Fall makeup tends to recycle the same trends, with warm-toned eyeshadows, vampy lips, and more muted colors to match the cooling temperatures. This year, though, runway trends are signaling bold eyeliner, attention-grabbing shimmer, and some of the bright colors normally associated with summer makeup. Refresh your makeup bag and start practicing fall 2022 makeup trends with these popular products.

The “no-makeup makeup” look isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Thanks to skin tints, BB creams and tinted moisturizers, your complexion can look dewy and perfected without feeling heavy and layered-on. As an added bonus, these products tend to offer skin care benefits, as well as light coverage. Plus, a lighter foundation is the perfect base for the kinds of bolder eye and lip looks anticipated this fall.

Periwinkle has been popular almost all year, and this soft shade of blue is expected to stick around through the fall. Experiment with wearing periwinkle in an eyeliner or as a soft wash of color across your lids. Try pairing it with a bold, glossy red lip.
Coral has also been popular on runways recently. Try a bold monochrome look by wearing coral eyeshadow with a coral multi-use stick on your lips and cheeks. Alternatively, sweep on a coral lipstick paired with graphic black eyeliner.

One of the most popular runway trends has been bold, graphic eyeliner accented with a pop of bright color. While the classic cat-eye is always in style, bold eyeliner tracing the brow bone or lining the inner corner is also expected to be a popular look this fall.
