With summer ending, fall is right around the corner, which means cooler weather, leaves falling, and the decadent scents of pumpkin, apple, and cinnamon. Just like the harvest season, fall makeup is generally rich and warm. It would be best to mimic your natural characteristics with your makeup.
Eyeshadow offers the most versatility in shades, an ideal complement to the fall season. If you like neutral colors, go for olives, golds, and
beiges. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette from Sephora offers the best neutral colors. With 14 shades, it has matte, chrome, and metallic finishes. If you want accent colors, pick blues, purples, and greens. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Fall Romance Palette is the perfect blend of vivid pops of color and seductive, jewel-toned metallics. Please avoid lighter colors as they look light, icy, and not complimentary to fall.
During autumn, your eyeliner color should be dark blue, green, olive, or purple. Choose an eyeliner in a shade similar to your irises to make your eyes pop. Avoid black, as it is a bit too harsh for this time of year. The Trish McEvoy Intense Gel Eyeliner Pencil at Neiman Marcus is a fantastic, waterproof option that smoothly glides on your eyeline. This pencil is sure to make your eyes pop with its rich colors – my favorites are Bright Eyes, Emerald, and Espresso.
The right shade of blush for you must be as natural-looking as possible. Stay away from pink-colored blushes. Think reds and browns; light or dark depends on your skin tone. I recommend buying the NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush from Ulta Beauty. This blush is a buildable, lightweight liquid blush with all-day hydration. It gives your skin a natural-looking glow with a transfer-resistant formula that layers and blends without streaking.
Depending on your complexion, your lipstick color should be on the lighter side (burnt oranges and pinks) or the darker side (dark
browns and reds). Fall is the time to step away from the shimmer shades and opt for matte finishes. One excellent lipstick is the Silky Matte Lipstick from MAC Cosmetics. The lipstick’s formula is a creamy blend of organic cocoa butter, coconut oil, and shea butter, nourishing and conditioning the lips. The extensive color range, with 39 rich pigment shades – my favorites are Warm Teddy, Keep Dreaming, and Soar.
