The leaves are changing colors and your cozy-chic sweaters are back on rotation, which means it’s time to refresh your makeup bag with autumn palettes and chilly-weather-friendly picks.
It’s time to embrace warm hues and neutral earth tones to complement your chic faux-leather jacket, booties, cozy sweaters and beyond. Bold eye looks and rich lip colors are big trends this season and will make for plenty of fabulous selfies.
From visiting the pumpkin patch to fall festivals to coffee shop meetups, the season is all about coming together in stylish, autumn-friendly outfits paired with complementary makeup looks. Naturally, Avon has everything you need to get ready for the season to come. Read on for your step-by-step guide.
Prep Your Skin
Flawless makeup always starts with proper skin care, no matter the season. For an instant boost of moisture, try
fmg GLOKOLOR Hybrid Face Primer. The light, breathable formula features aloe vera, agave and algae extract to help soften the appearance of imperfections while creating a smooth canvas for makeup.
If you’re all about the glow (as we are), then you’ll love
fmg Match Airbrush Retouch Tinted Primer. The silky pearl liquid formula provides a soft-filter effect with a dewy finish. It’s the ultimate glow-booster.
Pick a Base
Typically, it’s common to gravitate toward matte formulas during the colder months. However, these days, many are favoring glowy and luminous formulas long past summer. In fact, as recently reported by
Glamour, “‘Glowy, dewy makeup’ is pulling in more searches this season; it’s up 185%* on Pinterest.” Fortunately, Avon has you covered, no matter your preference.
If you prefer a glowy, dewy look, try
fmg Match Tint Radiant Tinted Moisturizer for lightweight, buildable coverage with a radiant finish. And if you prefer a matte finish with a bit more coverage, you’ll love
fmg Cashmere 24 Hour Liquid Foundation, which provides long-lasting full coverage with a soft-focus matte finish. (Tip: It pairs beautifully with our
fmg Cashmere 24 Hour Concealer for spots needing a bit more coverage.) Don’t forget your
fmg Flawless Complexion Sponge to blend it to perfection!
Switch Up Your Color Palette
Opt for trendy, in-season hues to highlight and accent your eyes. One beauty trend that’s hot right now and is perfect for fall is
latte-inspired makeup. When it comes to this look, eyes are the star of the show. If you’re a minimalist, you can easily play into this trend by sweeping a bronze shade all over your lid. To create a more eye-catching version of the trend, mix and match shades from the
fmg Glimmer Multi Eyeshadow Quad in Maven: focus on using the darker shades on the outer corner of your eye for definition and lighter shades along the center crease.
Grungy,** lived-in eye makeup looks are expected to have a moment this fall as noted by
Who What Wear and
Vogue. High-impact eye looks with smoky shadows, bold black eyeliner and exaggerated lashes† dominated the Fall 2024 New York Fashion Week runways. Create your own bold eye look with
fmg Glimmer Multi Eyeshadow Quad in Muse or Vixen ( both great for a smoky look!) and
fmg Glimmer Cream Eyeliner.
Groom Your Brows
Eyebrows are key facial features: they frame your face, so they aren’t something to be overlooked when doing your makeup. Groomed brows can instantly bring your whole look together, and it can be as simple as using a few swipes of
fmg Colors of LOVE Hi-Brow Sculpting Brow Gel to brush and set them into place. Or, to make them look a bit fuller and sculpted, you can use
fmg Glimmer Brow Definer to fill them in.
Trade Your Bronzer for Blush
In case you missed the memo, blush is very
in right now. From celebrities to influencers to models on the runway, the appearance of bold, flushed cheeks is everywhere. During warmer months, you may have focused on bronzer to help achieve a sun-kissed glow, but for fall, it’s all about blush. Blush is a great way to add dimension and easily achieve that flush look that you get from cold air.
For an instant pop of color, opt for
fmg Glimmer Powder Blush. Our richly pigmented formula blends with ease and leaves a soft matte finish. Use a tapered brush to apply some blush on the apples of your cheeks and sweep upwards towards your temples to create a lifted look. For a natural flush of color with a dewy finish, try
fmg Glimmer Be Blushed Cheek Color: It provides a sheer hint of tint for a soft, luminous glow. Bonus: You can use it on your lips as well for a monochromatic look.
Top It Off with the Perfect Pout
Autumn glam isn’t complete without a pop of color on your lips. This year, moody cranberry lips were quite the hit at Fall 2024 New York Fashion Week‡. Luckily, we have a few picks that will help you easily recreate this style. For matte lovers: try
fmg Glimmer Matte Lipstick in Garnet Sky. For those who prefer a creamy formula: try
fmg Glimmer Satin Lipstick in Wild Cherry.
Most importantly, always remember to have fun. Makeup is all about enhancing your already beautiful natural features. Don’t be afraid to add your own spin on beauty trends to make them more in sync with your personal style.
