I know it is still August but guys Fall is creeping up on us. You can tell when you walk into Target and see Halloween decor, all the back to school ads and Fall clothing in all the stores. It’s Fall time. The Pumpkin Spice Latte will make it’s return in a few weeks and football is back on TV. (hallelujah to that)
My Fall beauty must haves are not anything out of the ordinary but most girls switch from a light summer look to a heavier fall look. In the summer I hate wearing foundation, or lots of eye makeup because I live in Texas and you sweat just checking the mail here.
First I use anastasia brow duo to fill in my brows and set that with clear gel.
On to the face…
I start off with makeup forever ULTRA HD foundation. I picked up this beauty at the makeup show in Dallas a few months ago. I used it a few times and LOVED the coverage but with the Texas heat I just didn’t want to waste any of it. I love my Sigma flat top kabuki brush to apply it. PERFECTION. I follow that with erase paste. I swear this is a godsend for those of us with some serious under eye issues. I blend it in with my ring finger. Then I top with Lorac powder to set it. I use a little benetint from Benefit to brighten up my cheeks and pair that with NARS albatros highlighter.
I move onto my eyes next.
I use one of my eye primers first and I love the Nyx one because it’s super cheap and gets the job done. Then I go to my naked basics which honestly with all the shadow palettes out there this is my favorite. I really am not into crazy colors and I only used the nudes anyways. I use the lightest color up to my brow bone and all alone my lids. The second darkest for my crease. Done and done. I have been obsessed with Stila stay all day eyeliner for years. I always have one on hand and it’s the perfect winter and fall eyeliner. I have recently been loving my pixi mascara and it really elongates my lashes.
To give my lips a little color I love Bella Bamba from Benefit. It’s very much my a “your lips but better” kind of color.
There you have it my Fall beauty must haves and Fall makeup routine.
What are your fall beauty must haves?





I don’t wear makeup much these days because I’m a SAHM and because the heat! Seriously it’s ridiculous. But that naked pallet has been on my wish list for so long that I must purchase it for the fall. Must!!! I’m planning to get out the house more and I need to be all kinds of cute when I do.
I have been looking for a good under-eye concealer… definitely going to give the erase paste a try. I live in Texas, too and I know what you mean, This summer wasn’t too bad though. Thanks for the tips!
Must order that erase paste right now! Did you feel like it was large enough to make your money last a long time?
I haven’t even started thinking about fall. I don’t wear much makeup during the summer because of the heat. I tend to wear eyeshadow in fall to keep the color going that I got from the sun over the summer.
Make Up Forever is my absolute favorite makeup brand! I love their foundation, primer, concealer and everything else!
Naked Basics eyeshadow is definitely my favorite! I don’t wear much shadow, so that palette is perfect for me!
Definitely going to try out that Stila eyeliner. I love a good eyeliner! Great post & I really liked how all your items are affordable. My cheapness drives me away from the mall makeup counter, lol! Oh, I grew up in TX in my early years & I still cringe when I think of TX summers & mosquitoes. Great post!
I want that naked palette!! I don’t really change my makeup for seasons, but on that note, I need new eyeliner? haha.

I love a naked palette! My favorite, we don’t really have fall here, so I can’t change up my color too much but it is fun to try new things.
I don’t have any fall must haves. But I am looking forward to fall and Halloween.
Love your must haves! I love the MUFE HD foundation and you can never go wrong with any of the Naked palettes!
I love fall everything…makeup, dark lipstick, layered clothes….my kind of style!
I love your taste!
I have yet to splurge on a Naked Palette but I’m losing my willpower. However, I am obsessed my Anatasia brow duo. Fall in Atlanta sadly won’t start anytime soon, but bring on football and PSLs.
I’ve been wanting to try all of these!! I’ve been really interested in the kabuki brush, but haven’t really been sure how to use it.
I’m going to have to get back in the beauty routine for Fall .I also need a good under eye concealer, so thanks for the suggestions.
Great article! Although I love the summer, it’s not my fav makeup season. I love the fall lip, nail and eye shadow palettes, and the weather is more conducive to my makeup staying put. I was just discussing being sad over summer ending, on my blog Caramiawhy, but I guess I can add makeup options to my reasons to feel better about the fall.
I can’t wait for fall weather! The Naked palette is definitely my must-have 🙂
I’ve been trying to find a new eyeliner. I’ll have to give Stila a try! 🙂
