Change your Beauty for Fall

When the nights get cooler, the leaves begin to change color and pumpkin spice is on every menu, it can only mean one thing; it’s Fall!  Autumn brings with it crisp air and a chance to change up not just your wardrobe but also your beauty routine.  With rich chocolates, soft neutrals, and deeper jewel tones, there are so many options for your autumnal look.

Let the Eyes Have It

A great jewel tone is the perfect way to add a little color going into fall.

Stila’s Eyes Are the Window Shadow Palette in BODY provides you with 12 colors in jewel tones, neutrals, and even a bright aqua marine to mix and match and complement your complexion.  Unsure what to do with so many colors?  Stila provides you with three easy how-to looks to really maximize their palette and teach you the best ways to play with deep hues like garnet, emerald, topaz, sapphire, and midnight quartz.

Finish the look off with Stila’s new Mile High Lashes, which gives you longer, darker lashes with each swipe of the mascara wand.  Unlike other mascaras, which you really need to pile on before noticing a difference, you’ll be astounded by the extra drama you get with your first coat of Mile High Lashes.  The formula that is infused with “plumping plant extracts and emollients” maximizes volume and curl in one step!

Try a Finishing Mist

The cool fall wind might be a welcome change, but it can be brutal on your skin.

The cold dry air tends to dry out your skin and can make it irritable so it’s important to take extra care of your complexion as soon as the seasons change.

While the idea of a mist might leave you a little skeptical, it’s a great beauty buy.  MAC’s Prep + Prime Fix + is a versatile product.  Not only will your skin feel hydrated and refreshed, but it will also help set your makeup, so it last longer.  The lightweight formula absorbs quickly and feels so delightfully smooth.

Change Up Your Scent

There’s something that feels so luxurious about fall. Maybe it’s the textiles—suede, leather, cashmere.   Or perhaps those rich colors of fall …  or maybe it’s simply the fact that the weather has cooled down and we get to say goodbye to our makeup melting and hair frizzing!  Either way autumn is a great time to feel like a million bucks and what better way to say opulence then Fendi?

Fendi’s new Fan di FENDI Blossom fragrance is a light delicate perfume, a surprisingly perfect contrast to the crisp weather of fall.  It opens up with a fruity blend of Japanese Nashi Pear and succulent raspberries.  However, the focus of the fragrance is the beautiful Sakura Cherry Blossom, which come spring, bloom all over Washington, DC.  However, you don’t need to wait till it begins to warm up again to wear this soft romantic scent.  The fruity and floral combination is sure to leave an impression and it will help you celebrate the grandeur of fall.
