18 Beauty Products Perfect for the Transition to Fall

Fall doesn't officially start until the third week of September, but with kids back in school and the weather starting to cool off, it feels like fall is already here. As we approach the end of summer and the beginning of fall, it's time to change up our beauty routine a bit.

For skin care, we should focus on brightening and hydrating. For makeup, it's time to switch to bolder lip colors and neutral fall-toned eye looks. For hair, it's all about loose curls and easy styles. Here are some of our go-to products for the transition from summer to fall.
