With summer in the rearview and sweater weather rolling in, now’s the perfect moment to give your makeup bag a seasonal refresh and add a few new staples to the mix. The Fall 2025 collections delivered across the board—think polished skin, barely-there monochromatic looks, and soft washes of vintage blue on lids. Also taking center stage: precise micro-liner, dark smokey eyes with feathered edges, 80s-inspired neutral multi-toned contouring, and vampy lips in both glossy and velvety matte finishes.
Choose the vibe that speaks to you and explore the handpicked products below to step into the season looking effortlessly gorgeous and perfectly on trend.

Jane Iredale HydroPure™ Tinted Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & CoQ10
This one’s a gem—this tinted serum feels more like skincare than makeup. Infused with Hyaluronic Acid, it draws in moisture like a magnet, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. It distributes the perfect amount of natural looking color and then comes the magic: it visibly blurs, plumps, and perfects, giving your complexion a diffused, smooth, and polished finish.

Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Glass 001 Legendary Glow Setting Spray
Total phenomenon. Ever since legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath practically broke the internet with her surreal glass skin looks at the Maison Margiela shows, the demand for this product has been off the charts. Infused with cucumber and Black Tulip, this ultra-refreshing mist sets makeup for up to 16 hours—and leaves your skin glowing. The best part? The more you spray, the more you shine.
Almost No Makeup Makeup

Makeup By Mario Master Mattes® Long-Wearing Cream Eyeshadow in Sandstone
From a makeup artist’s perspective (which I proudly am 😉), I really appreciate this elegant, earthy tone and effortless creamy formula. The shadows blend beautifully with just your fingers—no brushes needed unless that is your preference. The matte finish is soft, never drying, and a little goes a long way to add the perfect hint of natural warmth to any area of the face.
Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Lip + Cheek Glow Blush Stick with Hyaluronic Acid in Rosy Glow
Truly some of the most luminous and prettiest dewy translucent colors I’ve used in a while. With a range of fresh, flattering shades to choose from, they’re a joy to swipe onto cheeks, lips—even eyes—for a quick, radiant look with zero fuss.
Chantecaille Lip Crème in Bamboo
I’m obsessed with this lip color! The ultra-creamy formula is beautifully versatile—wear it sheer for a hint of tone or build it up for full, rich coverage. The shade Bamboo is the ultimate warm brown nude, and when dabbed on lightly, it gives a stunning, natural warm dewy glow to eyes, cheeks, and lips alike. Bonus points: the packaging is 100% recyclable and sales support Elephant Family’s conservation efforts. Total win-win!
Micro-liner
Instead of drawing a heavy line around the entire eye, take a cue from the fall collections and focus on subtle, strategic detailing. You’d be surprised how even the tiniest flick or accent can define your eyes—without shouting for attention.
Kaja Wink Stamp Original Waterproof Wing Eyeliner Stamp & Pen
Intimidated by liquid liners? Not anymore. This clever two-in-one tool features both a precision tip and a vegan stamp, giving you options for an easy, pro-level finish—no shaky hands required.

Sisley Paris Phyto-Eye Twist in 8 Black Diamond
Black eyeshadow pencil, meet your match. This jumbo pencil’s bold zebra pattern practically dares you to think outside the lines. The richly pigmented jet-black shade is perfect for sculpting dark, smudged smoky eyes or for drawing dramatic lines that stay put—even in the waterline. And the best part? No sharpener needed. Just twist, swipe, and let the creativity flow.

Barely Flushed To Bright Blush
This fall, blush is all about strategic placement and bold color choices…from intense pink swept across temples and cheeks in a deliberately haphazard way, to a softer side at Chloe, where muted mauves, berries, and natural tones made their mark, too. Pick your favorite below to add just the right amount of definition and glow to your fall look.

This one’s a total multitasker. I love that this creamy cheek and lip palette gives you three of Fall’s prettiest shades in one place—soft candy pink, bright bubblegum, and mauve. Wear one, layer two, or blend all three to create your custom flush. And yes, it looks just as gorgeous on lips as it does on cheeks.
