Fresh Faces: Start out with beautiful skin - always in season!  This season it's all about achieving an "immaculate complexion." From blasting breakouts to fighting fine lines, ULTA will help you achieve flawless skin, which is the perfect foundation for fall.

MicroZone Rapid Spot Clearing®: Clears:  Zone specific breakout

Blackhead Relief MicroZone®: Relieves:  Breakouts, Congestion, Oily shine

Lip Renewal MicroZone®: Soothes:  Dry, rough, chapped lips

Animal Prints: Follow your animal instinct and embrace exotic prints this fall. From animal-inspired nails - hand-painted or created with new nail transfers that come in a wide array of colors and patterns - to shades of neutral and brown on cheeks, eyes, lips or nails, the wild kingdom is leading the charge.

Get the Look

Eyes: NYX, Special Effects Lashes-Poignant, 9.99

Cheeks: Bare Escentuals, Bare Minerals Blush, $19

Lips: Lorac, Co-Stars Lip Color, $20

Nails: Sally Hansen, Crackle Overcoat, $6.99

Blue Hues: Make a bold statement in cobalt, which is all the rage this fall, especially for eyes and nails. To add drama, apply an opaque layer of cobalt shadow to upper lids. Finish off with a sweep of color along the lower lash line and a coat of black mascara. For just a touch of the bluesy hue, add it to your nail polish lineup for the season. Ranging from bright and vibrant to deep and sultry, this jewel-tone is sure to turn heads.

Eyes: Cargo, The Color Palette, $28

Nails: Nicole by OPI, It's Up To You, $7.99

Metallics: Pack a punch of shimmer this season as sparkling silvers and glowing golds are heading straight from the runways into cosmetic bags. Whether dusting a light layer of shine or applying a dense layer of sparkle, metallic nails, eye shadow and eyeliner will update your look with a dramatic pop.  

Get the Look

Eyes: Lorac, Sparkle Pencil, $18

Body: Tarte, Celebutante Dry Oil Shimmer, $34.00

Lips: Smashbox, Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss, $22

Nails: ULTA, Glitter Topcoat, $6

Lush Lashes: Bold lashes are an absolute a must-have this fall. With more mascara choices than ever before (lengthening, long-wearing and curling, oh my!) you can achieve endless looks. For an uber-bold look add a few false lashes, available in a variety of styles.

Get the Look

Fusion Beauty, Stimulash Lash Enhancing & Lengthening Mascara, $28

Cargo, Better-Than-Waterproof Mascara, $20.00

Lorac, Multiplex 3D Lashes Volumizing and Thickening Mascara, $22

Big Hair: Big hair is back! Inspired by retro styles from the 70s and 80s, it is the-bigger-the-better when it comes to your hair this fall. To achieve this bold look, use volumizing shampoos, conditioners, mousse and hairspray.  Applied at the base of the roots, products lift the hair away from the head to create the big hair look while still leaving the rest of the hair to swing and shine.  

For curly-haired beauties looking to tame their tresses, KeraStraight and Curlinterupted Smoothing System, both of which are used by ULTA salon stylists, create sleek-and smooth strands that last for months without daily upkeep. And remember, if your locks start to go limp, use a dry shampoo to re-volumize.

Dry shampoo: Oscar Blandi, Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray, $23

Conditioner: John Frieda, Luxurious Volume Full Splendor Conditioner, $5.99
