These 13 Cosy Autumn Beauty Buys Are So Gilmore Girls-Coded

At the strike of 1st September every year, I begin my annual re-watch of Gilmore Girls. Don't get me wrong, I adore summer. But, deep down I secretly crave the crisp air of autumn and the chance to dig out my knitwear and boots. An afternoon spent binge-watching this cosy show is my ideal way to spend my weekend hours—preferable wrapped in a blanket with an autumnal candle flickering while rain pitter-patters on the window. The series feels like it is perpetually suspended in the autumn months, and I'm so here for the aesthetic.

The Gilmore Girls Y2K style has often been dissected, but as a beauty editor, I often think about the beauty mood. What beauty products would you find in Lorelai and Rory Gilmore's bags to achieve their 'no-makeup' makeup looks? How do they get their glossy brunette hair so shiny? And what would be their signature perfume? My guess would be that Lorelai would 100% wear Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break (£60).

As we bid farewell to summer, a number of autumn beauty launches are landing on the beauty desk, and they feel *so* Gilmore Girls coded. As we prepare for the cooler months ahead, scroll below for both the best beauty for autumn, as well as the new beauty launch staples that I think the Gilmore girls would totally approve of in 2024.
