Transition Your Makeup from Summer to Fall Like a Pro

As the sun sets on summer, use these expert tips to gradually tweak your look -- without sacrificing your glow or spending a ton of dough

8 of 10

Tip: Ditch bright eyeshadow

Over the summer we have seen "bright poppy colors like oranges or light blues on the eyes" which should be retired as we move into fall, a classically more somber season, says Stapleton. Instead, wear subtle tones like metallic hues with satin textures and more muted shades. Stapleton suggests MAC Eye Shadow in Wedge, Scene, or Quarry, $14.50.

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!
