The shift is subtle, until we’re suddenly acutely aware: Crumpled leaves litter the ground, school buses begin their early morning rumble, and apples, squash, and dark leafy greens start their farmer’s market takeover. Yes, a new season is on the not-too-distant horizon and as the weather slowly shifts, so do our daily routines.
With vibrant colors bursting from the trees and crisp air flowing through our windows, autumn is the perfect time to add a new element to your beauty regimen, whether it’s a time-tested favorite, or a completely new resolution. Curious as to how others plan to change up their look come fall, I asked around. Check out what some of our home office girls (including myself) had to say below:
Personally, while I love keeping my makeup fresh and barely-there throughout the warmer months, I look forward to experimenting with more dramatic looks come fall. In shades of deep oxblood, black, and silvery grey, I’m excited to break out my dark and moody lip colors again.
To keep the bold pigment from drying my lips, I make sure to condition them with jojoba oil or coconut oil at night, and in the morning before lining them with a clear lip liner, which prevents the color from feathering. Also, pro tip: If you like the black lipstick look, make it even more dramatic by lining your lips with black eyeliner.

“I’m looking forward to top buns <3 My hair tangles easily, so it’s hard to wear it down in the fall and winter when I wear thick scarves and jackets.”
Chrissy
“I’m really looking forward to metallic eye-shadow shades this fall. I am very “Lou” with my style and I love having an element in my makeup that makes me a little more girly!”
Jana
“Looking good on the outside all starts with what we are putting inside of our body. As the fall creeps around, colder temps will start to dry out our skin. Drinking a lot of water is the easiest way to keep it looking moisturized, and to keep a healthier appearance overall. I definitely lacked in my H2O intake over the summer, so fall will be my catch up season.”

My only resolution is to wear more lipstick. I love it and have gotten so bad about wearing lipstick lately. I also can’t wait to break out the crimsons and plums.
Amanda, it’s a Kleen Kanteen.
I love the lipstick shades that comes with Autumn. It’s pretty much the only colours I own! I sadly can’t pull off a top bun so I restrict myself to only wearing it in doors, I will be doing a lot of plaiting though! As for the water, I absolutely agree with this. You know what baffles me? Hearing people say they don’t like the taste of water. A big DOH from Homer Simpson here. I find as well instead of water carrying around lemon water (freshly squeezed lemon with water) is a great pick me up and if anything MORE benefial to the skin and insides.

can you please post brands/names of the lipstick?! i’ve been on the search for the perfect plum for almost a year now!
I love that maroon eyeshadow! What brand is it?
Could you also possibly list all of the makeup from the first picture? Seriously I need those in my life. Beautiful!
I love the thought of lipstick, and everyday I’m closer to making a purchase but I definitely need to do some research on how to wear lipstick and have it be practical. Like, with all of the fruit roll ups I eat and straws I drink from or boyfriend kisses. Maybe I’ll just have to live and learn (& then blog about it!)
Warm Regards,
Alexandra

I love wearing a top bun. I don’t know if I can pull of the make up colors but doesn’t hurt to try. I can always wash it off.

The waterbottle appears to be a Klean Kanteen for anyone still looking for it.
