## Start of Fall
Guys. It’s about to be the start of fall, and I do not feel like my best self right now. I also realized I don’t think I’ve ever done a fall glow up before, which, like, I’m not sure why, but going into a new season is the perfect time to do something like this. And I also happen to be leaving for a trip tomorrow.
## New York Fashion Week
I’m going to New York Fashion Week. Stay tuned for that vlog, by the way. But I want to be looking and feeling my best, like my most confident self going into this season. So, here are all the things I’m going to be doing. I literally made a whole list in my notes, like, in the perfect order.
## Healthy Layer of Self-Tanner
We started things off last night. I feel like sometimes that’s the best way to do things. I did put on a nice, healthy layer of self-tanner cuz I always just feel like a little bit more confident when I have a nice tan glow to my skin. And I put some hair gloss in.
## Extra Great Effects
It says you can sleep in it for, like, extra great effects, so it is currently still in my hair right now. Let’s go get things started now with the everything shower. You know, that has to be first up. And it’s time to wash this hair.
## Neverthirsty Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner
For the shower, I’m starting with the new E.L.F. Neverthirsty Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner. These are so good. I’ve been loving them. The shampoo makes my hair feel clean without feeling stripped. It does not give me that squeaky feeling that I honestly hate.
## Hair Care Products
They both smell really nice, and the conditioner gives me just the right amount of hydration. By the way, guys, can you believe E.L.F. dropped hair care? So iconic. I’ve been using their hair care products for the past few weeks and loving them.
## My Hair Looks Pretty Amazing
I mean, as you can tell, I feel like my hair looks pretty amazing. And thank you so much to E.L.F. for sponsoring today’s video. Here’s my exact routine to achieve this hair because these products have worked surprisingly well for my frizz-prone wavy hair.
## Perfect Mix of Cleansing and Moisturizing
We’re starting in the shower with the Neverthirsty Moisturizing Shampoo. This shampoo is actually the perfect mix of cleansing and moisturizing. It’s not so hydrating that it makes your hair feel heavy with, like, a residue on it. It also smells really nice.
## Double Shampoo
I double shampoo and then follow up with the Neverthirsty conditioner. This conditioner is actually really hydrating, and it made my hair feel so soft even after the shower, like, without any products in it. I really felt like it detangled my hair so well.
## Humidity Hero
Out of the shower, we’re using the Humidity Hero. I’ve used, like, half this bottle already. I’ve literally been dousing my hair in this for the past month. This product changed my life.
## Sleek, Perfect Hair
I’ve never used, like, a humidity product for my hair before, and I can’t believe I haven’t. You apply this first thing out of the shower on damp hair, like, towel-dried hair, before any of your other products and blow dry it with tension.
That will give you, like, the sleek, perfect hair that has, like, a shield against humidity. It’s actually heat activated, so this really just helps control frizz, like, lock in your style. Then, for the curling and styling process, I’ve been using the 3-in-Wonder Magic Styling Cream.
## Bouncy, Flexible Hold
This stuff smells so nice, and it’s the perfect thing to just give you bouncy, flexible hold, which is, like, exactly what I want for a style like this. I don’t want my hair to be crunchy and crispy, but I don’t want it to be so soft and slippery that, like, it doesn’t even hold a style.
## Gloss Mode Treatment Oil
So, this is the perfect solution for that. And their Gloss Mode Treatment Oil. Okay, guys, this smells incredible. It’s kind of like warm cashmere scent. This actually offers heat protection up to 450°.
## Extra Moisture
So, I apply a few drops of this to, like, the ends of my hair before curling to make it extra shiny and then another, like, one or two drops after styling for just an added touch. And I will continue to apply a few drops of this everyday post-styling to just give my ends some extra moisture.
## Flyaways
And lastly, this cutest little thing. This is the 3-in-Wonder Magic Styling Cream Wand. It’s like mascara for your hair. I have so many little flyaways, and you can literally just, like, smooth them down instantly with this.
## My Hair Looks Incredible
And this is where we ended up. I truly feel like my hair looks incredible, and I’m so pleased with these products. I feel like you guys must try them, too. Especially this one.
## My New Bestie
This is my new bestie. I will have all of these products linked in my description so you can try them out for yourself. And if you guys do try these out, comment below which is your fave. I’m so curious to know.
