Transitioning to Fall with Makeup and Skincare Trends

It’s that time, ladies, the colors of the leaves are changing from bright green to orange, yellow, red and brown. The leaves are falling to the ground. The change in color extends to our wardrobe, switching to fall colors; our beverages are going from cool and refreshing to cozy and warm. And once again, pumpkin spice lattes begin. All of this means changing the colors of our makeup from bronze then tan to light then fair. But beware this fall, warm colors won’t be all we wear, because bright colors aren’t going anywhere.

This fall is all about dimensional makeup and skin care. Exceptionally long lashes are here to stay. Layer your lashes with a lash primer, mascara then a lash sealant. The more you layer, the longer they look, but we don’t mean a clumpy mess. Long, clean, luxurious lashes is what we’re after.

All beautiful makeup looks start with great skincare. The goal is to plump and moisturize the skin for a beautifully radiant, slightly matte complexion. Begin with a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid and resveratrol. Follow with a moisturizer that plumps, tightens and smooths. Try something with multi-peptides, collagen and vitamins C and E. Next, add a silky-smooth mattifying primer.

Layering is In

You don’t have to put your summer colors away. You just have to get creative with them. Layering is in, so go for it! Use two cheek colors or two mascara colors or eyeliners. Lots of layered shadow, lipstick and liner.

Barely there brows, dewy skin with the proper placement of matte powder and bold lips with lip liner are also in style. Try a combination of dark liner with a pigmented color.

How to Have the “No Makeup” Makeup Look

The “no makeup” makeup look isn’t going anywhere. So, we’re switching to tinted moisturizers and light foundations instead of full coverage foundation.

Achieving Cloud Skin

Cloud Skin is in! Are you wondering what it is? If you haven’t heard of it, cloud skin means no more dramatic highlights or super dewy skin. instead, a soft matte look that doesn’t dull or dry your skin. Just remember a little dew will do.

Apply a light dusting of powder in the low points of the face: the forehead, hairline and jawline, inner corners of the eyes, around the nose and the T-zones if necessary. Avoid the high points of the face, keeping them slightly dewy.

Happy fall, Quad Beauties! QCBN
