Falling in Love with the Top New Fall Beauty Picks

The leaves are changing, the temperatures are dipping lower, and fashion is getting cozier. Pumpkin spice lattes are a daily ritual and I am switching out my summer beauty palette for deeper tones and pigments, and warmer shades.  Summer was all about bronzer and glowing skin, holiday will be metallics and richer tones, and fall shades give us a nice bridge between the summer’s beach glow and party season’s glam. 

This season’s top beauty picks channel fall leaves, firelight, wild berries, and spices like cinnamon, turmeric and nutmeg, merlot, and harvest moon sunsets.  I love the change of seasons and all that fall has to offer and these delicious new makeup products add to the festive feeling as we head into the holiday season.  More on that in a later post! This girl LOVES the holidays! 

In the meantime, I’ll be warming myself up with tall boots, sweaters and scarves, pumpkin spice everything, and this fall’s irresistible shades of beauty.

Happy Feet: Editors’ Favorite Statement Sneakers

Editor’s and street style influencers championed the "dad shoes” / "ugly shoes” trend for yet another month of fashion weeks around the globe this September, proving that sometimes style can actually be comfortable.  Seriously, this is one trend I am ALL OVER.  Now is the best time to take advantage of the athleisure trend to wear  sneakers everywhere, all the time, while staying completely fashion forward .  My happy feet will be in such better shape to handle heels and stilettos over the holiday season when the time comes, after being pampered with cozy comfort on a daily basis.  Bonus: these wonder sneakers are perfect for fall weather until boots become essential.  

The new crop of covetable sneakers are graphic in color and design with chunky soles, cushy interiors and as far from classic as it gets.  Editors and style stars wore them with everything from pants to skirts, short and long, causal and formal, pairing them in conventional and unconventional ways as they darted from show to showroom, lunch to meetings.   Whatever your budget there are amazing options available and the only problem will be how to choose just one.  Here are my favorites, both my dream shoes and their affordable counterparts.  Models, stars, and style celebs agree that this year’s shoe is made for walking.

Face This Guide: How to do Glitter for Grown-Ups

  

Everyone loves a bit of sparkle in their lives and the runways for the last two seasons have given us lots of inspiration for how to add a little glitter to our beauty looks without looking like we are made up for Halloween. (Of course that, and festival season, is the perfect occasion to glitter bomb yourself and go all out).  There are new products with formulas that have staying power, come in the most amazing holographic and metallic colors, glosses that are high on shine and low on the sticky factor, shades that can be blended and layered for different effects, and colors that go from low-key glam to all out disco queen.

For the most modern take on glitter makeup choose one feature to play with and leave the rest of the face more neutral.  Note: a little glitter ones a long way.  The easiest way to play with the trend is with a glitter eyeshadow or lip color that is more natural than shocking, and metallic in it’s finish.  Try layering a glitter lip gloss over a favorite lip color to give it a shimmering look.  Another quick and easy way to add some gleam is by applying a highlighter to your upper cheekbones over your blush, or using a metallic gel eye liner to create a modern cat eye. Tip: use a blending sponge to even out your day makeup and refresh it, then add either a glitter eye shadow or create a glitter lip to take your look from day to evening, from neutral to sexy/fun/glam in one quick step.

Glitter isn’t just for holidays or kids, and it’s one of the easiest ways to update your look with adult-approved shades and finishes that can shimmer or shine depending on how glam you want to go.  Why should kids have all the fun?
