Autumn makeup is a mood: richer, warmer and a little more polished than summer's barely-there glow. Three trends are leading the season, and all of them are refreshingly wearable.
1. The berry lip
Plum, mulberry and brick-red are the shades of the season, in everything from a sheer stain to a bold matte. Blot a deeper tone into the lip for that lived-in, "bitten" finish.
2. Warm, smoked-out eyes
Think bronze, copper and terracotta blended soft, no harsh lines. It flatters every eye colour and pairs perfectly with the berry lip without competing.
3. Lit-from-within skin
Glow doesn't go away in autumn; it just gets cosier. A luminous base, cream blush in a warm rose, and a touch of highlight keeps skin looking healthy through the grey.
Recreate all three with our makeup edit, including cult favourites from Charlotte Tilbury, at prices that leave room for the whole look. Browse the bestsellers everyone's buying right now.
