Autumn is seen as a time for change, both season and style. It’s a time to rethink colour palettes, add a little more moisturiser into our skincare routine, and just edit what we use on regular rotation in life. This never has to mean abandoning everything you’re currently using and getting entirely new products; in fact, it means the opposite. It’s all about editing—adding small, sustainable, and necessary changes to your routine—and being smart with what you purchase. Here are ten must-have products to add to your regimen this autumn.

Ouai Super Dry Shampoo – £20.00

Look Fantastic

This travel size/full-size combo is perfect for freshening up a blow-dry in any circumstance. Dry shampoo is a great way to get some extra time out of a blow-dry, but what many people don’t know is that the product works amazingly on clean hair, too. Think of it as prevention being better than cure. Thank us later.

Ginger Lily Ginger Lily Ginger Lily Ginger Lily Ginger Lily Scented Candle – £11.99

Zara Home UK

Half of Autumn’s charm is enjoying cozy nights in and giving yourself some well-deserved TLC—especially after the year we’ve had so far. Your surroundings have never been more important, and adding sweet-smelling candles to your evening wind-down is the most simplistic way to enhance your surroundings.

Retro Matte Lipstick- Ruby Woo – £17.50

MAC Cosmetics

There’s no doubt that gloss and high shine lipsticks are absolute no-no’s when a facemask is involved. This year is all about satin finishes, or a simple matte. Ruby Woo is the perfect shade of red, with just a hint of pink, to give you the raspberry pout of dreams. It’s a timeless colour that works year-round.

Super Hydration Instant Facial Sheet Mask – £7.99

Seoulista

Add this k-beauty sheet mask to any skincare routine, or night time ritual, for an extra injection of luxury and relaxation. This nourishing sheet—which has won numerous awards—is designed to nourish dry skin, so is perfect for this time of year.

Glow Mist – £16.00

Pixi by Petra

Pixi Glow Mist is a must-have if you aim to have a dewy and glowing complexion. The mist works well as a toner, or as a refreshing spritz to use throughout the day. Its lightweight and doesn’t leave an oily residue.

Beauty Sleep Face & Body Mask – £13.00

Lush cosmetics

This calming mask will send you into a state of pure bliss with its lavender-infused aroma and soothing formula. Pair this mask with a hot bubble bath for the ultimate self-care experience and great night’s sleep.

Body Hero Daily Oil Wash- £15.00

Glossier

This body cleanser is inspired by the popular method of cleansing your face using oil rather than traditional textures like gel and foam. It’s less stripping on the skin and leaves your skin hydrated and soft.

Revolution Body Skincare AHA Smoothing Intense Moisture Lotion- £8.00

Revolution/ASOS Beauty

Use this exfoliating moisture cream 2-3 times per-week for supple glowing skin. The nourishing cream is enriched with lactic and glycolic acid to give you an even and soft skin surface. Exfoliation is essential with colder months approaching, and a cream exfoliant ensures the gentlest approach.

Green Me Volume Mascara– £10.99

Kiko has launched their new Green Me range—a more eco-friendly line of products—and we love love love it! This sustainable mascara comes in two shades and adds both depth and volume to your lashes.

Kérastase Chronologiste Thermique Blow-dry Cream £34.90

Feel Unique

Finally, this product is our recommendation to combat one of the most stressful parts of one’s beauty routine: the blow-dry. The cold, and sometimes dry, climate of the autumn can be disastrous on your hair depending on how you like to wear it. This blow-dry cream works as a heat protector and an anti-frizz primer to seal in your finish and keep your hair smoother for longer.

New York Fashion Week indisputably sets the trends. Its influence does not stop at fashion and clothing as an array of hair and beauty trends debut on the runway and into the public interest.

HBO’s Euphoria (which debuted this June) has had a strong influence on the makeup artists of NWFW with MUA Romero Jennings even hash-tagging on his Insta post featuring his VFiles looks. With the shows now a vibrant memory, here’s our rundown of the best looks in hair and makeup that will shock, amaze and inspire you.

MAKEUP

Head in the Clouds

At Mansur Gavriel it was all about the eyes. Romy Soleimani (@romyglow) was in control of painting the eyelids of the models, and skilfully utilised white and azure hues to create dreamy looks that mirrored the sky. Soleimani used Bobbi Brown to create these awing looks and kept true to her love of colour.

Acid Green

Do you ever get the urge to find the brightest eyeshadow in your makeup collection and paint it all over your lids? Soleimani’s acid toned eye-looks for Ulla Johnson did just this. Sharp and glow in the dark, Soleimani applied neon green eye pigment delicately and idiosyncratically to each model, creating a masterpiece and continuing her experimental style.

