😭😭
ColourPop has so many great quality and affordable products, girl! Would def recommend them!! 💖x
Well hey! At least you snagged a palette before it was discontinued. 😀 I have a feeling they’ll come out with a new & improved one that’s similar in the future?
I went on ColourPop & was so overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to start & when to stop so in the end I got nothing!
Sooo true–in a way, it was good timing lol!! 😂And oh yeah, I can see that happening in the future, especially with all this feedback they’re getting from their customers! I guess we’ll see what happens!!
I felt exactly the same way the first time I checked out their website! ColourPop comes out with new products all the time–it can be a lot lol!! Personally, I really like their super shock eyeshadows (they’re packaged in single eyeshadows like UD’s) I also recommend their highlighters (I use one called “Lunch Money” pretty much every day lol) and their Lux Lipsticks are pretty. I did experience some smudging, but the color payoff is AMAZING and they last a while!! 💓x
Really LOVING the dark lip color on you.

Awww, thank you so much, Terry!!! 💓x
I love your hair & your makeup look is gorgeous! You’re beautiful ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words, darling!! 💓x
You look beautiful! Short hair suits you, short hair always looks so effortless. It’s also so much easier to style, I had short hair last year and it was so low maintenance it was awesome.
I’m sad the Naked palette was discontinued but it’s nice that you got it on sale! $27 is a great deal!
That lipstick shade completes the look so well. Have a wonderful November!
Thank you, Cleia!! 💛Omg, it truly is more low maintenance! I wasn’t really used to long hair since I haven’t had it past my shoulders in a while, but I reached a point where I didn’t know how to style it anymore. Now I just put on my styling cream, straighten my bangs, and call it a day lol! 😂
I was shocked when I saw the price haha, and had no idea about it being discontinued till after purchasing the palette! It seems like everybody is bummed about it being discontinued. 😞Maybe Urban Decay will change their minds? I sure hope so!
Thanks, dear!! 💖I hope that you have a wonderful November as well! And a great start to your week too! Seems like the weekend went by so fast! x
That sounds so simple! I usually just put my hair in a pony tail. A little boring but it works! I cut my hair today and got bangs though, I’ve been wanting to change my hair style for a while now 😁
I’m sure they’ll rerelease it in a year or so as limited edition! Brands do stuff like that all the time 😄
Thank you so much! 😊
Your hair looks so swish!! I so didn’t know that UD are discontinuing their palette!?xx
Thanks so much, love!! 💓
Apparently they are 😭😭I’m soooo late to this palette, Chloe!! When I found out I was SO bummed. It’s such a great everyday palette, idk why they would discontinue it!! :/ I’m seriously thinking of going back to the store and buying a few more before they’re gone!! x
Hey Nunzia it’s mom. I really liked the eye shadow palette . Great post:)
Hi, Ma!!! 💕AW, thank you!! I’m glad you liked the post! When I come over next time, I should do your makeup!!! That’d be so much fun! 💛Love ya! x
Love your new hair cut, it makes you look so put together and classic. Also love the makeup look, gotta love a bit of sparkle and glitter. xx
Thanks, darling!! I haven’t had short hair in a while, but I really missed it! I was kinda going for an Audrey Hepburn vibe, since she’s one of my biggest style icons! 💓And soooo true–glittery eyeshadow always adds a nice touch of glam to any makeup look!! hehe x
You are so stunning and I adore your new haircut! It’s sad Urban Decay are discontinuing the NAKED palette, I bet sales have soared in the past few months with people not wanting to miss out! That Milani blush looks so subtle and pretty with that deep, rich burgundy lip colour x
Ahhhh, Chanelle you’re such a sweetheart!! Thank you so much, hon!! 🌟
I was absolutely shocked to hear they’re discontinuing it. I actually found out while linking the palette to my blog post cause I kept seeing posts on Google about it getting discontinued :/ So odd, cause isn’t the Naked palette one of Urban Decay’s best sellers? Of course, I had to be late to the game 🤣
Oh yes, they’ve def been getting a lot of sales I bet!! Especially with it being only $27 now. I wonder if their other “Naked” palette varieties are as good?!
Thanks, dear! I LOVE a bold lipstick with subtle blush, it’s my fav makeup look to create!! x ☺️
Maybe the spike in sales will change their minds. I have a dupe of the palette which I have been loving lately myself!
Oooh, really?! Please do share, girl!! I love me a good dupe hehe!! 💓💛
The Iconic 1 palette by Makeup Revolution. I don’t have the Naked palette to compare formula and pigmentation etc. but it is a well known dupe 👍🏻
How cool, just looked it up and the palette looks gorgeous!!! It is so similar to UD’s shades and only $7.00?! What a steal! Thanks for the recommendation, Chanelle! 💓💛
Yoire welcome x
your hair looks amazing! & milani definitely knows how to make a good blush, i have luminoso 🙌🏻
Aww, thank you, dear!!! 💖They really do! I’ve bought other blushes from diff brands, but I always go back to Milani. You know what, I’ve never tried luminoso, but I’ll have to pick it up at Ulta the next time I go makeup shopping. My poor wallet is shook by all of these makeup purchases lol!!! 😂😂😂
Gorgeous haircut! It really suits you. Do you use product on your curls? And I love the highlighter colour, it looks so soft and glowy. ❤️
Thanks, love!! 💓💖Lately, I’ve been using Cibu repair shampoo and their curl magnet cream. I loooove both products so much and would totally recommend! My hair stylist at the salon recommended them to me cause I have pretty sensitive skin and she said the ingredients are gentle. 😊I’m thinking of writing a post about all of my fave hair products soon! 💛
Omg, ColourPop’s highlighters always blow me away. They’re soooo pretty and super affordable! 💓
Hope you’re having a great Sunday, btw!! x
