Fall Must Haves (Makeup)

Hey guys,  I wanted to share with you guys the makeup that I'm obsessed with when it comes to Fall! Fall is my favorite season when it comes to makeup and clothes! There's just so much out there during this season and so many makeup companies are releasing new products for this month! I'm super excited and I'll for sure be sharing with you guys the new products that will be hitting the market soon! As for now, let's talk about my Fall must haves!

1)Vampy/Dark lips
Vampy lips are a must! I was always scared of dark lipsticks, but honestly once you start, you just become obsessed! I absolutely love Diva by MAC. It's a reddish burgundy that legit suits any skin color! It's also not too dark, so if you want to purchase your first dark lipstick, I highly recommend Diva! If you want something a bit darker than Diva, I recommend Media. It's a dark burgundy with purple undertones to it. It's similar to Diva, just darker! I don't own this lipstick, because it was sold out last Fall, but it's on my list! Another lipstick that I love from MAC is Rebel. Rebel is like a berry plum. If you want a break from reds, purple is definitely the way to go! It's another color that would suit any skin color and just amps up your makeup! If you want something that's a bit more intense than Rebel, but that's still in the purple family, try Cyber by MAC. I actually don't own this lipstick, but I've tried it on and I'll be purchasing it! It's a blackish purple, that suits any skin color! I also LOVE the matte lip cream by Nyx in Transylvania! It's a dark berry purple. Again, it would suit any skin color! The good thing about these matte lip creams is that you can always build up the color or tone it down. I always like to apply 2 layers, because I love a intense lip, however, if you're not used to dark lips, try one layer! Now, if you already tried the vampy reds and purples, then try something a little more intense. I'm talking about black lipstick! Some of you may think it's a bit too much, but trust me black lipstick is gorgeous! I personally love to do a light eye makeup with black lipstick and I get so many compliments! The black lipstick I have is by MAC called Hautecore. I think it's discontinued at MAC. However, Kat Von D has a black lipstick in her Studded Kiss lipstick line called Slayer, which is a matte black.

(By the way, these are just a few of my favorite lipsticks!)

2)Taupe lips
Another lip shade that I been obsessing over is taupe! If you want something that's almost in the nude family, but different, then give taupe a try! I find it's so Fall appropriate and it's a shade that looks stunning on any skin color! I have Stone by Mac, which is a greyish taupe brown, that I highly recommend! It's a lipstick that you can rock with any makeup look! I also own Ghoulish by LA Splash Cosmetics, which is a greyish taupe with mauve undertones to it. This is a waterproof liquid lipstick that I also been loving. The only thing is make sure that you use lip balm before applying this liquid lipstick! This one falls more on the grey/taupe side, but equally as stunning as Stone!

3)Navy blue lips?!
Guys, Kat Von D came out with the shade Echo in her Everlasting Liquid Lipstick line, that automatically captured my attention! I believe she released this at the end of July, but this is definitely a unique shade! I've been seeing this satin navy blue shade all over Instagram and I'm like YASSS, I need it! It's another shade that would look good on any skin color! It's something different and that's why I bought it! It's not your typical lip shade that you find everywhere! I'm not going to lie, it took me awhile to get used to it. I find it looks good on me, when I just do a light eye makeup. I know this is a color that not everyone is going to like, but hey at times, you just got to stand out!

Another look at it, I just love it!



4)Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette
This palette screams Fall to me! The shades in this palette are absolutely gorgeous and so Fall appropriate! You can create a neutral eye look or even a smokey one! There are infinite looks you can create! I'm absolutely obsessed with the shade Succubus, which is that rustic red brown! That color looks stunning in the crease! All the eyeshadows in this palette are matte! Like you can't go wrong with this palette!

5)Rustic brown eyeshadows
I figured I'd mention just rustic reddish brown eyeshadows in general! I love this shade for the crease! It's absolutely stunning and really brings out your eyes out! As mentioned Succubus in the KVD Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette is the definition of the perfect rustic reddish brown eyeshadow! I also love Brown Script by MAC, which is similar, but it has more red to it than Succubus. There's also Cocoa Bear by Makeup Geek that I love. This eyeshadow is a warm reddish brown. All these eyeshadows that I've named are matte and I normally always love a matte shade in the crease. Especially when it comes to Fall, I tend to use less glitter, because I love to have a simple eye look and bold lips!

6)That mauve/purple crease
Another obsession that I've had is a mauve/purple crease! I've been seeing so many looks on Instagram that feature a bold mauve/purple crease with a neutral eyeshadow on the lid and bold dark purple lips! I really want to try it out this Fall, because it looks absolutely gorgeous! I actually don't own many mauve and purple eyeshadows, because you know I'm always about neutrals. But luckily, I have the Tartelette palette, which has the 2 most beautiful purple and mauve shades! The eyeshadow Best Friend in this palette, is legit my best friend! I've used this eyeshadow a million times in my crease! It's just that perfect medium mulberry color that suits any skin color! There's also the shade Bombshell, which is a deepened plum. Again, absolutely beautiful in the crease. Since it's dark, it definitely creates a dramatic crease! There's also Natural Beauty, which is the perfect light muted mauve/purple color for the lid! There's also Makeup Geek's Country Girl that I like in the crease. It's a brown eyeshadow with mauve undertones. This one actually has shimmer to it (not too much), however, it's not too overpowering to put in the crease! If you want a medium mauve crease, this is the color to get!

7)Tartelette Palette by Tarte
I decided to give the Tartelette it's own shout out, because honestly, it's that palette you can never get tired of! This palette is perfect! It has your neutrals, your mauves, your cool tones, your warm tones, browns and taupes! You can create infinite looks with this palette! All the colors work well with each other and it compliments any skin color! Like this palette is one of my favorite palettes and I use it all year round!

8)MAC Fix Plus
The last product is kind of boring, but it's my holy grail! Ya, I can't live without MAC Fix Plus! Especially when the weather is getting dry, I always need to spray this on before I apply my makeup to hydrate my skin! If I don't, my skin just feels so dry and flakey! I normally put on full coverage foundations during Fall and it's hard to work with when your skin is dry! So, if you have that problem, definitely give MAC Fix Plus a go! It's honestly the best product to help your makeup and skin look fresh! If you also want dewy skin, then spray Fix Plus on after you apply your makeup! It'll just blend everything together so perfectly and leave a beautiful dewy finish!
