103 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com When greens fade to yellows, oranges and even chocolate browns, summer has officially turned a leaf. Temperatures begin to dip, and porches are decorated with pumpkins and mums. Our coffee order switches to pumpkin spice everything, and Saturdays are deemed family football days. We’ve made it. Fall has arrived. With a new season comes new beauty trends and routines, everything from olive-toned smoky eyes to effortless low buns. We talked with style experts right here in Mount Pleasant to give us an overview of how we can transition our beauty style to match the season. Bev Murphy, owner of Beauti Basics, has worked in the beauty industry for over 31 years and is a wealth of information for women in the Lowcountry. Her passion is helping women feel and look their best every single day, so transitioning seasons is right in her wheelhouse. “Fall in Charleston is all about effortless sophistication, with makeup and hair that reflect the warmth of the season,” Murphy enthused. First things first, let’s talk about foundation. Murphy noted that “we are trading our high-glow finish for a smooth, breathable coverage” this fall. For our cheeks, “Sculpt and soften with a combination of warm bronzer and a pop of fall rose or mauve.” She described the fall eye look as being olive-tinted or even timeless neutrals and browns. Murphy also mentioned that eyes and lips will feature a “blurred or smudged” look this season. Instead of chiseled eyeliner, opt for “undereye liner in fun colors like olive, brown and plum ... gently smudged.” The same thing goes for our lips. Look for colors like “rusted rose, black cherry, muted brick red and rusted nude,” and apply with a gentle, smudged liner for a perfect autumn pout. Finishing our look with a stylish ‘do’ is always a must. Murphy gives us two looks to try this fall: “Polished waves with textured layers. And sleek, low buns and ponytails.” Murphy shared one final tip: “The biggest fall colors are chocolate brown and burgundy.” Colors are literally the name of the game when it comes to House of Colour South Mt. Pleasant, where local resident Katie Heatherington provides color and style analysis to help you makeover your look one color at a time. “If you have had a color analysis you know what a gamechanger it is. First off, it is an instant confidence boost because wearing your season’s best shades makes your skin glow and your eyes pop,” said Heatherington. If you’re investing in a true makeover this fall, choosing clothes that match your skin tone and facial features is critical, and starting with a color analysis can save you time and money in the long run. “A color analysis is where a client will arrive makeup free and I lay different colored drapes on them,” explained Heatherington. “I am looking at the undertones of their skin to determine which season is Fall Makeovers Falling in love with the right fit BY KATIE FINCH health & wellness Bev Murphy, owner of Beauti Basics.
