While I consider myself a makeup novice at times (I’ve been wearing it for only five years), it’s safe to say that I know a thing or two about getting glammed. With the help of one of my best friends — who did my face for my 21st birthday during the pandemic — I’ve been able to solidify my base routine. It consists of Milk Makeup’s viral skin tint, Fenty Beauty’s tried-and-true concealer, and Makeup by Mario’s volumizing mascara, which flatters my natural lashes perfectly. And of course, being in beauty journalism, I always look forward to getting the latest and greatest products delivered to my doorstep every week, especially around one of my favorite seasons — fall.
Being that I’m a “use what works for you” kind of girl, I don’t overthink it when it comes to transitioning my routine for fall. But I’ve been enjoying the new and renewed trends that are dominating this season, especially mocha makeup (which I like to think of as latte makeup’s edgier sister). Brown products are staples in my everyday makeup, from my lip liners to my go-to powder for contouring. I’m even more excited to explore my existing love for tonal browns with finds like Rhode’s lip liner, Maed’s cult-favorite lipstick, and Urban Decay’s 24-hour setting spray. What makes shopping for these items even more fun? These brands are available at major retailers like Amazon and Sephora — all of which have the best sales and deals, especially for members.
