This autumn, makeup trends are all about soft contrasts and bold statements. A bold lip is the season’s standout feature, with rich berry, deep reds, and leading the way for 2024.

Pairing a statement lip with a fresh, minimal face is key - think glowing skin and barely-there eye makeup. Instead of mascara, opt for a hint of gloss & definition on the lashes with a clear formula to keep the eyes soft and understated. This look balances intensity with simplicity, perfect for embracing autumn's cozy yet chic vibe. We love the below:

The Bold Lip - (M)anasi 7 All Over Colour Pacaya a deep berry with a warm hint of brown or for a more sheer tint try the Ilia Balmy Lip Tint in Wanderlust.

No Mascara, Mascara - team your bold lip with a clear mascara for definition not drama. We love the Ere Perez Lash and Brow Aloe Vera Gel Mascara.

Autumn Nails - We love Kure Bazaar's Sienna - an autumnal warm red shade. Or for a seasonal neutral try Sofistico - a smoky taupe shade.

Looking to transition your summer fragrance to something warmer and spicier for autumn? We’ve curated our top autumn fragrances for you to explore, whether you prefer a subtle scent or something more bold and daring.

The Woods - UpCircle Santelle Eau de Parfum is a soft & warming fragrance featuring sandalwood & orange essential oil. While Abel Green Cedar Eau de Parfum is a velvety, rich scent that feels like walking through a dense forest, with a duo of cedarwoods & magnolia. 

Cacao & Smoke - Abel Cobalt Amber Eau de Parfum is a blend of incense, amber & cacao, while Abel Black Anise is more smoky, with tobacco base notes & warm rich blackcurrant and cacao.

Functional Fragrances - aromatherapy can help with the change of season, try Ede Press Pause Roll-on blend which is great for giving in to the seasons, slowing down & accepting quieter times while the Ede Burnout is like stepping into a spa, this grounding aromatherapy blend has a herbaceous scent of geranium, lavender, clary sage & petitgrain.

After fun in the sun over Summer, our skin may need some extra care and attention. Vitamin C is our go-to powerhouse ingredient when it comes to sun damage & skin repair. With brightening and antioxidant properties, Vitamin C helps to neutralise free radicals caused by UV exposure, promoting collagen production and reducing the appearance of dark spots.

Try one of our best-selling C serums to add to your routine this autumn...

As the weather turns cooler, your skin may crave extra soothing and comfort to combat dryness and irritation. Autumn’s crisp air can leave skin feeling tight and sensitive, making it the perfect time to reach for rich, nourishing comfort creams. Think of them like a cozy blanket, wrapping your skin in hydration and calm, helping to restore softness and balance. Try these three:

Tata Harper Calming Creme - For the most sensitive skin this pillowy cream soothes redness & neutralises hyperactivity to calm flare-ups. Awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance™.

Autumn is the perfect time to introduce rich, replenishing oils into your skincare routine to lock in moisture and protect against dryness. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, these seasonal facial oils help repair summer damage while preparing your skin for the colder months ahead. Try these:

As we transition into autumn, we see two common concerns: increased hair shedding - a natural part of the hair’s growth cycle influenced by seasonal changes - teamed with the drying effects of summer sun, chlorine, and saltwater - leaving your hair craving hydration and support.

Slow Down Shedding - Try the Twelve Scalp Cure which contains a synergy of Loquat, Yarrow Flowers & Maca Root, to boost hair growth while helping to reduce hair loss. Or the Agent Nateur Holi(Locks) this overnight topical strengthening & anti-fall serum is a treatment oil, not a styling oil.

Damage Control - The Less is More Pure Bond Complex offers intensive repair for damaged hair, it helps reseal and repair split hair fibres and helps restore the lipid layer.

Hydration & Shine - try a mask, we love the Rahua Hydration Hair Mask it helps maximise moisture retention. For shine try the Innersense I Create Shine which uses lightweight plant seed oils to lock in moisture, seal the cuticle to create shine.

As the seasons shift, it’s the ideal time to reassess your supplements. During autumn, two key concerns often arise: managing seasonal hair shedding and strengthening immunity in preparation for the cold and flu season. Here are some of our top recommendations to address these needs:

Healthy Hair - Try the Agent Nateur Holi(Mane) a combination of marine collagen & pearl powder support healthy hair (nails and skin too!). Prefer a capsule? Try the Wild Nutrition Complete Beauty Support - formulated to support healthy hair, skin & nails.

Immune Boosting - Vitamin D3 is our go to for Autumn after the sun soaked days have vanished. The NHS advise that adults take vitamin D from September to April when most people can’t get enough due to very little or no sunshine exposure. Try the spray from Bare Biology or the capsule from Wild Nutrition.
