Fall Beauty Essentials
Fall is a season of transition, and your beauty routine should reflect it. The sun fades, the air sharpens, and skin, scent, and mood call for a shift in texture, tone, and care. At Currant, we’ve curated an edit of beauty essentials designed to carry you through the season: skincare that restores, makeup that deepens, fragrances that anchor. This isn’t about replacing everything on your shelf — it’s about choosing what matters, and what makes the season feel intentional.
Palettes:
Brown & deep red (with Armani Beauty)

Armani Beauty: brown & deep red
There’s something about autumn light that makes brown and burgundy come alive. They mirror the season’s warmth — golden afternoons, crisp air, the shift toward deeper tones. For fall, make your skin glow naturally with the Neo Nude Skin Tint, lifted with a flush of Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in warm terracotta. Eyes are defined with Eye Tint Matte, in shades of taupe or oxblood that add just the right depth, framed by bold lashes from Eccentrico Mascara. On the lips, Lip Power in a deep burgundy delivers that polished finish — rich, confident, and timeless.
Complete it with the final, invisible accessory. Choose Armani Sì for a touch of understated sensuality, or Armani Privé Cuir Nu (read about it here) for something moodier and more textured: leather, skin, and smoke in perfect harmony. Together, they define autumn beauty — refined, tonal, and quietly powerful.

Blue & black
This look is about power and softness, light and control. Using the Chanel’s Les 4 Ombres Boutons (read about it here) in Boutons Stellaire, eyes are painted in celestial tones of deep blue shimmer. The palette’s cool luminosity turns shadow into structure, making the gaze both modern and timeless.
To balance the intensity, MAC’s Skinfinish in Lightstruck catches the high points of the face, giving a subtle, glassy radiance that feels lit from within. A sweep of MAC Mineralize Blush adds quiet warmth to the cheeks, softening the geometry of the look without compromising its strength.
On the lips, Charlotte Tilbury’s Life-Changing Lip Mask preps the base for Gucci Rouge à Lèvres in Black, a high-shine lacquer that redefines elegance — bold, mysterious, and unapologetically sensual. The final touch: Valentino Born in Roma, a floral-amber scent that completes the look with depth and confidence. The result is nocturnal and commanding — a modern reinterpretation of power beauty.

Hermès: purple & orange red
This look is pure architecture — sculpted, refined, and deliberate. Even out the complexion with Hermès Plein Air, leaving skin luminous yet structured, finished with a sweep of Rose Hermès Blush that enhances natural contour rather than softens it.
Eyes take centre stage through the new Ombres d’Hermès 12 Ombres Optiques Palette — a harmony of iridescent purples that evoke a shadowy play. Lashes are defined with Hermès Mascara, creating contrast against a minimal brow. On the lips, Rouge Hermès in a sculptural orange red becomes the statement — bold, modern, and unmistakably Parisian.
To complete the ritual, a touch of Hermès Barénia Intense adds depth — leather, oakwood, and butterfly lily unfolding like silk over skin.

Emerald & brick red
This look is a study in contrasts — light diffusion meets architectural definition. The base begins with Laura Mercier’s Real Flawless Feather Matte Foundation, giving skin that perfect equilibrium: weightless yet polished. Add Laura Mercier’s Loose Powder to set the complexion or for an extra matte look. The eyes, defined with Laura Mercier’s Caviar Eyeshadow Stick for a metallic wash, and softened by MAC’s Dazzleshadow for a hint of iridescence that catches the light without overpowering it.
On the lips, MAC’s Macximal Sleek Satin Lipstick delivers a burnished brick-red finish — modern, precise, and mood-setting. Complete it with Miu Miu’s Miutine, a perfume that brings brightness and mischief to the mix, adding that final spark of personality.
