Smoky shadows, brown lipsticks, and pops of neon, oh my!
Refreshing your makeup stash is a rite of passage for the transition between every season. Fortunately, fall 2019 beauty trends leave a lot of room for inspiration—the return of some autumnal classics are reimagined with modern twists for looks that are anything but boring. A season-specific guiding hand is always useful, so delve into these eight popular trends that are guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing.
Subtle Glitter
Smoking out your lash line is the quickest way to create an illusion of bigger and wider eyes. If you feel like you don't have the lid space to work with thin liquid liners (s/o to all my hooded lids or monolids gals), smoky lines are a great alternative. Try mixing black and gunmetal shadows in your palettes to add more dimension.
This shade of orange is less "pumpkin spice" and more "firefighter hat," and yet a monochromatic look with the hue is no less autumnal and just as wearable. Just remember to apply in moderation. Hot tip: blend a blood orange shadow in your crease and take a lipstick of the same shade across your cheeks and lips in desired intensities. Et voilà! You’re red—or should I say blood orange—carpet ready.
The deep hue is making a strong revival this fall, and brown lips surprisingly versatile considering just how many variations there are. You could go for a brown with wine tones like Priyanka Chopra, or full “Friends”-era Jennifer Aniston with a milk chocolate. As with red lipstick, there’s a perfect shade for everybody.
One-and-done eyeshadows are the lazy-girl hack to eye makeup. And this fall, you should sprinkle some bright pastels and jewel tones into your single shadow stash. The final look will look like you put some serious thought into it, even though all you really did was pop your finger into a cream shadow and swipe it across your lids. Easy peasy, bright and breezy.
Smoky eyes have never gone out of style, but a little restructuring can add freshness to even the most trite of trends. Invert your standard black liner look and transform it into a more graphic look. Try a crease cut with black cream eyeshadow and press a chunky glitter pigment right on your upper lash line.
Summer is ending, but that doesn't mean your skin has to show it. Keep summer vacation going with a dewy, bronzed complexion. Creamy products are key–layer moisturizers, highlighters, blushes, and bronzers to achieve this just-came-back-from-Cancún glow (even if the closest to the tropics you got was scrolling through your social media feed).
The '80s is making a resurgence when it comes to eye makeup. Neon is making an especially convincing comeback, and it's super wearable when diffused in the inner corner. Metallic or matte, it's a surefire way to animate an otherwise monochrome look.
