Another season, another set of trends. Not to worry, though. Many of the beauty color trends transition easily from summer to fall. Here you’ll find what’s hot for fall and something that works for you and your style.
Hair Color
Reds: Redheads were hot for summer, and they’re hot for fall. Add some rich copper tones to transition to the new season. To intensify the look, add in some subtle highlights to make the look pop.
Brunettes: Dimension is the key this season. Ask your stylist for some balayge highlights or lowlights in warm or golden tones. If you’re looking for a new shade, think cherry cola brown. The subtle red in your hair will have you hitting on two trends.
Blondes: Think butter (platinum with golden highlights) and warm honey. If you’re a brunette looking to lighten up or a blond looking for a deeper hue, you might want to try the bronde trend. Bronde is characterized as the perfect combination of blonde and brown hues.
Nail Colors
Think chromes, texture and glitters. If you’re craving something a bit more tame try a smoked lavender, chocolate cherry, teal or khaki. Try OPI’s Peace&Love&OPI for a holographic green-meets-eggplant or CND’s Vinylux Blue Rapture for a tantalizing teal blue.
Makeup
Makeup trends for fall are all over the place as grunge, the 1960s, and the natural look come to the forefront. To channel your inner ‘60s gal, try a cat eye by using black eyeliner to create a winged look. Those missing the days of ‘90s grunge will be happy to hear that smoky eyes and dark lips are in again. Try Aveda’s Sweetplum lip color, a rich, plum violet, for a pretty pout. And for your inner minimalist try the natural look with a simple sweep of mascara and a basic lip balm.
