6 Makeup Tips for Transitioning from Summer to Fall

Transitioning Your Makeup to the Fall Season: Expert Tips and Trends

“Fall is the time for cozy layers and pumpkin spice lattes, but don’t forget to update your makeup routine as well! We’ve got you covered with tips from top celebrity makeup artists who know all the tricks to keep your makeup flawless, long-lasting, and on-trend this season.”

Focus on Your Skin Care

Before diving into eyeshadow palettes and lip glosses, let’s not forget the first rule of fall makeup: skincare! Your makeup will only look as good as the canvas it’s applied on. Celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin advises, “Prep your skin with hydrating and moisturizing products to combat the dryness brought on by cooler temperatures.” His go-to pick is the Pillowtalk Derm Major Fade Flash Mask, a miracle worker for evening out texture and saying goodbye to those pesky sunspots.

Another expert, Pat McGrath, stresses the importance of nourishing formulas. She recommends her Divine Skin: Rose OO1 Essence & Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Primer for a hydrated and flawless base that will make your makeup pop.

Opt for Matte Finishes

When the temperature drops, excess shine may become an issue. Fear not, there’s a solution! Celebrity makeup artist J. Brandon Correa suggests embracing matte finish products that will give you a sophisticated and long-lasting look. He swears by the YSL All Hours Luminous Natural Matte Foundation, which provides a natural-looking matte finish while remaining lightweight.

Go for Jeweled Tones

Fall is the perfect time to embrace bold and vibrant colors. Celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin encourages experimentation with shades like pistachio green, deep red violet, and even bright neon yellow. “Make a statement and own it,” he advises. Pat McGrath predicts a renaissance of rich and moody hues, such as deep burgundies, warm terra cottas, burnished golds, forest greens, and sultry plums. These colors can be applied sheerly for a wash of color or layered on for a bolder and more vibrant finish.

Kirin Bhatty, another renowned makeup artist, believes jewel tones will dominate fall eye looks. She recommends Chanel’s new Les 4 Ombrés Byance for an exquisite touch. For those who want a pop of color, J. Brandon Correa suggests trying the YSL Lash Clash Extreme in Electric Blue.

Stick to Rich Browns

If neutrals are more your style, you’re in luck! Rich browns are making a comeback, keeping the ’90s trend alive and kicking. Kirin Bhatty recommends the CTZN Cosmetic Lipstroke Elva for that retro supermodel vibe. Danii, a makeup artist who counts Dylan Mulvaney as a client, loves the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Iconic Nude. Pat McGrath suggests opting for rich neutrals with rose and warm taupe undertones, like those found in her Mothership V: Bronze Seduction Eye Palette.

J. Brandon Correa embraces hints of orange and warm terracotta in neutrals for a fun and vibrant look. He coins this trend as “Pumpkin Spice Latte” makeup. To achieve this, he suggests the Makeup By Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette as a great starting point.

Wear a Rich Bold Lip

Moody lips are a must for the cooler weather. According to Danii, the go-to makeup look for fall is natural, glowing skin, complemented by enhanced eyes or a bold lip. Pat McGrath loves using color in fun and interesting ways, like exaggerated blush or a fabulous red lip against a bare canvas. For a statement lip, she recommends her MatteTrance Lipstick in Elson 4.

Always Use Sunscreen

No matter the season, sunscreen is crucial for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays. Daniel Martin recommends the Tatcha The Silk Sunscreen with SPF 50, which doubles as a makeup primer. Alternatively, go for a foundation with SPF like the Dior Forever Foundation SPF 15. Kirin Bhatty suggests the Tower 28 SunnyDays Tinted SPF 30, a versatile product that adapts to your changing skin tone as summer turns to fall.

So, get ready to slay the fall season with these expert tips and trends! Remember to pamper your skin, play with jewel tones, and rock a bold lip. And don’t forget to keep your skin protected with sunscreen, because flawless skin never goes out of style.
