Tip: Swap your lip pencil

Changing the color you line your lips with will instantly update your look. "If you've been wearing those amazing brights [corals, oranges, pinks] this summer, change your lip pencil to a darker hue and work it into the [bright] lipstick to give it a darker or dirtier cast -- this will mute it and make it fall-wearable," says Stapleton. Try using Clinique Quickliner for Lips in Crushed Berry or Bamboo, $14.

Definitely agree on toning down on the self-tanner for the fall.

Really good tips. I especially like the nail polish one--you could even just darken your polish by mixing your own in a ManGlaze FrankenJugg--saves a little money, and you get to customize your polish exactly the way you want it!

This is a great article. Summer makeup starts looking drab once the weather starts getting cooler, so there some helpful tips here. Thanks!
