When it comes to modern beauty and fashion trends, the ball is constantly rolling! Rarely do we see the same looks lasting more than a single season! But with that said, here are some of the top makeup trends we’re looking forward to this fall.
Neutral Tones

There’s something so pretty about neutral makeup that makes it the perfect look year-round, but this soft look works especially well during the fall. Neutral makeup can be as complex or subtle as you like: You can do a light wash of color across the lids or go all out with multiple shadows. Since this look is fairly understated, it’s important to have a good base routine down (primer, foundation, concealer, and brows) so you look clean and fresh.
For warmer skin tones, go for browns and tans, focusing on the hollows of the eyes and up toward the brow bone. For cooler skin tones, try wearing shades of gray, which will offer the look of contour without appearing muddy.
Lived-In Makeup

Kind of calculated, kind of spontaneous, the lived-in makeup look is well on its way to being the style of choice for cool girls this fall (think: Angelina Jolie’s character in Girl, Interrupted, just a little more high fashion). The key to this look is not to overthink it. Skip the liquid liner, which leaves sharp lines, and use a gel or crayon liner that can be easily smudged. Concentrate the color onto the lash lines and blend with a pencil brush. Keep the look smoky, and if you want to make your eyes stand out even more, go ahead and tightline them.
For an extra-vampy touch, use that same brush to introduce a berry color to the lower lash line, then tap a lipstick in a similar shade along the lips for a flushed look.
Graphic Eyeliner

We saw graphic liner have its moment during the Euphoria craze that ensued earlier this year, but don’t be surprised to see the trend coming back even stronger once the leaves start falling. For style inspo, look no further than the trailblazer herself: Jennie from the K-pop musical group Blackpink, known for sporting makeup looks consisting of electric-colored eyeliners and bright shadows.
Since this look is so bold, we recommend pairing it with a nude, glossy lip color to keep the focus on your eyes – especially if you’re going bold with a blue, red, or pink liner!
