Cooler season is already here, and while we’re bummed out to be putting away our floral dresses and strappy sandals, we’re amped up for a whole new universe of cosmetic trends that will optimize the approaching months. Don’t worry, many of them warm up skin tones and will help you look like a person instead of Edward Scissorhands when the cold comes to get us all.
1. Gloss and light-colored stains
Rather of a heavy lipstick, which may produce unattractive creases, and also age you a bit, a gloss or light stain is a whimsical approach to inject color without being too serious. You may play with layering colors for this look, and add a blush or eye look without it becoming excessive.
2. Metallics in neutral
A bright copper and ethereal take on gold flooded the runway and Tumblr this season, and it has us psyched. Bright metallics can be a touch terrifying, so keep it in the neutral family. People are even applying metallic lip gloss on their lids as a luxurious shadow, so repurpose all of your metallic cosmetics for this cause!
3. Two-toned lips
We’re not advocating you go all Willy Wonka purple and green with this outfit.
It’s all about the subtlety with this look – a slightly darker or lighter tint on your top or bottom lip will do the trick here and offer depth to your look for a truly unique remix on a painted lip.
4. Denim eyeshadow
We opted to go with denim because too-blue jewel tones can appear a touch old (watch the GLOW series and you’ll know what I mean) A subdued blue liner with a generally natural look is a terrific way to gradually transition into fall. A little faded, or ombre tone with this will look wonderful.
5. False lashes > mascara
Why clump up your natural lashes when you could apply a dazzling layer of falsies to brighten and fill up your top lash line? You may rock all-natural with this look and still appear dolled-up. It makes eyes look bigger and more awake. But keep the remainder neutral to avoid going full Kardashanian.
6. Blush on an otherwise natural face
You know that look you get on frigid days, when your cheeks have just a tinge of rouge in them? We’re not talking Raggedy Ann circles or extensive contouring – we’re suggesting just a rosy hue with a bare lip and face goes a long way in producing a healthy glow. You may even try this with some cheap bronzer!
7. Dramatic wings/cat eye
Mix up this classic by adding an inch to your wing, or turning into a “wishbone wing” by angling out that final flick. It definitely brings that Twiggy vibe to another level, and you don’t even need shadow or a lip color – this is the centerpiece! You’ll be sure to stand out from the throng.
8. Brown and mauve lips
Try a lip color that’s the same as the changing leaves! A brown pout is flawless both matte and gloss, and toying with a full spectrum of tones makes it ideal for practically every skin color. For a transitional look, mauve can be a fantastic beginner’s jump before you do the main leap to full on autumn brown.
9. A dab of pearl
Just a little pearl or effervescent cream makeup placed on the inner corners of the eye for a dewy, fresh look that really opens up the eyes. Adding pearl to any look can really offer that fresh look and is the perfect way to accent an already au naturel look.
10. Floating liner
This is a futuristic aesthetic for confident females. But it’s absolutely not for everyone, so try it out with your honest friends before you try introducing it at your local club. It elevates a look and nearly mimics calligraphy – try out a light black line that floats on the middle of your eyelid, between brow and the bottom of your upper lid, combined with a translucent berry lip.
