This fall calls for metallic smoky eye colors in a variety of bold shades paired with a thick line of liquid gel eyeliner for extra drama. On the other end of the spectrum, you will see “barely there” natural makeup with vampy fire engine red lips and full well groomed brows. Full luscious lashes are also in this Fall, and the 70’s have returned for those looking for a retro-glam look. We will also see somewhat of a monochromatic trend for eyes, lips and cheeks. You can get this simple look by selecting the same color for your blush, eyes and lips.
