Hi guys! This is my fall clean beauty makeup routine. I should probably let you know I am a minimalist and the older I get (I’m 40) the less patience I have for beauty routines that take a lot of time. I’m also doing my best to “age gracefully” without all the toxins and fillers. (TRYING keyword there… no clue how I’ll feel about all this in 10 years). Therefore, I try to choose clean beauty products as often as I can. Why clean beauty? Here’s a post explaining why clean beauty is important. My spring routine is pretty similar, except I’ll switch over to a few pink shades. Most mornings, I spend about 5 minutes throwing on a tiny bit of makeup in the mornings and maybe 10 minutes for a date night or girls’ night.

My Fall Clean Beauty Makeup Routine

( All Counter Products Found Here)

My skin is prepped here with Counter’s Countertime Anti-Aging line. A VERY hydrating, clean beauty skincare line that targets fine lines, and wrinkles and lightens and brightens the skin. The main ingredient in this line is bakuchiol, which is a plant-based retinol. OBSESSED, to say the least! Oil cleanser, essence, serum, moisturizer, and eye cream. (If it’s summer & hot & humid, I leave out the moisturizer.)

Face

Depending on the time of day or event – what I put on my face may vary. If it’s a normal day nothing special, I’ll apply Counter’s Dew skin tinted moisturizer. Or if I’m going to church or date night, I’ll apply Counter’s skin twin foundation. I the apply concealer to brighten the under-eye area and any other areas with redness. Next up, oil-absorbing mattifying powder. This isn’t like the 1990’s Covergirl powder, think light and translucent, just there to soak up any excess oil, not to cake down or sink in the creases.
For fall and winter, I love Counter’s truffle cream blush.

Eyes

I use Counter’s cream eye shadow in dusk or sepia.
It makes application SUPER easy and stays all day, that’s why I love it. Lastly, I finish off the eyes with my favorite mascara, Thrive.

Lips

I have found the older I get a good lip liner is my best friend. It makes the lips appear bigger and fuller and lasts a long time. I line the outsides of my lip then usually blend with my finger. Lastly, I top this look off with my favorite clean beauty gloss! Can’t be beaten!

Brows

Brows are actually a very important part of my makeup routine. I find full brows really frame the face. I use a brow pencil to fill in any sparse areas.