## Body Care
For the body care, I did exfoliate my whole body last night before the self-tanner, but I am going over just, like, the extra dry areas or, honestly, the areas where I want to, like, blend the self-tanner with my skin a little bit better.
## Quick Shave
And then going in with my body wash. This one smells so sweet and, like, syrupy. It’s perfect for fall. And doing a quick shave. Even though I self-tanned last night and I shaved yesterday, I just want, like, the freshest shave possible, even if it shaves off a little bit of my tan.
## Everything Shower
Oh my goodness, guys. I feel so fresh. Like, I feel like I was just reborn. It’s the power of an everything shower. We’re doing a nice blowout today. I feel like I’ve been getting my blowout down.
## Blow-Dry Brush
Blowouts have never been my strong suit when I’m actually trying to, like, really blow dry my hair smooth. The thing that’s been working the best for me is an actual blow-dry brush. I feel like for textured hair, it’s kind of like the best thing if I’m not just doing, like, a rough blow-dry with, like, an actual blow dryer.
## Hair Done
I have one with this attachment, and I actually really like it because it’s not like a round brush. I can literally just, like, brush my hair out, and it doesn’t pull in my hair too much, but it gives tension, which really helps activate the humidity here.
And then we’re going to throw in a few curls, and we’ll finish off with some hair oil. It’s going to be so perfect. Okay, the hair is done. It’s feeling amazing. Time to do some skin care.
## Skin Refresh
I’m starting with a tiny bit of a physical exfoliant, which I only do occasionally, but because I want to do, like, a whole skin refresh, I want the smooth, softest skin, and it’s the perfect time to do something like this.
So, just gently massaging that in. Before I go on to the next step, I also do want to pluck my eyebrows. I really don’t do anything crazy. I just kind of find if they’re, like, a few hairs out of place, just tweeze them.
## Hydrating Milky Toner
Next is toner. I love, like, a hydrating milky toner, especially for after exfoliating. Like, just gives my skin that moisture back. And I make sure to use an acne-safe one cuz sometimes they can be a little heavy and make you break out.
## Vitamin C Serum
Then I’m doing a vitamin C serum for really glowy skin and fading things like dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Some eye cream. This is one of the ones with, like, growth factor in it. I think it’s supposed to, like, help plump up your under eyes and eye area.
## Gouacha
Feels so nice. And my moisturizer, lastly. And then I am going to just go in with my gouacha. And I kind of start on, like, the jaw area. Just do a quick little gouacha routine.
## Stainless Steel Ones
I love the stainless steel ones that are metal cuz they just feel so, like, cooling and nice. And then I move up to, like, the cheek area. And I’ll just do, like, 10 little strokes on each side. Not that I’m a pro at this or anything.
## Third Eye Point
This is just what I do. And then I love taking, like, this part of it and kind of putting it right here. Like, little acupressure in your eye area. It feels so nice. Kind of like helps if you have a headache.
And then I’ll do the same thing with my third eye point and kind of, like, massage it and just take a few deep breaths. Decompress a little bit. The forehead is my least favorite part to do a gouacha cuz I feel like her bone is just right there.
## Lip Oil
Like, I don’t like the feeling. You know what I mean? That kind of made my face red cuz it’s, like, bringing the blood flow to my face. But we’re going to finish it up with a little lip oil and a little lip massage with my favorite lip scrubber tool.
## Lip Scrub
It has these big bumps on one side and small little bristles on the other side. This one you use with a lip scrub, and this one you use just, like, with a lip product. So basically just massage it in.
## Skin Care Is Done
Helps exfoliate your lips, boost the blood flow, make them nice and plump and juicy. It’s almost like you’re brushing your teeth. And there we go. Skin care is done. My face feels very fresh. My lips feel kind of hot from all the blood rushing to them.
But I feel like my skin looks very glowy. So, mission accomplished. I’m trying to decide if I should do makeup or nails first. I feel like makeup because I might mess up my nails while I’m doing my makeup.
## Fall Makeup Look
So, I’m going to show you my, like, quick and easy but really pretty go-to fall makeup look lately. Starting with the E.L.F. Halo Glow Skin Tint. I have mine in the shade five. It’s very liquidy, as you can tell, but I really love the consistency of this, and I love that it’s a mineral SPF 50.
