summer to fall MAKEUP TRANSITION

Skip the over-matte looks for summertime. As our skin color changes a bit around summer, many of you probably have to change your foundation. Opt for a dewy formulation when choosing your fall foundation. Look for “glow,” “radiant finish,” “skin finish,” and “hydrating” liquid foundation while shopping for a new foundation. If you do not need to change your summer foundation, you can just skip using your setting/translucent powder all over the face after using the regular foundation. Just focus on the oilier parts, like your T-zone, and leave the rest of your face. It will create a more dewy (but not shiny) look..

The coral or bright pink blush you loved for summer should be left for the warmer months. For fall, try rosy, fleshy, mauve or brown based pink blushes. And instead of using the highlighter on the top of the cheekbones, try using it on the fleshiest part of your cheeks. Kind of like a blush topper. It creates a luminous healthy glow.

Well-groomed brows are a beauty statement. If you have thicker brows, go for a feathered browlook with a tinted brow gel and if you have sparse brows, use a brow pen or brown pencil to create tiny brow-hair-like strokes to fill in the brows. Even if you do not do anything else for eye makeup, the groomed brows will create an illu sion of an awake and polished face.

Jewel-toned or gold-toned rich eye shadows like grey, aubergine, cranberry, copper, warm bronze and greenish gold are some of the most beautiful shades for the fall season. Adorn your eyes with these jewel-toned shades and make them the center of the whole look, i.e., go easy on the cheeks and lips.

Dark bold shades are synonymous with the fall season. Wine, maroon, cool-toned brown, plum, burgundy, cranberry and chocolate are some of the options you can choose from. If you are not totally comfortable with dark-vampy shades, use your fingers to dab some of the dark colors on your lips. It will create a stain-like effect. As the weather becomes on the drier side, rich, moisturizing formulas are the best ones to pick.

DZ Just as you adjust the colors of your outfits, you can also tweak your makeup to compliment your clothing. If you are going for a beautiful jewel-toned eye makeup, keep your lips neutral and when you are going for a deep-dark lip color, go for a simple liner and mascara or just some mascara to bring out those lashes.

DZ …But, rules are also meant to be broken! If you love to experiment with makeup looks, go for the dual-bold factor. Finish off your jewel-toned eye makeup with a deep, bold lip color.

DZ As dark lip colors are unforgiving to dry, cracked lips, use a lip scrub to get rid of the flakiness and dryness from your lips, then use a thick lip balm and let it absorb before you go for a dark lip color.

DZ Setting the whole face with a translucent powder will make your skin look extremely dry and aged. This is why you should use a makeup setting spray instead of a setting powder.
