If you're anything like us, the approach of Autumn has you lusting for a change. From darker lips to bolder lashes, we're all for remixing our beauty game to ring in the season. And what better way to dive face first into Fall than with a 21-day beauty calendar.

Every day for the next three weeks, we're presenting you with a fresh makeup idea to try, along with the cosmetic or skincare steals from Ulta Beauty you need to make it entirely your own. Whether you want to flaunt your hard-earned Summer tan or highlight your unique features, check back each day for a new look to help you express yourself and celebrate your love of makeup to the fullest.

Use the IT Cosmetics Brow Power Super Skinny to power full brows this Fall. When you combine them with matte skin and lips, they’re sure to steal all the attention while perfectly framing your features.

Creamy, pigmented berry lips are the perfect transitional look for Fall. The Buxom Plumpline Lip Liner will help you step up your autumnal lip game — and your confidence.

Give your cheeks a peachy glow after you prep your skin with Pür Primer. It helps even out everything else so your pretty blush can take center stage.

Play up the volume of your lips with this two-in-one duo! Use the Tarte Double Duty Beauty Lip Sculptor to add a pop of contour to the center of your lips.

Give your usual liner an edgy upgrade with the Too Faced Sketch Marker Liquid Liner. The fine tip allows you to take artistic liberties with your go-to cat eye and show off your creative streak.

Looking for a new take on contouring? Try using the Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette to chisel your cheeks for a more natural-looking flush.

Bring the wow factor with bigger, bolder lashes. Use multiple coats of the Benefit Roller Lash Super Curling and Lifting Mascara to make the spider-lash trend your own.

For fuller-looking lashes (and a cool twist on your liner), get in there with a liquid liner, like the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Liquid Eyeliner. Use the precision tip to apply dots right at the lash line between your lashes for bigger, brighter eyes.

The secret to full-on glitter lids? Eye shadow primer, like the Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease, to prep around your eyes and a hardworking makeup remover, like the Proactiv Makeup Cleansing Wipes, to instantly sweep away the excess sparkles that stray from your lids.

There's nothing like colorblock lips to bring out your inner vixen. Use the Stila Stay All Day MATTE'ificent Lipstick to achieve this so-cool-to-look-at lip effect.

You've never seen lashes like this before. For a thick, fluttery look, first use the Dermablend Loose Setting Powder and dust your lashes with a light layer. Then, follow up with the Smashbox X-Rated Mascara concentrated on the bottom half to create an asymmetrical look that is sure to wow.

Set up your skin for success with a color-correcting primer like the Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid. It helps brighten dull skin so you can easily achieve that all-over glow.

Don't stop at chiseled cheeks. Even your arches can use a touch of contour. The Anastasia Brow Powder Duo will help you define your look with natural highlights and lowlights.

To conquer red-carpet-worthy sculpted cheeks on your own, start with the IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation to achieve flawless-looking skin. Then use the IT Brushes for Ulta Airbrush Complexion Brush to help you nail a showstopping effect.

Treat your eye area with a sturdy concealer, like the BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector, before applying a hard-to-pull-off shade like pink. It will keep the shadow in place so you look fresh and feel confident all day long.

One color sometimes just isn't enough to express yourself! Colorblock your lids with bright eye shadow and liner in contrasting hues. Then finish it all off with the Stila Huge Extreme Lash Mascara for mega impact.

An oil-slick lid may seem intimidating, but the right tools can make the trend work for you. The LORAC Front of the Line PRO Eyeliner is super bendable so it allows you to get creative and customize the look according to your style.

Match your lips to your eyes with the season's It color. First, use the Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips to create a clean canvas for your lips before applying MAC Lipstick in Velvet Teddy. Then, dust your lids with a similar shade for a cohesive look.

Prolonging your tan through the Fall isn't hard when you have the right products. While you may think that exfoliating will scrub away your color, dead skin cells can actually make your complexion look duller and less glowing. A gentle exfoliation with the Clarins Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser will renew radiance. Then, use a touch of the Laura Gellar Balance-n-Brighten Baked Color Correcting Foundation for instant glow.

Throw out the rulebook and match bold lips with an equally bold smoky eye. Finish with a few swipes of an ultraglossy mascara, like this Tarte Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara, for added drama.

Give your brows a ride on the wild side by using Benefit ka-BROW Cream-Gel Eyebrow Color to help them look bold and feathery. Then, keep the rest of your look minimal and highlight bright, dewy, well-moisturized skin with the help of the Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum.
