Brat was the soundtrack and aesthetic of summer, but the makeup translates pretty perfectly into autumn, too. Landing somewhere in between glam, grunge and grime, the makeup gives messy party-girl vibes – so smudgy eyeshadow in grungy shades of brown, grey and black and full indie sleaze eyeliner are the way to go. Celebrity makeup artist, Nikki Wolff (whose clients include Hailey Bieber, Yara Shahidi and Sabrina Carpenter), previously told us autumn will be all about “lots of kohl liner and heavy lashes – it’s a little grungy, a little messy, a little slept-in, a little rock ‘n’ roll. This trend is all about easy application for maximum effect,” she says.
Soft baddie

For the uninitiated, baddie makeup has been dominating on TikTok and blends throwback ‘90s cool-toned makeup looks (which are currently up 360% on Pinterest), with a modern more pared-back approach to slick, snatched hot-girl makeup. The brows are dark, the liner is sharp, slim and perfectly executed and lips are defined. For autumn though, searches for “soft baddie makeup” are up a whopper 700% on Pinterest. It takes the signatures of baddie makeup but softens them for more of a girl-next-door take on sultry makeup.
Dewy makeup

Heading into autumn we often see matte or semi-matte foundations take over from dewy, but “glowy dewy makeup” is pulling in more searches this season (it’s up 185% on Pinterest). So, radiant bases are here to keep things feeling fresh through autumn-winter which means there’s no need to bench your lightweight skin tints. We love a juicy base that looks hydrated all year round. Likewise, load up on your favourite illuminators and highlighters to mix in with your foundation, or apply tactically on top. We’ve rounded up our favourites here.
