Sassy Underliner

We’re not surprised that the underliner trend, which broke the internet all summer, will continue into autumn 2022. The best thing about this makeup look is that it’s wearable, edgy, and easy to recreate. The secret to pulling off this look is to use the correct eyeliner formulation to keep it in place. The bareMinerals Mineralist Eyeliner defines your lids with rich, long-lasting colour and is designed to resist smudging, budging, or flaking. Its retractable liner delivers a smooth glide during application.

Matte Red Lips

A couple of coats of your favourite mascara and a velvety matte red for the lips are all you need to make an effortless statement. The rose petal red of all reds, Violette FR’s Petal Bouche lipstick in Amour Fou, enters the scene. This ultra-velvety lip colour replicates the suppleness of a rose petal for the dreamiest pout this autumn.

Brown Shadow

A wash of brown shadow adds warmth and subtle definition to the eyes. Finish the look with a coat of brown mascara to create a monochromatic look. The colour brown tends to flatter all eye colours, intensifying blue and green irises and bringing out gold flecks in hazel and brown eyes. Try the warm-toned Dose of Colors Baked Browns Eyeshadow Palette that provides ultra-pigmented mattes that blend like silk. The perfect palette for creating a variety of sultry smokey to everyday neutral eye looks.

Glass-Like Blush

Glass-like or dewy blush is here to stay for the colder seasons. Hardly surprising since we could all do with added radiance come winter. You can achieve enviably dewy, blushing cheeks with EspressOh’s Glassy Blush. The jelly-like formulation reacts with your skin’s pH to transform it into a dewy blushing tint. Its intensity and colour vary depending on your skin tone and pH. One shade ‘flushes’ all – one transparent shade for every skin tone.

From glitter eyelids to all-over shimmer, the early-aughts aesthetic has made its way into fall 2022, thanks to platforms like TikTok, where the #Y2K hashtag has over 3.8 billion views. To make the look more current, replace frosted lids with holographic pigments that create a multidimensional shine with a seamless finish. Rituel de Fille’s Celestial Sphere Gelée Eye Gloss does just that.
