Every fall, once the temperatures begin to drop and the movie selection slowly begins to improve, we become inundated with pumpkin-themed everything. There’s the infamous pumpkin spice latte. There are pumpkin-flavored soaps, pumpkin-scented candles, pumpkin breads, pumpkin beers… anything you can eat, drink, sniff or slather on yourselfgets that spicy-sweet makeover. And Pinterest? Let’s call itPumpkin-terest.Home decor even gets an autumnal makeover, because who can forget:it’s decorative gourd season, motherf-ckers.It’sthe seasonal signifier of basic bitches everywhere. And then of course there are the think pieces defending it. We’re already exhausted (and a little bit hungry) just from summarizing it! This was all to say that it shouldn’t be surprising that pumpkinification has creeped into the world of cosmetics. Pumpkin spice hair and pumpkin spice latte manicuresare now fall trends. All you have to do is search #pumpkinspicehair on Instagram and you’ll find plenty of orange and auburn-streaked hair selfies.
Basically (pun intended), “pumpkin spice hair” is a catchall for the whole spectrum of orange and red hues that hair can take on. We’d argue the following looks more like a sunset than a Starbucks drink:
This one definitely looks classically pumpkin, color-wise, and pretty elegant. Jessica Chastain vibes?
And this look is very fall foliage.
As for pumpkin spice manicures, anybody can paint their nails orange and call it a day, but for next level s—t, no one takes the pumpkin-flavored cake like Instagram user @twi_star, a nail artist whoused actual pumpkin spice to create “100% real pumpkin pie spice latte nails.” Whoa.
What do you think? Will you let pumpkin literally go to your head (and fingers) this season?
