Summer lovers, prepare yourselves for a heartbreak. Summer is over. And so are the days of bright neon eyes and nails, flaming lips, and basking in all your bronzed glory. There there, we know it hurts. But instead of clenching on to the last bit of summer you have left, why not welcome fall in style?
Here we have seven must-try fall inspirations to get you in vogue for fall. Who knows, they might even make you fall in love with fall. We are high on cheesiness today, aren't we?
Brow wow
Although previously a neglected part of your makeup regime, brows have now risen to glory. A little tweak in your brow game can completely transform your look in no time. Thankfully the days of thin sparse brows, or worse, the overly filled brows, are over and everyone is embracing the relatively low maintenance bold brows. The trend is now gravitating towards "feather brows" as spotted on many celebrities including brow queen Cara Delevingne and Beyonce. The term refers to lightly packed arches brushed up, that have a slight untamed feel to it and yet still manage to look defined. To try the look, mimic brow hairs using quick and tiny strokes with a sharpened brow pencil. Then take your spooley and lightly brush your brows upwards.
I love pink
Grown weary of the exertion that is contouring? Everyone loves a perfectly chiseled face, or at least the illusion of it, but sometimes it can look a bit gaudy for daily wear. This fall, shove aside your contour kit and embrace the simplicity of barely there flushed cheeks. Shy away from bold colours and over the top technics and stick to the basics. Take a blush brush, a light pink blush and dab on your cheeks for an understated subtle pop of pink and you're done! Fall is all out being cozy and comfy and that extends to your makeup regime too.
Red hot
Red hot lips are one trend that never goes out of vogue no matter what time of the year it is. So if you have a stack of red lipsticks then some hoarded away, fret not. You can sport red lips this time of the year too. But going by the cozy laidback theme of fall, you might want to push the reds with an orange or golden tinge to the side. Go for the more demure vine reds and brick reds. Matte lips go perfectly for the season so you might want to stock up some more on your matte reds and keep the glosses for some other time. And of course, don't forget to take tonnes of selfies with your pout play on!
Dark and rich
No we are not talking about decadent dark chocolates. This season you can channel your inner goth by sporting dark lips. The lipstick trend this season is all about venturing into uncharted territory. Experiment to your heart's content because the choices are endless, ranging from gorgeous mahoganies to deep plums. Nothing exudes the essence of fall more than warm toned lips.
Bronze age
No, don't bring out your bronzers, that's still a summer staple. What we mean is the new smoky eye trend that has been all the rage lately. Smoky eyes, as gorgeous as they are, can sometimes make you wonder if they were worth all the effort. Thanks to the discovery of this effortless new rendition, smoky eyes are now as easy as it gets. It only involves the use of one shade: bronze. Swipe the colour all over your lids up to your brow bone and blend seamlessly as you go to avoid any harsh lines along the crease. The result, simple yet sultry eyes that make can make any man fall for you. Here we go with the pun again.
Graphic love
Bid adieu to the those delicate cat-eyes along with summer, fall is all about going all out. Step out of your comfort zone and experiment with edgy and bold liner tricks. Update your liner game and try on double winged liner or ultra bold cat eyes. If you possess the artistry you can also try on cut crease eye liner. Think of your eyes as a canvas for an abstract masterpiece and go crazy. But then again there is a thin line between eclectic and weird so don't take us too literally.
Lush lash
Lush lashes, like red lips, is one trend we can never get enough of. Whether you choose to resort to a pair of falsies or amp up the volume with coats of mascara, your fall cannot and should not begin without lashes that are anything short of stunning. Invest in a good volumizing mascara and start your fall with a bang.
