Fall's arrival not only warrants a welcome wardrobe change, but also requires us to swap summer's breezy and bronzed beauty regimen for autumn's richer, more luxurious mode. Consider adopting these trends into your fall routine circa now.
1. Plum Lips
Plum and burgundy are to fall lips what coral and bright pink were to summer. You may be afraid to try these deep shades of violet red, but rest assured knowing that it's one of the most flattering lip colors and looks great on just about everyone. Wear it with a fresh face during the day and transition to night, pairing it with a sultry, smoky eye.
2. Slicked Back Hair
When Balmain and Missoni's models hit the runway earlier this year with their sleek, slicked back hair, everyone knew it was going to trend big for fall. The best part about this dewy do? It's super simple: comb through your damp hair making sure there are no knots. Next, apply gel to the front and sides of your hair. Finish the look by combing through hair again. Voilà!
3. Rosy Cheeks
Gone are the summer days of barely there blush. Fall is all about looking flushed, in a natural I-just-ran-a-mile sort of way. Brush on a translucent pink blush or a red cheek stain to achieve that au naturale, healthy glow.
4. Textured Nails
Upgrade your mani by donning a set of textured nails, whether it's matte or snakeskin. Ditch the bright blues and reds for more neutral shades, like black and nude.
5. Skinny Black Eyeliner
Take a break from the thick, black lines of the cat eye and try fall's simpler way of outlining your pretty peepers. Create a thin black line along your lashes with a liquid eyeliner pen to achieve the subtle, yet defined look.
