I love Laura Mercier’s tinted moisturizer in the summer. The color is great and it has just the right amount of coverage. But when fall hits, I need to go a little heavier, so I mix in the Smooth Fluide foundation (for day). For night, it’s all foundation all the time. Laura Mercier’s an expert at matching skin tones. — Amina Akhtar, Editorial Director
Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide, $48 at Sephora.com

I was in Milan earlier this summer and ran into the publisher of Madame Figaro at a party. I didn't know who she was at the time. All I knew is that she wore the most beautiful perfume I had ever smelled. "You don't know Le Labo's Gaiac 10, darling? You must!" She was right. It's pricey, but worth the investment. — Maria Denardo, Fashion Director
Le Labo Gaiac 10 (Tokyo) 1.7 oz, $116 at Lelabofragrances.com

This fall will be the season I get as close to having Cara Delevingne's eyebrows as my body will allow. And I've got Wink's All-Natural Eyelash & Eyebrow Enhancer to help me. Packed with castor (which stimulates hair growth), emu and raspberry oils, I slather my brows and lash line with the serum up to twice a day. I've been using it for about two and a half weeks, and it's working like a charm. Cara D, I'm coming for your spot! — Jihan Forbes, Staff Writer

Starting in September, I always dig out my Air-O-Swiss humidifier and start using heavier moisturizers like this Clarins one. As the fall progresses and the air gets increasingly dry, I also make sure to exfoliate at least every other day. — Sharon Feiereisen, Lifestyle Editor

I didn't know how well my hair could hold a curl pattern until I used Jane Carter Solution's Curl Defining Cream. I work some into my hair after a shower, and when it's done drying, I have a mane of curls and waves I cannot stop playing with. Plus, it smells really great and doesn't leave your tresses feeling greasy — it's been a lifesaver for me. I'm growing out my relaxed hair and this allows me to camouflage the dueling textures quite nicely. — Jihan Forbes, Staff Writer
Jane Carter Solution Curl Defining Cream, $14.99 at Target.com

Fall gives me an excuse to purchase dark shades of eyeliner besides black. They're a great way to have fun with color, but still appropriate enough to wear to work. My favorite is this shade of smoky green that I layer on top of my brown eyeliner. — Adrianna Barrionuevo, Beauty Editor
Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil in Cult, $20 at Sephora.com
