As we pack away the neons and the shimmers with our swimsuits and cover-ups, it's time to pull out different palettes for the months ahead. Every season, our go-to hues shift with the sweaters we choose for the fall season — and though you may go a shade lighter as your tan fades, you can be riskier with your eyeshadow colors, since those transform all year round.
In short, cozier temperatures means bolder tints — and permission to let your pretty peepers do the poppin'. So, from deep greens and vibrant purples to rich reds and warm browns, here's how to upgrade your palettes for fall.
As the name suggests, you'll be ready for s'mores — or your Instagram fame — with this colorful, warm palette. What's especially fun is that everything from Beauty Bakerie is — wait for it — made from real food. You'll be fresh, clean and ready for your close-up — just choose or blend the twelve shades. You have a veritable buffet of foil, matte and duo-chrome finishes to choose from, depending on the occasion (or your mood).
On Monday, you have an after-work happy hour at a local pub who just got in their Oktoberfest selections. Tuesday, you're hitting a fashion presentation with some pals. Come Thursday, and you're ready for date night with the pumpkin spice to your latte. This beloved trio from Jane Iredale prepares you for whatever your fall calendar has in store with silky, long-lasting shades that can be worn wet or dry. If you have sensitive pores, don't sweat it: They're gentle and won't cause irritation.
What's fun about the fall season is the permission to experiment with neutral shades. Though at first glance, it may appear boring, just think how high-fashion and dramatic you can be by mixing some of these high-pigmented hues. In the morning, use the softer shades for your work, then, at night, build up a smoky eye as you change into a sweater dress. We love the mix of mattes and shimmers, as well as the fact this palette is ideal for many skin tones.
The names of these color options say it all: Kissing Booth, Heartthrob, Boyfriend, NY and LA, to name a few. This palette from HipDot should be in your work or gym bag, especially as you prepare to cozy up into a relationship for fall. Ideal for drinks with a cutie or going on your first trip cross-country as a could-be couple, the soft mattes and sparkling shimmers get every autumn look just right.
