Pumpkin Inspired Beauty

by Megan Murray

Grab your latte, because pumpkin season has begun. This sweet and spicy season is the perfect time to surround your self with rich, bright, and on-trend colors of the upcoming fall harvest.

Here are some pumpkin inspired beauty ideas for this most delicious time!

Copper Eye Shadow

Copper lids are a hot beauty trend for Fall 2014. This versatile color can work as a light and airy wash, a cutting edge foiled eye look, or smoked out with a chocolate brown. There is a perfect copper tone for every eye-color. Brown eyes smolder with a rosier copper, blue eyes intensify with a golden copper, and green and hazel eyes sparkle next to a copper with deeper orange tones. For the color phobic, a bit of copper eyeliner under the waterline helps neutralize dark circles.

Tip: For an unexpected beauty look, pair copper eye shadow with a bold line of olive-green eyeliner under the water line.

The look has depth, dimension, and is a fashion-forward nod to the ‘90s.

Pumpkin Latte Lips

Add a little cream to this summer’s bright orange lipstick for a beautiful, flattering fall shade. While orange lipstick is tricky for those with cooler skin tones, a creamy orange with a hint of pink looks good on a wide range people. If you want to push the orange lipstick beauty trend to the limit, pair this season’s matte brown lipstick with a hint of orange shine.

Tip: Tame a bright orange lipstick with a gold gloss.

Professional Pumpkin Skin Treatment

Pumpkins don’t just belong in a window or in your coffee, pumpkin enzymes are great beauty boost for your face. A professional pumpkin treatment exfoliates the skin and can help repair some of the damage done during a carefree summer. As with any retexturing treatment, you need to speak with a beauty professional to get the right skin care products for you!

Tip: For a glow from within, eat Pumpkin Seeds. These little powerhouses are full of Vitamin E and Zinc, which are proven to promote clear, healthy skin!

Copper Balayge

This free form hair highlighting technique looks amazing with copper hues. A darker tone gives brown hair an earthy glow, while a lighter, brighter copper color gives blondes and redheads dimension.

Tip: Not ready for color? A light dusting of loose copper eye shadow will give your hair a crisp, autumn feel.

Orange Nail Art

If any season calls for whimsical nail art it is pumpkin season.  While jack-o lanterns and colored leaves are expected, take a cue from a 2014 Fall Fashion Trend and use stripes and geographic patterns to make nail art chic.

If the thought of adding pumpkin tones to your look leaves your chilly, never fear. Just add a bit of rust to your cooler tones for the upcoming season.

So, readers, what is your favorite pumpkin-inspired colors, flavors, and scents? Does pumpkin season leave you swooning or wishing for sunnier days? How do you plan to change up your makeup for fall?