Graphic Eyeliner

VFiles rocks an edgy-streetwear aesthetic and fittingly, MUA Romero Jennings (@romerojennings) went big and bold with the makeup. Red-winged liner to the heavens, holographic glitter, and silver brows all caught our attention.

Jennings put a contemporary yet dazzling spin on 70s punk beauty, using M.A.C products to create the look – Jules from Euphoria would be proud. Use the Chromaline gel eyeliner in Basic Red to recreate the look, and don’t feel pressured to make it too perfect, just wing it.

Rhinestone Encrusted

Pyer Moss’ show was a love-letter to the 70s. Red rhinestones encrusted the models’ eyes and garments down the runway. Uoma beauty took control of beauty and kept up with the brand’s commitment to keeping makeup diverse, purposeful and head-turning. Red monochrome eyes were all the rave. The makeup at fashion week teaches us to have fun with glitter, bright colours and killer wings. Treat your face as a canvas and experiment with a few of these future-facing eye-looks!

HAIR & ACCESSORIES

Don’t Touch My Hair

Pyer Moss’ show Collection 3, Sister also impressed as he put on display the contributions of African Americans to American culture. Fittingly, natural hair slayed the runway and was styled with skill. Such hair looks are long overdue at Fashion Week with African-American models such as Olivia Anakwe previously calling out their negative experiences with hair stylists.

Moss’ show proves that change is occurring.

With New York city only recently banning discrimination of natural hair, Moss’ show seems to question why it has taken this long. His show embraces and celebrates, in all of its glory, natural hair. Mini gold heads of rapper Ms Lauryn Hill embellished braided hair, halo-like Afros graced heads and dreads of all variants were all standouts.

Holo-Hair

Both Jonathan Cohen and Ulla Johnson featured models with hair plaited together with fabric (Cohen) and holographic plastic (Johnson) giving off Boho-Chic vibes. Though fabric in hair is a little 2000’s it could be making a comeback this season. Alice + Olivia colour-coordinated baby-pink hair scarves tied into a ponytail with eye-shadow, major 90s nostalgia.

Bejewelled Faces

Accessories? Makeup? Both? Regardless of unanswered questions – Area stole the show with the way they reinvented the chemical compositions of ‘makeup’. From diamante beards to Swarovski tears, Area’s aesthetic had us in awe and left us philosophising just how they managed to keep the jewels on faces without falling off! Face makeup was kept to a minimum for the show allowing the jewels to shine with full force.

We’ve been preparing for the release of Tarantino’s latest film, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, for a while now, ever since the adrenaline-pumping teaser trailer was released in March. Featuring Hollywood heavy-weights, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie, the film was promising to be the blockbuster of the summer.

While like any other Tarantino film, it’s filled with blood and horror, juxtaposed by the black comedy and charisma so stereotypical of his narratives, the melancholic tale of Sharon Tate’s murder by the Manson family still leaves a sour taste in our mouths some fifty years later.

And it seems that Margot Robbie’s efforts to keep Sharon’s beauty and spirit alive was a great deal of importance to the actress, who told Vogue in her 73 Questions video, that despite not being a method actor, she does end up acting like a character after a while (she even touchingly has a portrait of the actress in her Malibu home).

The press tour was awash with a ’60s rose-tinted dream with the uncanniness between Robbie and Tate, as every red-carpet and screening across the globe was a recreated look of the icon. It was truly a reminder of the effortless beauty of Sharon Tate that we all miss.And the red carpet wasn’t the only place we have seen some ’60s nostalgia, as the graphic eye looks so quintessential of the era have been modded and played with throughout many of the AW19 runways.

So here’s how to recreate the classic Sharon Tate look so you can feel groovy all season long.

Apply a M.A.C. Paintpot in Painterly as a matte eyeshadow base that washes a gorgeous taupe over lids, and follow with some translucent powder to set.

Then using Charlotte Tilbury’s Luxury Eyeshadow Palette in The Sophisticate, use a big fluffy blending brush and apply the light, mid-tone brown through the crease, and along the bottom lash line.

To get Sharon’s sleepy, sexy, ‘heavy lids’ use the deep-brown shade with an angled liner brush (something like Morphe’s Y23 – PRO ANGLE LINER) and cut your crease to create a strong, dark line to define the socket. This line should extend out from the eye to create a flick.

Then to get fluttering ’60s lashes, go in with an eyelash curler as many times as possible (before you get carpal tunnel) and apply lashings of Pat McGrath’s FetishEyes to both top, and bottom lashes. And for extra pizazz use a strip of false lashes.

To finish off the eyes, define the eyes with Tate’s fluffy brows using Benefits Gimme’ Brow, followed by the cream shade from The Sophisticate Palette to highlight underneath the brow bone.

Finally apply Chanel’s Rouge Coco Flash in Rush allow over the lips, and lightly onto the apples of the cheeks as a blush to tie in all the colours together.
