9 products we’re adding to our make-up bags for autumn

By Stylist Beauty Team

5 years ago

The changing of seasons is the perfect chance to refresh your make-up bag. Stylist shows you the products you need to see you through the colder months.

We know: it’s already autumn.

But as we dive into the new season and we swap our favourite summer dresses and sandals for knitwear and ankle boots, you might also fancy switching your make-up into autumn mode. Whether that’s switching out your bright shadows for rich browns and neutrals, or finding a slightly deeper lip shade than you’re used to. And if we’re completely honest, we’re secretly happy that this change in season also means nestling up in cosy loungewear is even more acceptable.

So keep scrolling as the Stylist beauty team has rounded up everything from blushers to eyeshadows and lipsticks that’ll help take you itno autumn in one fell swoop.

Shiseido-Shimmer-Gel-Gloss-in-Kurumi-Beige

The best lip gloss for autumn: Shiseido Shimmer Gelgloss

Where traditional lip glosses feel sticky and drying, Shiseido’s new formula feels more like a lip serum: light, silky and hydrating. They also come laced with teeny, tiny shimmer particles to amp up the glossiness of the finish.

Honest-Beauty-Lip-Crayon-in-Mulberry

The best lipstick for autumn: Honest Beauty Lip Crayon

Bold, pigment-packed lips are pretty tricky to maintain when you’re taking a face mask on and off all the time. There are clever ways to stop your lipstick from smudging, but it also helps to opt for a balmy texture, like Honest Beauty’s Lip Crayon in Mulberry. It adds a wash of colour, and feels more like a lip balm than any cloying lipstick.
