The gorgeous colors of autumn aren't just for the clothes on your back. Try to incorporate those warm and cozy colors into your smokey eye look. Here's a tip: coppery tones complement blue eyes, bronze tones complement green eyes, and plum tones complement brown eyes. I love breaking out my coppery/bronzey eyeshadows in the fall for a spicy, smokey eye.
Big, bold brows are back! They haven't been quite this big of a trend since the dawn of the infamous Brooke Shields brows. If you haven't yet, try setting aside your tweezers for a few weeks and canceling your waxing appointments. I know it sounds impossibly difficult, but I did it myself and it really wasn't as bad as I imagined. Yes, there is bound to be a week or so when things feel a bit awkward and perhaps wonky, but I found it was worth it to achieve a more natural, bold brow look. If you have naturally thin or light eyebrows, try using a brow pencil to define them and make them look SLIGHTLY fuller. The key with this technique is to use a brow pencil or powder that is actually slightly lighter than your natural brow color. The darker you go, the more unnatural they'll look. Happy grooming (or lack thereof)!
This is a beauty trend that has stood the test of time through the ages, and I believe it will never die. There's nothing more classic than a bold red lip, and fall is the perfect season to try it out. I encourage you to go a little darker than the average red. Try dark, deep reds, burgundies, or deep berry shades. And remember, it's always a good idea to go easy on your eye makeup when doing a bold lip.
The poncho, it's come in and out of style several times. I've always been kind of on-the-fence about them. However, after looking through runway photos this year, I realized I am actually really loving the trend. Besides, they look so warm and comfy! I think they can actually work if you style them the right way. I would definitely suggest wearing a trendy poncho with skinny jeans/pants and boots/booties. Obviously, you'll look like a bag lady if you strut your stuff in a poncho while wearing sweatpants. So, dress responsibly ;)
Here's a cool trend I stumbled upon while checking out the photos of the Burberry Fall Show for this year. Long scarves in fall colors/muted colors worn hanging in front and belted as a sort-of clever accessory to a dress (or a long sweater, I suppose). It really adds a fun element to your outfit and is a neat way to make a dress or long sweater look like something new. You don't necessarily need to belt the scarf (b/c I know it's not flattering on all body types, including mine lol). But just wearing a long scarf without wrapping it around your neck is a cool and different way to wear it and jazz up your fall outfit.
