The 3 Top Autumn Beauty Trends You Need to Know About

This season, there are three key beauty trends taking centre stage, perfect for those who prefer a low-maintenance routine. Naturally defined brows, bold bitten lips, and flushed rosy cheeks are set to elevate your look this autumn. Here’s how to embrace these trends:

Naturally Defined Brows

From the skinny brows of the early 2000s to the block brows of 2016, and more recently, spiky soap brows, eyebrow trends have varied widely over the years. If you look back at pictures and wonder, "What was I thinking?" you were likely experiencing the phenomenon now coined as “brow blindness”.

This autumn, the focus is on embracing your natural brow shape, even if they are sparse. Gone are the days of overly sculpted and dramatic brows. Instead, think soft, natural, and effortlessly groomed. Natural shapes unique to your face and brow hair are having a moment, so work with what you have and gently enhance. The goal is soft and diffused as opposed to hard lines and contrasting edges. Ditch the brow palette and opt for a brow pen or sharp pencil, and seal with brow gel. Believe us, you’ll be amazed at the difference.

Bold Bitten Lips

Autumn is the perfect time to experiment with rich, bold lip colours. This season, embrace a fresh and modern take on beauty with the "bitten lip" look, a departure from the perfectly lined and filled lips we've been used to seeing.

Opt for shades of red, berry, and rose that complement your skin tone. These colours add warmth and intensity, ideal for the cosy autumn months. To achieve the just-kissed effect, apply your chosen matte lipstick with your finger or a lip brush, then blot with a tissue. This technique creates a soft, diffused edge that mimics the natural look of freshly bitten lips. For a more subtle take on the trend, go for tinted lip balms. These provide a hint of colour while keeping your lips moisturised and soft.

Rosy Cheeks

The third key trend for autumn is rosy cheeks, adding a fresh and healthy glow to your complexion. This look is all about achieving a natural flush that looks like you’ve just stepped in from the brisk autumn air.

Cream-based blush is easy to apply with fingers or a brush for a fresh-faced, natural finish. Suitable for all skin types, it won’t cling to dry skin or look unnaturally matte on oily complexions. For a longer-lasting effect, layer a powder blush over your cream blush. This combination ensures your rosy cheeks stay vibrant throughout the day. Choose blush shades in soft pinks and peaches to create a gentle, natural flush that complements the autumnal palette. Apply to the apples of your cheeks and work your way up the cheekbones for a natural yet lifted effect.
