Summer to Fall Makeup

Summer To Fall Makeup

            Trends for a certain season are almost as old as makeup itself. While some looks are timeless and fit perfectly with every season, it is also good to change up your look and take things such as temperature and your skin into account.

            Dewy skin is all the rage in Summer. Your skin is replenishing oils faster, and you do not have to worry about dry skin. Lighter foundations and BB creams are also worn. However, with the change in seasons, one might want to consider a matte foundation as opposed to a dewy one. It is also important to use a moisturizing foundation, or to hydrate your skin before foundation, as the cooler weather could potentially dry out your skin.

            When people think about Summer makeup, they either think about bright eyeshadows, or little to no eyeshadow at all. While bright eyeshadows are fun and playful, in Fall it is best to stick with neutral and darker eyeshadows. Taupes and crimson colors are very on trend for Fall 2014.

            Staying with the bright Summer theme, bright lips are a must in the Summer. Glossy lips and fun colors match everyone’s tans. However, in Fall the lipstick scene is very different. Though it is not quite Winter and time to bust out the deep dark reds and purples, it is good to darken your colors a bit. Muted matte colors are often seen. Common colors include plum, red, burgundy, and cinnamon.

            While it is fun to follow makeup trends and change up your look, it is important to remember that there are no rules in makeup. The joy about makeup is that you control it and are able to make yourself whatever you want. However, if you ever want to try a seasonal look, you could fall in love with it. New makeup looks can always surprise and delight you.
