Autumn Glow From AM to PM: Skincare + Makeup Layering for Radiant Skin

Introduction: Why Layering Matters in Autumn 

Autumn air is dry and cooler, which can leave skin dehydrated and makeup patchy if your routine isn’t layered correctly. Layering isn’t just about piling products on, it’s about using the right textures and ingredients in the correct order to create a protective barrier, boost hydration, and enhance makeup wear. 

Step 1: Start With a Hydrating Base 

Kick off your AM routine with Velvet Symphony’s Radiance Serum Packed with antioxidants, it protects skin from pollution and free radicals while giving a subtle glow. Follow with Collagen Moisturise to lock in hydration. These layers prepare skin for makeup and ensure it looks luminous all day. 

Step 2: Primer for Longevity 

A primer is essential for both hydration and makeup longevity. Velvet Symphony’s Hydrating Primer 

 smooths the skin surface, fills in fine lines, and creates a canvas for flawless foundation application. Pro tip: use a light dab on dry areas for added moisture. 

Step 3: Foundation That Protects and Glows 

This fall, Full Cover Foundation 

 is perfect for a radiant, all-day look. Enriched with nourishing oils, it provides coverage without compromising skin health. Layer a thin coat for natural daytime wear or build for evening events. 

Step 4: Add Warm Autumn Tones 

For lips, brown shades remain key this season:  

Luscious latte Lipstick 

Pair with warm-toned eyeshadow and soft blush to complement your skin’s autumn glow. 

Step 5: Evening Refresh 

As temperatures drop and skin may lose moisture during the day, refresh your skin at

night with Overnight
Recovery Serum 

Layer over Collagen Moisturiser 

and add a drop of Hydrating Facial Oil 

for ultimate repair. This helps prep your skin for makeup tomorrow while maintaining hydration. 

Pro Tips: Layering for Lasting Autumn Glow 

Always start thin and build layers as needed. 

Match product textures to skin type (serum → moisturiser → primer → foundation). 

Don’t forget neck and décolletage for seamless coverage. 

Use warm-toned blushes and bronzers to complement brown lipstick shades. 

By following these layering steps, your autumn makeup will look flawless and your skin will remain hydrated, protected, and radiant from AM to PM.
