As summer fades and autumn and winter arrive, our wardrobes shift from light pastels to richer browns and olives. Our makeup routines also evolve! The latest runways showcased stunning new makeup trends. Here are our top 10 picks for you to explore! Get ready to embrace the autumn and winter seasons with these trendy makeup looks!

1)  Brown Smokey Eye

Victoria Beckham recently unveiled her latest makeup secrets in collaboration with Estée Lauder. Expect smoky eyes and stunning nude lips – the ultimate autumn makeup look!

The classic smokey eye gets a modern twist this fall and winter! Brown hues are the new go-to for this iconic look. Gigi Hadid rocked this trend on the Diane Von Furstenberg runway, proving its must-have status.

The brown smokey eye is a top trend for fall and winter 2025. It’s a softer, more wearable alternative to the classic black smokey eye. This look is both alluring and bold, yet subtle enough for daytime wear. It also beautifully complements the autumn color palette. The latest Estée Lauder palette, designed in collaboration with Victoria Beckham (shown below), features ideal shades for achieving this look.

2) Copper Eye

Copper eyes are trending this fall! If you love natural winter makeup but crave a little something extra, this look is perfect. It’s subtle yet shimmery, ideal for transitioning from autumn to winter. Plus, it’s versatile enough to take you seamlessly from daytime to evening.

For achieving this look, consider MAC Amber Lights Eye Shadow. It’s an ideal choice.

3) Peach Eye

Peach eyeshadow is surprisingly trending this autumn! It’s a refreshing change from the typical dark, heavy colors we usually see. This shade offers a lighter, more radiant makeup style compared to other popular fall choices.

Achieving this look requires a quality eyeshadow primer as your initial step. We suggest Mac Prep +Prime 24 hour Eye Base. It provides a flawless, neutral canvas and ensures your peach eyeshadow lasts all day. The goal is a fresh and effortlessly natural appearance.

4) Black and Flick

The classic black flick eyeliner is back! It perfectly complements the popular brown smokey eye and warm copper tones dominating this year’s makeup trends.

Inspiration From the Runway

5) Coloured Eyeliner

Feeling gloomy because of winter? Get inspired by Fendi’s runway looks! A vibrant coloured eyeliner is the ideal way to inject some cheer into your day, even when the weather is dreary.

Achieve this stunning look with various options! Experiment with bold colors like orange, electric blue, or pastel blue for a standout effect. Alternatively, create a subtle look using white eyeliner. This style complements the popular peachy eyeshadow trend beautifully.

6) Pop Art

The ‘Pop Art’ trend, showcased at Chanel and Fendi, complements colored eyeliner beautifully. Expect smoky eyes, vibrant hues, and textured accents below the brows. Eyes are the undisputed focal point in this bold, artistic look.

7) Glitter

Glitter embodies the Christmas spirit, and Tommy Hilfiger seems to agree. His recent runway presentation showcased stylish ways to incorporate glitter into your winter wardrobe.

Coloured Lipstick Trend

Colored lipstick is a major trend for Fall/Winter 2025. It’s a quick and easy way to inject vibrancy into any outfit. This winter, expect to see a departure from solely dark shades. Bright, refreshing makeup looks are making a strong statement on the runways.

8) Purple Lip

Autumn and winter are perfect for making a statement with a bold lip! This season’s must-try trend? Deep red or even black lipstick. The bold lip, showcased at Marc Jacobs, is a modern take on 90’s goth makeup and it’s stunning. Consider investing in Tom Fords’s Violet Fatale for a truly impactful look.

9) Orange Lip

Fendi spearheaded the Pop Art trend this season, and also the vibrant orange lip. Instantly elevate a neutral grey or brown ensemble with a pop of bright orange on your lips. We highly recommend SHU UEMURA Kye sheer colour balm in Orange. Its intense color payoff combined with a balm base ensures your lips stay luscious and hydrated all day long!

10) Red Lip

A red lip is a must-have for the autumn/winter 2025 season! This timeless look is stunning with an all-black ensemble. It’s perfect for both daytime and evening wear. Try Nars Audacious lipstick in Annabella for a stylish choice.

The Best Eye Makeup Trends For Your Eye Colour

Peach and terracotta shades beautifully complement blue eyes. They draw attention to your eyes, making them a stunning focal point. The warm tones enhance your natural eye color. Try a creamy peach eyeshadow for a fresh, vibrant look. We suggest Mac’s Cream Colour Base in Light Beige with Peach. This creamy eyeshadow provides a lovely peachy-beige hue and a dewy, radiant finish.

Electric bright blue is a stunning choice for green eyes. Applying it above your upper lashes instantly draws attention and creates a captivating makeup focal point. The contrasting color beautifully enhances your eyes, making them truly stand out. Try a blue eyeliner, such as L’Oreal Paris Super Liner Midnight. Apply it smoothly across your upper lid, gradually thickening the line towards the outer corners. This not only embraces a top trend of 2025 but also perfectly complements the green in your eyes.

Brown is a versatile neutral. This means most colors complement brown eyes. However, some shades truly enhance them. Like green eyes, bright blue creates a striking contrast. This vibrant color against a darker tone will definitely highlight your eyes.

For a more understated look, consider a gold and beige combination. Start with a beige base. We suggest Mac’s Cream Colour Base in Bronze, layering it halfway up your eyelid. Next, use Mac’s Dazzle Shadow in ‘I like to watch’. With a larger blending brush, lightly dust it over your lids. For a bolder evening style, use a smaller eyeshadow brush. Apply it to your eyelids, concentrating the color on the lower lids and gradually lightening it as you move upwards.

Daytime Looks for Autumn/Winter

As the seasons shift and temperatures fall, remember your skin reacts to the change. During cooler months, consider modifying your daily facial skincare routine.

Choose a lighter foundation for winter, or consider a tinted moisturizer. Heavy foundations can dry out your skin, preventing a smooth finish, especially when it’s already dry. A fantastic tinted moisturizer with excellent coverage is Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer. It offers more coverage than typical tints but remains lighter than foundation. Plus, it includes SPF 30, crucial for skin protection even in winter months.

Eye makeup offers fantastic definition without harming or drying your skin. For a bolder look, opt for beige or gold eyeshadow to create a warm effect. This is ideal for autumn and winter. Enhance your eyes’ sparkle and add a festive touch with Mac’s Dazzle Shadow in ‘I like to watch’.

After applying your makeup, lock it in with a setting spray. Urban Decay’s Chill Cooling Setting Spray remains a top choice in 2025. It prevents smudging and keeps your makeup looking fresh and dewy. This spray is ideal for colder weather and works beautifully on dry and combination skin types.

Our Recommended Hero Products

MAC’s How Royal is essential for fall and winter looks. This versatile product functions as both eyeshadow and eyeliner. Achieve trendy “Pop Art” or “Colored Eyeliner” styles effortlessly. Apply it along the lower lash line with a small eyeshadow brush for a vibrant eyeliner effect.
