There are certain categories in makeup, manicure, and fashion where you can allow for variation. Trends are there to inspire you. You don't have to copy runway designs exactly. Let's see what's trending in the upcoming fall/winter season.

Makeup trends for autumn and winter 2017/2018

Gold and silver on the eyelids

Most of us probably have gold and silver eyeshadow. It's one of the trends for the upcoming fall and winter. One color replaces all makeup and shading. The makeup is quick and easy to create. Use highlighters: the gold Royal Glow or the beige Diamond Glow . Simply apply them with your finger and blend them gently. You can also draw a graphic line to make the makeup more expressive.

Colorful makeup – blue eyeshadows

These colors are primarily associated with summer and vacations, but this time, designers have also incorporated them into autumn and winter looks. This type of makeup, combined with an interesting styling, doesn't have to be controversial. Blue eyeshadow has long been considered tacky. If your eyes have brown irises, check out this makeup look. Blue and navy eyeshadows will accentuate this color.

Smokey eyes

If colorful, silver, and gold eye makeup looks aren't your thing, smokey eyes are back in vogue this fall and winter. They can be created with matte black eyeshadow. If you like to play with makeup, in addition to black on the eyelids, you can also use shimmering gold, silver, or burgundy eyeshadows. Makeup is fun, and you can easily combine trends.

Red lips

This trend has been repeating itself for another season. The hottest colors, in addition to classic reds, include cherry, plum, and coral shades. Importantly, lips this fall won't be matte. The biggest hits are... metallic lipsticks.

The matte lipsticks we love are being replaced by creamy, satin, pearly, and metallic finishes. The latter are a real hit this fall. You can also layer a highly shimmering, mirror-effect, or metallic lip gloss over your favorite lipstick.

Natural makeup?

No-makeup makeup and a radiant look are still in style. All you need to do is even out your skin tone, delicately define your eyebrows, apply mascara, and lightly touch up your skin with blush and highlighter.
