Top Sephora Fall Recommendations You Need This Season

Skincare and Beauty Essentials

• *Farmacy Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum: Designed to gently increase cell turnover while sleeping, prepare to wake up with noticeably smoother, glower skin (without irritation) upon waking. It’s the ultimate multi-tasker!
• *Skin INC. Optimizer Voyage Tri-Light: This brilliant device has permanent place on my nightstand, making it an easy daily treatment within an arm’s reach. Just 10 minutes a day firms, lifts and brightens. It’s also fights blemishes and signs of aging along the way.
• *OUAI Texturizing Hair Spray: A quick and easy way to create volume and texture on demand. It works on all hair types to breath new life into one’s tresses.
• *First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser: I’ve been using this gentle cleanser for the last month. I appreciate the way that it cleans without stripping, leaving my skin super soft and also moisturized day and night.
• *Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream (reviewed HERE): A radiant hydrator with lifting, smoothing and depuffing properties for the sensitive orbital area. I’ve already run through an entire bottle.
• *SUPERGOOP! 100% Mineral Smooth & Poreless Matte Sunscreen SPF 40: My latest sunscreen discovery. This wildly effective mineral formula visibly improves the look of skin upon application, blurring away pores for a canvas that’s just as perfected as it is protected.

Foundation etc.

Foundations & Concealers

• *Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup: A modern classic with 40+ shades. It’s perfect for full coverage and a demi-matte finish. I wear 3W1 Tawny and reach for it on long days.
• *Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation: This cult-favorite has SPF-free, buildable coverage from sheer to medium-full. It gives a natural finish for red carpets or daily life. I wear shade #7 most of the year.
• *LAWLESS Beauty Woke Up Like This Flawless Finish Foundation: The newest kid on the block. This fragrance-free formula has clean ingredients without compromising performance. Sahara is my match.
• *Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Concealer: A flexible liquid-cream that banishes dark circles instantly. Coverage is impressive but still so natural. Little goes a long way. On low-maintenance days, apply strategically as foundation. I wear 3W most of the year. **worn at the end of this post

Cheeks and face.

Cheeks + Face

• *Givenchy Healthy Glow Bronzer #4 Extreme Saison: The visible dent in this bronzer shows you how much I use this bronzer. It’s a perfect true brown tan that contours as well as it adds warmth. **worn at the end of this post
• *Laura Mercier Blush Color Infusion in Peach: Velvety smooth and delightfully radiant, this peachy coral confection looks incredible on the apples of one’s cheeks and wears like a dream. **worn at the end of this post
• *Natasha Denona Super Glow Highlighters: I am in love with this new trio of highlighting powders from the exquisite Ms. Denona. The finely milled formula imparts a creamy, nearly glossy sheen that makes skin look positively lit-from-within. **worn at the end of this post

Eyes.

Eye Products

• GrandeLASH and GrandeBROW (reviewed HERE): I have been using this duo for well over a year and am so pleased with the results. My lashes and brows continue to grow and thrive and I cannot recommend both formulas enough.
• *Natasha Denona Camel Eyeshadow Palette: This is perhaps my most favorite Natasha Denona 5-palette to date; the lush matte tones and warm radiant shades work together to create a classic neutral eye. Much like the utilitarian of a camel coat, this harmony of hues will have you reaching for it time and again. **worn at the end of this post
• Tom Ford Cream and Powder Eye Color in Golden Peach: Ever in rotation (I am on my 4th or 5th pot of this), I implore you to take advantage of the current savings and add this to your repertoire. You won’t regret it.
• *Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara: One of the best mascara formulas released this year. It’s vegan and cruelty-free yet entirely high-performance. **worn at the end of this post

Lips.

Lipsticks & Glosses

• *Becca Glow Lip Gloss in Opal (all shades swatched and reviewed HERE): A tender beige pink with incredible coverage in a single swipe.
• *Pat McGrath LUST Lip Gloss in Pale Fire Nectar: Multi-dimensional and glowing sheer pink for extra impact.
• Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick in 1995: The shade of summer-fall transition, this true nude beige has plenty of pigmentation to complement a spectrum of skin tones.  **worn at the end of this post
• *Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Bare Baby: In love with the name, and also in love with the non-sticky light pink shine. It’s an all-around perfect hue. **worn at the end of this post
• Marc Jacobs Enamored Hydrating Lip Gloss Stick in Mocha Choco-lata! (reviewed HERE): For a very wearable brown, consider this shiny, slightly nude option.

Makeup Breakdown with My Sephora Fall Recommendations

• *SUPERGOOP! 100% Mineral Smooth & Poreless Matte Sunscreen SPF 40: A single layer prepped and primed my skin for the foundation to come.
• *Sunday Riley Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing Eye Contour Cream: Sleep has been scarce, so I dabbed this around my eyes for hydration, lift, and glow.
• *Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation #7: I buffed a single pump all over my face for an even yet natural looking complexion.
• *Givenchy Healthy Glow Bronzer #4 Extreme Saison: I swept bronzer in my cheek hollows and also around my face for depth and warmth.
• *Laura Mercier Blush Color Infusion in Peach: I focused application on the apples of my cheeks for a fresh and peachy dose of color.
• *Natasha Denona Super Glow Highlighter in Light-Medium: I swept this powder along high points for ethereal radiance—forehead, cheekbones, nose, Cupid’s bow, and chin.
• *Natasha Denona Camel Eyeshadow Palette: I applied Zand on the lid, blended Dune to brow bones, and tapped Copper Sand in the center. Then, I mixed Zand and Copper Sand along the lower lash line.
• *Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara: Two coats for full and fluttery lashes.
• Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick in 1995: I applied a single coat for effortless neutral opacity.
• *Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Bare Baby: For a touch of shine and volume, I focused application in the center of my lower lip.
• *OUAI Texturizing Hair Spray: I sprayed upside down, flipped hair up, and my second-day hair looked full of new life.
