I'm reporting to you live from the quickest weekend ever. I bought Charlie's costume for Halloween (if you follow me on Snapchat at ellesees, you got a sneak peek). I attended a very late dinner for a friend's birthday, hit up Target for some fall decorations (never enough) and Adam Lippes flats, and was a guest of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. And I also did boring things, like get my recycling ready and break down the boxes I get daily--being a beauty blogger is the best, y'all.
Speaking of beauty, I wanted to share 5 of the hottest beauty trends for this season. Taken from the runway, I've got something for all budgets. Let me know your faves in the comments.
nude nails
- this darker shade of nude brings a fresh look for fall
- Lauren B Beauty has 5 new nude shades for all skin types, including Nude No. 2 ($18)
- drugstore: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Almost Almond
low ponytail
- seen all over the runway, this gives a sleek, sophisticated look that goes with any style
glowy skin
- instead of the heavy, golden glow of summer, try a subtle lit-from-within look
- apply a glowing moisturizer, like MAC Strobe Cream
- tip: buy the travel size
- drugstore: mix a little of Wet N Wild Reserve Your Cabana highlight into your favorite foundation or tinted moisturizer
- see also: 5 fave drugstore products
- metallic lid, especially gold, bring in the autumn hues
- my fave gold is in one of the Buxom Eye Shadow Bar palettes, seen here.
- drugstore: try L'Oreal Infallible 24 eye shadow in Eternal Sunshine
dark lips
- it wouldn't be fall without vampy lips, and the matte finish of liquid lipsticks makes the trend easy to apply
- Try a liquid lipstick, like Anastasia of Beverly Hills in Heathers
- drugstore: NYX new Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Vintage
Which of these fall beauty trends would you try?
Extra Elle:
- so far this fall has been nothing but rain, including last night's moon--I couldn't see anything!
Sorry you missed the supermoon! We missed it too, I had a cranky toddler who was refusing to sleep, looking out the window was the last thing on my mind, haha!
ReplyDeleteI like how many of these trends (probably all of them in fact!) can be tried even in the southern hemisphere, where it's spring at the moment :)

I think I'm so ready for the dark lips. I'm a neutral girl myself, but dark lips....that just sounds right esp with Halloween around the corner:)
ReplyDeleteGreat tips, I love glowy skin but unluckly I'm not good with highlighter...

I was so bummed, we couldn't see any of the moon here either! I'm all about the dewy/glowy skin going into fall when my skin tends to get more on the dry/dull side!
ReplyDeletei'm totally rocking the low pony today (mostly out of laziness) but it is a very chic way to look put together at work! and a dark lip - yes and yes! happy monday!

ReplyDeleteThe metallic eye! I fell in love with this trend after researching for my own fall trends posts and have been wearing it nonstop ever since.

I'm definitely a fan of the low ponies. I'd look like a hot greasy mess with all that glow though!
ReplyDeleteLove dark lips in the fall! And I just purchased some nude nail polish so I am feeling surprisingly on trend! ;)

I love me a good dark lip in the fall! I want to pick up the Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Vintage!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about those vampy lips. We couldn't really see the moon either, East coast and their dumb clouds.
ReplyDeletexo, Carly | carly blogs
I love the glowy skin look and the dark looks. i will be rocking that this Fall for sure. I missed the moon too, though I don't get excited about them either to be honest.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes I 'm sure you get loads of boxes that you have to break down. I love deep lip colours for fall, and I love that glowing look too! <3
ReplyDeleteBack in the Kitchen
I love fall makeup colors!
ReplyDeleteYou went to see ASO? Hope you enjoyed the concert! It's been a while since I've been there.
Give me that glow and a dark lip anytime!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to wear my dark nail polishes and lip colors. I just went to Ulta on my lunch to buy NYX Vintage but they didn't have it.
ReplyDeleteLove all the fall makeup! and that gorgeous glow!

Wanna try the Strobe Cream so bad! Nice Post www.makeupxpressions.com
ReplyDeleteI always use a little luminizer and adore nude polishes and burgundy lipsticks, so it's good to know I am kind of on trend. :D
ReplyDeleteI love rocking a dark lip during the fall time. Have a great week.

Gorgeous trends and great post! I'm looking out for a dark lip stain at the moment but not sure which yet! :D xx

i love the glowy/dewy look. i sometimes mix my benefit highlighter with my moisturizer for this look :)
ReplyDeleteI love nude fingernails! That dark lipstick shade is so pretty, I'm just scared I'll look like a freak since I'm so pale and I wear such a small amount of makeup!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely be busting out 24 Stilettos from my Buxom palette this Fall!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the vampy lip trend! I need to try that NYX shade!

I've been all about the mauve nail lately. Green has been making it's way from time to time as well. But mauve is wear it's at. I can't get enough of the plum/ berry lip. SOOOO wish my hair was longer to rock the long low pony!
ReplyDeleteLove the trends for fall. I'm all in for glowy skin (always) and I'm pushing myself to try darker lips this year. Metallics are also a recent addiction. Loving Mac Tan pigment and MUG foiled shadows. x
ReplyDeleteRenata | Speaking Beauty UK
Yes to each one of these! I love nude nails- they look so clean and such a nice finish all the time. I am also happy with the low ponytail look!
ReplyDeleteMy hair is usually always in a ponytail. I'd like glowing skin, but I'd probably do it wrong and people would wonder if I were sick or something.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the photo of "glowy skin" I wanted to try it! I am a big fan of highlighters, and unfortunately my favorite one fell and broke - it was a mix of colors, so when it broke, it really lost the effect :(

I love dark lips for fall. And nude nails are def a love of mine. I couldn't see the moon last night either, too many clouds!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the look of nude nails :)
ReplyDeleteNude nails are my fav of these! Can't wait to rock those!

I need to try this low sleek pony! I have curly hair, but I do like to straighten it sometimes!
ReplyDeleteCarrie

I like the sleek low pony trend, but my hair is soooo long that I feel like it looks weird on me. Like, there's a rope hanging down my back, haha! Maybe once I cut it, I can try that look out!
ReplyDeleteI love nude nails! I am totally ready to try a bold dark lipstick. I have Revlon Black Cherry, but I want to find a lipstick with more warmth for this fall.
ReplyDeleteNude nails and dark lips... YES TIMES A MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAny tips for receiving a healthy glow even if you have oily skin? That's my struggle but I love the look of it!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about dark lips for me but will certainly embrace the low pony look
ReplyDeleteLove the low pony! Bummer you weren't able to see the moon! I heard lots of people had weather issues and weren't able to see...
ReplyDeleteXo
We had intermittent cloud cover during the supermoon. I kept saying that it was annoying how nature was ruining nature.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try these fall looks but alas, I am the least trendy person on Earth and feel I would do them all wrong. I do love dark lips, though, and a low ponytail so maybe if the husband and I are able to do something for his birthday (mid-October), I'll give it a shot.
These are all great trends! I'm glad that the glowy look is still in. I find it easier for me to pull off in cooler weather when my skin isn't as oily.
