If you’re looking for easy makeup looks to wear this season, you won’t be disappointed with these autumn 2021 makeup trends. If you’ve thought about trying the kitten eye, warm neutrals or 90s inspired brick-red lips, we’ve compiled the go-to products to achieve them all. Whether you’re a fan of subtle makeup or prefer a more defined finish, we’re sure you’ll want to try these autumn makeup looks ASAP!
1. Brick Red Lips
Brick-red lips are a favourite for Autumn 2021. This shade of red with a hint of brown is the easiest way to pull off a classic deep red, especially for daytime. Brick-red lips are also a nod to the 1990s, so why not go the whole hog and evoke ’90s supermodel glam by teaming brick-red lips with a soft smokey eye.

2. Everyday Natural Makeup
Let’s face it, everyday natural makeup will be a mainstay for many of us this autumn. Ever since mask-wearing became a thing, full coverage makeup became a non-necessity. So if you’re into the ‘less is more’ look but don’t want to skip makeup entirely, these multitasking products are for you.

3. Warm Neutrals
Nothing is more wearable than a palette of soft neutral tones. If you want to go a step further than the natural makeup look, warm neutrals are ideal for subtly defining your eyes, lips and face. These Chanel products form the perfect foundation for neutral makeup looks.

4. Rich Textures
This season’s bold eye is multi-tonal and luxuriously textured. To achieve the look, layer up mattes, shimmers and metals to add extra dimension to to the eyes. We’ve found the best eyeshadow palettes offering a multitude of sumptuous textures and colours for all skin tones.

5. Kitten Eyeliner
The ‘kitten eye’ is what the beauty sphere is calling a subtler and daintier version of the cat-eye. We love the kitten eyeliner trend because it’s foolproof and a great way to define the eyes for daytime without looking overdone. You can rely on these long-wearing eyeliners to stay put all day long.

6. Soft Sculpting
Soft-sculpting is the subtle, more diffused take on contouring that’s trending in a big way for autumn 2021. Achieving the perfect soft sculpt requires easing up on your usual contour or bronzer application. The aim is to look fresh-faced while still maintaining some definition.
