Fall Into these 7 Autumn Beauty Trends

Fall is here which means spooky season, pumpkin everything, cozy sweaters, and new beauty trends. Whether you’re a makeup professional or just dabbling here and there, there are some trends you need to try.

1. Natural Base Makeup

What is base makeup, you may ask? Think whatever you usually put on first: foundation, concealer, setting powder… The things that are the base of your makeup. This season, natural is in. For my people who may not feel like they can go natural (hello, acne-prone skin), there are ways to make your full-coverage makeup look natural so it looks like you’re not wearing a dang thing.

2. Cream Everything

Cream makeup users rejoice! Cream products are back in. With today’s market, no matter your skin type, you’ll be able to find cream products that work for you. Here are some foundations you can try based on your coverage preference:

  • Light coverage: it Cosmetics CC cream+ – think tinted moisturizer (usually with SPF)
  • Light-to-medium coverage: Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB cream – barely there, buildable coverage
  • Medium coverage: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation – easily buildable coverage
  • Heavy coverage: e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation – fewer applications necessary

3. Soft-Lined Eyeliner

In the past, we’ve seen one trend for eyeliner be harsh, precise lines. This season, one eyeliner trend is softer application. What does this mean? Grab a q-tip and smudge those lines. For those with unsteady hands, this trend is made for you.

4. Burnt Blush

In the past, bubblegum blush was in. Bonus points if it had shimmer. For this fall, trade that bright pink for a darker, richer, red-ish pink. Think dark roses and brown-based colors. With these shades, you won’t need much, but just as darker-colored clothes come into play for the fall months, so should your blush.

5. Silver Inner Corners

There are a few great things about this trend. One: it takes virtually no time. Two: it looks like it took you waaaay longer than it did to do your makeup. Three: it will make you look more awake. Those are all worth-it things in my book. Makeup stores sell individual shades of grey, as well as cream or liquid forms you can dab in the corners of your eyes.

6. Goth/Smokey Makeup

I have been doing all-around black eyeliner since I first picked up a makeup product in middle school, and I know there are others who have, as well. For those of us, our trend is back! Goth makeup is back in. Think dark shadows, liners, lip colors, and anything else you can find in black, dark purple, or whatever other dark color that makes your little dark heart happy.

7. Glass Lips

Gloss is back in! This may not make it easy when it’s windy – I suggest investing in a claw clip for those days you want that glossy, glassy, mirror-like look. With just about every makeup brand that’s out there, you can find a glossy lip color, whether that’s colored, clear, or sparkly.

Fall is upon us whether we’re ready or not. Grab some friends and plenty of PSLs and hit up your local makeup store to stock up on products for autumn 2022.

7 Makeup Trends You Need to Try for 2022

The bolder the better.

After the chaos of 2020 and 2021, people are ready to see what 2022 will bring. And, of course, a new year brings new makeup and beauty trends. All that to say, there are seven new makeup trends you need to try for 2022.

1. Bold Lips

This has been a trend in the past, but the bold lip is coming back into play in the makeup world. Whether it’s a bold red, shocking pink, or even vibrant purple, finding a bold lip color to use will be the hit of the year.

2. Rhinestones

Bling is in for 2022! Use some rhinestones around your eyes and even on your collarbones for the extra sparkle you’ll love for the year. You can find this bling at specific makeup stores, big box stores, or even costume stores.

3. Red-Based Tones

Specifically orange, red, and coral, these red-based tones will be all the rage. Grab some lip colors in these shades to pull in the bold lip or get some eyeliner in these shades to go with the bold eyeliner trend.

4. Soft/Satin Skin

In the past, there’s been matte skin, dewy skin, bare skin… The list goes on and on. This year, soft/satin skin is in. What does this mean? This trend is right between dewy and matte without using a ton of makeup. For this, focus on BB and CC creams, or lightweight foundations and powders.

5. Bold Eyeliner

This 80s and 90s trend is coming back to life. For this trend, there are a couple of different ways to do it. You can do designs such as intense cat eyes, geometric shapes, and fun patterns. Or, you can use bright colors such as coral, pink, blue, purple… If it’s bright, add it to your collection.

6. Draped Blush

This trend has been around for a while but has become more popular recently. We know about shaping using bronzer and/or contour, but did you know you can create the same effect using blush? Instead of applying it just on the apples of your cheeks, sweep the color from your temple across your cheekbone.

7. Lifted Brows

Eyebrows have probably been one of the most commonly-changed makeup trends. From thin brows to thick brows to brushed brows to defined brows, there are so many trends that have passed. But, for 2022, the trend is lifted brows. To do this, invest in brow gel or brush-on brow color and then brush your brows up and set them like that. For darker brows, you most likely won’t need to add much color. For lighter brows, find a lighter-colored product so they still look natural, but noticeable.

Makeup is ever-changing and sometimes it can be hard to keep up with what’s popular. But, with these new and easy-to-do trends, you can stay on top of the makeup game while still looking super chic.
