Transitioning to Fall: Makeup

This is a guest post by Kirsten Brusse from The Daily Beauty Blotter.

Now that the kids are back in school and summer has ended, it’s time to get back into a routine and trade in that tinted moisturizer for something a little more substantial.  To help you update your makeup bag, here are some fall trends that are very wearable and easily incorporated into your existing makeup wardrobe.

1) Matte Foundation – this is huge this season.  When wearing a matte foundation, the right shade is key, so make sure it matches your skin and blend,blend, blend!

2) The smoky brown eye.  Very soft and pretty and very wearable.  I especially love this palette from Bobbi Brown.

3) Graphic eye in cobalt blue – try the classic cat eye with this Urban Decay Glide On eye pencil for a big impact!

4)  A berry lip.  Choose a balm or gloss to make this trend wearable and less intimidating.  Clinique’s Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is universally flattering, sheer and easy to use.

5)  Oxblood nail polish – this is my absolute favorite and I will be wearing it all season long.
