Fall is about changes and this is true this year in makeup and beauty trends.
One dramatic trend is really dark and bold lipsticks. Lipstick colors are leaning to the very darkest end of the spectrum. Not just dark red, but nearly black. Adding a dark lip that has lots of shine does tone it down a bit. The reds are still around, just super dark. A fully lined lip is where its at this season.
Eyeliners are black, black and more black. Liner is pretty freestyle this year as well. You will see really heavy lines, and more of a light touch as well. Wings are still popular, just bolder in general. It is anything goes with black eyeliner this Fall.
Another trend that continues is glitter, but it has become more sophisticated. Think a smoky or taupe eye with just a light gold sprinkle across the upper lid. You will even see glittery shades under the brow for a dramatic look. On the runway there have been glitter trailing down under the eyes like teardrops.
Surprisingly there is a natural trend as well. Shading and highlighting are played up in more neutral tones. Natural blush applied sparingly is popular this year. Try a lip balm with some tint and color to it for a natural looking lip. Apply a light shadow and mascara and you are ready for the day.
Designer patterns are also showing up in makeup. Think a basic eye shadow application, but then add a pattern like netting or swirls. There are graphic lines and geometric patterns that are going on the eye also. Think drawing outside the lines. This is for you if you want to get trendy and bold.
There are bright colors this season as well. Think teal liner, even on the brows. Think reddish or orange shadows with some sparkle and shine. Some colored mascara, just on the outside lashes also adds some dramatic flair.
