Fall runways were flush with blushing beauties who looked like they’d come in from a crisp autumn walk. Bold brows, peachy pouts, and rosy cheeks marked the return of beauty, for beauty’s sake (and after seasons of bare, no-makeup looks, we’re pretty excited about it.) See our must-haves below for this flattering fall look.
PUNCHED-UP POLISH
Bronzed tips are surprisingly neutral, even in glitter or gleaming metallic. Try Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Can’t be Tamed ($22), or Essie’s Leggy Legend ($10).
PEACHY KEEN
A flush of apricot blush atop cheekbones, and a swipe of peach shadow on lids will give the complexion that post-exercise glow. Try Giorgio Armani Beauty’s F/W 2015 Runway Collection Palette ($185), and Chanel’s Illusion d’Ombre eyeshadow in 116 Rouge-Gorge ($36).
PREP AND PRIME
The fresh look works best on a fresh foundation, so keep your skin healthy and hydrated with serums and treatments. Clarins Super Restorative Remodelling Serum ($135) lifts and firms, and for the sensitive eye area, we like Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Eye Concentrate ($75) for its protective benefits.
SMOOTH STRANDS
Autumn’s plummeting temperatures and newly switched-on heaters can wreak havoc on the hair, drying it out and creating static and frizz. Combat the elements with a conditioning treatment that doubles as a styling product. Let curls and waves go free with a rinse-optional moisturizer like OGX Coconut Curls Curling Hair Butter ($10), or twist it into a chic updo keeping flyaways at bay with Matrix Style Link Collection Finishing Hairspray ($18).
EYES TO MESMERIZE
Dior Addict’s shimmering Fluid Shadow in Aurora ($36) is a great one-size-fits-all shadow. A small dab will create a soft sheen with just a hint of colour, while a heavier hand will result in a more intense, metallic look. No matter your preference, frame the eyes well with bold brows. We love YSL Mascara Couture Brow ($39); it enhances the hue, and keeps unruly strands in place.
THE FINISHING TOUCH
Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue Sunset in Salina ($112) is a wonderful scent for fall. A spritz of this, and a dab of gloss add the finishing touches to the covetable look. Givenchy’s Gelée D’Interdit Crystal Brilliance Smoothing Balm Gloss ($38) in N.24 is the perfect pink for the season.
