Autumn has arrived, ushering in the spooky season, pumpkin-flavored delights, cozy sweaters, and a fresh array of beauty trends. Whether you’re a makeup aficionado or just a casual dabbler, there are several enticing trends to explore this season.
Natural Base Makeup: Embrace the ‘less is more’ approach for your base makeup. Opt for a natural look by focusing on foundation, concealer, and setting powder. Even if you have specific skin concerns like acne-prone skin, you can achieve a natural appearance with full-coverage makeup that mimics your skin effortlessly.
Cream Everything: Cream makeup products are making a comeback. Regardless of your skin type, there’s a cream product suitable for you. Consider these foundations based on your desired coverage:
Light coverage: it Cosmetics CC cream+ for a tinted moisturizer with SPF.
Light-to-medium coverage: Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB cream offers a barely-there, buildable coverage.
Medium coverage: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation provides easily buildable coverage.
Heavy coverage: e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation requires fewer applications for full coverage.
Soft-Lined Eyeliner: Instead of precise, harsh lines, opt for softly smudged eyeliner. This trend is ideal for those who may have unsteady hands. Use a q-tip to blend and smudge your eyeliner to achieve the desired effect.
Burnt Blush: Ditch the bright, bubblegum pink blush and embrace darker, richer shades of red-pink. Think along the lines of deep roses and brown-based colors. These muted shades complement the fall season just as darker clothing does.
Silver Inner Corners: Enhance your eyes by adding a touch of silver to the inner corners. It’s a quick and easy technique that makes you appear more awake. You can find individual shades of gray or cream/liquid products to apply to the corners of your eyes at makeup stores.
Goth/Smokey Makeup: The trend of goth makeup is making a comeback. Dark shadows, eyeliners, lip colors, and other makeup products in black, dark purple, or similar dark hues are in vogue. Embrace your inner darkness with this trend.
Glass Lips: Glossy lips are back in style. Achieving a glassy, mirror-like lip effect is a breeze with the myriad of glossy lip colors available from different makeup brands. Just be prepared for a bit of inconvenience on windy days, and consider using a claw clip to secure your hair in place.
As fall descends, gather your friends, indulge in pumpkin spice lattes, and head to your favorite makeup store to stock up on products for a trendy autumn 2022 look.
