This is the perfect time of year to try out new color palettes for you makeup and change your hair color to complement Fall's fashion trends. An easy way to take your summer makeup into a fall look, but still keeping your look fresh, is by adding deeper hued eyeliners and lip colors. I always keep a beautiful jeweled-tone plum or bronze nearby for the eyes because they add drama without being overpowering. I also love a deep emerald green when I'm feeling jazzy.

For fall lips I make sure I protect my delicate "muscles" by applying a conditioning lip balm daily. Drinking plenty of water helps to prevent dry, cracked lips and keeps them plump. I like to add more color to the lips with a few swipes of a deeper plum, nude, sienna, or red tone gloss. I like gloss because the shine and I can wear it sheer or full-bodied. For a little more color and dimension I'll add a lip liner to enhance the shade.

To complete my look I will add a blush with a little more color than my summer look, but keeping in mind that I only want to add a pop of color I just apply a tiny bit to the apples.  

Hair color is an important factor too. The summer sun tends to lighten our tresses, but by adding a rinse, cellophane or color-enhancing shampoos and conditoners we can add depth without the added stress to our mane. If your were bleach blonde in the summer go for a caramel blonde for fall, or if you were light auburn go for a cognac, or if you were medium brown, go for a beautiful chocolate brown. Remember, if you are a little color shy, take your time with transitioning into a new color and start with semi-permanent first to get used to your new color. Happy fall to you!
