Autumn is fast approaching, and as the seasons change so does your makeup. We leave behind the summery aqua and hot coral. We favour bronze and purple as to infuse rich colour in to the longer evenings and cooler days.

However well you apply your lipstick it's inevitable that you will need to reapply it later on.  Eating, drinking, laughing and kissing your long lost friends all take their toll on your lipstick!  Here are some tips and product ideas from e.l.f. on how to keep your lipstick looking fresh and fabulous.

If the last last few days were anything to go by, we’re set for a long, hot summer full of BBQs and lazy afternoons in the park. However with the sunshine comes the heat, which can often lead to a make up disaster especially for those of us that need to commute and work from an office in the hot months. Never fear, because e.l.f. is on hand to keep you, and your make up, looking as cool as a cucumber all day long. 

Add a touch of Studio Translucent Matte Powder to keep skin looking matte. This ‘wonder powder’ instantly mattifies skin and diminishes oil and shine to give a healthy look.

Finally, in case you want to refresh your make up after work for a night out with the girls, keep e.l.f’s Professional Travel Brush Kit with you at all times. Small enough to fit into any clutch, this fab collection means you can touch up your make up on the go. Now – Pimms o’clock anyone?
