Lipstick League Question of the Week:
How does your makeup routine change from summer to fall?
G's answer: Since I have such oily skin regardless of temperature, my foundation/concealer/powder combo really doesn't change too much throughout the year, but in the fall I start to wear more of my blushes that don't seem to survive as well in the heat of summer. I also love wearing deeper reds and berry shades on my lips, as well as matte lipsticks, which I don't usually wear in the summertime. As for eyes, I pretty much wear whatever colors I love all year around, so that doesn't change much. One thing I love about heading into fall is that I feel like my beloved earthtones are back "in style" again and the pastels, brights and neons of summer, that don't usually work for my coloring, are less present in drugstores for a while. It's "my" time again. Yay!

How does your makeup routine change from summer to fall?
I feel your pain re: the pastels. I have super pale skin and super dark hair. Pastels make me look sad and out of place, like Morticia standing in that frou-frou nursery in Addams Family Values.
