I don’t know what it is, but I love the fall time! Maybe it is the fact that I am in love with the color gold, the drama or just the simple fact that fall fashion is always modest and classic. Fall is just right around the corner and many of you are still wearing your summer makeup! It is time to set all of your corals and pinks aside to welcome more rich and lush tones in your life. This season a darker lip is a must have, as well as… yeah gold is still in! I am sure that many of you have already seen Chanel’s new fall line since the fashion and cosmetic industry releases everything almost a season ahead of time. I am not a huge fan of Chanel’s eye shadows because of the lack of pigment and staying power, but I love their Nail Colour in Gold fiction, Glossimer in Gold Light and their new Face Highlighter in Gold Fever. These items are all limited and a must have for fall! I have found that these products look great on all skin tones, especially a more olive or deep skin tone.

MAC also has a fall line that has been out for a little while now that shows off that dark rich red lip that is so hot right now, the line is called Cult Of Cherry.

A couple must haves in this line is the Spiced Chocolate quad eye shadows which had four beautiful warm shades in the palette that you can wear through the fall and winter. The picture above may look intimidating, but it is a guaranteed gorgeous line! Russian Red and O lipstick which are two of my favorite lipsticks are also featured in this line. O Lipstick is an amazing fall lipstick color, I urge all women who want more color on their lips without going too dark or too bright to run out and try on this color! It is a sheer cranberry with a hint of bronze, there is nothing like it.

Here are a couple of tips that can help you to change your look from summer to fall:

- Use a lighter shade in a bronzer and put more emphasis on your blush.

- Ditch the corals and pinks!

- Introduce black or a dark brown eyeliner rather than your bronze or nothing at all.

- Use a more volumizing mascara to show off those lashes. Summer was about sheering everything down, but Fall and Winter you should choose more prominent tones.

- I know this a toughie for most women, but you must wear a lip liner! If you are wearing a darker or brighter lipstick than you did in the summer than you must perfect that lip and use a liner!

- Time to start using your Creme De La Mer again! The weather is not too cold and dry yet, but get a head start and begin to moisturize and replenish your skin now.

- At your next pedicure appointment try a deep nail polish, such as OPI Black Cherry Chutney. This is one of my Fall and Winter faves!

- The Summertime can set a “care free: tone, but you must leave your house prepared with your fabulous hand cream (I am addicted to Aveda’s Hand Relief!), eye drops and a great pashmina scarf to match your new lipstick.

- Since you have commited to wearing a deeper or brighter shade of lipstick you have to make sure that you are looking flawless, you never know how you will run into! Try Guerlain’s Kiss Lift which helps your lipstick to prevent from bleeding and wearing off so soon!

- Change your blush to a warm berry or mauve for the fall.
