How To: Switch Your Glam Routine From Summer To Fall

We’ll show you the best fall makeup products to invest in and what summer products you can take with you for fall. It’s going to be a major makeup season so get ready! Follow these basic rules to achieve the ultimate fall makeup mood.

 

Rule number one: Reach for the Color

Maybe you went for a minimalist summer vibe but for fall, forget all that because it’s time to embrace color again. We’re talking rich tones of brown, red, plum and burnt orange. “For fall 2024, I am predicting toned down makeup with a pop of fall color,” says celebrity makeup artist Emily Gray. She recommends a bare eye with a bold brown-red lip, or a heavily blushed plum cheek with a minimal eye and light lip. “This still ties in with the clean girl makeup aesthetic, but with a fall twist.” It’s also a nod to Parisian style makeup, which never goes out of style.

Rule number two: Embrace Ethereal Skin

If glass skin was the summer-defining skin look then satin skin is going to be the ultimate complexion goal for fall. You know that skin look that appears natural and not overly done but still polished? That’s the satin effect. “It’s pearly in all the right places like the high points of the face and gives skin a soft matte filter-like quality,” says Gray. To get the look, aim for a luminous matte finish on the skin that looks evenly balanced.

Rule number three: Try a New Highlighter

This might sting a little but it’s time to put the bronzer on ice for a while and embrace a cool-toned highlighter for a fresher skin take. It’s a little more modern and a whole lot of fun for fall and it couldn’t be easier to pull off. Simply use a cool-tone highlighter on the high points of the face for a fairy-dusted skin glow that’s perfect for fall. Remember the cold girl aesthetic? We’re predicting an icy take on that.

Rule number four: Blush up

“For fall, I am obsessed with douyin style makeup trend, which is a very ethereal eye with blush tones with very intentionally placed eyeshadow,” says Gray. This eyeshadow style can also blend into the blush for a really beautiful effect. In terms of shades, anything seasonal goes. Think plum, red, and burnt orange, says Gray. Consider this look your blush moment for fall.
