When it comes to fall daytime makeup, it’s all about creating a look that feels natural yet seasonally inspired. Picture fluttery, wispy lashes paired with a soft wash of burnt blush and a hint of deep burgundy on the lips – a nod to the rich tones of autumn. The key is balance: keeping the look fresh for daytime while incorporating those warm, earthy hues that define fall. And with just a few tweaks, this look can easily carry you from day to night. Whether you’re off to a morning meeting or a casual lunch, we’ve outlined every step to achieve this chic, fall-ready face. Keep scrolling for all the insider tips.
After your usual skin prep, start with a few drops of a skin tint to create a smooth, even complexion with a natural finish. Next, use a brow lamination gel to sculpt fluffy, thick brows that frame your face. Lightly contour the cheekbones, keeping it soft and subtle. For blush, opt for a terracotta hue to tie in those warm, autumn tones. Stunning sienna shades like ‘Oh She’s Different’ from Patrick Ta or ‘Self Love’ by LYS Beauty work perfectly for this fall daytime makeup look. Use a puff to lightly set the under-eye area with powder.
For eyes, reach for the trusty Makeup by Mario neutrals palette. Sweep a soft brown shade across the lids for a warm base, then add depth with a deeper tone in the outer corners. Line the upper waterline with black eyeliner to create definition, follow up with a barely there wing using a liquid pen, and tie all together with a few coats of mascara. Be sure coat both the top and bottom lashes. To finish off this fall daytime makeup look, define your lips with a dark plum lip liner, carefully overlining the shape for added depth. Complete the look with a sweep of tinted lip oil for a soft, glossy wash of color that’s perfect for daytime wear.
