5 Tips for Transitioning Your Makeup Routine from Summer to Autumn

5 Tips for Transitioning Your Makeup Routine from Summer to Autumn

Aug 23, 2024

As the long, hot days of summer begin to fade and cooler, crisper weather approaches, it’s time to think about transitioning your makeup routine for Autumn. Just as you swap out your summer wardrobe for cozier, autumn-appropriate pieces, your makeup routine could use a refresh too! At Lily Lolo, we’re here to help you make a seamless transition with our collection of natural, cruelty-free products. Here are our top 5 tips for updating your makeup look as we move into the new season.

1. Swap your Foundation for a more hydrating formula

In summer, lightweight, oil-free foundations or tinted moisturizers are popular to combat humidity and shine. However, as the air becomes drier in fall, your skin might benefit from a more hydrating formula.

Tip: Switch to a moisturizing foundation or BB cream that offers extra hydration and coverage to protect your skin from the cooler, windier weather. A mineral-based foundation is perfect for providing breathable coverage while nourishing the skin.

Lily Lolo Recommends: Try our Cream Foundation, formulated with natural ingredients to keep your skin smooth and radiant throughout the season.

2. Warm Up Your Colour Palette

Autumn is the perfect time to transition from bright, summery colors to richer, warmer hues. Think of shades inspired by the autumn landscape: deep plums, earthy browns, golden yellows, and rich oranges.

How to Incorporate:

  • Eyes: Swap out pastel or neon eyeshadows for shades like bronze, copper, and berry tones that complement the season’s colours.
  • Cheeks: Move from bright pink blushes to warmer tones like terracotta or peach to give your skin a healthy autumn glow.
  • Lips: Transition to deeper lip colors like plum, wine, or burgundy to add a bold statement to your look.

Lily Lolo Suggests: Our Golden Hour Eyeshadow Palette features a range of warm, versatile shades perfect for creating stunning fall-inspired eye looks.

3. Embrace Dewy, Hydrated Skin

With the drop in temperature and humidity, skin can start to feel drier. To maintain a fresh and healthy complexion, focus on hydrating and illuminating products that give you a dewy finish.

Beauty Tip: Use a hydrating primer under your foundation to prep the skin and lock in moisture. Finish your look with a luminous highlighter on the high points of your face to mimic that summer glow as you transition into fall.

Try This: Our Hydrating Day Cream is infused with high-quality organic ingredients that soothe and nourish, this multi-tasking cream delivers hydration and protection in one formulation for your autumn makeup routine.

4. Update Your Brows and Lashes

Thicker, more defined brows and lashes can frame the face beautifully, especially in the autumn when makeup looks tend to be bolder and more polished.

Update Your Routine:

  • Brows: Use a natural brow pencil or powder to fill in any sparse areas and create a fuller, more defined brow.
  • Lashes: Swap your summer mascara for one that provides extra volume and length, helping to balance out the heavier fabrics and darker colors of your autumn wardrobe.

Lily Lolo Recommends: Our Big Lash Mascara and Brow Duo Pencil are perfect for achieving a bold, beautiful look that lasts all day.

5. Don’t Forget to Moisturize

Cooler weather often brings dry, chapped lips and skin. To prevent this, make sure your beauty routine includes nourishing, hydrating products.

Routine Essentials:

  • Lips: Regularly use a hydrating lip balm or treatment to keep lips smooth and supple. Look for products with natural oils and butters to lock in moisture.
  • Face: Incorporate a richer moisturizer into your skincare routine to combat dryness and prepare your skin for makeup.
