There’s no getting around the fact that the nights are getting cooler and summer is coming to an end. You’re probably thinking about switching out your summer clothes and replacing them with warmer garments. Good move! However, now is also the time to make changes to your cosmetics bag so that you’re ready for fall when it comes to your makeup. Use these easy tips to get your stash ready for autumn and you’ll look and feel gorgeous each and every day.
1. Look for Products with Less Glitter and Shimmer

I’m not saying you should never wear shiny stuff, but when the weather starts to turn cool, it’s nice to lay off the bright summer shine you rocked at the pool and the beach. A subtle shimmer is just fine, but try to stay away from makeup that has big bits of glitter or that is super shiny.
2. Keep Using Products That Contain SPF

Just because you aren’t spending as much time outside doesn’t mean you should stop protecting your skin from sun damage. Make sure you still wear foundation with SPF in it as well as also wearing an SPF facial cream. This will offer protection from the sun when you’re driving or take a lunchtime stroll to see the leaves change. You can still get skin cancer in the winter, so it’s best to stay protected all year round.

3. Try Something a Bit Darker than You’re Used to

Pastel colors are awesome for spring and summer, but I like to go for darker colors in the fall and winter. If you usually go for lavender, try plum on your eyelids. If you generally wear pink blush, try a bronzer shade for something new and different. The start of fall is a great time to try something new, so give it a go this year!

Embracing the autumn palette can be a refreshing change. Swap out your light eyeliners for rich browns or charcoal greys to define your eyes with a bolder statement. Experiment with matte lip colors in deep reds, burgundy, or even a daring blackberry to warm up your look as the temperature drops. For nails, consider chocolate, deep navy, or a sultry hunter green to stay on-trend. These small shifts in your makeup routine can make a big impact, reflecting the season's cozy and sophisticated vibe. Don’t shy away; let the rich, deep hues of fall inspire a stunning transformation.
4. Go for Bolder Brows for Fall

Makeup experts say that bold brows are perfect for fall. Don’t worry that you’ll look overgrown or manly. The trick is to let your brows go bold without letting them look overgrown. You’ll still need to groom and trim your brows, but you can safely let them get a bit thicker when the weather cools off.
5. Incorporate Some Rose Gold into Your Makeup Bag

Brown is a great earth tone for maximizing your look in the fall. It complements a variety of eye colors and skin tones so brown is the perfect fit for many girls. Look for brown eye shadow, mascara, bronze toned blusher or earth toned lipsticks and you’ll look and feel great, no matter what part of autumn you’re living in.
7. Add a Few Lip Stains to Your Makeup Bag

Experts say that lip stains are great for fall. They stay in place for hours and are easy to apply. Plus, they make an easy and great choice for cool weather days when you sip a lot of hot chocolate and coffee. Look for lip stains in your favorite shades and you’ll have the best fall yet.
