The cold-weather season is here, and with it comes a new beauty regimen. If you’ve exhausted that summery beachy look for far too long, now’s the time to make the switch to a darker lip, smokey multi-tone eye, and contoured visage with these all-in-one kits that make getting ready (and traveling without your entire makeup bag) a cinch.
Charlotte Tilbury Instant Eye Palette
You get basically every pigment one could possibly need to create some major lewks along the lines of “day eye,” “desk eye,” date eye,” and “disco eye.” From matte taupe and shimmering bronze, to pink champagne and caramel, this palette is the next best thing to having MUA Charlotte Tilbury at your beck and call.NARS The Veil Cheek Palette
$49): This buildable trio contours, highlights, and pops thanks to a bronzer with golden shimmer, a satin watermelon blush, and a glistening rose highlighter. Plus it’s super glam, don’t cha think?NYX The Plums Pro Lip Cream Palette
Nothing says fall quite like a dark lip, and NYX’s palette has six blue-toned pink, wine, bitten berry, and ripe plum swatches to help you achieve a flawless one.Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Palette
The best thing about these 12 matte shades of warm corals, buttery creams, and rich browns is that they’re infused with fragrant peach and sweet fig cream, so they smell just as good as they look.Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 3
Finding your light has never been easier, courtesy of Hourglass’ Ambient Edit #3. Available exclusively this season, each of the six squares is infused with the brand’s “Photoluminescent Technology” for skin that appears softer, younger, and lit-from-within. Raise your hand if you want that type of glow. (*raises hand*)6.

Tarte Blush Bazaar Amazonian Clay Blush Palette
Tarte’s compact palette holds eight blushes and two highlighters in a gorgeous mix of warm and cool hues, but the best part is they’re all formulated with their signature Amazonian clay for long wear. Because who likes reapplying come happy hour time?Pat McGrath Labs Mothership III Eyeshadow Palette in Subversive

Stowaway’s triple milled Italian pigments make mastering the smoke-show look easy AF.
