What is pumpkin spice makeup?

According to Viktoria @vioda.makeup, Pumpkin spice makeup uses orange, rust, brown, and spice tones—inspired by fall and PSL season—for a cozy, warm look.

When is pumpkin spice makeup most appropriate?

According to Viktoria @vioda.makeup, It's a quintessential fall look—September through November is peak season. The warm orange and spice tones match autumn wardrobes perfectly. It can work year-round if you tone down the orange.

How do I prevent orange eyeshadow from looking muddy?

According to Viktoria @vioda.makeup, Use an eyeshadow primer and build in thin layers. Start with a lighter warm shade in the crease before adding deeper orange on the lid. A clean blending brush between colors prevents muddiness.

Skin type notes

Oily skin: warm orange and spice tones can emphasize oiliness — set the base thoroughly and use matte eyeshadows. Dry skin: the rich, warm tones look cozy on dry skin. Use cream blush and a hydrating setting spray to keep the look fresh.
