e welcome back crisp, fall mornings
filled with the smell of pumpkin spice
lattes and warmed by cozy, oversized
sweaters this season. Finally being able
to enjoy delicious hot beverages and
fuzzy apparel aren’t the only fall factors
we’re excited for. It’s time to replace
the bright, bold colors of summer in our makeup bags with
the moody, shimmery shades of fall. Think dark liner, metallic
eyeshadow, and rich, colored lips for a little preview of what
fall beauty is all about. These beauty trends are what we really
have been craving! Well, next to the free candy given out on
Halloween, of course. Now if only we could score beauty products along with that candy! BY VICTORIA OLMO
Rich Lips
Our favorite lips shades all hold that dramatic factor that we
can only get away with during the autumn season. Now is
when we can adorn the wildest, moodiest colors on our lips.
If you’re new to bold, dark lips, check out some of our favorites: Nars’ Satin Lipstick in Afghan Red, Revlon’s Super
Lustrous Lipstick in Sultry Samba, and M.A.C’s lipstick in
Rebel. Rich hues of maroon, bright pigments of pink, and the
deep, satin effect of purple are what we sure are taking advantage of each week—it’s safe to say my shade of Nyx’s Matte
Lipstick in Merlot will be all but gon e by December!
Shimmery, Metallic Eyeshadows
Let your eyelids flutter with a metallic sheen of gold, nude, silver, or even green. It’s a must-try trend this fall because it can
easily be added to any makeup look. Stila provides gorgeous
cream-to-shadow products in full-on metallic shades from Me32

tallic Dusty Rose to Titanium. With these shadows, add some
shimmer to a smoky eye for more depth or to an everyday look
for some allure. Metallic eyeshadows bring that extra touch of
glam that makes our beauty techniques even more fabulous.
Try this shimmery trend this fall and see how many eyes will
be on yours!
Dark Liners
Brightly-colored eyeliners were all the rage this past summer,
but it’s time to welcome back the classic black. Black will
always be the new black. You can’t go wrong at all with a longlasting ebony eyeliner. Some of my must-haves are Kat Von
D’s Tattoo Liner, Maybelline’s Eye Studio Master Precise
Ink Pen Eyeliner, Bobbi Brown’s Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
and Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil. Each one is
a definite keeper for being bold, smudge-proof, and easy-tostyle. You’ll be rocking liner just as mod as Twiggy’s was in
the 60’s!
Glowing Bronzer
Even though the summer has passed, our handy bronzers are
still kept in tow. They add that extra glow we want year-round
in hundreds of shades that we can’t get over. For fall, it’s all
about warm undertones in shades of cocoa, buff pinks, and
gold finishes. Pat down your cheeks with a touch of Benefit’s
Sun Beam, a blend of Marc Jacobs’ O!Mega Bronze, or a
sweep of Too Faced’s Milk Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer.
Your cheeks will be as bright as ripe apples this season.
