Once you have the new hottest items for fall 2016, you can start hosting makeup parties to give guests hot and trendy makeovers. So, what’s in this fall?

Lip Trends

First, we need to discuss one of the most popular makeup items, lipstick. For fall 2016 lipstick pigments are getting darker, with dark shades of browns, reds, burgundies, purples, and even black.


Now, you may be thinking that purples and blacks are too dark and that stuff should be saved for Halloween, but the matte finishes actually provide an extremely chic look.


The bold, trendsetters are blowing past the typical muted shades of beige and brick by wearing brown Earthy, coffee lipstick tones, like dark browns with hints of pink. The tones range from dark shades of pink to darker shades of java, with glossy shines, shimmer, and matte finishes.

To brighten up dreary, rainy fall days, fashion-forward people are wearing bright shades of pastels and reds. Light pinks and bright reds have been all the rage for a while, but now it's in to wear shades of light blues, greens, and purples too.


Fall 2016 is giving you the opportunity to celebrate your natural color beauty by only wearing a coat of clear lipgloss. Your lips will be hydrated and protected while you rock the lip color that your momma gave ya!

 

Your Eyes

Remember that whole 90’s grunge phase? Well, even if you don’t, you’ll have a chance to relive it, because the punk look is becoming popular again with a lot of dark eyeliner and eye shadows.


Goth eyes are taking off of runways at full steam, with even the most reputable fashionistas covering their entire eyelids with dark, grungy-looking eye shadow.


Usually, you hear about mascara brands that prevent clumping, but this fall is changing things. Now, twiggy, clumping eyelashes that stick together are extremely popular.


Eyeliner is being worn in new ways every day, creating trends that are catching on fast. People are wearing it with double wings, they’re tracing their eyelids and creating sharp angles that shoot upwards from the corners of their eyes. Also, they’re tracing the creases in their eyelids and drawing lines under their eyebrows.


Eyes are also becoming bright and glittery with florescent shades of mascara, eyeliners, and eye shadows ranging from bright blues and pinks to yellows, greens, and purples. Blue eyelashes are taking the world by storm, and more and more rainbow eyes with multiple colors are hitting the scene with a feminine boldness that can’t be matched.


Glitter is all the rage right now, especially when it’s under your eyelids or even in your eyebrows. These techniques have led to the creation of the modern smokey eye, which involves blending golden shades of yellow with greys, and lots of glitter and shimmer.
