We’re edging into a new season which means we need to know: what are the autumn makeup trends on the agenda? It’s never too early to get a jumpstart and begin thinking about our next makeup era(s). And, according to top celebrity makeup artist, Ash Holm (who counts Kim K, Ariana Grande and Megan Fox as clients), it’s a tale of two halves.
Fresh, peppy, preppy skin will take some of us, while moody gothic-grunge is also having a moment. Although she points out, there’s nothing stopping us from leaning into both.
These are the autumn makeup trends you need to know for 2023. . .
Latte makeup and mocha tones
Latte makeup is the transitional makeup aesthetic that took off overnight earlier this summer, but it’s a palette that works just as beautifully heading into autumn, where it will be joined by richer shades within the same family. “Food-inspired beauty trends are here to stay,” asys Ash.
“As we step into fall, I’m excited to see the emergence of cosy beauty trends featuring shades of cinnamon, caramel, and deep chocolates. ”
So, expect to see lots of tonal shades of brown – mocha, cappuccino and camel – taking off. It carries on the monochrome trend we’ve been seeing too, with eyes, lips and cheeks co-ordinated with soft puffs of smoky almond, or shots of cafe au lait. It’s a departure from black, but still looks chic and classic.
