Pumpkin Spice Blush: Fall’s Tastiest Beauty Trend

For many fall lovers like myself, the return of all things pumpkin spice is one of the most exciting days of the year. There’s nothing like that first sip of fall-flavored goodness. But why should the joys of pumpkin spice have to stop at your morning coffee?

Pumpkin spice blush is the beauty trend we predict will take over this fall season. We’ve already seen the transition to autumnal, auburn shades, with celebrities like Taylor Swift swapping her classic red lip for a muted orange. Orange shades are the perfect, subtle way to channel that fall energy into your makeup look. Ahead are the best shades to try out this autumn.
