Fall is upon us and it’s time to put away those bright summer colors, and break out the warmer tones. Don’t let the dark tones that emerge onto shelves in the fall intimidate you, allow yourself to try a new trend this year. If you live here in the Midwest your makeup can really make a statement when the rest of you is all covered and bundled up from the cold.
Dark Plum Lips
This is the biggest statement of them all! I know when I wear my favorite dark lip stain I feel like it’s the boldest part of my whole outfit. The best part about these lip stains is that they will last through a whole day of classes and many cups of Starbucks. One great brand to try for lip stain is NYX, it’s very affordable and the color is beautiful and long lasting.
Neutral Nails
My favorite part of my beauty routine is painting my nails, and when fall comes around I know it’s time to switch to warm neutral colors. Essie’s “Dress to Kilt” collection for this fall is by far a favorite. If you think neutral means boring, then I beg you to try this trend before you say that again. With these polishes the formula is flawless, long lasting, and the color will appear elegantly.
Jewel Toned Eyes
This trend goes beyond the smoky eye look, with this season’s trend you can play up gold and metallic, even burgundy. This look dominated this season’s runway, and you can own it too! To get this gorgeous look apply a shimmery gold all over your lid, next fill in the outer corner of your crease with a darker color such as plum or burgundy. Lastly, highlight up to your brows and the inner corners of your eye, and voila!
Cheek Stain
This product by Benefit Cosmetics is a staple for fall; the rich color provides the perfect tint that will last all day. As a bonus, this product can be used on your lips and cheeks, so it’s a must have for days when your crunched on time. The best part is how long it lasts, it can last for years, which makes it a great product to add to your collection.
