For some of us Fall is our favorite season. It’s the season of change where the leaves start to transform their colors, everything around us becomes pumpkin flavored, Thanksgiving festivities take place and sweaters and boots make an appearance. In order to look and feel the best we can, we need the best accessories and makeup to fulfill our Fall spirits.

Bold Cat Eyes and Dark Lips
When in doubt, wing it! With all the YouTube videos explaining step by step how to create a cat eye, I’m sure for some of us the dreadful process has improved our skills giving us techniques to get better and better at this iconic look. But trust me, it is all worth it! A cat eye is like an instant facelift; it gives your eyes a lifting effect and is visually appealing. Simple yet bold, cat eyes are mostly combined with dark lips because it gives it a good balance between eyes that aren’t too heavy and lips that compliment and adds character to the entire look. A winged liner and a dark lip are great for a date night or those special events coming along our way.

Pearls and Plum
Bring out the pearls! Not only are pearls beautiful but also they are very elegant and sophisticated. They are good to use year round! Plum lips are in and there are many different shades to compliment any skin tone. They are a serious statement when combined with pearls; they add a romantic yet classy look. When transitioning to Fall, using deep shades of plum lips and pearl jewelry will add elegance to your over all look. It will be great for day and night activities, wear it to work or a night out. This effortless, simple yet romantic look will look great with big sweaters and boots, a beautiful pair of pearl stud earrings or a simple pearl necklace.

Extra Dewy Skin
For some of us dewy skin might mean oily skin, but in fact for the cold days dewy skin looks healthy and chic. The key for dewy skin is using minimal makeup that looks natural and effortless. This look is great for the daytime because it adds natural looking shine to your face with out looking excessively oily. For some of us, the cold weather will take away that natural shine and makes our skin look dry and dull. This is where tinted lip balms and cream highlighters take effect. A good sheer and radiance boosting foundation will allow your skin to shine through giving it enough coverage.

Metallic Eyes and Glossy Lips
With the big holidays coming along, this look is what will make your party outfits complete. It’s dramatic yet glamorous! And of course a little too messy for some of us but with the right steps and precision this look will give your skin life! For the most mesmerizing yet flattering look opt for copper, electric gold and metallic bronze eye shadows. For the lips to look hydrated add shades of nude with a soft sheen or a vinyl shine lip-gloss. And don’t forget about lashes! Fake, dramatic eyelashes will be the cherry on top for this look with the combination of a black eyeliner.

Dusty Rose Details and Velvet Matte
For a feminine yet chic look that is ideal for a romantic dinner and Fall festivities this might be what to aim towards. This look is a very easy look to create since there isn’t much accuracy and makeup to be used. One or two shades of eye shadows in tones of rose and nude used all around the eyes are all you need. A peachy pink with golden shimmer blush will add healthy looking flush to your cheeks. A velvety matte lip pencil will add just enough saturation and impact to your lips. Paired with a beautiful delicate cocktail dress this look will make you look flirty and feminine all night long.
