As sad as I am to let go of my summer tan and natural blush, fall and winter makeup are some of my favorites. Smokey eyes, lots of shimmer, and vanilla-scented everything. Ready to know what’s sitting on my vanity this month?

LANCÔME - Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer

Swapping out the darkest shade of my Tower 28 concealer for a paler, thinner (but still full-coverage) option that I reintroduce to my routine each fall. Perfect to use all over as my skin starts to lose hydration.

CHANEL - Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick Highlighter

Since I’ll be chasing my summer glow until next June, this Chanel highlighting balm will come everywhere with me for the next few months. Non-sticky, non-glittery, all-natural.

WESTMAN ATELIER | Face Trace Contour Stick

I love using my Westman contours as bronzers during the fall. They become the perfect neutral bronzy color for me as I start to lose my tan.

HUDA Beauty Liquid Blush & Patrick Ta Blush Duo

Two blushes that stand out for me every fall. HUDA offers the most beautiful colors (looking at you, latte), and Patrick Ta offers the most convenience (and colors) for busy mornings when I don’t want to think about what powder and liquid blush to pair.

DOLCE&GABBANA - Ever Icon Eye Palette

Obsessing over the beauty that is this palette. Love a darker eye during the fall time and this offers day & night looks.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Hydrating Lip Balm

How stunning is this “Garconne” shade? The perfect fall-berry look. I use this almost every day during the colder months.

PAT McGRATH LABS LUST: Lip Gloss

Fall & winter just scream shimmer. No one does a shimmer gloss better than Pat McGrath. I own three (Bronze Divinity, Earth Angel, & Bronze Venus).

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in NEW Limited Edition Mocha Bonbon

Long-time lover of SF lippies, and their new holiday release WILL be on my vanity this month; that’s for sure.

MAKEUP BY MARIO - Ultra Suede Sculpting Lip Pencil

No one does liners like Mario. He has created the perfect nudes for fall. My recs are Toasty, Travis, Almond, Smokey Pink, and Spiced Chai.

While trends come and go, simple nails remain a staple. If you’re looking for inspiration beyond your usual go-to’s, here are some ideas that offer just enough interest while maintaining that clean, effortless look.

1. Glazed Nails

Glazed, pearl, chrome—it all means the same thing, and it’s the perfect way to elevate a milky base into a summery manicure. I just recently got this done, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t inclined to get it again and try out different color bases. I feel like an elegant mermaid.

2. Raspberry Pink

My idea of a hot pink summer nail. It’s rich enough to feel intentional, but still classic enough to go with everything. A fun twist for anyone looking to step outside their usual neutral rotation. All I’m thinking about is pairing this with Rhode’s Teacup blush shade.

3. A Classic Short French

Trends come and go, but a short French manicure remains untouched. It’s refined without trying too hard and manages to make everything else look a little more polished.

4. Milky Pink

For those who want something a touch softer than a nude. Milky pink nails have a fresh, healthy look that makes hands appear polished without ever feeling overdone. It’s sheer, but still noticeable.

5. Butter Yellow

Shocking, right? But seriously—butter yellow is an obvious choice that will never go out of style. Looks amazing with a tan, too.

6. Bronzed Brown

Brown shouldn’t only be reserved for the fall. It’s warm, rich, and subtly glowing. Bronzed brown is the neutral that never feels boring. It’s my favorite color for a reason!

6. Burnt Terracotta

A richer take on summer warmth. Burnt terracotta nails bring depth without heaviness—toasty, but still light.

7. Deep Cherry

Deep, glossy, and quietly dramatic. It’s a classic for a reason. Paired with gold jewelry and mwah!
