The first day of fall is September 23rd! And when autumn rolls around, fashionistas make staying warm with fabulous layers a top priority. Makeup tends to fall by the wayside, but it actually plays a larger role in fashion than you may realize.

You may be thinking, “Is there even a difference between summer makeup and autumn makeup?” And the answer is yes!

Say goodbye to pastels and bronzers. And hello to jeweled tones, smokey eyes, and everything au naturel. Here are 5 beautiful fall makeup looks you won’t want to miss!

1. Dewy Skin

With the weather getting colder and the days getting shorter, it’s time to prepare our skin. Unfortunately, the colder weather means that our skin can look drier and duller. This is why a daily moisturizer is key.

Skin mists, illuminating moisturizers, and hydrating primers are a bit on the pricier side. But they go a long way in creating a hydrated, more natural looking glow. To save more money on these types of products, try looking into promo codes and coupons with Sephora.

Drinking more water, getting enough sleep, and eating clean can also help.

2. Smoky Eyes

Are smoky eyes strictly for a night out on the town? Think again! The smoky eye is one of the more prominent autumn makeup looks, and it’s all too easy to wear.

The smoky eye look makes use of brown and gray palettes. Depending on your preference, you may choose one of these palettes or blend them all. You’ll not only need (at least) one dark shadow and one light shadow but eyeliner and mascara, as well.

If you’re a fan of creating opulent, big eyebrows, you’re in luck! Big brows are the perfect complement to smoky eyes.

It’s best to keep your lips nude when rocking the smoky eye. You never want to play up both.

3. Statement Lips

When it is time to play up your lips this autumn, go for lush and dark-colored lipsticks and stains. Here are some colors that are perfect for the fall season:

• Red wine
• Burnt orange
• Plum
• Red-brown

The grungier your lips, the better. Hesitant to wear bold lipstick because of discolored teeth? Know the do’s and don’ts to whitening your teeth!

4. Jewel Tones

If you’re a fan of pastel eyeshadows, autumn may not feel like your season for fashion. But this couldn’t be further from the truth!

Autumn is all about jeweled tones, whether you flaunt them on your lips, eyelashes, or eyelids. So, what are some jewel tones to look for in makeup? Here are a few:

• Amethyst purple
• Topaz yellow
• Turquoise
• Fuchsia
• Navy blue
• Emerald

When shopping for jeweled shadow palettes, be sure to pick up some matching nail polish, as well.

5. Glitter Lids

Glitter has made a comeback this year and it’s going to be everywhere this autumn. There’s no limit to how fashionistas will wear it this fall. Heavy black glitter will be just as popular as subtle pink sparkles and disco ball greens and golds.

Better yet – there’s no limit to the types of mascara and eyeliner you can wear with glitter lids, either. Mix and match your glittered lids with brown, black, and colored mascara and eyeliner.
