Emily Approved: Chelsea's Fall Beauty Trends

We're a day late to the party, but we are so excited that our favorite month of the year is here!  Today we'll be kicking off all that is October yumminess with Chelsea's favorite fall beauty trends.

Chelsea is a sorority sister of ours and is an Emily proclaimed make-up extraordinaire, so who better to do the job, right?

Take it away, Chels!

Hi, everyone! I’m Chelsea from A Daily Dose of Chelsea. 

I was thrilled when my two favorite Emilys asked me to write a beauty post specifically for fall!

 I’ve been out of my blogging element due to finishing up grad school and job hunting, but I’m back. Now on to the fun stuff!

Fall is the perfect time to transition your beauty products from the hot summer months to the frigid winter temperatures. It’s also the opportune time to try new beauty looks!

Matte Lips 

   Leave that shimmery lip gloss at home and try something new! 

Natural matte lips are office-appropriate, while neon colors stand out on the weekends.

  MAC’s Matte and Retro Matte lipstick formulas are sure to please. Their signature vanilla scent and multitude of colors are perfect for everyone! I suggest trying “Heroine.” Its bold purple color can be sheered out by patting it on with your finger if you are sold on the shade. 

If you are more of a drugstore girl (like myself), Wet n Wild and Maybelline have you covered when it comes to quality matte lipsticks. Check your local drugstore to find Maybelline’s Color Sensational Creamy Mattes or Wet n Wild’s Mega Last Lip Color. I love to layer Wet n Wild’s Sugar Plum Fairy and Cherry Picking for the color below.

Bold Brows

   Bold brows: Please, please, I am begging you; get rid of those tweezers! Your brows and your face will thank me later. Your brows should be natural looking, not drawn in. I am partial to Anastasia Beverly Hill’s DIPBROW Pomade. The lightweight mousse-like pomade stays put ALL DAY LONG and looks natural when applied using an angled brush and spoolie. 

NYX Eyebrow Gel is going to give you the same look for half the price! Its waterproof formula will last all day and the plastic tube is perfect for travel while you go out of town for fall break.

Add a little color

With the changing of the leaves comes the end of a golden summer tan (from a bottle, of course!). Just because the days are shorter doesn’t mean you have to lose all of your color. A lighter bronzer with add a glow to your face and chest even when the sun isn’t shining. Benefit Hoola Bronzer is a classic choice. Its neutral coloring works on almost any skin tone without making you look orange. 

A very similar product is NYC’s Sunny Bronzer. I use this bronzer as a face powder in the summer months and bronzer in the fall and winter months. Just like Hoola, its neutral tones won’t make you look like an Oompa Loompa. The best part? Its $3 price tag! 

We want to know, what fall trends are you looking forward to?
