Pack up your sunset blush and retire your tanning drops for the season. The arrival of autumn means a cool new collection of makeup trends, and fall’s best are ones we can all easily wear and personalize.
Though we’re saying goodbye some standout summer beauty vibes, a few of them will continue to have life well into the winter months. Blurred lips, metallics for eyes, and juicy berry shades for lips, cheeks, lids and lashes are still on point for autumn. If you’re looking to add a couple of fresh makeup trends to your beauty mix here’s our picks of four great ones that are high impact and require minimal investment to update your beauty kit.
Rockstar Liner
From precision kitten flicks and bold wings artfully drawn on with liquid liner, to smoked-out, smudgy kohl rimmed eyes, liner is back in a massive way. You want to create a look that’s glam, a little bit goth, and definitely ready for a moment in the spotlight. Think newlywed Lana Del Rey’s always impeccable graphic eye liner.
Get the look: When it comes to eye pencils, there are few better than this waterproof gel liner which offers the flex of applying a simple graphic stroke along your lash line or smudged for smokiness. Whatever way you wear it, it won’t budge until you remove it. Available in 10 amazing shades from inky black to electric blue.

Fluttery Lashes
We’re in a moment of mascara minimalism, but that doesn’t mean lashes aren’t looking luxe. Volume and high gloss are what make lashes shine this season, creating a finish that looks light, feathery, and natural. Skip the extensions and the falsies and instead embrace your natural lashes, defined with an amplifying formula to bring out their best.
Get the look: This incredible new mascara from Charlotte Tilbury packs a punch of volume and will make your lashes look shiny and thick—it will deliver create of your dreams with just a flick of a curled wand.

Airbrushed Skin
We’re talking complexions that appear light matte, with a slightly blurred finish. Nothing heavy, or too chalky. Your natural skin texture should still shine through but instead of the mega glow up we’ve been seeing for the past few seasons, skin has a flawless, velvet smooth finish. The secret weapon to achieve this? A great setting powder that blends seamlessly into skin.
Get the look: This just released setting powder by makeup master Mario Dedivanovic is already a viral sensation, beloved because it sets makeup for up to 12 hours, blurs and smooths your complexion to create a no-makeup-makeup finish and boasts all-day shine control. Available in seven shades.

Scarlet Fever
A red lipstick revival is upon us this fall. Antique rose shades of summer have deepened into hues of carmine and bold apple—no other lipstick colour exemplifies glamour and power quite like red. Precise application of colour with a lip brush creates a slick look that is pure Old Hollywood glam.
Get the look: This lip crayon is made for precision application thanks to its pointed tip which means it doubles as a liner and lipstick. This buildable formula allows you to control the intensity of your shade, and the hydrating matte formula feels like butter on your lips.
