Happy fall! Does it feel like fall in your neck of the woods? We have been blessed with that lovely in-between weather — the early morning chill requires a sweater and by noon it’s in the mid- to upper-70’s. So while I wrap my head around the fact that not only is it officially fall, but also the end of September (what?), I am slowly coming to terms with the impending fashion choices I must make. To ease into this transition, I’ve begun looking for new shades of makeup to love for the slowly-but-surely cooler months ahead. Some of these products are in my makeup bag year-round, while others will be a welcome addition.
In the fall, I tend to favor light pinks, taupes, and neutral shades on my nails. At the moment, I’m wearing Taupe-less Beach from OPI and it is a crowd-pleaser. (P.S. You can see the shade in action on my Instagram).
I’ve always found finding the perfect fall lipstick a bit trickier, though. While nudes are consistently in vogue, and a classic red lip will never go out of style, getting me to swap out my Coral Crush stunner from Maybelline may take a bit of convincing. So while I work on overcoming my fear of change, I’ve chosen some of the darker shades that I will be rocking in the not too distant future.
And lastly, what kind of friend would I be if I didn’t mention my beloved shadows and liners. I’m partial to Stila, but Bobbi Brown never fails to disappoint in the eyeshadow department. Since it’s something I use daily, I like to buy a palette with versatile colors that I can mix and match or wear alone. Of course, my look wouldn’t be complete without my favorite product…the smudge stick from Stila. Until recently, I only used black to line my eyes. But Stila makes so many great colors that it’s hard to pick a winner. Lionfish (shown on the bottom right in the image above), is great for daily wear and a staple in my makeup arsenal. It’s coppery shimmer is an ideal fall shade.
What are your beauty must-haves? Any favorite shades for fall?
Love that Bobbi Brown eye palette! How pretty!

Me too!
I love all your fall picks! Especially the Stila eyeliner! I’ve been thinking about welcoming a copper-like color into my collection for fall 🙂
Thank you! I’m obsessed with Stila. Their smudge sticks may just be the best liner I’ve ever used. If you’re looking for a coppery tone, Lionfish is my favorite.
Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

Thanks, Eden! Aren’t they pretty? Those tend to be my go-to shades for fall.
I can’t believe it’s fall already either! I live in Florida so while the time feels like it’s flying by the weather doesn’t really change here. Love the colors you picked for fall and that Bobbie Brown eyeshadow palette is stunning!
