Beauty product you can’t get enough of? Right now, the PMGL MTHRSHP Mega Celestial Divinity palette. It’s beautiful. I’m so happy I purchased it. I have been using it nonstop since I got it (which never happens) and want to use it more.

Must-have skincare product for fall? You know, I don’t really change my skincare up seasonally. I guess berry-tinted lip balms do take a bit more precedence in the fall for me.

One product you always wear more often in fall? Very cool toned lips; I have a couple of glosses that just scream fall to me: Revlon Ultra HD Vinyl lip polish in Date Night, and, similarly, Nabla Liquid Lipstick in My Rules. I just love those tones in the fall.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair).

Beauty product you can’t get enough of? Lately? Olive green eyeshadows! I do have a fair amount, but am still longing to put together a SG palette together that includes some of her sumptuously rich olive metallics.

Must-have skincare product for fall? Deeply nourishing facial moisturizer for overnight, ie; Drunk Elephant Protini Peptide. Same goes for my now beat-up from the pool and sun hair. It needs a good trim and some intensely deep conditioning masks!

One product you always wear more often in fall? Rusty EVERYTHING! Out comes my MAC Paramount, VG I and Royally Riotous lipsticks, MAC Burnt Pepper blush, and now, Huda Rich Nudes palette joins up with all my other rusty, plummy, coppery eye palettes. Oh, and olive green eyeshadows, too!

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Beauty product you can’t get enough of? that’s a tough one – I have a lot of products I like but can’t think of one specific one I can’t get enough of
Must-have skincare product for fall? Embryolisse Creme Concentree and (more for winter, when it’s biting cold) Ombra Melkfett cream (I don’t know what I’ll do when I finish my tub of it)
One product you always wear more often in fall? Dior Bonne Etoile and Chanel Tisse d’Automne e/s palettes. Smashbox Red Rage and Legendary lipsticks; Clinique Aromatics Elixir and Maison Margiela By the Fireside fragrances.

Your skin tone/colouring: Light medium, yellow undertones. Dark brown hair & eyes.

Beauty product you can’t get enough of? Wayne Goss face brushes, in particular 11 and 14 cheek brushes. LOVE these.

Must-have skincare product for fall? Well, it’s spring in the Southern hemisphere but Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentrate.

One product you always wear more often in fall? I don’t really change up my makeup or skincare that much, maybe a slightly spicier perfume occasionally? But I’m wearing Byredo Bal D’Afrique, G*psy Water and Blanche a lot at the moment…

Beauty product you can’t get enough of? Milani eye primer! LOL. I feel like I want to to better, more colorful eye looks in the fall and that product always keeps the colors true without any creases.
Must-have skincare product for fall? Kikumasamune Sake Rich Moisture Lotion Toner – this is the only product I have purchased time and time again. I splash it on before any serums and moisturizers and it just helps them to sink right into my dry skin!
One product you always wear more often in fall? brown-ish lipsticks….Grunge from Colourpop used to be my favorite but now it feels a little to dry/matte for me. Soooo, if anyone has any satin-y or even glossy recommendations I would be happy to have them!

Your skin tone/coloring:. Under my name

Beauty product you can’t get enough of? Nothing in particular at the moment, but indie eyeshadow palettes the last five or six months. It’s always eyeshadow palettes with me, though.

Must-have skincare product for fall? Hand creams, foot creams, and body butters, as my body skin gets drier, and my eczema starts flaring up more in fall. Otherwise, I don’t need to change my skin care seasonally.

One product you always wear more often in fall? Same as last question.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertone, dark brown hair and eyes

Beauty product you can’t get enough of? Skincare wise, retinol serums. Makeup wise, MAC Prolongwear concealer

Must-have skincare product for fall? I don’t change nothing in particular for fall, even the SPF is kept at 50 all year round for me. But as the weather gets colder, I maybe apply more often a peptide booster (my favorite is the Paula’s Choice one) and squalane booster (any 100% squalane oil will do) in my routine.

One product you always wear more often in fall? When I used to wear lipstick, I wore deep colors year round with no fuss. But something about fall made me not mind wearing MAC Diva 3 times a week instead 1. 😅
Otherwise, I rarely change anything with seasons, I wear / use what I feel like. Even summer clothes I use with appropriate layering.

