Before my sophomore year of college, I was not the girl that was into wearing makeup. To be quite honest, even after I decided to start wearing makeup, I had no idea what I was doing nor did I feel comfortable with putting it on. I never wore foundation or lipstick — just eyeliner, blush and mascara. Likewise, I had no idea that there were different beauty regiments that I should follow when the seasons change. I was truly oblivious to any and everything beauty related!
Now though (many odd years later), I can say that I've stepped my game up a little and have begun a quest to figuring out the best beauty routine for me no matter the season. Of course, since we're knee deep into Fall, it was a must that I found a few products that would help me transition from that summer glow to autumn shine.
While there are a lot of products on the market that I'm sure can do that for you, there were four in particular that I think are exceptional to have on-hand as the weather begins to cool down for the year. Since I love to help you guys out whenever I can, I stopped by one of my favorite stations in Orlando, WESH 2, to deliver my top picks.
So, if you're interested in seeing the WESH segment in its entirety, feel free to click here. If you just want to cut to the chase and get to the breakdown of items, jump below!
1. Clove+Hallow Lip Velvet — $18
Clean, vegan, and cruelty free, Clove+Hallow's Lip Velvet line ($18) is a great option to keep your pout perfect this Fall. Made with 15 or fewer recognizable ingredients, the smudge proof, long-lasting, matte lipstick will be your go-to product for adding a desirable pop of color to your lips. And since matte lipstick is known for drying out your lips, the line is also made with Shea butter, coconut oil, and Vitamin E to lock in long-wear moisture.

The traditional horizontal mode helps you to get up-close root drying, while the vertical 360 mode activates targeted air jets to make for a faster, effective blowout that smooths the hair cuticles as you dry. Drying time is also 60 percent faster, while frizz is reduced and shine is increased.
