Fall Beauty Preview

 
OK, so you don’t have to ditch the bronzer and peach gloss—yet. But once you get a glance of our fave fall beauty products, ya might just wanna start steppin’ out in these simmerin’ shades.
 
Here are the five musts for your beauty bag—plus one star-studded extra!
 
Crazy-cute quad
Red eye shadow ruled the runway, but the color can be tricky to pull off in real life. A blend of pink ‘n’ gray looks girly and modern.
 
 
 
Prismatic Eyeshadow Quad, $16, ulta.com
 
A Hint of Tint
Sometimes, a girl’s gotta be practical. That’s why we love stocking up on tinted moisturizer. It keeps skin soft, gives you a bit of summery glow and a blast of SPF. Count us in.
 
 
 
 
A Sheerly Gorgeous Gloss   
Nude lips are huge for fall, but skin-toned lipstick can be a bit intense. A perfectly pink gloss gives your pucker a sweet kiss, without being over the top.
 
 
 
Suntints SPF 20 Liquid Lip Balm, $15, maccosmetics.com
 
Total Matte-ness
Matte polishes are ultra-trendy right now. Nab a couple fab shades (like OPI’s Lincoln Park After Dark in matte). Or, throw on Essie’s matte-making top coat. It’ll make even the shiniest shades flat (and cool) as can be.
 
 
 
Essie Matte About You, $10, essieshop.com
 
Inky Eyeliner
Save the pencils for math homework. Our new fave eyeliner is a super-fine powder, which means it’s perfect for smudging (instant smoky eye!). Opt for navy, which is fits for a rockin’ nineties revival feel. Grunge gets glam, girl.
 
 
 
 
BONUS!
OK, we know that starry glitter is a bit much for everyday wear. But for a casual dance or an amped-up concert, it can look pretty stellar. A couple of stars on the outside corners of your eyes has a cool hippie feel, too.
