Fall Foundations I Can’t Live Without

fall foundations

Something I rarely talk about here on the blog is makeup. I definitely don’t wear it that often but I find myself in the winter putting it on more often. I self-tan a lot over the winter and I also just feel like no matter what you do, your skin is just duller in the winter. Although I am wearing foundation, I make sure it’s still clean and not too heavy. There is literally nothing I hate more then a thick and cakey foundation that you’ll wear on your skin all day. Most of my favorite foundations are actually CC creams or tinted moisturizers because they provide coverage but they’re not too heavy. Choosing your fall foundations might be hard but it’s so important to set your skin up for success in the winter.

It Cosmetics CC Cream

This seriously is my go to winter foundation. It helps to keep my skin moisturized in the winter months and gives me some coverage to help with the dullness in my skin. Buyers beware though, the shade range is very little. I wear Light but honestly it only looks great when I’m self tanned. I like to apply this with a beauty blender because I feel like it helps to blend it out much easier.

Tarte Amazonian Clay

Don’t be afraid of this foundations because it may look like full coverage. I find that if I use a little bit, it not only covers but its also not cakey at all. This foundation is seriously one of my favorites of all time because it’s create in the summer and winter. It’s super moisturizing for those winter months which is something that I really like to have. If I’m using it in the summer, I just apply extra setting powder and I know I’m good for the day. Highly suggest trying this one out and this has a much wider shade range. I also like to apply this with a beauty blender.

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue

Bare Minerals is definitely stepping up their game and coming into modern times. I used to use Bare when I was in middle school and needed something for my sensitive skin. Now I like Bare minerals because of how light coverage this foundation is. I really think that this is merely a tinted moisturizer but it is so great. It’s not heavy on my skin at all and it feels like its barely there. This product is also awesome because it comes in a gel formula and also a face stick. Seriously an amazing product and definitely a go to for a fall foundations.

As you can tell, my reoccuring theme is that I do not like heavy coverage foundations. If I’m going to wear makeup, I want something that’s barely there and these are definitely my top three. Fall foundations are so important because as the air gets cooler, your skin starts to need more moisture. By choosing a lighter, more moisturizing fall foundation, you’re sure to keep your skin happy and healthy all winter long!

Fall Fashion Must Haves

Contrary to what the weather man is saying, it is fall according to the calendar which means its finally time for fall fashion. Fashion blogs are my absolute favorite posts to do and fall fashion makes it all worth it. When I think of fall I absolutely think of booties, sweaters, and a good statement jacket. Having these simple accessories as staples in your wardrobe will make creating outfits so quick and easy.

My first must have is a cozy sweater. With my new internship, although its hot outside its so cold in the office. Having a cozy sweater not only keeps me warm but it also adds to whatever I’m wearing. I find that a big chunky sweater or cardigan really gives any outfit that fall look but gives you the freedom with layers to not be sweating. These two cardigans are from Topshop and were $68. Although pricy, I had to jump on them because they are the perfect chunky oversize cardigan that I have been looking for.

My second must have are a good pair of suede booties. I do love leather but I find that the texture of a suede bootie gives off a comfier, cozier vibe. I know booties are often times hard to find that you like, but my go to fall shoe store is always Steve Madden. They always have the cutest shoes and are really up on the trends of the seasons. These booties I have had for 3 seasons now and they’re still really in great shape. I highly recommend Steve Madden not just for fall but for good quality shoes that will last you.

My final fall outfit must have is a good statement jacket. Whether the jacket is denim or leather, it nonetheless really helps to make the outfit. I love this black leather jacket from Topshop but I also find myself gravitating towards oversized jean jackets with hoodies. I really love the look of it and its definitely so cozy. Fall is perfect to try out new jacket styles too because its not cold enough to where you only want to wear your heavy puffer jacket.

Fall fashion is seriously my favorite time of year. It’s cool enough to break out sweaters but its never as miserably cold as winter is. Fall is also a major time for fashion trends with fall fashion week so there’s always fashion inspiration everywhere. I hope my must haves help you in your fall fashion endeavors.
