Back to school. Leaves changing. Temperatures dropping. Whatever your excuse, fall is the time to update your beauty-product stash. Here are the top new hair, makeup, and skin products.
BALENCIAGA PARIS FLORABOTANICA
Airy florals don’t usually stand up to autumn’s chill, but this youthful arrangement of rose, carnation, green caladium leaf, and mint is balanced by a warm, sensual base of vetiver and amber. (Available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus in September; nationwide in October)
CHANEL LE VERNIS NAIL COLOUR IN VERTIGO
This nearly shimmery brownish, grayish, taupe-ish shade is easier to wear than to describe—it’s the perfect alternative to the season’s dark burgundy or pitch-black nails.
LANCÔME GÉNIFIQUE YEUX LIGHT-PEARL EYE-ILLUMINATING YOUTH ACTIVATING CONCENTRATE
Known for its ability to stimulate genes that help repair the skin, this anti-aging formula has gotten a makeover. This new eye serum brightens dark circles, and its teardrop applicator is cooling on skin. (Available in August.)
YVES SAINT LAURENT LE TEINT TOUCHE ÉCLAT
Inspired by the cult brightening click-pen highlighter, this liquid foundation does the same for the face—illuminates drained complexions to create a natural glow. (Available in September.)
LIVING PROOF PRIME STYLE EXTENDER
This floral-scented white cream takes the idea of a setting lotion a step further: It holds styles for days, not hours—and keeps hair from attracting dirt. (Available starting September 15.)
REVLON MIDNIGHT EXPRESS EYE SHADOW PALETTE
Sultry evening eyes are a cinch with this all-in-one eye palette—alongside the basics (shimmery pearl, bone,and matte black) are khaki green, glittering bronze, and deep aubergine cream-to-powder shadows. (Available starting October 1.)
OPI JAMES BOND COLLECTION
We’re not sure how a spy movie inspires nail-polish colors, but when the shades are this great, we don’t care. The collection features sleek metallics, elegant darks, and glitter topcoats. Snatch up GoldenEye (glittery gold) and Skyfall (deep maroon). (Available starting October 1.)
LA MER THE MOISTURIZING SOFT CREAM
For those who find the richness of the original Crème de La Mer oppressive, this cream is lighter but just as luxurious. It leaves it hydrated and glow-y (and makes your vanity look a thousand times fancier). (Available in September.)
MAYBELLINE NEW YORK GREAT LASH COLOR COLLECTION
Just when you thought this award-winning mascara couldn’t make your lashes look any more dramatic, their new shades add a trendy pop of color. Swipe on one coat of the blue, teal, purple, or green mascara for a subtle effect, or layer it on for truly Technicolor lashes.
JO MALONE LONDON BLACKBERRY & BAY COLOGNE
Instead of diving right into heady (read: heavy) fall fragrances, hold onto summer a little bit longer with this blend of blackberry, zesty grapefruit, and earthy bay leaves grounded in rich vetiver. (Available in September.)

SHISEIDO MAKEUP LACQUER ROUGE IN DRAMA
This full-bodied red liquid lipstick is like capturing old Hollywood glamour in a tube. The liquid formula has a supershiny finish, and stays on for hours without flaking or feathering. (Available in August.)
MALIN + GOETZ GLYCOLIC ACID PADS
Peels can leave skin red, raw, and well, peeling—but these at-home textured pads coddle sensitive skin. Saturated with 10 percent glycolic acid, they buff away blah complexions in just one swipe. (Available in August.)
