Get ready to switch to the dark side!
It's about that time to put away the sandals and bright summer colors and swap for the boots and dark fall colors. It also is getting to be that time to restore your hair back to normal after a summer of drying chlorine, sun exposure and salt water. Our beauty advisors have just the tricks of the trade and the perfect hot fall essentials to transition you into the new season.
First thing's first: we need to restore that hair. Summer is filled with drying and damaging salt ocean water, chlorine filled pool water and worst of all, sun exposure. We have the perfect hair care routine to hydrate your hair back to normal.
Start by washing with Pureology's Hydrate shampoo to gently cleanse and moisturize very dry hair. With its sulfate free and vegan formula, hair color is protected and hair is instantly hydrated.
Condition with It's A 10's Potion 10 conditioner. Since it is a repairing conditioner, it will repair the summer damage while giving hair life and a great shine. Want to match your shampoo? Swap the Pureology Hydrate with the It’s A 10 Potion 10 shampoo instead.
Need to style your hair after washing? Use Wella EIMI's Perfect Me. Being a lightweight styling lotion it pampers your locks with moisture that helps repair your dry, stressed tresses, leaving them healthy with a high shine. Sebastian's StylBrid 9 is the perfect 9 in 1 styling tool. Air-dry for light movement and texture. Blow-dry for natural shine with hold. Ideal base for styles with hot tools. Mist over dry hair any time to define curls or refresh the style.
Next step is to get the nails in check. As sad it is to put away the bright pinks and corals, many fall collections will make you fall in love with fall!
OPI, Essie, and Zoya all have their own respective and flawless fall collections available at your local Beauty Plus Salon. Approved by our beauty advisors, here are our favorites from each collection:
OPI Venice Collection:
Amore At The Grand Canal- ravishing red
Gelato On My Mind- icy cool blue
Essie Fall Collection:
Frock & Roll- shimmering rich espresso
Bell Bottom Blues- intense midnight indigo
Zoya Focus & Flair Collection:
Giada- purple metal with a hint of fuchsia
Cinnamon- classic bronze metal
Last but not least, lets complete the fall transformation by adding new makeup to your collection. Dark lip and eye looks will take the place of light colored lips and eyes. Many celebrities have been seen out and about with darker, berry lips and brown toned shadows to compliment. Reminds us of the wine and chocolate combination! Our trusted beauty advisors recommend and love NYX's best selling Soft Matte Lip Creams for dark and matte look, especially in the most popular shades, Copenhagen (matte rich plum) and Transylvania (matte deep violet). Prefer lipsticks? We love NYX's Matte Lipsticks in Alabama (brick red) and Siren (deep violet), and Palladio's Herbal Lipsticks in Chianti (deep plum) or Wine Berry (deep burgundy). As for the eyes, pair any one of these lippies with NYX's Love in Paris eyeshadow palettes, or the Palladio Silk FX eyeshadow palettes. These super blendable eyeshadows allow you to create either a simple or dramatic look with light and dark color shadows. Remember, when doing a dramatic lip, go more neutral on the eyes.
