As summer comes to an end, the weather starts cooling down, leaves start falling, Starbucks drinks get yummier, sweaters get bigger, and makeup looks get bolder! For all my fellow beauty gurus out there, the change in the season means revamping your beauty collection. Whether it’s new fragrances, skin products, or makeup, fall is a fantastic time to change up your beauty routine! Here are my top five favorite beauty products to try out this fall.

 

1. Fall Fragrances

Time to put away your summer fragrances. Fall is full of amazing smells like pumpkin, apple cider, and cinnamon. Bath & Body Works is always my go to for fall scents because they have so many different kinds. Some of my top favorites this season are Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte, and Champagne Apple & Honey.

 

2.    Moisturizers & Cleansers

This is the time of year where people start to break out more due to super dry skin from the crisp fall weather. To avoid uncomfortable dry skin and to keep that summer glow, it’s important to use good moisturizers and skin cleansers. The best products that I’ve tried have been L’Oreal Paris Pure Clay Cleanser which helps detoxify and brighten your skin. Purchase the face mask form if you really feel like treating yourself! Another is Clinique’s Moisture Surge, which helps hydrate your skin and keep it fresh during the colder weather.

3.   Eye Palettes

Whether you like a full out smokey eye or an everyday natural look, deep reds, burnt orange, dark browns, and hints of gold or yellow are great colors to incorporate into your eyeshadow looks this fall! Some of my favorite pallets are Morphe’s Jaclyn Hill Palette and Anastasia’s Beverley Hills Soft Glam Palette.

 

4.   Dark Lipstick

To complete your fall look, a bold lip color is the way to go! Between dark reds, plums- and if you’re daring enough even black, this go to look for fall will definitely make you stand out! Long lasting lipsticks I like to use are Maybelline’s Color Sensation Vivid Matte Liquid in shade Possessed Plum, MAC’s Liquid Matte Lipstick in shade Sin or Too Faced Melted Matte Liquified Matte Lipstick in shade Evil Twin!

 

5.   Dark Nail Polishes

Say goodbye to last summer’s bright yellows and baby pinks! To go along with your smokey eyeshadow and bold lipstick, dark nail polishes are a great addition to complete your fashionable fall look! Essie always has fun colors that match every season. Some of my favorite colors for fall are Spiked With Style, Hang up The Heels, and Seeing Stars!

Fall is the best season to get creative with makeup looks and try new beauty products, so go get yourself a new bold lip color, nail polish, or a fresh fall fragrance…hopefully your bank account will be forgiving! Test out some of my top five favorites or go out and find what makes you feel fresh and confident as the new season approaches!
