As we begin to swap tanks and sandals for sweaters and boots, now is the perfect time to give your beauty routine a fall refresh.
It’s time to say goodbye to the last bits of summer weather and fun and bid adieu to the barely-there summer makeup looks, light breezy fragrances, and the pinky-peachy-coral color pops. Fall beauty trends are here: dramatic, edgy takes on classic looks, colors and scents. And I am here for all of it. In this blog post, I share 5 easy and affordable seasonal swaps to refresh your beauty routine for fall. Whether you try one, or try them all, each tip will help keep your look on trend without breaking the bank.
Intense Nail Polish Colors
This fall, adventurous nail colors and tints are trending. Non-traditional shades like creamy blue, dark teal, bright fuschia, and warm chocloate are popping up everywhere. So opt for a polish less ordinary to make your nails, style and outfit pop.
Bold Matte Lips
Let your lips do the talking this season with dramatic colors. And save those shiny shimmery glosses for next summer. Smooth velvety matte lips are the look to have. This versatile ox-blood color pairs with so many outfits, skin tones, and occasions.
The Kitten Eye
A subtle and daintier version of the classic cat eye liner, the kitten eye is also an easier look to recreate on yourself. This technique has the liner starting at the center of the eye and finishing with a subtle wing. Then short thin strokes are used to fill in along the lash line.
Monochrome Color
Monochromatic makeup is when you keep the same color palette for your lips, eyes, and cheeks. Depending on what color you choose, the look can be simple or quite dramatic. There are a number of multi-tasking makeup products on the market to help achieve this all-in-one look. Nars’ The Multiple comes in 10 gorgeous shades and has a unique cream-to powder formula that can be used on the eyes, cheeks, lips and body.
Switch to A Fall Signature Scent
Fall fragrances are typically heavier, richer, warmer, and have an earthy scent. Temporarily swapping out your go-to perfume for something more autumn-specific is an easy way to refresh your style. Find scents that are spicy (nutmeg, ginger, coffee), smoky (pine, vetiver, sandalwood) or earthy (gig, currant, cassis).
Switching up your beauty routine feels like a fresh start, kind of like fall itself. And making just one small change, whether it be nail polish or perfume, is a fun and easy way to stay on trend. As for me, I’ve ordered this mini size liquid eyeliner so I can try my hand at the kitten eye. Let me know in the comments below how you are going to refresh your beauty routine for fall.
