Keep 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.
For 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.
Want 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.
Put 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.
No 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.
Learn 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.
