fall transformations

***It’s time to transition your makeup routine from summer to fall***

Hey there, friendies! It's Allyson, and I'm thrilled to guide you through a seamless transition in your makeup routine as we bid farewell to those sweltering summer days and welcome the cozy and colorful vibes of fall. We all know that changing seasons means adapting our makeup game, and I'm here to make sure you do it with confidence and style. So, grab your favorite clean beauty products and let's get started!

Hydrate and Prep

Before diving into makeup, let's start with skincare. As the weather gets cooler, our skin tends to get drier. So, keep your skin hydrated and nourished with a good moisturizer and perhaps switch to a slightly richer one for the fall. Don't forget to apply a clean SPF, even on those cloudy days to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Foundation Transition

Say goodbye to your lightweight summer foundation and opt for a slightly more hydrating and full-coverage foundation for fall. Look for clean beauty brands that offer foundations with skin-loving ingredients. Remember to match your shade to your current skin tone, as it may have changed after summer sun exposure.

Pro Tip:

Buy a shade of lighter foundation and then mix the darker color foundation with the lighter one in the fall. When winter arrives, your skin tone will be ready for the lighter shade.

Did you know that using a wet sponge helps to blend highlighter? A dry sponge will help you remove excess product.

Warm It Up with Fall Colors

Fall is all about warm and earthy tones. Swap your nude summer eyeshadows for rich, saturated earthy autumnal shades like warm browns, burgundies, and forest greens. These colors will enhance your eyes and give you that sophisticated fall feeling.

Pro Tip:

Look for eyeshadows with talc-free formulations to avoid heavy metal contamination…which is something not currently regulated by the FDA. Also, look for products that have responsibly sourced mica. Mica is what gives cosmetics that shimmer we all love. However, international mining practices are often quite nefarious.

Bold Lips

One of the easiest ways to transition your makeup from summer to fall is by changing up your lip color. Put away those coral and neon pinks, and bring out deep berry, plum, or brick-red shades. These colors will instantly add a touch of sophistication to your look.

Embrace a Natural Looking Glow

While summer is all about that sun-kissed glow, fall calls for a more subtle radiance. Opt for a soft, natural highlighter to give your skin a healthy sheen without overdoing it. Clean beauty brands often offer highlighters that give you a luminous finish without harmful contaminants, which is why you have begun to see, and is important to look for talc-free powder as well as cream formulations.

Define Those Brows

Bold brows are in, my friendies! Fill in your eyebrows with a shade that matches your hair color. Well-defined brows frame your face and give it a polished look, which is perfect for fall. Don’t be intimidated, gel formulations make the results look super natural!

And as always, choose clean formulations.

Of course, my beauty aficionados, stick to your clean beauty products. Clean beauty is all about products that are good for your skin and the environment. Check out brands like Beautycounter for their clean and sustainable makeup options, and you will never have to sacrifice performance for safety.

Finish with Setting Spray

Lock in your fall makeup look with a setting spray. This will help your makeup last all day, despite any weather surprises fall may have in store.

There you have it, my friends! Transitioning your makeup from summer to fall is all about embracing the cozy season with warmth and style. Don't be afraid to experiment with new shades and textures, and remember to keep it clean and eco-friendly. Now go out there and rock your autumn look with confidence!

If you found these tips helpful, please share them with your fellow friendies, and let's spread the clean beauty love this fall season. Until next time, stay fabulous, stay cozy, and stay clean! Here’s to fall sticking around Houston for more than 10 minutes! Am I right? 🍂💄🍁
