While back to school lists are usually compiled for school-age individuals, we’re not suggesting makeup hacks for kids here. We’re simply talking about the “second new year” of the year, the time when summer is fading and fall is starting in full effect. It's the perfect time to revamp your routine and refresh your look. Bright eyeshadows and sparkly shimmer ruled summer, especially if you were lucky enough to score tickets to the Eras Tour, but as the temps cool we’ll see clean, crisp, natural-looking makeup take over.
Makeup Inspiration for Fall 2023
Eyes or Lips — It’s One or the Other
Taking inspiration from French beauty — their cardinal rule is to either highlight the eyes or the lips, but never both. For everyday beauty, we love this suggestion because it can gently elevate your look without looking too done-up or requiring too much work. To get behind this look, consider using a creamy eyeshadow stick to create a quick swipe of color or choose a lip stain or understated lipstick.

The More Bronze The Better
If you’re trying to hold onto the last remnants of your summer glow, adding a bronzer to your normal routine will create that just-left-the-beach look without a great deal of effort. If you want to take your bronzed look to the next level you could try the viral self-tanning trick — see below — although we haven’t tested this and could see how this could easily go wrong.
If you want a quick and easy way to add a touch of bronzer to your skin, try the Jones Road Miracle Balm.

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach for everyone, we are learning more about our skin than ever — something I really wish I had during my teen acne years. In an effort to focus on natural beauty and improve the appearance of your skin, add dewy or highlight-inducing products to your post-summer skin to aid in hydration and add a little je ne sais quoi to your fall routine.
