We may be soaking up the last, bittersweet days of summer but that means there’s plenty of beauty ahead: changing leaves, crisp air, cozy sweaters and a reset on our collective beauty routines.
This year, the first blush of fall is all about embracing your natural beauty with a touch of glam. From full brows to luminous skin, here are the season’s top 5 beauty trends that you may actually want to try.
1. Natural but Refined Eyebrows
This season’s brows are still full and youthful, but they’re slightly less bushy than we’ve seen in season’s past. Think natural, well-groomed fullness versus “I woke up like this” and untamed.
You can get the look by treating your brows with our best-selling BROW Shape Altering Serum to help naturally enhance brow shape and fullness. While you're waiting for our serum to work its magic (you’ll start to see results in a few weeks), use a freshly-sharpened pencil or subtle powder to help you create fall beauty’s full yet refined arch.
2. Extra-long, Fanned-out Lashes
While doll-like volume has been everywhere for some time, things are changing this fall. The goal is to have lashes that are clump-free, beautifully separated and look real. To bring your length to new heights, our LASH Follicle Fortifying Serum is the holy grail. Applied 2x daily, you’ll start to see that full, fanned out look in a few short weeks.
Once your lashes reach the length you desire, keep using LASH serum to maintain fullness. While you’ll probably want to ditch the mascara, curling your lashes adds to the look, creating that coveted, skyscraper flutter.
3. Radiant, Luminous Skin
It’s tempting to go for a heavy base when the temperatures drop, but less product can keep skin feeling fresher and healthier, making it easier to withstand the environmental stresses. Glowing skin is always in style, so go for a lighter and more luminous look this fall. The key to dewy skin is regular exfoliation, nourishing treatments and optimal hydration inside and out.
Our Radiant Skincare System is a transformative powerhouse. Give the serum and moisturizer a few minutes to soak in before going in with a light touch of skin tint, concealer and highlighter. A little highlighting cream or powder gives an ethereal, angelic glow and a little bit goes a long way. Focus the “light” on the high points of your face, like the tops of cheekbones, your cupid’s bow, nasal bridge and right on top of the brow bone.
4. Just-Bitten Berry Lips
Fall brings on the deep, sultry lip colors. But the most important thing is to get the canvas right. Before applying any color, slough off dry skin with a warm washcloth or lip scrub. Add a little lip balm as a “primer” and feel free to skip the lip liner. It looks great with full-glam looks but it can also settle into lines and exacerbate seasonal complaints like dryness. Plus, one less step is never a bad idea.
We’re also suckers for multi-tasking products because you can use them on-the-go to revitalize eyes, lips and cheeks. Stick to forgiving, sheer cream or gel formulas and keep application breezy with nothing but your clean fingers. It’s a very classic, french-woman-approved way to stay chic, even on your most casual weekends.
5. Bangs, Bangs, Bangs
Pinterest is reporting a major uptick in searches for keywords like, “mini bangs” and “2000s side bangs”. We love what a little bit of flattering fringe can do to refresh your look. Just keep your round brush handy and give yourself a few extra minutes for styling.
