As Summery as it’s been feeling, the fact remains that Fall has officially arrived. If you’re anything like me, you’ve gone ahead and started decorating for the new season, but your warm clothes are still packed away. These cold mornings I find myself shivering and waiting for the temperatures to hit summer-ish temps. I’m grateful it’s still like this out and I’m not looking forward to having to deal with chilly weather all day long. I don’t drink coffee and pumpkin-flavored anything isn’t my bag so finding other things to love about Autumn is always fun.

One good thing however about the Fall is the beautiful change of color leaves and with it, the change of makeup! You had to know I was going to bring it there. But it’s true, just as I have a foundation for each season (cuz hello, sweat, dryness and crazy skin!) I also change out my color palette to take advantage of the beautiful orange hues, mauve, purples, and golds that make hazel eyes pop and warms my skin.

In case you haven’t heard, golds, mauve, and orange are going to be everywhere this season. The monochromatic look of one shade for eyes, lips, and cheek is going to make getting yourself together a super easy task. My go-to is using my favorite bronzer as an eyeshadow as well and finding a complimentary lip color to make it all work as one. It goes with EVERYTHING and honestly couldn’t be simpler to do. If I skip eyeliner (yes it does happen every now and then) then 3 coats of mascara are a must.

The one thing that will likely not change is the top knot. Let’s face it, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do (while you’re walking, driving, eating etc) and seems to go with every outfit too! Don’t believe me? Ask J-Lo.

How are you getting yourself into the Fall mood?
