As the colours of the leaves turn warm and the weather cools down, it’s time to bring out the terracotta and berry hues, as well as the heavy-duty serums. In need for some inspiration? Here are our top makeup, skincare, and health picks โ beauty does start from within, after all.
With so many beauty products on the market, it can feel overwhelming when shopping for something new. Where do we even start? Donโt worry, we’ve got you covered. The breezy transition between a hot summer and chilling winter, fall is when we start taking out the sweaters and cardigans for those windy days, our skin gets drier, maybe even a dash of seasonal flu to top. Of course, we must adapt and adjust with the seasons, and what better way than to do it with style? We’ll be looking at makeup and skincare products which focus on more nourishing and moisturising properties to counter the drier change in climate, as well as some supplements and health tips for an easy, breezy, and radiant fall. All products are tried and tested by our team, and honestly โ they’re too good to be gate kept (so here’s a ‘youโre welcome’ in advance).

Fenty Beauty โ Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush ‘Riri‘
When looking for a fall blush, you want something that won’t dry out your skin. For a natural and flushed glow-from-within look, Fenty’s cream blush is a great alternative from their Match Stix blush, with the same lasting power, a balmier consistency, but without the greasiness of some cream blushes. ‘Riri’ is a soft rose mauve shade with fine flecks of shimmer for that natural glow, which Rihanna herself curated for her own personal use! It sits well on top of makeup, so it’s perfect for any touch-ups throughout the day. Oh, and did we mention that it’s sweat-resistant?
fwee โ Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot ‘Memories’
For those who want a more satin-matte finish, K-beauty brand fwee’s lip and cheek pudding pots are a solid option for that diffused, marshmallow-like finish. Packaged in a frosted-glass pot, this multi-use product isย very pigmented and buildable, meaning a little goes a long way, and can be used for bolder looks too. This product lasts all-day, feels invisible on the skin and spreads like mousse, meaning it doubles as a fun sensory toy of sorts. ‘Memories’ is a warm rose hue that really brings out the complexion for those with warmer undertones, though they have recommendations for various seasonal undertones.
Hourglass Cosmetics โ Ambient Lighting Finishing Powder
Inspired by light, Hourglass Cosmetics’ Ambient Lighting Finishing Powder comes in eight, universally flattering options depending on the ambience you’re going for. A non-drying and soft finish, you definitely get what you pay for with these โ a soft, filtered look that translates well on camera and in person. Free of parabens, animal testing, and talc, these are suitable for all skin types and all ages, many of those with mature skin noting that it’s one of the only powders that doesn’t settle nor emphasise fine lines and wrinkles. For an incandescent, candlelit glow, we recommend the ‘Luminous Light’, and for those looking for a warmer sunlit filter, the ‘Radiant Light’ is worth trying out.
Charlotte Tilbury โ Collagen Lip Bath, Pillow Talk Medium
The last thing we want is bleeding, cracked and pruny lips. This one is for the lip gloss and lip oil lovers, who want a shiny and plump pout minus the stickiness. There are many great glosses out on the market that donโt feel sticky, but itโs a challenge to find one that doesnโt settle into fine lines after 20 minutes. Not a fan of plumping products? Donโt let that scare you away just yet โ aside from the slight sweet mint fragrance and a mild cooling sensation, this isnโt a spicy plumping gloss, its main focus is on nourishing the lips as a lip oil would, but with the volume and shine of a gloss.
Beauty of Joseon โ Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics (SPF 50+ PA++++)
Sun protection is essential year-round, not just in the summer! Beauty of Joseonโs Rice + Probiotics sunscreen is a gentle, organic formula designed for sensitive skin. What we love most? It doesn’t leave a white cast, making it an ideal base under makeup for a smooth, seamless finish. The texture is slightly emollient and moisturising but feels light on the skin, ensuring hydration without heaviness.
Numbuzin โ No.2 Protein 43% Creamy Serum
Curated with ten different types of protein and skin-nourishing ingredients like ceramide, panthenol, and probiotics, Numbuzinโs protein serum is one of our favourites. Upon application, the mochi-like consistency leaves a soft, bouncy texture on the skin โ moisturised and revitalised without any hint of greasiness. This serum is perfect for sensitive skin, hydrating enough to combat dry weather yet lightweight enough for both day and night use.
Sports Research โ Collagen Peptides, Unflavoured
Collagen is arguably the beauty industryโs favourite buzzword โ and for good reason. It plays a vital role in supporting skin elasticity, bone strength, and joint health. By keeping our bodies functioning optimally, collagen contributes to a smooth, supple complexion that radiates vitality. Research shows that collagen production begins to decrease after the age of 25, making it essential to incorporate it into your routine. However, with so many options available, itโs tricky to find a product thatโs both effective and affordable. Thatโs where Sports Researchโs Unflavoured Collagen Peptides come in. Peptides are known for their easy absorption, ensuring your body reaps the benefits more efficiently. Plus, since it’s unflavoured, you can blend it into your coffee, smoothies, or any dish โ making it a versatile addition to your daily wellness routine.
