Autumn Makeup Transition

I've been changing up my makeup routine for fall. During the summertime I gravitate towards cream products that will withstand hot and humid weather. Now, I've gone back to powder products. I like that they feel new again after being stashed away for the past few months! I've also been using foundation rather than just covering spots and under eyes with concealer.

Here's what will be on face throughout fall...
Base
1 | Make Up Forever Mat Velvet + Foundation (Vanilla) is an oldie, but a goodie. I love the finish of this foundation and it works great on oily skin. I think it applies best with a beauty blender!
2 | NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (Custard) has been in every makeup post I've done. Sorry! It always works. I just can't imagine using anything else.
3 | Sephora Collection MicroSmooth Baked Sculpting Contour Trio (Sweet) doesn't have one bad color. I use all three on a daily basis. They blend like a dream and have lasting power.
4 | Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder (Diffused Light) is one of those products I only seem to use in A/W. I'm excited to break it out again. It's a great setting powder!
Eyes
1 | It Cosmetics Bye Bye Lid Lines Shadow Primer is definitely not my favorite. At this point I'm just trying to use it up so I can return to my beloved NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
2 | Too Faced Natural Eye Shadow Palette is a fantastic palette. It has everything I could ever hope for- matte, shimmer, and warm tones. However, I am tempted to get the Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics
3 | Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (Hustle) was featured in my September favorites because I've been wearing it nonstop. It looks great with all the shadows in the Too Faced Natural Eye Shadow Palette.
4 | Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara (Black) is my all-time favorite mascara. It provides length, volume, and definition with zero clumps. It's also super black.
5 | Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz (Caramel) is product I always I go back to. It's gives the most natural look, but can be built up for a stronger brow.
6 | Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel (Clear) was also in my September favorites. I don't know why it took me so long to try it out, but it's a real game-changer. Nothing else holds as well.
Lips
1 | Nivea Lip Butter (Raspberry) is always my lip balm of choice before bed, but lately I've been using it in the morning under my lipstick or gloss. It's very hydrating. 

2 | Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss (Ginger) is a great natural, mauve shade. It's a bit more thick and sticky than I usually like, but it lasts forever.
