I'm Envisioning a Vampy Girl Autumn: The 11 Makeup Products I'm Eager to Use

      Now that the air has officially turned crisp, Wednesday Part 2 has launched on Netflix, and my local Trader Joe's has transformed into a pumpkin spice haven, it's time to unveil those hollow-eyed, berry-stained makeup looks. (Unless you've already embraced your spring/summer goth aesthetic.) Personally, I've been yearning for the days when my sun-soaked, dewy glow would yield to velvety skin tints, radiant powders, and soft-blurred lips, and I've been hoarding the much-anticipated fall releases that truly understand the vibe. From a matte primer that gives my skin a cashmere-like feel to a silky, peacock-green eyeshadow that made me gasp on the first sight (true story!) to the plum lipstick I reach for as soon as September arrives—here are the 11 products I'm eyeing for a fabulous, vampy fall. After all, 'tis the season.

      My Top Vampy Makeup Essentials for Fall 2025

      Sisley-Paris

      Phyto-Teint Matte Primer

      I've tried numerous primers, but I didn't fully appreciate how flawlessly they can make your skin look until I experimented with this Sisley Paris formula. It smooths out imperfections right upon application, masking areas of discoloration and uneven texture with a blurring effect—and that's before any foundation goes on. I’ve been wearing it on its own on no-makeup days just to enhance my complexion slightly, but trust me, it effortlessly turns any product layered over it into a second skin. For me, it’s an essential for a soft-blurred glam look.

      Victoria Beckham Beauty

      The Foundation Drops

      I've raved about Victoria Beckham's first foundation before, but let me express my admiration for these drops just a bit more. The featherlight formula! The unexpectedly impressive longevity! And that satin skin finish? Just wow. Beckham truly excelled with this launch. I'm eagerly waiting to pair this medium-coverage foundation with a swipe of VBB's richly pigmented eyeliner—especially this deep fig shade.

      Hermès

      Ombres D'hermès Eye Shadow Quartet

      I literally gasped when I first saw this gorgeous Hermès eyeshadow palette. The limited-edition compact is a work of art, and the four "almost nocturnal shades" (as Hermès Beauty's creative director Gregoris Pyrpylis elegantly describes them) are practically begging to be worn after dark. I'll be adorning my eyelids with that stunning peacock green for the foreseeable future, thank you very much!

      Prada Beauty

      Monochrome Hyper Matte Refillable Lipstick in P57 Ultraviolet

      This matte lipstick isn't brand new, but it’s one I genuinely crave when the weather cools down. The rich purple shade is nothing short of remarkable. While it may appear a bit intimidating in the tube, trust me—it applies like a dream and gives the perfect vampy lip. Plus, the triangle shape allows you to define your Cupid’s bow with precision.

      Dries Van Noten

      Satin Lipstick Refill in Bohemian Scarlett

      Another exquisite pigment I've been constantly wearing is this Dries Van Noten shade, which is my go-to when I want a buttery, satin finish instead of something more matte. I recommend it to anyone looking for beauty gift ideas since it comes in a beautiful printed case perfect for display on your vanity. And as for the shade, I dare you not to swoon at the mention of "Bohemian Scarlett."

      Kosas

      Soulgazer Lengthening Mascara

      I typically skip mascara during the summer months when humidity is high and "raccoon eyes" are a real concern. However, I can't wait to achieve sky-high lashes this fall and beyond. Kosas's new mascara is perfect for this, as its lengthening formula also includes a lash-enhancing peptide serum that encourages growth in just six weeks. My favorite aspect is that this inky formula doesn’t clump, even as I layer on multiple coats.

      Dior

      Diorshow 5 Couleurs Limited Edition Eye Makeup Palette

      If your fall beauty vibe leans more toward punk rock than vamp, I highly suggest grabbing this limited-edition eyeshadow palette while you can. These color combinations scream "elevated grunge," as the jet-black beautifully contrasts with rose gold, pearly white, pale green, and satin pink shades. It has a very Mary-Kate Olsen vibe, who, according to celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff, used to favor a rock 'n' roll look.

      PAT McGRATH LABS

      Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Blurring Under Eye Powder

      Though not new, this product has become a fall must-have. This viral baby-pink powder brightens under-eye areas, neutralizes dull discoloration, and blurs surfaces without settling into fine lines. Plus, it gives the skin an overall radiance that adds dimension to soft-matte looks without leaving you looking glittery.
