While the climate might not show it, we’re still prepping our beauty bags (and skin) for the colder months. Think occlusive moisturisers, shimmery makeup for the upcoming festive season, and tints that handle both the everyday and occasional statement with ease. In case you’re looking to match vanities, here are all the fall skincare and makeup pieces we’re currently loving.
bareMinerals | Bareskin Mineral SPF 50
The latest by bareMinerals, this SPF soaks into the skin. Formulated with Niacinamide, not only is it necessary for our skin but primes it well for makeup too.
rhode | Highlight Milk
Another piece of skin prep that can also function as a standalone base, the Highlight Milk by rhode has been all over the internet lately, and for good reason! Taking the cult-favourite Glazing Milk, the Highlight Milk adds to the beloved formula with a soft pearly shimmer. For nights out, we opt for a bit on the neck and clavicle for a gorgeous shimmer.
Erborian | Skin Therapy Eye
Since we’re constantly around screens, eye creams have become a permanent fixture in sorting out the damage. This one by Erborian uses 9 plant extracts, Caffeine, and 5% Niacinamide to tackle any bags, fine lines, or dark circles.
Makeup by Mario | Long-Wear Cream Eye Shadow
Speaking of eyes, instead of going the 2016 route of a complicated eye look, we’re gravitating towards creamy eyeshadows that give a diffused monochromatic look. Makeup by Mario’s fits the bill exactly with a range of mattes and shimmers that provide a medium to full coverage finish. Formulated to be buildable and layered with other colours as well, what we love about this eyeshadow is that it stays put no matter what.
SAIE | SuperSuede™ Baked Powder Blush
A velvety powder blush that melts into the skin with a dramatic colour payoff, what’s not there to love about the SAIE SuperSuede™ Baked Powder Blush? The berry tones make it perfect for the season and when diffused, they leave behind a natural-looking flush that can be built up for drama.
MOONGLAZE | Moods Water Lip Tint
Colder air means colder lips which is why we’re stocking up on hydrating balms, lip oils, and in the case of MOONGLAZE, their Moods Water Lip Tint. Formulated with hydrating ingredients, the tint leaves behind a juicy pout with a sheer-to-buildable wash of colour. The finish almost looks like a gloss and comes in a series of natural shades that carry you anywhere!
Pyunkang Yul | ATO Cream Blue Label
A fall skincare list cannot be complete without a heavy-duty moisturiser. The ATO Cream Blue Label by Pyunkang Yul sits in the balance between super heavy creams and lightweight gels. However, it’s firm on its ingredient list—centella asiatica extract, chrysanthemum Indicum extract, shea butter, macadamia seed oil, and more—which work on nourishing the skin, controlling skin sebum, and deeply hydrating it.
Elemis | Pro-Collagen Marine Mask – Anti-Wrinkle Face Mask
Another hydrator that’s on our rotation, this mask can work in two ways. Either it’s left on for a minute before washing away or applied overnight for an intensive treatment. Formulated with Padina Pavonica, Adaptogenic Noni, Moringa and Argan Tree Oil, this pseudo night-time moisturiser leaves the skin feeling smooth, soft, and rehydrated by morning.
