Fall makeup trends are taking a darker turn this year. And honestly, we’re here for it. As the weather cools down, beauty looks are getting deeper, moodier, and a little more dramatic. Think rich brown lips, smoky eyes, and cool metallic touches. Plus, some of our favorite 2010s trends are making a stylish comeback.
This season, dark lips are having a major moment. Deep burgundy, matte brown, and soft berry shades are ready to take over your makeup bag. Meanwhile, smoky eyes are getting a fresh update. The result feels sultry but still easy to wear. In addition, blurry makeup is keeping things soft and modern. No-mascara looks are also bringing a cool, undone feel. So, while these trends may seem different, they work surprisingly well together.
Metallic makeup is also set to shine this fall. Celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo expects frosted blush and icy lips to make a strong return. Think of that early-2000s sparkle, but with a more polished finish. At the same time, makeup artist Kenya Alexis predicts a comeback for deep lips and brown smoky eyes. It may feel nostalgic, but it still looks fresh.
