It’s officially fall — and that means it’s time to grab your favorite knit sweaters, plan your apple-picking getaway, and get ready to revamp your makeup to match the warm and cozy vibes of the season.
At SHEGLAM, we believe that your makeup should be as versatile as you are, which is why we’re going to bring you the top ten fall makeup looks you need to try. These looks will help you say goodbye to the long, sun-soaked days of summer and embrace the cooler, laid-back feeling of fall.
Fall is the time of year when the leaves change color and there’s a pumpkin-spiced something waiting for you around every corner. To really get into the mood for fall, try out one of the following fall makeup looks.
With everything from suggestions for how to do your brows to what color will be making a splash this season, this list has got you covered so that you can be on trend (or even set trends) this fall.
Summer is all about a “less is more” makeup aesthetic, but once the temperatures start to cool down, you can think about more dramatic, darker looks. This fall, get ready to let your inner rockstar show with rock and roll eyes.
To achieve this look, apply a darker shadow to your eyelids and then a dramatic winged liner. You can bring this smoky liner down to your bottom lashline to turn the heat up even more on this look. Keep in mind that with rock and roll eyes, you’re going for a maximalist look. That being said, there’s no such thing as a wing that’s too long or a shade that’s too dark.
When you hear cool-toned makeup, your mind might immediately go to the frosty looks of the ‘90s.
Although those definitely were a look, we’re talking about something a little different here. This year, you can incorporate gray, ash brown, and pale cooler tones into your makeup look through eyeshadow and blush.
If you love a colorful makeup look, you can also experiment with lilac, lavender, and pale blue tones. The idea here is that cool tones will give your makeup a fresh, somewhat mysterious vibe that perfectly complements the feeling of the season.
Between apple pies and chai lattes, cinnamon is everywhere in the fall, so why not incorporate it into your makeup look? Using a mix of rich browns, deep orange, and subtle maroon shades from our Smart Cookie palette, you can create a monochromatic makeup look that feels as cozy as the season itself.
Look for eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, bronzer, and lip products that all fall into the same color palette. The result will be a look that feels as cozy as the season itself.
This is a great look if you enjoy a more natural makeup look and want an easy fall style that transitions seamlessly from day to night.
Although fall is often associated with neutral, earthy tones, you can bring a bolder element to your fall makeup look by incorporating a cranberry or burgundy lip. Given that they’re slightly darker than a classic red lip, these shades will give you a slightly moodier vibe.
The best part about a statement lip like this is that you don’t need to do much else with your look aside from the lips. Simply apply your most basic face makeup, a swipe of mascara, and let your lips do the rest.
Pairing a lipstick and smudged liner in the same shade will add an extra level of drama to this already showstopping look. If you ask us, this look is one of the easiest ways to achieve that French film-noir vibe we’re constantly striving for.
Shining, shimmering skin is a makeup trend we all know and love, and we’re happy to announce it won’t be leaving us any time soon. This trend is so timeless because it looks good in every season, paired with every outfit.
Glistening, “lit from within” skin is all the rage, and we’re here to help you achieve it. Hydration and drinking lots of water every day can certainly help, but our Sunburst Glow Mixer is the perfect way to get your look across the finish line with a natural but eye-catching sheen.
Taking grungy eyes to the next level is the goth-inspired makeup look that is going to make a splash this fall. If you want something that feels dark, edgy, and daring, this is the look for you.
To pull off this look, you’ll want to go full punk — this means doing a messy, smudged, black-lined eye, black shadow, and maybe even a black lipstick. The key here is keeping it far from perfect. The sloppier, the better.
When it comes to your skin, you’ll want to keep it fairly simple so that you don’t draw any attention away from your eyes and lips.
You’ll also want to stay away from bright blush when you’re doing goth-inspired glam to keep the palette dark and cool.
There’s nothing perfect about the makeup trends that are taking over this fall. The name of the game is smudged, grungy glamor that gives you an air of effortlessness and ease. You’ll see this happening most dramatically in terms of lip products.
Unlike the overlined lips that dominated the makeup game a few years ago, the makeup world is transitioning to a more blurry and lived-in look for lip styles this fall.
To achieve this, apply a soft, light lip product with your finger and gently press the product into your lips. You can also apply a lip liner and then subtly smudge it to add to the intentionally messy vibe.
Although fall is famous for its more neutral tones, that doesn’t mean you can’t play with color and incorporate different bright shades into your look. One product that has been taking over New York Fashion Week is colorful mascara.
If you’re going for a colorful shadow, you can extend the look all the way to your lashes by pairing it with a matching mascara to create a full monochromatic vibe. To make this trend feel more autumnal, go for jewel-toned mascaras like burgundy and forest green.
One of the best parts about the cooler fall weather is that it gives you that natural flushed look that’s taking over runways and red carpets right now. If you don’t live somewhere cold or want to enhance your natural flush, get on board with the season’s big, bold blush trend.
SHEGLAM’s Color Bloom Liquid Blush will be your go-to product for achieving a dramatic blush look because it is ultra-blendable and buildable. The darker shades, like Night Drive, Swipe Right, and Risky Business, will give your makeup look a more autumnal feel. The lightweight gel-cream formula makes application easy and allows you to layer this product with others.
Long, feathery lashes are another trend that’s going to define fall 2024 makeup. You have a few choices when it comes to achieving this look. You can stick to a powerful mascara or try out false lashes. If you get a little bit nervous at the mention of false lashes, don’t worry, we’ve got a few tips for you.
Before you even think about gluing the lashes on, draw a thin line of black eyeliner on your eyelid, then give it a couple of minutes to dry completely. This will hide the lash band and take some of the pressure off when it comes time to apply them.
Next, wait a minute or so to let your lash glue dry before you apply the lash strip. With lash glue, you should be aiming for a tacky, thick texture.
When it’s time to apply the lashes, make sure to tilt them up as you apply them. This will ensure that they land directly on your lash line. You can always touch up your lashes or liner with a Q tip and some lash glue if they start to come up.
You’re officially ready to enter fall, armed with ten different makeup looks that will have you turning heads wherever you go. Regardless of whether you prefer a more minimalist, cinnamon-infused look or if you want to go full gothic glam, there’s something for everyone on this list.
No matter which trends you choose to experiment with this fall, if you do take any of our suggestions don’t forget to share a pic of your look on social media and tag us. We’re so excited to see where your creativity takes you.
