5 Must Follow Makeup Trends for Fall 2018

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at LMU chapter.

With the arrival of Fall, I keep coming across many of the same makeup trends online, whether that be on Youtube, Instagram, or even Pinterest. I wanted to give you all some inspiration to get outside your comfort zone and try something different for your looks this season! Many influencers are using vibrant colors, deep lipsticks, rocking smoked out eyelids, and bold eyeliners for this fall. Here are some of my favorite trends for autumn that are inspiring me to try a new look:

 

PINK EYESHADOW

This is the ultimate trend for me since I love pink! Rock a vibrant smoked out lid with a nude lip like Jaclyn Hill or even a romantic, monochromatic pink look like Kylie Jenner. Here are some photos from influencers that I’m going to recreate for myself!

BOLD LINER

 

While some may think that rocking a bold liner is intimidating, I am living for it this season! I love that this trend is one that’s seen everywhere, from the everyday person to runway models. For this look, you could try a very bold, black cat-eye wing like Katy (also known as Lustrelux), or go for a more colorful reverse wing like Aspen Artistry. Try it for yourself!

BLUE EYESHADOW

 

Blue is also one of my favorite colors! It looks amazing on brown and hazel eyes and makes them pop like crazy. Try a halo eye like Desi Perkins and Katy, or even a blown out, one-color look like Kim Kardashian West. Either way, I’m here for this trend!

BOLD LIP

 

Fall is known in the cosmetic world as the season to rock a bold lip. I love this trend because it’s so quick. Pop on a pair of lashes or some mascara, a red lip and you are set! You don’t have to worry about fussing with eyeshadow or liner. I also love deep, rich purples for the fall season, which will look beautiful on any skin tone!

SMOKEY EYE

 

Last but not least, the renowned smokey eye. I love this trend because you can really use any color you’d like; from black to sparkly grey, and even purples and oranges. It also never goes out of style! This is a great look for a night out with your gals. Pop on a nude lip and a pair of lashes or mascara and you’ll have a look that could kill!