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

Beauty product you can’t get enough of? PMG’s Sublime Mini Palette – such gorgeous shades that can easily be incorporated into a variety of eye looks.
Also I have been using a lot of Naked 1 lately – especially the shades of Sinful and Toasted for soft looks.

Must-have skincare product for fall? It would have to be a facial oil – currently I am using the Swisse Hemp oil, but I love their Argon oil as well.

One product you always wear more often in fall? Rich russet lipsticks – Laura Geller’s Battery Park Bronze, Maybeline’s Copper Charge, CP’s Foolish and Tea Thyme.

🎃Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral, nuked blonde hair
🎃Beauty product you can’t get enough of? I need to sing the praises of the pen liquid liner by Colour Pop. It’s not something I typically wear, but lately, I have been appreciating how easy this pen is to use even on my crepey aging eyes while still maintaining a very thin line. I’ve tried a number of these pens and a certain youtuber had me sold on Rimmel, but the Colour Pop is far superior. Great product and so darned inexpensive.
🎃Must-have skincare product for fall? I got me some K Beauty and have fallen victim to YesStyle. Fall is all about moisture. I love Mugwort cream by I’m From. I’m cheating and adding another product because it’s the sealer for night wear. DML Forte, It stinks. It’s a petrolatum product, but it locks that moisture in like nothing else.. Vanicream works too, but it tends to beak me out. Don’t understand why when they are similar products.
🎃One product you always wear more often in fall? I would have said darker lipstick in the past, but I am not wearing lipstick these days b/c of mask. I’m drawing a complete blank. I just start piling on the moisturizing products.

Jen Avatar

YesStyle is amazing! The I’m From line is also superb and their Honey line is honestly far superior to Farmacy. If you’re looking to get away from the petrolatum moisturizer for night time,, COSRX, Benton, Purito, Klairs, Wishtrend and Some By Mi all have great options for various skincare needs as well.

Beauty product you can’t get enough of?
I made the mistake of watching Alicia/Kinkysweat review SUQQU, and I ended up buying…. both of their Blush Palettes, 101 and 102. They are absolutely amazing and they’re some of the nicest blushes and highlighters I’ve tried in a while. They give a nice, but subtle glow to the cheeks and the 101 palette is pigmented enough to also serve as an eyeshadow for a full one and done look.

Must-have skincare product for fall?
I’ve been rotating through a few products, but I’d definitely say the Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Gel and Cream. It’s very moisturizing and the Gel/Cream works as a great evening moisturizer for my combo skin.

One product you always wear more often in fall?
Quarantine has changed up my habits as I’m it it has for most of us, but I’d say eyeliner. For some reason I don’t like how heavy it can make my eyes look in the spring/summer, but for fall/winter the extra bit of emphasis is nice from time to time.

Ivy Avatar

It took me a while to make the jump but truthfully I don’t regret it at all! If you do end up with one I recommend the 101, both are beautiful but I think the 101 has more punchiness and variety, but can still be used w/a light hand to get a more gentle blush effect. 102 has softer, buildable matte shades but the highlighters suit my coloring more so…. I’ve found a way to justify both 🙂

I think if you do pull the trigger you won’t regret it, both palettes are excellent quality and general color range in my opinion.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light with red
Beauty product you can’t get enough of? Shimmery olive greens!
Must-have skincare product for fall? I don’t really change anything based on fall.
One product you always wear more often in fall? Darker berry lips!

Adrienne Avatar

Brown hair, brown eyes & olive skin that seems neutral looks a bit better in cool tones than warm.
Can’t get enough colorful eyeshadow and lipstick! I am looking forward to using Pat McGrath’s Celestial Divinity palette. I have it but am waiting for the perfect time to dive in!
Skin care for fall: more frequent exfoliation & heavier moisturizer to combat the drier air. I live in the South and there is a huge humidity difference between summer and fall/winter.
I wear red & berry lip colors more often in the fall.

Beauty product you can’t get enough of? The ABH x Jackie Aina palette continues to impress, and every look I create feels new

Must-have skincare product for fall? Pimple cream! Specifically benzoyl peroxide cream. Before the stress of the start of school would bring out pimple breakouts, now it’s all my mask-wearing

One product you always wear more often in fall? This is the first time in forever since I’ve spent a fall in the Bay Area where we don’t get a traditional fall/winter, and the last time I did was before I wore makeup regularly. So I’m not sure if things will be different this fall
