“This Autumn It Girl loves layering and playing with texture. She breaks the rules and loves to look modern and glamorous. She’s obsessed with shimmer and shine and is never without a dusting of bronzer, no matter the season. She prefers to fake it not bake it with bronzing primers and a adding a warm faux glow to the skin.

Get The Look: The Autumn It Girl by Napoleon Perdis

STEP 1: CLEANSE 
Re-texturise the skin and begin to boost radiance with a thorough nourishing cleanse. Massage Balm Voyage Moisture Complex Cleanser and Makeup Remover all over the face, leave like a mask for 2-3 minutes, then spritz the face with Auto Pilot Moisture Mist and tissue off the excess residue.

STEP 2: HYDRATE AND PRIME 
Drench the skin with a serum that plumps the skin without leaving a physical texture on the surface; Smooth Auto Pilot Napoleon Complex Skin Renewal Serum over the face. Not to prime is a crime, so apply Auto Pilot Bronzing Primer for a fresh luminous foundation finish will last all day.

STEP 3: BROWS AND MASCARA FIRST 
Before any colour or coverage goes onto the face, start with your brows and a rich coat of mascara. These essential steps map out the rest of your look for you, telling you when to stop. With your brows done and your eyes defined with mascara, you may find you need less foundation, concealer and colour in your face, resulting in a more natural look. Define the brows with Eyebrow Pencil Pale Rider or Chocoholic and begin to build Total Bae Own It! Mascara Jet onto the top lashes.

STEP 4: PERFECT YOUR COMPLEXION
Counteract discolouration around the eye area with Mighty Concealer Pen and spot-conceal blemishes and pigmentation if needed. For an easily-applied and fused foundation finish, Auto Pilot BBB Cream over the feature focus area of the face – the centre triangle of features including the eyes, nose and chin – and build coverage as desired. Set and forget using Camera Finish Powder Foundation.

STEP 5: REFLECTIVE CONTOUR 
Out with the chocolate bars and in with reflection. To achieve this luminous look, blend Total Bae Tone It! Gold Seeker over the high-points of the face, the tops of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, Cupid’s bow and brow bone. Layer for a boost of shimmer with Loose Eye Dust.

STEP 6: SCUPLT THE EYES 
Sculpt and define the eyes with Total Bae Mark It! Expression. Blend the rust shade over the mobile lid, through the socket and along the lower lash line. Then create a modern fused finish with Mosaic Powder Bronzing to fuse the edges. Use a large fluffy brush like Sculpting Brush 10r to sweep the shadow through the socket of the eyes and along the lower lash line. Brighten the eyes with Loose Eye Dust Copper Element blending over the centre of the mobile lid. Pat and press Color Disc All That Shiraz onto the socket of the eye and outer corner of the eye and lower lash line. Make the eyes pop using Loose Eye Dust Contrary Contrary on the inner corner of the eye. Smoke out the eyes a little by smudging China Doll Gel Eyeliner Tao along the upper and lower lash lines, then finish the eyes with lashings of Total Bae Own It! Mascara Jet and Lashes Zinnia.

STEP 7: KISS THE FACE WITH COLOUR 
Like a kiss from the sun, sweep Total Bae Blush It! Risky Business over the apple of the cheeks and onto the cheekbones.

STEP 8: GO (NEARLY) NUDE
For a peachy pout, paint the lips with DeVine Goddess Lipstick SMP and finish with a slick of Luminous Lip Veil In the Flesh for a sexy, glossy finish.
