Chic & Affordable Fall Beauty Trends To Try Out ASAP
OTT Lashes
Very rocker-chic, but in the best way, right? Embrace your inner Joan Jett with lashes that go for miles. You can go the faux route, or make it simpler on yourself with a mascara, like Tom Ford’s Extreme ($45). The key is to pile it on for an intense look. The fall runways dictated an unkempt lash---one with a few clumps, even---and while that’s not exactly conducive to an errand run with the kids, it’s kind of nice to know you can rock a messier lash and be considered “trendy,” if only for a season.
Drama, Darling
Dare you wear the blackest of blacks…not on your eyelids, but on your lips? Methinks the answer is no, mainly because you aren’t a fifteen-year-old shopping at Hot Topic. Fortunately, the fall penchant for dark, dramatic color doesn’t rest firmly in the all-black category. Look to deep shades of burgundy and red to bring the same level of deep elegance to your look. Perfect for a night out, bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lipstick in Lead the Way ($18) does the job perfectly. The wine color is intense, but not so alarmingly dark that you’ll look like a teen playing dress-up.
A Deep Stain
An irresistible pout can mean the difference between a tired face and a wide-awake one, so make the most of this trend if all you have is a couple of minutes to spare in the morning. Rock the e.l.f. Studio Lip Stain in Red Carpet ($3) to achieve instant drama, minus the fuss. It has a gloss on the other end, ensuring your lips won’t dry out.
Sparkly Lids
Fall is trying to bring out the adventuress in you, no doubt, but words like “glitter” and “sparkle” aren’t usually high on your list of must-haves. That said, a bold, metallic lid is one of the season’s biggest trends. Think you can pull it off? Opt for a shade like Steel from Make Up For Ever ($21), preferably on a night out.
Pretty in Pink
If all this ferocity leaves you a little unsure about your fall beauty landscape, take a peek at a soft pink---a much more wearable shade that is especially chic on a chilly day. Add a dash of Clinique Pink Pop blush ($22) to your cheekbones for an instant perk-me-up that will brighten you up on pale days.
Power Hair Accessories
Bohemian chic is typically a fall fashion trend worth embracing, but it’s also just as much a beauty trend this year. It’s easy to pull off with the right accessories, like this Tasha Beaded Floral Head Wrap ($22). Cute and colorful, it evokes the spirit of boho style and adds a little color to your look on a drab day, too.
High Brow
I tend to turn up my nose at Instagram brows---those overly done shapes that look like they were developed at the Kylie Jenner school of beauty. But there’s something awesome about fall’s appreciation for a well shaped, thick brow. Steer clear of the caterpillar look (obviously), but do show some love for a more well defined brow with Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade Waterproof Brow Color ($18). It doesn’t budge, and it’s available in tons of colors.
Get That Glow
A luminous complexion is something I can get behind at any time of year, but it happens to be a much-hyped look for fall this year. Achieve an opalescent finish with MAC Mineralize Skinfinish ($32). It’s a light powder available in several hues, ranging from gold to bronze to coral, and all are beautiful options for a radiant fall.
