Editors' Picks: 8 Best Fall 2012 Makeup Collections

The leaves may not be changing color just yet, but autumn has arrived in the beauty world. See which products we're already obsessing over from the fall 2012 makeup collections -- and nab them before the season even starts

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Light Year, $29 The start of autumn doesn't have to mean the end of a sun-kissed complexion, and this new illuminator leaves skin glowy. "It's more like a warm highlighter than a true bronzer," says Editor-in-Chief Beth Mayall-Traglia. "I like that it delivers the luminosity of a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick but with a subtle undertone of gold. While the color looks really strong in the packaging, the pigment is actually pretty subtle."

I tried Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara... it has a fragrance, and the brush is strange, but it's an okay mascara. I wouldn't put it in my Top 8 Fall 2012 Makeup Collections though.

Great products.

Too Faced is the only one that doesn't test on animals.

love these products

The featured Dior collection is great! Lancome Hypnose has better mascaras than the one included in this article.

by afra Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 12:27AM Report as inappropriate

would love to try the givenchy rose if only it were in my price range.

by schien Monday, September 10, 2012 at 03:52PM Report as inappropriate

the only thing not completely beyond my price range is the nail polish and none of the colors really screamed to me

by talecon Sunday, September 9, 2012 at 06:13PM Report as inappropriate

i really want to try the maybelline nail polish

by jenni84 Saturday, September 8, 2012 at 06:43PM Report as inappropriate

A lot of these are very expensive, but I would really like to try the MAC heavenly creature skin finish.

by yestfl Sunday, September 2, 2012 at 08:28PM Report as inappropriate

I really want to try some of these! Especially the blush color they're saying is going to be big for fall. I haven't bought a new blush in ages--I think I'm due!

by tallredamanda Saturday, September 1, 2012 at 07:41AM Report as inappropriate

I'm a wimp about trying new colors. I say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! But in the interest of TotalBeauty, I'm going to try a few fall trends. Aloso, haven't tried Lancôme star, but Lancôme rules the mascara world hands down, Nicole1021!

by Cheryl5752 Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 08:22PM Report as inappropriate

That Lancome Star mascara isn't that great. Have tried the sample.

by Nicole1021 Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 07:08PM Report as inappropriate

Nobody's excited about MAC's Marilyn Monroe collection, which comes out in October???

by LipglossandSpandex Tuesday, August 28, 2012 at 02:01PM Report as inappropriate

I like that this round up focusing on some of the fall beauty trends and offers actual products to achieve the looks. I'm most excited to try the new MAC MSF.

by HeathRene Monday, August 27, 2012 at 02:45PM Report as inappropriate

Well I'm personally excited to try some of these, it's already a known fact that the expensive brands are the ones with the best collections! The Lancome mascara really caught my eye, a good shimmery formula is simply the hardest one to find in the market.

I like to read about what you guys like. You always steer me in a new direction. However, because I am over 30 the very pink blush is not ever going to work on me again. I will try the mascara and I love the Dior shadow colors

And I was trying to save my money....

by michellefuentes Friday, August 24, 2012 at 03:42PM Report as inappropriate

The only thing I will probably try is the mascara. I agree with venenumletalis, most of these items are seriously overpriced. You're not paying for the product or the packaging, but the name attached to it. That doesn't make it better than a less expensive brand, not by a long shot.

by MissPoison Friday, August 24, 2012 at 02:51AM Report as inappropriate

There are definitely some great suggestions. I love the Guerlain lipstick case. And the nail colors this year are so fun with so many new options. A color for every mood - literally!

by flirtygirl214 Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 11:05AM Report as inappropriate

definitely doing the mac mineralize skin finish in light year,looks like a lovely bronzer/highlighter duo :)

by yetunde Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 01:50AM Report as inappropriate

Most of the items are seriously overpriced... 50$ for lipstick? o_O

by venenumletalis Monday, August 13, 2012 at 07:24AM Report as inappropriate

I will look for these

by LittleBunny Sunday, August 12, 2012 at 02:50PM Report as inappropriate

I might try some of these.

great list of beauty items for the Fall!

by sisisparkles Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 06:48PM Report as inappropriate

Fall makeup is my favorite and now I am even more excited about it. The Tom Ford cheek color and Guerlain lipstick look beautiful.

great

by passion4christ Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 04:27AM Report as inappropriate

Good article... its just a bummer that half of them are pretty expensive.

by greenivy8 Friday, August 10, 2012 at 10:12PM Report as inappropriate

Great article....would love to try the Dior eye shadow and the Givenchy lipstick. The duo seems like it would make an excellent day look.

by jenn8779 Friday, August 10, 2012 at 08:03AM Report as inappropriate

I thought that the Nude look was expected for fall, so I must be out of the loop.

by alictasia Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at 03:55PM Report as inappropriate

I really want to try the Guerlain lipstick!

by WiccanLady Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at 02:20PM Report as inappropriate

ooooh i can't wait for fall!! those products look so tempting :)

by LeSucre Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 12:32AM Report as inappropriate

Thank god for fall. Good riddance to orange and gold, both make me look sallow and sick. This was my worst summer yet for color. The Tom Ford and Givenchy look promising. The Dior looks too much like colors in other palates.

by krycekov Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at 05:08PM Report as inappropriate

I am all about color....pale or naked makeup makes me look washed out. I can't wait for colors to reach the Guerlain counter!!

by Ydabney Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at 10:24AM Report as inappropriate

these are pretty

by LittleBunny Monday, July 30, 2012 at 09:59PM Report as inappropriate

I'm already planning my this years 2012 fall look this article has been a great amount of help

by ainmeb Monday, July 30, 2012 at 08:42PM Report as inappropriate

I think the Lancome mascara sounds like something I would like to try. Same with the Too Faced eyeliner in moss. I like to have a more muted eyeliner and this seems like it won't be as startling as brown or black against my skin tone, but it will be noticeable enough for me to enjoy it and the "pop" it gives my eyes.

by Mrs.Endres13 Monday, July 30, 2012 at 08:39PM Report as inappropriate

I want to try the Guerlain lipstick. :)

by volta Monday, July 30, 2012 at 08:17PM Report as inappropriate

that Givenchy Rose Revelateur....pink looks gorgeous

by jaye_tyler Monday, July 30, 2012 at 07:54PM Report as inappropriate

Love!

by raquel_raygoza Monday, July 30, 2012 at 03:29PM Report as inappropriate

the Dior palette has beautiful colors, wish it wasn't so expensive. 48$ for eyeshadow is too much.
