Fall transition: 8 Beauty Panel tips for changing up your hair and makeup with the season

by FASHION Staff August 29, 2013

With September rolling in this (long) weekend, it might be time to finally admit that summer is coming to an end. It’s time to say goodbye to our favourite warm weather-inspired beauty trends and embrace what fall has to offer. Spring’s bright lipsticks and summer’s superfluous bronzer will be dearly missed, but with the fall beauty guide out, our anticipation to try the ombre lips of Christian Dior, the fluffy hair of Marc by Marc Jacobs and the divine red eyeshadow of Gucci is at an all time high. There is no question that this fall it’s all about being bold.

But if you’re not a drop-everything-and-go-for-it kinda gal, the best way to test out a new fall trend is to ease your way in. Which means keeping some of your spring and summer favourites going strong as the seasons change. To help with the transition, we asked the Beauty Panel to share which summer styles they’re keeping into fall and how they’re making it work.

There’s nothing wrong with not being ready to let go of a favourite summer makeup routine—and there are plenty of ways to make it work for fall. Two of our newest Beauty Panel members chose lipstick as their ideal summer-to-fall transition. Michelle Nicole of A Lovely Allure enjoys playing with neutral colours and with fall approaching, she’s chosen a colour that resembles her natural lip colour with a slightly darker tint. Sticking to her summer regime of minimal makeup, Fun Size Beauty’s Stephanie Lau is carrying this look over to the cooler season but finishing it off with her favourite statement: a dark, bold lip. In the hair department, while Emily Chan of This Was Forever gives tips on how to repair frizzy dry hair (a result from too much time in the sun and chlorine filled pools), SYFGF’s JJ Cowan takes us through her favourite up-do of the season: the top bun.
