It’s not just for pies and lattes – we want pumpkin spice makeup, too!
By Lora O’Brien
Makeup motivation comes in many forms. We may be inspired by a photo shoot, an Instagrammer, or nostalgia for what we saw our mamas and aunties wearing. Sometimes, we choose makeup because the commercial is tempting, or a product seems new and innovative. Or sometimes, we just like the idea of something – for example, a pumpkin spiced latte on your lips. Or eyes. Or cheeks.
Yes my friends, pumpkin spice makeup is a thing, and with good reason. The brownish-orange hues that the theme implies not only go well with all kinds of different complexions, but are perfect for moving-out-of-summer weather.
Not sure how to pull this off? If you’re pale or have very dark skin, stick with brighter, tangerine-y shades, with a bit of red – more pumpkin itself, rather than say, a latte. If you’ve got warmer undertones, go for burnt oranges with a hint of brown, gold or spice – yep, I’m talking PSL spices here! But you know which shade suits all skin tones? Pumpkin pie! (Anyone else getting hungry….?)
I’ve found some of the best, natural pumpkin spice makeup for fall. It’s all vegan, non-toxic, and autumnal. Let’s get glowing for fall!
