This fall season’s beauty trends range from traditional staples to eye-catching statement looks. Looking back on the Fall 2016 Ready-to-Wear runway looks, we can easily see that the makeup used within various shows was an accurate prediction of what will be trending in the cosmetic world this fall. On the more unsurprising side of things, the dark lip has returned to its usual spot as a true go-to for the colder months of the year. Seen on runways like Rodarte, Louis Vuitton, and Marni, the dark lip trend in deep plum and red tones was made a focal point. To get the look yourself, try NYX Cosmetics Simply Vamp Lip Cream in shades She Devil and Covet, which are both available online for $6.50. Or, try Urban Decay’s Vice Lipstick in Blackmail or Disturbed, also available online and priced at $17.

More on the side of dramatic statement looks is the smoky, smudged eyeliner, which was also a popular choice on the Fall 2016 runways. This goth-inspired look complemented the collections shown by designers and brands like Adam Selman, Elie Saab, and Givenchy. Going the daring eye makeup route can be intimidating for many, so at first, you may want to opt for a more wearable, subtle version. Try the Marc Jacob’s Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in Blacquer, available online for $25, or NYX Cosmetics Tres Jolie Gel Pencil Liner in Pitch Black, also available online for $12.

Another core trend in beauty that has seemingly been in the spotlight for multiple consecutive seasons now is the natural, bold eyebrow look. Being that it is much easier to get away with darker, bolder brows come fall and winter, it is no surprise that this look also made several appearances on the fall 2016 runways. Valentino, Balmain, and Nina Ricci all opted for easy-going natural brows, rather than heavy filled-in versions. To recreate this low-maintenance look, try Soap & Glory’s Arch Brow Gel, available here for $12, or Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel, available online for $22.

Hydrate, Protect, and Freshen Up for Fall with These Beauty Must-Haves

Summer is DEFINITELY my favorite season, but it can certainly wreak havoc on skin and hair! Exposure to the elements, be it warm, mild, or cold will effect the way your skin and hair looks and performs, so before the weather turns to full-on winter coat season, start to prepare yourself this fall with some beauty products and tools. Here’s three things you can do, and items to accompany them, to have within reach at home and use this fall, in order to restore and repair any existing damage, while getting the look that lines up with the latest trends and styles!

1) Treat Your Hair with a Shampoo, Conditioner, and Masque Trio

There are so many ways to rebuild your hair and skin to its optimal shape with minimal effort, and the Pantene Pro-V Expert Collection Age Defy Shampoo, Conditioner, and Hydration Masque will certainly get you on your way to expediting that process! Despite our exposure to sun, heat, wind, etc, we will eventually show signs of aging, and our hair is unfortunately not exempt from that.

Get a kick start on retaining what you need and fighting what you certainly don’t with this new line that you can easily work into your shower routine. The Age Defy Shampoo and Conditioner (which can be used on color-treated hair) includes a triple blend complex that can be used to tame frizz, breakage, split ends, dryness, and more, while the Rejuvenating Hydration Masque gives a concentrated dose of the Triple Blend protection for an intense conditioning treatment, to be used 1-2 times per week. I love using the masque, and do it on Saturdays, so that I have more time in the shower to relax and enjoy the silky, nourished strands throughout the weekend.

2) Do a Deep Exfoliation and Cleanse to Remove Dull Skin

I don’t know about you, but getting a facial always make me feel A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, and being able to duplicate the squeaky clean feel and glow at home seems like a dream come true! With the Olay Professional Pro-X Cleansing System, you’ll be able to rapidly and efficiently slough off dead skin cells to get to that incredible glow that you know is under there. I love how super easy it is to use, and that my skin’s surface instantly feels improved, in better shape to fully absorb lotions and creams to maintain my dewy skin glow.

Using this lightweight, two-speed handheld device, all it takes is 60 seconds and some exfoliation cleanser to achieve a light massage and deep clean that will lead to smoother, brighter skin. Sounds like a no-brainer, right?

3) Condition Skin While Remaining Dry & Fresh

As the weather turns brisk, and you add on more layers of clothing, you would certainly want all of them, and your own self, to remain as fresh as a daisy at the day’s end, right? For fall, up the ante on your odor and wetness protection with the Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant/Deodorant, an offering that will be tough on sweat but gentle on your pits!

The formula includes skin softening conditioners such as dimethicone and petrolatum, while it remains non-irritating as it is void of Aluminum Chloride – an abrasive ingredient found in many prescription-strength varieties. I didn’t know this at first, but all you need is just two clicks of product that you apply at night, so that you wake up already feeling fresh! Plus, it releases scent ALL day to ensure you are as fresh as humanly possible, available in fragrances like OOh-la-la Lavender (my personal favorite!), Light and Fresh, Fresh Water Orchid, and Marathon Fresh.
