Fall Makeup Looks
What’s New & Trending This Fall
- Toasty Makeup Glow: Warm caramel and bronze eye shadow palettes create a sun-kissed, luminous complexion. Soft halos of bronze and smoky brown on the eyes blend with peach blush and honey-rose lips for a radiant finish.
- ’Clean Girl’ Meets Edge: Minimalist, glowy skin enhanced with “skin silking” techniques—hydrating tints and light concealers—balanced with bold elements like oxblood lips, tightlined eyes, or structured spiky lashes .
- ’90s Matte Revival & Grunge Edge: Taupe and latte-brown matte eyeshadow palettes, glossy berry lips, and grungy smoky eyes with shadow crayons or smudged liners are hot for fall 2025.
- Goth-Glam Meets Modern Nostalgia: Inspired by Jenna Ortega’s aesthetic—smoked-out eyes, cool-pink lips, bleached brows, and Y2K grunge vibes—this look pairs glowing skin with retro edge.
- Soft Sculpt & Neutral Neutrals: Matte neutral looks with soft sculpting and natural brows, rich dark lips (oxblood/blackberry), and fluffy brows lead the editorial-to-everyday transition.

Sharing a roundup of fall makeup looks to help you feel refreshed and excited for the new season! Shop my fall makeup favorites in the boutique below! Also, don’t forget that priming is an important first step in any makeup look. Be sure to check out my complete guide on makeup priming here.
Cloudy Latte Matte | Fall Makeup
Think soft matte skin with a diffused brown blush or soft matte highlight—ultra wearable and flattering. Anchor it with muted, latte-inspired matte eye shadow palettes and subtle nude lips.
Toasty Radiance | Fall Makeup
Build warmth using bronzy eye shadow palettes, dewy base layers, champagne highlights, and subtle peach lip tones for a cozy, radiant glow. This look is especially trendy with makeup artist’s this season.
Grungy Smudged Smoky Eye | Fall Makeup
Use shadow crayons or gel liners in brown, taupe, or gray for a lived-in, slightly undone smoky eye paired with soft matte lips and natural blush.
Goth-Nostalgia Glam | Fall Makeup
Inspired by Wednesday’s goth glam: think dark eye shadow for depth, rose-cool matte lips, soft matte foundation, and intentional contrast with edgy eye and lip definition.
Soft Sculpt & Matte Drama | Fall Makeup
Sculpted matte cheekbones, soft matte eyeshadow palettes, bold oxblood or rich berry lips, and fluffy, defined brows complete the mood for fall evenings.
All About Blush | Fall Makeup
Blush is having a major moment this fall, with the overly blushed look becoming incredibly popular. Made trendy by stars like Sabrina Carpenter, it’s perfect for achieving that “cold makeup” look this fall and winter. Layering on blush gives a fresh, rosy cheeked vibe that adds warmth to any makeup routine during the cooler months.
Berry Lips | Fall Makeup
Soft berry lips are a big trend this fall, offering a relaxed yet striking pop of color. This subtle berry look is a fresh alternative to bold red, adding just the right amount of drama while keeping it easy and wearable. It’s the perfect way to bring a hint of fall’s richness into your makeup routine.
Minimal Mascara | Fall Makeup
Minimal mascara is on trend this fall, embracing a more subtle and understated approach. Instead of bold, dramatic lashes, this look focuses on just enough mascara to enhance your natural beauty. It’s all about keeping it classy and timeless, adding a soft touch to your fall makeup routine.
metallic eyes | Fall Makeup
Metallic eyes are the go to for a bold eye look this fall. With metallics trending in everything from nails to clothing, they bring a chic touch to makeup as well. Opt for gold, bronze, silver, or other metallic shades to elevate your look, perfect for a fall party or wedding. This shimmery trend adds a striking, glamorous finish to any outfit.
Latte | Fall Makeup
Latte makeup is all about using various shades of brown and nude to create a soft, blended look that suits any skin tone. It’s like giving your skin a warm, bronzed glow, much like the color of a latte. You can adjust the shades to match your skin tone, going darker for deeper complexions. This makeup trend is great for all seasons but particularly cozy and fitting for fall. The Chanel Les Bieges Bronzer is one of my favorite products featured for this look. Check out my Chanel Bronzer review for more on this product. Additionally, if you’re looking for more makeup with a glow, be sure to check out my post here.
Vampy Lips | Fall Makeup
Vampy lips are a fall makeup staple, featuring darker shades of red that exude bold and sultry vibes. This trend is perfect for experimenting with deep and rich hues like burgundy, brown, or classic reds. It’s undoubtedly a perfect way to add a touch of drama and sophistication to your autumn makeup look, complementing the season’s cozy vibe and fashion.
Back to Browns | Fall Makeup
Brown makeup is a timeless choice for fall. It encompasses the classic hues and offers a versatile range of options. A monochromatic brown look, whether it’s a smokey brown eye or brown lips, perfectly captures the essence of the season. It’s a go-to choice for embracing the cozy and warm vibes of fall while staying effortlessly chic. For more chic neutral eyeshadow looks, check out my post here.
Cloud Skin | Fall Makeup
Cloud skin is a big trend right now and will be everywhere this fall. It’s makeup that’s all about a soft, radiant look. Instead of heavy, matte makeup, it lets your natural glow shine through a gentle, powdered finish. This trend is all about making your skin look fresh and healthy, like you’re glowing from the inside out. So, get ready to see a lot of cloud skin this autumn!

Minimal Makeup | Fall Makeup
Minimal makeup is a big trend, and it’s expected to continue into Fall 2024. This trend involves using makeup products like skin tints, primers, and concealers that also take care of your skin. It’s all about looking natural and fresh while giving your skin some extra love. I personally love minimal makeup and Gucci Westman is one of my favorite brands. Be sure to check out my Gucci Westman Atelier Makeup Review for some of my favorite makeup products featured with a skincare approach formulated with clean beauty products.
’90s Lips | Fall Makeup
The ’90s lip trend is making a comeback this fall, and it’s all about embracing that iconic vintage vibe. Think lip liners, lip gloss for a shiny finish, and muted, earthy tones that embrace ’90s nostalgia. It’s a look that effortlessly combines a touch of retro chic with modern elegance.
Matte | Fall Makeup
Matte makeup is another go-to for fall that makeup artist’s are loving, offering a velvety finish that complements the season’s cozy vibes. Whether it’s matte lipstick in warm neutrals, browns, or burnt oranges, or even a matte eyeshadow, this trend adds a touch of sophistication to your fall look. It’s all about achieving a chic and long-lasting makeup style that’s perfect for autumn days and nights.
Bold Red | Fall Makeup
Bold red lipstick is always a fall favorite, and this year is no exception. It’s a classic choice that never goes out of style, and it’s making a strong comeback in both fashion and makeup for Fall 2024. Whether you’re rocking a deep crimson or a chic scarlet, bold red lips are a great way to make a statement and add a pop of drama to your autumn look.