## Coverage and Shade Match
And the coverage and the shade match are honestly pretty amazing. I use a brush first and then a sponge to, like, smooth it out. Next, I’m using the Soft Glam Cream Bronzer. Mine’s in the shade light medium. And this is perfect for warming the face back up.
## Toasty Kind of Makeup Look
I really like that this isn’t too warm-toned, like, at all. And it blends out so nicely. It’s perfect for the, like, toasty kind of makeup look that I love to do in the fall. I’m going to add concealer to these places that I’m putting it right now.
## Berry Color
Just a little bit in, like, tasteful placements cuz I do like to keep the base on the lighter side and just let the skin care and that skin tint shine through. Then I have this blush tint. It’s this really beautiful berry color.
## Brows
And we’re going to apply some to the cheeks and, like, a little bit to the nose. I just love this color in the fall. And again, it actually blends out really nice even layering it, like, over top of other products.
Sometimes I feel like with those sort of water-based stains, you have to put them on first, but feel like this works. Set the base with some powder. For the brows, this E.L.F. Brow Lift Pencil has been my favorite for years.
## Silky Touch Highlighter
I actually get it in the blonde shade, which I feel works surprisingly well for my hair color. Like, it actually kind of matches my eyebrows. Using the E.L.F. Silky Touch Highlighter. Look at how beautiful that is. For a little added glow on the nose and inner corners.
## Champagne Showers
And I love this one cuz it’s such a fine shimmer. It doesn’t feel like chunky glittery. For the eyes, I have these two really gorgeous glitter eyeshadows from E.L.F. This one is the shade Champagne Showers, and this one is fine as fleck.
## Brown Eyeliner and Mascara
I’m going to use a mixture of both of them with this one kind of on the outer half of the lid and this one on the inner part. This one is going to be so good for the winter, like, snowy, icy makeup.
To finish up the eyes, I’m just going to add a little tiny brown wing. I love brown eyeliner and mascara anyway, but for fall, I feel like it’s just a little bit softer and it suits it really well.
## Lip Combos
And I even love taking a little bit to the inner corner. I feel like it’s a small touch, but, like, in the fall, I’m wanting that little extra something to my makeup. Top with some mascara.
Now, for the lips, I have a lot of fun with different lip combos in the fall. I feel like it’s the perfect time to lean into, like, a brown lip or, like, a berry lip. I have this lip liner marker from E.L.F. It’s a lip stain marker.
## Marvelous
This one’s in the shade Marvelous. I love lining my lips with this first. Kind of like feather it in as well. It’s so pretty. Then my favorite little Glow Revor lip oils. This one is so cute. It’s pink.
## Finished Makeup Look
I love doing a darker lip liner with, like, a lighter gloss in the center. And this one is spicy. It’s a plumping lip oil, but makes your lips look so good. And here is the finished makeup look.
## Little Fake Freckles
As a final touch, though, sometimes I like to add little fake freckles with, like, a brow marker. It’s just a cute final touch. But there we go. There’s the finished look. So glowy, bronzy, but in my opinion, it’s still perfect for everyday.
## Milky Pink
Okay, time for the nails. I was really contemplating which color I wanted to do. I’ve already been doing some fall colors. Like, I just had brown on my nails. I actually just painted my toes this color, which is a really, really dark brown.
Like, it almost looks black, but dark brown. So, my toes are this color right now. But I think I want to do milky pink for my nails just cuz I did, like, three dark colors back-to-back.
## Nails
Kind of craving just, like, a versatile cute milky pink. My nails are already prepped. They’re honestly pretty short right now. I feel like they keep breaking lately, which is so annoying. But when I have them painted, they’re much stronger because, like, the nail polish makes them thicker and kind of like less prone to breaking.
## Long-Wear Top Coat
So, this will be good to get this on my nails. And we’re going to do a long-wear top coat as well so that they fully stay on for my whole trip that I’m going to be on. We’re all done. Here’s the final look.
## Glowing and Confident
I’m feeling glowing and confident, to be honest. Like, I’m ready to take on the fall. I really hope you guys enjoyed coming along this little glow up with me and let me know what you’re doing to glow up for the fall.
