If you’re on the hunt for a signature fall makeup look, Ernesto suggests opting for deeper lip colors like plum – we’re currently obsessed with our Liquid Matte Lipstick in the shade Famous, $20! Plus, our Liquid Matte lipsticks are transfer-proof and, most importantly, mask-proof, so you don’t have to touch up throughout the day. Another liquid formula we’ve been using non-stop thanks to its awesome staying power is the NYX Professional Makeup Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in the shade Cherry Kiss, $7.

If you’re worried about lipstick formulas transferring onto your mask, Ernesto has a solution: “Because we are wearing masks in these times, I’m also loving the look of a wash of color on the eyes with unusual shades like mossy greens and taupe plums.” The matte shades in our new Haze Obsessions Palettes in Khaki, Purple, and Sand, $29, are perfect for this technique – they’re so buttery and are ideal for washing over the lid with a soft, fluffy brush. If you’re looking to intensify your look, Ernesto also adds, “My favorite way to transition a day look into an evening look is to throw on a pair of lashes and pop on some shimmer on the lid.” We couldn’t agree more!

The modern smokey eye is seriously trending right now, so we had to get Ernesto’s go-to smokey eye technique… “When it comes to creating a smoky eye, you can never go wrong with dark eyeliner and building from there. Line the entire eye with the liner and smoke it out using a matte shadow.” For more tips on how to create a modern smokey eye, read this.

Ernesto recently created this look with our new Haze Obsession Palette in Khaki, $29, and we’re obsessed! So of course, we had to ask him how to recreate this show-stopping beat: “To get the look I created on my model, have fun layering matte shades all over the eye and then just pop one of the shimmers on the center of the lid with your fingers.” He also suggests, “When working with deeper complexions, I like to either apply a concealer lighter than their complexion to the eye or a cream shadow as a base just so that the pigments pop more.”

If you’re looking to create a quick five-minute makeup look, Ernesto suggests to “Simply focus on your best features. Love your eyes? Play them up with mascara and a wash of shadow on a complementary color. Keep everything else simple.”
