As the weather changes, products from Benefit Cosmetics will have you looking autumn fabulous.
Ah, autumn – the season of crunchy leaves, cosy sweaters and pumpkin-spiced everything.
At least, that’s the fantasy.
Here in the Middle East, we’re still sweating under the sun while pretending it’s a brisk autumn day with our hot lattes (and I do mean hot – it’s 35° Celsius, and we’re in boots). But hey, who says we can’t channel autumn vibes through our beauty routines, even if actual sweater weather is a distant dream?
This is where Benefit Cosmetics comes to the rescue, helping us fake those moody autumn looks without melting in the heat. Grab your iced pumpkin spice (because let’s be real) and let’s talk products that will have you looking autumn fabulous, regardless of the desert temps.
Brows That Stay – And Slay
Nothing screams ‘autumn chic’ like bold brows and Benefit has mastered the art of the arch.
Start with the Precisely, My Brow Pencil – this bad boy can give you the definition of a maple leaf but without the fall-out (pun intended).
The fine tip ensures your brows are full yet natural, so no one will know you’re faking that “I woke up like this” autumn goddess look.
Pair it with the 24-HR Brow Setter, because even though the weather won’t cooperate with your seasonal fantasies, your brows will stay perfectly in place from the morning coffee run to that late-night rooftop dinner. (Yes, rooftop dinners are still a thing, and no, we don’t care about the heat.)
Cheeks on Fire – Minus the Heatstroke
Benefit’s Hoola Matte Bronzer is the secret to that warm, “I just spent the day apple-picking” glow, even if you’ve never seen an apple orchard.
Use it to subtly contour or give your face a touch of warmth that suggests crisp autumn air – without the frostbite. Layer it with a little Terra Golden Brick-Red Blush for that natural flush, like you just took a brisk walk … from the car to the mall.
Lashes for Days (And Nights)
Nothing says ‘autumn romance’ like fluttery lashes and Benefit’s They’re Real! Magnet Mascara is your go-to for this.
The magnetic formula lifts and lengthens like a pro, making your lashes look like they’re ready to bat in the autumn breeze (or, more realistically, against the draught from the air conditioner). It’s all the drama you need without any of the smudging that usually comes with our lovely humidity.
Pore-fectly Matte for Sweater Weather (… If Only)
We may not be layering cosy knits, but at least our skin can be free from shine, thanks to the Porefessional Matte Primer.
This gel-based primer not only smooths out your skin but also keeps that midday shine at bay, making it easier to pretend you’re frolicking in a leaf pile instead of dashing to your car under the blazing sun.
Glossy & Dewy Lips for That Fresh Autumn Glow
No autumn look is complete without the perfect pout, and Benefit’s Splashtint Fresh Squeezed Lip Tint is here to give you that effortlessly dewy finish.
Think of it as the autumn version of a cosy scarf for your lips – hydrating, lightweight and perfect for sipping your iced pumpkin spice. The sheer, glossy tint adds a pop of colour that screams autumn freshness, without the sticky drama of a heavy lipstick.
So there you have it, autumn enthusiasts. Even if the weather isn’t cooperating, you can still step into autumn with Benefit Cosmetics. Let’s face it: we’re going to be drinking our pumpkin spice and wearing our boots whether the thermometer agrees or not – might as well look the part too!
