Makeup tips for fall

1Keep that healthy summer glow.

Switch from a mattifying foundation to something with a richer, dewy texture to help your skin prepare for weather change, says Courtney Akai of the Courtney Akai Lash Boutique in New York City.

2For a sleek, sexy, smokey-eye look to match the rich colors of fall…

Wear a deeper shade of eyeliner such as a deep violet, cafe brow, or hunter green, says Akai.

3Want your eyes to pop without heavy clumps of mascara?

You need more lashes! Try semi-permanent eyelash extensions. Just by adding some length and volume, says Akai, they bring out the color and shape of the eye without your having to add anything to your makeup bag.

4Put some shimmer in your shadow.

Switch to deeper shades of bronze, charcoal or plum to add just a hint of sparkle to your sexy, smokey eye.

5No more loose lips.

Wear your favorite stand-alone summer gloss over a deeper, more opaque lipstick -- a rich, intense look to really define your lips.

6Learn from the runways.

Runway beauty is gorgeous and specifically created to evoke thought and set trends. "They should always be interpreted as conceptual, not literal!" says Mathew Nigara, celebrity makeup artist for NYC cosmetics, of runway styles. Women should take the ideas as direction and try to implement seasonal changes in their daily routines, but only if it works for them, he says.
