Pumpkin Spice Latte Look

When you think of fall, what comes to mind? Pumpkin spice lattes, of course! They pop up everywhere come Autumn, and they have inspired a makeup trend that's as delicious as it sounds.

Abstract Blue "Pops of Color" 

Adding a pop of color to your fall makeup can be a fun way to stand out. In 2023, blue is the "it" color for this purpose. This trend involves using shades of blue to create a captivating and unexpected focal point in your eyes.

You can also use blue eyeliner on your lower lash line for an extra pop. Keep the rest of your makeup understated with nude lips and soft blush, allowing the blue to steal the show.

For those who prefer a more understated and natural look, minimal makeup is the way to go this fall.
