- Published in Enviroment
With the excitement of fall fashions comes the cosmetics overhaul, as wardrobes darken in deference to the changing seasons. Fall means crisp evenings, thick sweaters, apple picking, wool coats, tights, and cozy boots--all of our favorite things! But how can you keep your make-up on point to go with the rich hues of autumn? And how can you do it with earth friendly products that will leave you feeling as great as you look?
Never fear, the fashionistas here at Earth Journal have pulled together a round up of our favorite on-trend beauty buys that can help you feel your witchy, autumnal best, all without breaking the bank OR breaking you out. We channeled our #fallvibes into the hottest shades suitable for any skin tone--so get your pumpkin spice latte out and dive into these fall beauty buys!
1. Au Naturale Vegan Organic Lipstick in African Affair
Who doesn't love luscious, bold lips? This shade, a deep violet, was all over fall runways, harkening back to the berry lip trends of the 90s. African Affair is warm enough to compliment all skin tones and easy to blot into a soft stain or layer for more drama, thanks to macadamia oil, Shea butter, and sweet almond oil. Au Naturale Cosmetics are lovingly formulated without gluten, parabens, fillers, animal by-products, synthetic preservatives or toxins! The organic lipstick is 100% natural, cruelty-free, vegan and made in the United States--and somehow it still manages to be flawless, nourishing, and completely on trend!
2. RMS Beauty - Lip2Cheek Illusive
Bring the berry trend to your cheeks with this versatile stain from RMS Beauty. We love this smoked plum with warm brown undertones on lips and cheeks. It gives a perfect chilly day flush to your complexion and keeps your kisser soft with jojoba oils, Shea butter, sunflower seed oil, and natural minerals. This product is certified organic and comes in a sturdy glass pot, perfect for touch ups on the go. While it comes in seven shades, we are truly obsessed with Illusive. It's the perfect fall shade, reminiscent of burning leaves, hot cocoa, and dark, ripe apples.
3. NARS Nail Polish in Arabesque
Finally, a luxury prestige beauty brand who understands the importance of being 3-free! NARS polishes are free from dibutyl phthalate, toluene, and formaldehyde, making it non-toxic and healthy for your nails! NARS are known for their high quality polishes, which have been known to last two weeks without chipping or peeling. Our fall favorite is Arabesque, which looks like a glorious swirl of wildflowers and sunsets. One coat gives nails a healthy pink glow, while two builds to a deep mauve shade, shot through with subtle bronze glimmer. It will compliment rich skin tones as well as pale, and works as a warm top coat to bring other shades into an autumn color palette.
4. RMS BEAUTY - Cream Eyeshadow - Magnetic
Another offering from RMS Beauty, this gorgeous cream shadow is the perfect on-the-go cosmetic to keep your look polished and simple. It's easy to swipe on during your morning commute, adding a touch of definition to your lash line, but can be layered beautifully for an easy smoky eye. Magnetic is a soft taupe with shifts of mauve and silver--in other words, the perfect compliment for fresh-bitten lips and flushed cheeks. It's smooth texture makes it a dream to apply, and it's lasting formula means it can double as a primer. We love this shade topped with shimmering plum or pink for an unexpected pop of color!
5. Dr. Hauschka EyeLiner Liquid
At last, a liquid eyeliner safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers! Cat eyes were all over fall runways, from delicate flicks to bold, graphic swipes, and now you can recreate them with this delicious liner. The rose wax gives the product a luxurious glide, which is especially important for sensitive lash lines. The formula is matte and long-lasting, so do be careful when applying since a smudge might end up sticking around! It comes in four shades, but our favorite is the classic black. For holiday parties or date night, top with a loose gold powder for a sexy, shimmering alternative to basic black.
6. Physician's Formula Super BB Cream
As tans fade, it's important to have a transitional foundation to keep your complexion looking even and feeling flawless. Physician's Formula is an earth-friendly staple, and is hypoallergenic, paraben-free, gluten free, fragrance free and non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores. This BB cream is blendable, luminous, and chock full of all-natural ingredients, meaning it will leave your skin looking and feeling better. It's slightly thicker than similar BB creams, but we found that it doesn't get cakey or chalky when applied, but instead gives you more control with the product. It's quite buildable, so you can go from a sheer to full coverage with a few extra swipes.
