Fall is here and so is our favorite makeup season! Bring on the golds, taupes and dark nudes, we’re ready for you.
Highlight
The highlighting trend has not left us! Take your summer glow into the fall with gold based highlights. Jaclyn Hill, YouTube superstar, recently collaborated with Becca Cosmetics for the limited edition Champagne Pop highlight shade- perfect for a “fall glow”. Get it before it’s gone!
o Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector® Pressed – Champagne Pop ($38)
o Looking for a less expensive option? Try NYX Cosmetics Illuminator in Ritualistic ($8.99)

Dark Eyes
Deepen up those eyes for fall! Step out of your comfort zone and incorporate some darker chocolate browns, a deep cranberry shade, or even a deep plum! Don’t be intimidated by dark shadows.
o Urban Decay Naked Smoky palette ($54)
o Less expensive option – Makeup Geek shadows. These high quality shadows start at just $6! Make your own custom fall palette with colors like Frappe, Roulette, Gold Digger and Pretentious (just to name a few).
Dark Lips
Venture to the dark side with your lip color too this fall! Make sure to prime with a hydrating lip balm and matching lip liner, then go for it. Channel your inner Kylie with a darker nude like MAC’s Viva Glam VI or Whirl, or go extreme with shades like Hang-Up and Quelle Surprise ($17)
o A drugstore alternative are the Milani lipsticks. They’re high quality, long lasting, and not drying. And for $5.99 they’re a perfect collection grower! Find them at any drugstore or online here.
Matte Lips
o While we’re talking about lips, let’s go matte. Matte lips are HUGE right now. Some of our favorites are more on the high end side, just for their amazing pigmentation and staying power.
o Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick ($20)
o Lime Crime Velvetines Lipstick ($20)
o Now these two are both AMAZING, another great product (but only available online) are the Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lips at $6 each! We’re obsessed with this super affordable company lately (be sure to check out their eyeshadows if you order too!).
Pop of Color
Another great tip for fall is adding a pop of color. Dark eyes can get a little dreary sometimes, so adding a color under the waterline or a colored eye liner can really lighten things up without becoming cartoony. Add a gold shimmer shade on the lower lash line, switch your black liner out for a deep plum or hunter green, or go full force with a bright color on the lash line! This will bring attention to the eyes, but still keep it subtle. This chart will show you colors that compliment your eye shade to bring out that natural sparkle.
