With pumpkin spice officially back as the signature flavor of the season, cooler weather is creeping in. Fall is the perfect time to refresh your beauty routine and prep your skin, hair, and makeup for the months ahead. Everyone deserves a seasonal glow-up and essentials to keep you luminous, no matter the weather. That being said, here’s the ultimate fall beauty guide, from hydrating serums to silky-smooth foundations.
Step 1: Protect With SPF
As I always say, SPF is a non-negotiable in any beauty routine. The sun’s rays are constantly targeting our skin, so a powerful yet gentle sunscreen is essential. Perfect for all skin types and tones, the CōTZ Sensitive SPF 40 Non-Tinted is both water-resistant and non-irritating. Giving glow and hydration, this SPF acts as a smooth, lightweight base that layers seamlessly under your other essentials.
Step 2: Moisturize and Glow (at the same time)
Speaking of protecting our skin, the TiZO Tinted Moisturizing Serum does that and more. Combining sunscreen benefits with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid to antioxidant vitamins, this serum leaves your skin feeling light and looking luminous. Plus, its sheer tint adds a warm note that balances the season’s cooler tones.
Step 3: See Brighter Days With Vitamin C
One of my favorite ingredients for a radiant glow, vitamin C always earns me endless compliments on my skin. Blended with Phyto-squalene in the Osier Brighter Days Vitamin C Serum Daily Tone & Texture Treatment, it keeps your skin bright and hydrated. If you’re looking to combat dullness, this lightweight, clean formula helps restore your skin’s natural glory.
Step 4: Brows, Lips & Skin in Five Minutes
Most of the time, we’re scrambling to get ready after hitting snooze on our alarms… or maybe that’s just me. This curated trio from the delilah Beauty Heroes Collection covers all the basics for brows, lips, and skin when you’re short on time. Versatile and timeless, these three items are the holy grail for enhancing your natural beauty while maintaining an effortless look.
Step 5: Blur Your Skin With Foundation, Not FaceTune
Finding a non-comedogenic foundation that is lightweight, long-lasting, and available in a diverse range of shades can be challenging. After discovering the Rose Inc Softlight Skin-Smoothing Liquid Foundation, I found my perfect match using their online “Find My Shade” feature. Say goodbye to the blur filter because this foundation is light as a feather, silky-smooth, and delivers a breathable, matte finish.
Step 6: Fuel Your Latest Lip Combo Obsession
Signature lip combos are a must, and Just B Cosmetics Not Just Champagne Lip Spectrum brings the drama for fall. With neutral pinks like Kashmiri Chai and toasted chocolate hues like Ruby Cocoa, these autumn-ready shades are sure to become your fall fix.
Step 7: Tame the Untamable… AKA Your Hair
As someone whose hair is always frizzy, prone to breakage, and generally a struggle to manage, a styling gel is a must. Whether your hair is straight or curly, protecting it against the harsh, dry air is an important yet often overlooked step in beauty routines. Shield your hair, tame frizz, and boost shine with SHHY Beauty LEX Styling Gel. Perfect for texture and hydration, this gel won’t leave your hair crunchy like other styling products.
Step 8: Enjoy Beauty Sleep Without Melatonin
Ever wish you could sleep as deeply as Sleeping Beauty without taking melatonin? These innovative Good Patch Slumber Wellness Patches will change your life. Powered by plants and incredibly easy to use, all you have to do is place a patch over your wrist and fall into a restful sleep.
These eight steps are foolproof for getting you through the season while staying refined and radiant. Give some of these products a try — who knows, you might find your new beauty favorites to add to your routine!
