Autumn is in full swing. And although the weather isn't always kind, nature delights us with color at every turn and inspires us to experiment with accessories in our wardrobe or try new makeup. Trends showcased at fashion shows offer clues as to which elements are worth trying on ourselves. Dark lips? Graphic eyeliner? Or perhaps a smoky eye in an unusual shade?
Makeup trends for fall are as follows:
Earth colors
Smoky eyelids in shades of brown, brown-gray, dark green, and off-black are a hit among makeup looks for the colder months. Paired with beige lipstick and peach blush, they can work well as a daytime look, while paired with burgundy lipstick, they're perfect for an evening party.
Dark lips
No surprise there either. Dark lips – cherry, burgundy, berry, or almost black – are back for another season in a row. And that's a good thing, because they add a truly feminine touch to makeup. And depending on the other elements and the lipstick finish, it can look sexy and fierce or elegant and classic.
Different variations on the smokey eye theme
Mixing colors and using unusual shades for a smokey eye are just a few examples of how to modify the classic, graphite-black, smoky eye makeup. What they all have in common is precision, especially in the application and blending of shadows, and a flawless complexion, as dark eyelids and dramatic eye contours highlight any skin imperfections.
Graphic line
A tried-and-true trend from last year. A bold line on the upper eyelid, right next to the lashes, a line in the crease, or a long line extending well beyond the eye contour – anything goes! Ideally, paired with a light, matte lip, full eyebrows, and defined cheekbones.
Brocade
Glittering dust is no longer reserved exclusively for Christmas and New Year's Eve. Glitter fans can smuggle it into their everyday makeup with impunity, for example, in the form of a subtle line just above the lashes or as a delicately shimmering blush. However, everything should be done in good taste, without any crazy colors or overdoing it. A small accent will brighten the eye and add radiance to the entire makeup look, without making it look tacky.
Matte & gloss
The skillful use of matte and shimmer is a hot trend this season. Matte eyelids paired with a glossy lipstick, or a wet-look eyeshadow paired with a satin lipstick, look elegant and intriguing. After all, opposites attract!
Autumn is also an inspiration for us, so we present three everyday makeup looks inspired by the current season.
Chocolate + mint makeup
A very simple yet striking makeup look thanks to the vibrant green. The upper and lower lids were shaded with Annabelle Minerals ' brown clay eyeshadow in Americano and a green mineral eyeshadow in Mint. This color combination complements any eye color: Americano will accentuate blue, gray, and green irises, while Mint will accentuate brown and hazel eyes. The finishing touch is a delicate line just above the well-coated upper lashes, applied with a darker shade from the Brow Like Wow eyebrow palette.
Makeup "Gray"
A gray, cloudy sky served as inspiration, and this look was created using the beautiful ash-gray mineral eyeshadowPlatinum paired with the light shade Vanilla . This "gray" is a more subtle variation on the smokey eye. Thanks to the heavily blended pigment on the upper and lower lids, the look is suitable even for everyday wear. For an evening look, you can add the black Smoky eyeshadow and apply it over a dark base (for example, using a soft black eyeliner).
"Caramel" makeup
"Caramel" is perfect for fans of warm, subtle eyeshadow tones. It will beautifully enhance green, gray, and blue irises and complement dark eyes beautifully, thanks to the chocolate liner on the upper lid. The eyeshadow's matte finish looks elegant, and in keeping with the fall "matte + shine" trend, it pairs beautifully with a shimmering blush or lipstick. The makeup is done with the Nougat mineral eyeshadow and the Chocolate eyeshadow (applied with a damp, angled eyeliner brush).
