Bright colors have been washed away with the summer’s rain, and now that we are in fall it’s time to change up your makeup routine and as well as your choice of fragrances. Put your bright pinks and pastel colors in the drawer and bring out all your rich, dark shadows and lipsticks.
When choosing a lip color for fall, always keep in mind the colors we see in nature in this season. Look for rich plum and cranberry lipsticks that are not too bright. You can also try a dark, velvet red or blood orange color. Also, browns with a hint of plum could be flattering. Revlon’s Lip Butters have a great selection of different fall colors for an inexpensive price compared to high end makeup. They are colored lip balms with a creamy texture. These will keep your lips hydrated so the chilly, autumn breeze doesn’t make them chapped.
Gold, copper, browns, purples, and greens are perfect colors for eyeshadow in the fall. You can combine these colors for a dramatic look or leave them on their own for a wash of color. You can also find liners in these colors and pair them with other shadows. I recommend finding eyeshadows in these shades that have a bit of shimmer to them. Covergirl has a wide variety of shadows in shimmering warm shades that work with any eye color. These palettes are also an inexpensive option when you don’t want to spend a lot on high end shadows.
Spring flowers and bright citrus fragrances are no longer in sync with the season. Fragrances with hints of cinnamon, amber, vanilla, clove, spice. “Beyonce’s Heat” has top notes of magnolia, vanilla orchids, and peach paired with base notes of amber, milkwood and Tonka Bean. This sweet scent is warm enough to keep you toasty during the chill of fall. Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Gold Couture which has just been launched this fall, is available at Nordstrom or online. This perfume has tops notes berries, honeysuckle, golden amber, caramel, vanilla. This sweltering scent has a perfect array of warm notes for fall. There are so many other fragrances to choose from that will keep you feeling snug in this nippy, cool weather.
So enjoy the smell of crisp leaves on the ground and the brisk breeze and leave your summery lipsticks, eyeshadows and fragrances behind.
