Makeup is meant to emphasize you — your mood, daily rhythm, evening plans. Below you'll find a practical guide to face, eye and lip makeup that will help you build a long-lasting, fresh look for September and the whole autumn — from lightly glowing skin, through an effortless liner, to comfortable, caring lips.
Opt for lightweight mineral formulas for the complexion, waterproof accents for the eyes and nourishing colors for the lips.
Makeup for September: which effects work now?
The best combination is fresh, soft skin + a precise but easy-to-control eye accent + a comfortable color on the lips. This trio looks good in daylight and doesn't require frequent touch-ups when the weather is unpredictable.
- Complexion: radiant but not shiny; visually smooth, without a “mask”.
- Eyes: a liner that doesn't smudge in rain or fog.
- Lips: soft, nourishing finishes (oils, crayon lipsticks) that don't emphasize dryness.
Morning chill, a cup of coffee and the first September sun. Three steps are enough: mineral powder, a quick liner, an oil or matte crayon — and you're ready.
Complexion: foundation or mineral powder? Or both?
If you like lightness and buildable coverage — choose loose mineral formulas. For more even skin tone — reach for a covering foundation and use powder to finish.
1) Light, buildable coverage for everyday
- Mineral loose powder and foundation Illuminated Skin – Natural Beige: from light to medium coverage, silky finish with a subtle glow, 100% mineral formula; contains illuminating particles and pink clay that helps visually smooth the complexion.
- Mineral loose powder and foundation Perfect Skin – Medium Beige: for those who prefer a more “smoothed”, classic mineral finish and multifunctionality (foundation/powder/touch-up during the day).
Tip: you can wear loose minerals alone (over cream), spot-apply them (like a concealer) or lightly set liquid foundation with them.
2) When you want stronger color correction
- Covering face foundation Even & Perfect Skin (shades: Natural/Medium Beige): evens out skin tone, masks imperfections and signs of fatigue while maintaining a natural effect.
3) A radiant finish without overdoing it
- Natural highlighter – Gold shade: finely milled, subtly light-reflecting particles; lightweight, well-blending texture, suitable for sensitive skin too. Apply to cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid's bow.
Eyes: a classic liner that lasts all day
Choose waterproof, highly pigmented formulas that don't migrate or fade.
- Liquid eyeliner – intense color, high-precision applicator and durability; designed to hold the liner shape for many hours.
- Waterproof eye pencil – Deep Black – a soft stick that delivers a smooth line and resists challenging conditions; ideal alone or to enhance the waterline.
Quick everyday liner routine: start at 2/3 of the lid length, darken the lash base with short “stamps”, finish with a slight upward flick at the end.
Lips: comfort + color, without dryness
In autumn, nourishing formulas win (oils, waxes) that also add color or shine.
- Nourishing lip oil “plump lip effect” – Vanilla: contains warming ginger extract that improves microcirculation and subtly enhances the lips (a “plumper” effect) — great under or instead of color.
- Matte crayon lipstick – Powder Pink: highly pigmented formula with prickly pear oil and Carnauba/Candelilla waxes; provides an elegant, satin-matte finish and helps protect against moisture loss.
How to choose a finish?
- For daytime: oil alone (“juicy lips” effect) or a crayon lightly smudged with a finger.
- For evening: crayon + a bit of highlighter on the cupid's bow.
Simple makeup plan (5 minutes)
- Complexion (60–90 s): on moisturized skin, press a thin layer of mineral powder in (circular motions with a kabuki brush).
- Correction (30 s): add a little mineral product locally where needed.
- Eyes (60–90 s): liner in 2–3 short strokes with eyeliner or pencil.
- Glow (20 s): dab highlighter on the cheekbones.
- Lips (20–30 s): oil or crayon, depending on your plans for the day.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
- Too heavy complexion: a too-covering product applied all over the face. Instead: layer minerals only where needed.
- Smudged liner: lack of a waterproof formula. Instead: use long-wear eyeliner/pencil.
- Dry lips after matte lipsticks: lack of care. Instead: apply oil under color or use a crayon with emollients.
- Too intense highlighter: applied with a powder brush. Instead: use a small fluffy brush and build in layers.
- Lack of color harmony: cool pink with a warm brown on the lid. Instead: stick to one temperature (warm/cool).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is mineral makeup suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes — 100% mineral formulas and lightweight powders are often well tolerated by sensitive skin. At Prouvé you can find such solutions in the loose powder/foundation range.
Will highlighter emphasize pores?
If applied with a small brush and in minimal amounts, finely milled particles will give a smooth “glow” effect rather than shine across the whole face.
Eyeliner or pencil — what to choose for a rainy day?
Choose waterproof formulas: a high-adhesion liquid eyeliner or a long-wear pencil resistant to smudging.
What for chapped lips in autumn?
First care: a lip oil with emollients and an ingredient that stimulates microcirculation (e.g., ginger). Color can be added with a creamy pencil.
Can I combine liquid foundation with mineral powder?
Yes — a light layer of mineral powder sets foundation well and mattifies the T-zone without weighing it down.
