Fall is just as exciting for beauty trends as it is for fashion. The colder weather makes way for exploring new colours and not having to worry about sweating off your favourite beauty products. Here are our top picks for this season. —Maddie Clerides
NARS Light Reflecting Hydrating Primer
This primer is the perfect product to hydrate your skin while helping to adhere your makeup for 12 hours of wear. It has translucent coverage and hyaluronic acid to further support your skin as the weather gets drier. It’s also non-acnegenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores.
Pixi Sheer Cheek Gel
This gel blush is truly a product like no other. While cheek stains have grown in popularity, the formula of this product offers the most natural finish of any other cream or liquid blush that we have tried. The gel formula is almost like a watercolour and doesn’t stain your skin too quickly, so you can blend it in for a beautiful, incredibly natural finish. This is a must-have product for a daytime or natural makeup routine.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleanser Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm
Many brands have tried to copy the iconic formula of this balm cleanser, but there is truly nothing like the original. The luxurious cleanser is also a makeup remover, leaving skin hydrated, plumped, and ready for the next skincare steps. This balm effectively cleans the skin but doesn’t strip away the natural skin barrier, making it ideal for the colder seasons. The price tag is a bit higher, but after using it one time you will understand why. The British brand just launched in Sephora making it even easier for Canadian fans to purchase.
Patrick Ta x Barbie Blush Duo and Lip Plumper Set
Celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta has made the backbone of his makeup line his blush duos, and now they have a fabulous Barbie makeover. Hot pink blush has been one of the biggest beauty trends of the year, and it seems like it’s here to stay. The Barbie logo embossing on the blush is an extra special touch on this limited-edition product. Like many of Patrick Ta’s products, this set is sure to sell out.
Moroccan Oil Blonde
Just like our skin, our hair also gets so much drier as the seasons change. Our hair may have been damaged in the sun or water during the summer and then dries out further in the fall, creating the perfect recipe for breakage. The iconic Moroccan Oil hair oil has a new purple tint, which neutralizes brassiness in any lightened hair – not just blondes. This is a wonderful way to nourish hair while keeping your colour fresh.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
This body cream has a religious following, and for good reason: it’s incredibly nourishing, versatile and affordable. The CeraVe cream is non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog pores) so it’s great to use after shaving. It is formulated with hyaluronic acid, which helps protect your hands after frequent handwashing and harsh weather and is sensitive skin approved. Pro tip: apply this scentless lotion before your favourite fragrance, and it will help lock it in all day.
Fenty Gloss Bomb Stix
Rihanna has done it again. A new take on Fenty’s iconic Gloss Bomb lip glosses is this new product which is taking social media by storm. This formula combines the best part of a lipstick application with a gloss-like finish, plus medium pigment. It’s super moisturizing and comes in trendy colours that would be amazing for fall, like rose-coloured Riri and Sp’Ice Cold.
Drunk Elephant B Goldi Drops
With shorter and shorter days of sunlight, our skin can start looking a bit dull. These drops are like sunshine in a bottle, and with some skincare benefits to boot. The 5% niacinamide helps improve radiance and clarity while giving skin an immediate sun-kissed and natural glow. Mix this into your moisturizer or put it on after primer for some added luminosity. Our favourite way to use it is to mix with a moisturizer and apply to the décolletage.
Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50
Even though the sun isn’t as strong in the fall, it is still critical to wear your sunscreen every day. This sunscreen has a natural tint which evens out skin tone and can act as an easy base for quick 5-minute makeup while still ensuring you are protected from harmful UVA/ UVB rays.
