Trees and nature take on all shades of brown and orange for the hottest (color-wise) season of the year: fall. For your fall makeup, take inspiration from the natural palette around you: enhance your eyes with a brown smoky-eye, your lips with a velvety matte lipstick and cover your nails with brown polish!
1. THE PERFECT COLORS FOR FALL MAKEUP
Regardless of current trends, brown, olive green and orange shades punctuated with bright bronze and gold accents always make an impact. Bold? Dare to use eggplant purple and blue!
The benefits? Brown looks good on everyone! It doesn’t matter if you have brown, green or blue eyes: in any case, this shade warms and deepens the eyes and offers a softer alternative to classic black, for example for a more marked daytime makeup.
2. HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT FOUNDATION
In the fall, don’t hesitate to work on your foundation! Foundation is a must-have for any seasonal look. No matter what makeup you’re going to do, you need to start with the right foundation:
– A natural finish
– A long-lasting effect
– Perfect coverage
Choosing the right foundation is not always easy, as there are many factors to consider: skin tone and type, size, texture and performance of the different products. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the perfect foundation:
1. Choose the texture based on your skin type:
– liquid foundation for normal to dry skin;
– compact foundation for normal to oily skin.
2. Find the right shade.
Don’t apply it to the wrist, but rather to the bottom of the cheek and blend outward slightly. If it feels like it blends in and blends perfectly with your skin, it’s the right shade for you.
3. Use the right applicator like a special brush or sponge.
These are great tools for applying any foundation evenly.

3. A QUICK GUIDE TO A PROPER SMOKY-EYE
Trendy and easy to achieve, the smoky-eye offers endless possibilities. For a spectacular fall makeup look, choose two, or at most three, eyeshadows of the same color but different intensity and a smoky-eye pencil to help highlight the eye area. Use a nude eyeshadow as a base and a brown, violet or burgundy as a dominant color to blend.
Here’s how to do a smoky-eye in 5 steps:
1. Apply the lightest shade of eye shadow to the entire lid.
2. Apply the darkest color to the inner and outer corners of the eye using an eye brush and blend generously.
3. Line the upper and lower lash line with the smoky-eye pencil and blend lightly.
4. Color the inner edge of the lashes with a kajal (you can choose a color that matches your eyeshadow).
5. Apply mascara and enjoy!
If you have hazel eyes, try the reverse smoky-eye! Learn more about this technique in our article on brown eye makeup.

4. HOW TO MAKE UP YOUR LIPS IN AUTUMN
Matte, full lips are a classic.
For a flawless smile all day long, choose a lipstick with a comfortable texture and long wear. Luminous cream lipstick is a great alternative to the classic dark matte red lipstick. It offers an ultra-glamorous finish and will dress up lips with delicate shimmer for a look that’s easy to achieve…and wear! And why not opt for a brown lipstick in seasonal colors?
For a flawless smile, start with a lip scrub!
