Claire Ashley for Makeup Meltdown

August 28, 2015 Julien Garman

Summer’s winding down (even though I’m digging in my heels) which means the dreadful cooler weather, but also the gloriousness that is fall fashion. But style isn’t limited to clothing and accessories…in fact, lipstick is playing a huge part in my beauty routine this season. While the warmer months are easy for me (corals and pinks primarily), I have a harder time finding darker fall colors that look good on me.

THANKFULLY there are people in this world like Claire Ashley who can do magic tricks with makeup and teaches us all how to get that perfect summer glow or the easiest braid crown in 10 minutes or less. And luckily for us, this beauty whiz is coming out with her own line of gorgeous fall lipsticks! Here’s a sneak peek into CLAIRE ASHLEY for Makeup Meltdown Limited Edition Collection releasing on September 1!

ANGUILLA
Meet your new favorite everyday lipstick. It’s mauve tones give it a bump up from a neutral - basically an upgrade to my own lip color. I can already tell this will be a favorite of mine. All of the shades have the best scent too - even though they’re long lasting, I simply enjoy the act of reapplying them just for the flavor! You can see the shade on me here! Pairs well with a navy sheath and fringe booties.

SIREN
Spoiler alert: This is my FAVORITE shade. Maybe ever. It’s a game changer. The cool orange tones have already overtaken me and it’s not even fall yet. GREAT STORY with this shade (which just goes to show you how often I wear lipstick.) I wore Siren to work last week and one of my coworkers did a double take (no joke) before our meeting and said, “Oh! I like your cool new look!” I died. But it just goes to show you how powerful a shade can be. Pairs well with bold culottes and a silk tank.

MANHATTAN
Also known as The Shade That Converted Me To Be A Berry Lipstick Lover. I was honestly surprised by how great this shade is. It looks purple from the tube, but it goes on a gorgeous berry shade. Wear this in the evening now for a date night or during the fall for brunch with your baes. Pairs well with a leather moto jacket and high waisted skinny jeans.

Thanks so much to Makeup Meltdown for sending me these shades to try!

I’ve been looking for an all-natural way to brighten my teeth during pregnancy and so glad I found @biancosmile and their activated charcoal powder! Plus I have really sensitive teeth and this has been great for me so far! Want to try? Get 15% off your order with code: JULIEN15 😁
Paris or Georgetown? I’ll never tell 😏
Nasty weather today but a cute blouse makes everything better, right?! 🤗 Shop this one and a few others I’m loving from @sezane in Stories or screenshot to shop this pic with the @liketoknow.it  app! http://liketk.it/2vr9K #liketkit #sezane #boho #frenchstyle
A little bump’date: Baby G (as we have been calling her) aka our little coffee bean - is now the size of an eggplant! I’m just about 6 months in, on my last leg of wearing anything non-maternity, have bought 3 baby books and read none of them, craving sweets more than usual, and have trouble getting off my couch at nighttime 👍 #24weeks #maternitystyle #letote #amandauprichard
Back in high school, I was somewhat of an overachiever...and that's putting it lightly. I was captain of the varsity basketball team, a member of the choir, vice president of our class, a straight-A student, and an RA in our dorms. If I could go back and share something with myself and my friends through a yearbook quote, it'd be this: JUST BREATHE. ⭐️
And still now - I try my best to live life to the very fullest, but lately I've been learning that sometimes it's ok to step back, relax, and just breathe...to let go of the unrealistic expectations I put on myself and celebrate the person I am right here, right now. Being a member of the @almay #AlmayClassof2018 has reminded me that being unique, quirky, and just plain ol' myself is more than just ok - it's perfect. What yearbook quote do you live by these days? I'd love to know! #sponsored
Really hoping these April showers bring more of these 👆👆👆 Photo of the most magical tree in Georgetown (although I recently found out it’s technically a bush🧐) by @jahnschavez #georgetown #aprilshowers #flower_igers #flowerstagram
Not the worst way to wake up 💁🏼‍♀️ @ludlowhotelnyc #nyc #newyorkcity #ludlowhotel
6:00 is a good time for coffee, right?
24 weeks today!! Saw baby kick inside my tummy last night, which was definitely one of the coolest things I’ve experienced in this pregnancy so far! Also sporting this cool @ganni jacket I got from @theoutnet even though I wore it in the last post because 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ and I like it. Shop my look (all non-maternity except the skirt!) with the @liketoknow.it app or in Stories today! http://liketk.it/2vmBb #liketkit #LTKitbag
