5 Makeup Hacks For An Endless Summer

Sadly, summer is coming to a close and we're only a few short weeks away from cooler temperatures. The good news is, just because the weather changes, doesn't mean your makeup has to—at least not all of it! Carry these beauty goodies into fall to keep your look ultra fresh as the leaves begin to fall.

01
Color Me Lavender

Pastels were big on the Spring/Summer ’15 runways.  Keep the trend alive by sporting a lavender shadow. Keep it light for day, and build the color up for evening. We love  this range of rich shadows from Urban Decay that incorporate a fine shimmer to give your eyes a little bit of a pop.

$18, available at Urban Decay

Sun-kissed Skin

The essence of black girl magic is found in your rich skin. One of the best perks of summer is that extra hint of chocolate that your skin gets in the sun. Hold on the the magic with this St. Tropez Gradual In Shower Tan Lotion. Five quick steps in the shows will keep your just-left-the-islands glow throughout the fall.

$25, available at Ulta.com

Keep The Glow

We got a taste of it this summer, but by fall, strobing will be in full force. Keep your glow and spotlight your best features with this fine-shimmer illuminator bu Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Make ‘Em Bold

Fuchsia has been having a moment this summer, so why cut it short just because the temperatures drop? Perk up your lips with a creamy color like this Punch Pop shade. What’s better than super color that also super hydrating? That’s right, nothing!

$18, available at Clinique

Oh So Bronzed

For the girls who thought bronzer was not a product made for them, I’ve got news for you! Dusting a thin veil of bronzer over cheeks,   framing your face, and in the creases of your eye lids using a fluffy brush gives the skin a subtle summer glow with a little bit of that sun-kissed magic that comes from a day at the beach. Take your goddess appeal with you into fall with Laura Mercier’s Baked Blush Bronze.

$40, available at lauramercier.com
