      Few things rival the moment you catch that first hint of crisp, cool fall air. You might start to physically crave candlelight, cozy sweaters, cinnamon-infused coffee creamers, and\u2014maybe best of all\u2014a total seasonal makeup refresh. If you\u2019ve been stuck in a beauty rut or feeling uninspired with your everyday look, the top makeup trends of fall 2025 are full of both subtle and extreme ways to shake things up and embrace a creative new approach.\n<\/p>\n

      Maybe that means exchanging a your-lips-but-better liner for a decidedly bolder color, or letting your natural brows take center stage for once. No matter how you embrace the season\u2019s biggest crazes, though, it\u2019s clear that they\u2019re all a significant departure from what ruled spring and summer. \u201cI think in general, most people will lean minimalist but go big and bolder for events,\u201d says celebrity makeup artist Ernesto Casillas. \u201cYou start to miss the glam and bust out the sparkles and bold colors for special events.\u201d Really, there\u2019s a little something for every aesthetic this season.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

      Above all, this autumn seems to lean heavily into personal expression and straight-up fun. In other words? Say goodbye to the \u201cclean girl\u201d aesthetic and all of its streamlined minimalism. \u201cIt was beautiful in its simplicity, but what I\u2019m seeing now is a hunger for more dimension, more excitement, and more personality,\u201d explains Danessa Myricks, makeup artist and founder of Danessa Myricks Beauty. Best of all, there are endless ways to infuse playful spirit into a look, be it through texture, color, or finish.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

      Just ahead, gear up for autumn by exploring fall\u2019s top makeup trends, complete with expert insight from the pros.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      It\u2019s typical to gravitate toward warm, earth-toned eyeshadows the minute September starts, but this year, things might look a little different. Myricks tells Byrdie that she\u2019s noticing a big turn away from those classic bronzes and browns, and into frostier territory: \u201cThink cool-toned liners, icy glosses layered on the eye, and glass-like shimmers that feel futuristic but still wearable,\u201d she lists, easy to achieve with the help of a glossy balm layered over the lids or a cream shadow.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      One major reason fall makeup tends to be a little heavier is the weather itself\u2014cooler temps allow products to stay longer where they\u2019re applied, which makes it an ideal time to experiment. One big trend already sweeping social media is a reverse eyeliner wing. The liner is concentrated in the inner corner rather than the outer lash line, and possibilities are limitless.\n<\/p>\n

      You can incorporate a trending color, a sharp, edgy design, or add some reflective glitter\u2013try the NYX Vegan Loose Face and Body Glitter\u2013for a true main character moment.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      You\u2019ve probably already heard the good news: More-is-more 2016-style makeup is back in a big way, which, in turn, means late \u201890s color palettes are in the spotlight once again. \u201cRather than a single [trending lip] color, what excites me most is the return to contrast and play,\u201d Myricks explains. She suggests a deep brown or gold lip liner, topped with a frosty gloss for maximum retro authenticity. \u201cShimmer and sparkly lips are absolutely back!\u201d\n<\/p>\n

      Myricks suggests creating dimension by overdrawing just the cupid\u2019s bow and lip outer corners with a deeper liner, then concentrating shimmer or sparkle only in the center. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have a frost lipstick, you can use a frosty or metallic eyeshadow to pat over any lipstick with your fingertips,\u201d Casillas adds.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Step away from the luminizer\u2014while glassy, glazed skin may have been the goal this summer, expect a hard pivot into the mattes for autumn. Celebrity makeup artist Yolonda Frederick sees a resurgence of that \u201csmooth, satin-y blurred finish\u201d for complexions. A pressed powder, like the cult-favorite LYS Triple Fix Setting Powder, staves off shine for a smooth, matte look. If you\u2019re after an even more airbrushed effect, though, start your routine with a blurring primer.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Would it even be fall without bold, statement-making lip colors? The trending shades are all fan favorites, too, like cocoa browns, dusty roses, and vampy oxbloods, a go-to for Frederick because of how striking it looks on all skin tones. Mattes may be having a moment again, but a deep, sultry color can pack even more punch with a little shine.\n<\/p>\n

      Myricks says one of her favorite fall products is the Eadem Le Chouchou Exfoliating + Softening Peptide Lip Balm, which she says \u201cgives you that plush, hydrated lip with a tint that feels effortless but luxe. I love pairing it with a deeper liner for that \u201890s throwback vibe.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      While bolder colors are coming back into play this season, you don\u2019t need to be a master of technical makeup to make it happen. Both Frederick and fellow celebrity makeup artist Jennifer Tioseco agree the imperfect approach to color\u2014especially with cream-based product\u2014is huge for fall. \u201cBlending and layering with a transition shade or cream base keeps the look polished and wearable,\u201d Tioseco tells Byrdie.\n<\/p>\n

      Similarly, Frederick describes seeing \u201cboth smudged and structured eye looks using cream shadows in more vibrant well-pigmented shades then adding drama with bold eyeliner accents in either the inside or outside corners.\u201d She likes using the double-ended Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow Sticks to make it happen.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Fall 2025\u2019s biggest blush look is all about a blown-out haze of color rather than the dewier, sunburn-simulating trend that ruled summer. Reach for a powder or cream-to-powder formula to get that airbrushed, satin-y texture, like Tioseco\u2019s favorite KJH Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek stick, or the aptly named Sisley Paris Color Cloud.\n<\/p>\n

      \u201cThese are on the more powdery side, they blend perfectly creating this skin-from-within cloudy effect,\u201d she explains. And as far as specific colors go, it\u2019s all about the fall classics. \u201cDoll pink has been trending for blush the past few years but I\u2019m ready to start seeing more berry and orange shades,\u201d says Casillas.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      One 2016 touchstone that won\u2019t be back this year? Carved-out, ultra-defined eyebrows. \u201cI think bold brows are taking a break,\u201d shares Sean Harris, celebrity makeup artist. \u201cWe are seeing muted brows paired with bold lips for Fall 2025,\u201d he adds, a coupling that feels more than a little French-girl cool. Put away brow pencils and powders (for now, anyway) and consider a simple coat of volumizing gel, like Merit\u2019s best-selling Brow 1980, instead.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      You know the \u201crich girl\u201d beauty trend that affected everything from hair color to nail shape? It\u2019s back this fall, but with an even more opulent spin. Harris says he\u2019s loving luxe jewel tones for lips, pointing out garnet and bold ruby as two favorite shades.\n<\/p>\n

      He applies a brown liner before the main color, a technique, he explains, that \u201callows you to gently feather in your lip color and get a finished look that is polished and precise.\u201d He\u2019s currently into the MAC Cosmetics Nocturna lip collection, which he describes as perfect for fall.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
