Berry crush: Best fruity-shade beauty products for autumn
UPDATE your make-up with autumn’s fruity shades.
From left, clockwise:
By Terry Terrybly Velvet Rouge in Palace Garnet £30, Space NK stores and uk.spacenk.com
This rich, highly-pigmented lip gloss is a pure hit of colour with a satin sheen – think dewy rather than sticky. With a curved brush to enhance the lips’ contours, this glides on and lasts for hours. Pat a small amount on to lips for a just-bitten stain, or build up the layers for a bold look.
Rimmel Kate ScandalEyes Rockin’ Curves Mascara in Amethyst £7.49, available nationwide
For rock-star lashes worthy of Kate Moss herself, try swapping your regular black mascara for this dark purple one. The distinctive curved brush gets every tiny lash and gives them dramatic volume and curl. If purple mascara still sounds a bit scary, try just added to the lash tips.
Jacava London Nail Polish in Montrose Place £15.50, jacava.com
As the evenings get darker, so do nail colours, but this deep claret polish will happily become one of your year-round staples, and it’s free from the nine key chemicals usually found in varnishes. The elegant, old-fashioned bottle will add a touch of glamour to your dressing table too.
Lord & Berry Seta Eyeshadows £11, Selfridges and selfridges.com
For a different take on a smoky eye, try swapping your usual palette of greys and blacks for purple. To avoid looking like you’ve got two black eyes, don’t work the colour too far up the lid. Lord & Berry’s eyeshadows are silky and easily blendable – Saloon and Layla are our favourite shades.
No7 Powder Blusher in Berry Crush £9, Boots stores and boots.com
This rich raspberry blusher is perfect for perking up dull complexions.
The formula is made up of micro-fine powders and is velvety-soft, plus it also contains vitamin E to care for skin as the weather turns colder. Balance this strong shade with a vivid-coloured lipstick.
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Berry Naughty £16, Selfridges and charlottetilbury.com
Take a tip from professional make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury and use this soft lip pencil to perfect your pout – it defines the shape and keeps lipstick locked in place for longer. This shade is great for darker skin tones or paired with her matching lipstick shade, Love Liberty.
Autograph Twist-Up Lip Colour in Plum £10, M&S stores and marksandspencer.com
This limited-edition chubby crayon is a foolproof way to add a rich blackberry colour to lips. The stick is a soft, creamy balm, so won’t stain or dry out lips, and one sweep is all you need for an intense colour. It’s a handbag must-have this season.
Dolce & Gabbana Shine Lipstick in Sophia Loren No1 £31, Harrods and harrods.com
One of D&G’s biggest muses, the designer duo have honoured the screen siren with her own limited-edition shade of lipstick. A rich cherry pinky-red, the creamy formula was created to capture her Italian style – but you don’t need to be a Hollywood icon to pull it off.
