If you didn't update your fall routine with September's latest beauty products, don't worry — there's a whole bunch of new October 2018 product launches that you'll also want to consider throwing into the mix. This month, it seems brands wanted to take aim at keeping your skin glimmering and hydrated, your eyes, cheeks, and lips bold and colorful, and your Halloween looks fierce AF.

The October beauty scene has everything you could want and then some for fall and — gasp — winter. KKW Beauty celebrated Kim Kardashian's birthday with a new collection of powder pigments in vibrant metallic shades, while sister Kylie Jenner released an adorably spooky collection celebrating Halloween. There are also some new names on the scene: Soko Glam founder Charlotte Cho debuted her very own skin care brand called Then I Met You, a project she says took years to develop. The team behind Harry's, the men's shaving brand, launched Flamingo, the female counterpart offering razors and body hair removal kits for under $22.

If you've been busy and need a TL;DR list of the best launches of October, here are our picks for what you need to add to your makeup and skin care collection right now.

KKW Flashing Lights Collection

If you're a Kim Kardashian fan, you know that she has been very into vivid colors as of late, from her hot pink dresses to her neon green bikinis. The same goes for her makeup, which is why KKW Beauty launched a collection of high pigmented, metallic loose and pressed powders. The payoff is immense — all it takes is one swipe of color to create a statement eye, lip, or cheek that can almost been seen from outer space. You can purchase the pigments separately or as a bundle.

Then I Met You

Charlotte Cho was one of the first people to start the Korean beauty craze here in the United States (she founded her company Soko Glam in 2012), so to say that she is an expert in the scene would be an understatement. She has helped so many of us discover new beauty products through her Soko Glam curations, but the time has finally come for her to launch her very own premium skin care brand: Then I Met You. The first product is a cleansing duo made up of an oil-based cleanser and a water-based cleanser, to ensure that all of the pollutants and impurities are washed away from your face. Through these cleansers, Cho invites customers to go deeper and be more intentional with their skin care routine.

Touche Éclat All-In-One Glow Tinted Moisturizer

Just because summer is over doesn't mean you have to give up your dewy glow. YSL just launched the most hydrating, good-for-your-skin tinted moisturizer that still gives you coverage, you might never go back to your regular foundation ever again. It's got hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and sunscreen built into it, so your skin will feel protected while also looking beautiful.

Diorific Mat Velvet Colour Lipstick

Dior's newest lipstick is luxury for your lips, from its formula to its packaging. Housed in a gorgeous gold case, Diorific features a long-wearing, luminous matte formula and a bullet that allows you to easily line and fill your lips. It comes in several rich, fall and winter-perfect shades.

La Mer Luminous Lifting Cushion Foundation

La Mer introduced a new skin care-meets-coverage product to their collection and if you're into a dewy "no makeup" makeup look, you're going to want to scoop this launch right up. It's a cushion foundation, similar to those from the Korean beauty world, so it creates a light, luminous finish that can be layered on for more coverage. And like all of La Mer's other products, it contains the brand's signature Miracle Broth™ elixir in it, so you can treat your skin while you wear it.

MDNA SKIN Beauty Roller

Madonna's got another skin care product that you need to add to your routine: her new Beauty Roller, a facial contouring massager that is scientifically proven (according to MDNA SKIN) to help define the contours of your face. The Beauty Roller features two carbon spheres that work to lift your muscles and help with lymphatic drainage and ultra infrared energy that allegedly penetrates deep into the skin to reveal a brighter complexion.

Kylie Cosmetics Halloween Collection

Halloween lovers, Kylie Jenner and Co. made the collection of your dreams. It's got everything you need to create a killer Halloween makeup look, whether you're going glam or ghoulish. The collection has metallic and matte lipsticks, a new eyeshadow palette, a highlighter, and glitter toppers for your eyes. You can buy the products separately or as a bundle.

Oribe 10th Anniversary Dry Texturizing Spray

There's no question that Oribe's Dry Texturizing spray is one of the most beloved hair styling products out there. Can you believe it's been 10 years since it first launched? (How were we doing our hair before then?!) To celebrate, they covered the bottle in sequins, but don't worry — they left the formula alone.

Flamingo Razor Shave Kit

The team behind men's care brand Harry's launched a female alternative this month called Flamingo and they've got everything you could possibly want for your hair removal needs, from shave kits (like this) to body wax strips.

Amika Reset Exfoliating Jelly Shampoo

If you have a lot of build-up in your hair — and who doesn't with our obsession with dry shampoo these days? — you might want to use this shampoo to reset. It's a jelly-like formula made with charcoal, pink clay, and sea salt and will work to deeply cleanse and soothe your scalp.
