Some fantastic, easy-to-use makeup items can transition you smoothly from summer into fall.

Anyone else still feel like a new school year is starting?
Now, let’s talk makeup! These products are some of the latest launches and make lovely additions to your collection. They’re mostly fuss-free, except for one pesky eyeshadow cap. Highlights include a fantastic tinted sunscreen that could double as a light foundation and a cream bronzer that gives your skin a beautifully blended glow.

Ultra Violette Dream Screen Tinted Veil:
This tinted sunscreen might be the year’s best beauty launch. It offers sheer coverage with SPF50, protecting against UVA and UVB rays, and comes in various shades. It’s easy to apply without looking heavy, and you won’t need an extra moisturizer. It’s perfect for an all-in-one product with sun protection. It’s available at Space NK for £38.
Charlotte Tilbury Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer:
If you prefer a naturally sun-kissed look rather than an overtly bronzed one, this new bronzer is worth considering. Priced similarly to Chanel’s Les Beiges but offering four shades instead of two, it provides a soft-focus finish that blends seamlessly with your makeup. It feels sophisticated and can be built up for more intensity.
Jones Road Shimmer Face Oil in Midas:
This highlighter is perfect for a summery, radiant look, though it might not suit those with oily or combination skin. If you enjoy a sheeny makeup finish that looks natural and flexible, you’ll love this. It’s more like a luxury body oil, with a divine scent and a handy pump bottle. The Midas shade has a warmth ideal for summer.
RMS Beauty Eyelight Cream Shadow in Flare:
A great choice for a summer-to-autumn transition, this cream eyeshadow blends beautifully. The tube’s small cap can be tricky, but the product lasts ages even with daily use. The “Flare” shade offers the right mix of warmth and shimmer, allowing for an easy one-shadow eye look.
Victoria Beckham Posh Gloss in Bungalow:
The shade name Bungalow might sound unglamorous, but the color is a lovely, subtle pink with a hint of neutrality. The gloss is less sticky than usual, keeping its sheen for hours without attracting unwanted attention from tiny insects. It’s perfect for gloss lovers who dislike excessive stickiness.
