Autumn is almost upon us, and I’m so ready for cosy days spent wandering around my place with a hot chocolate in hand. When the new season rolls around, I always look forward to getting out all of my favourite jumpers, cardigans and jackets and switching up my wardrobe, and I make sure to do this with my beauty products too.

From my skincare routine to my hair colour and even my autumn pedicure colour, there are lots of things that I like to chop and change. However, one thing I struggle with the most is my Makeup. In summer, I tend to favour lightweight foundation formulas, and often skip lipstick and mascara all together. But, when autumn arrives, I’m never too sure how to transition my makeup into the new season, which is why I like to be ahead of the game when it comes to the latest trends so I know exactly what products to use.

Therefore, I took it upon myself to reach out to none other than Dior Makeup Pro Artist, Jamie Coombes, to find out what looks we can expect to see everywhere this season. From big brows to berry cheeks, it’s safe to say that I am very excited to give these trends a go, and I’ve rounded up all of the information on each one below.

“Autumn 2023 makeup will see a goth punk vibe,” says Coombes. “Think intense eyes, with an unpolished black or dark brown smokey eye, paired with a soft matte complexion and nude lips.”

If you don’t want to go heavy on the eye makeup, why not opt for a statement lip instead? As explained by Coombes, “This season will be all about the statement lip – deep lip liner shades with contrasting highly pigmented deep red lipstick shades to create an intense but also ‘vamp-punk’ version of the 90’s lip trend.”

Now this is a trend that I can definitely get on board with, as it allows me to keep my eyebrows as bushy as I desire. “This is an effortless look created by brushing up the brows,” says Coombes. “I recommend filling in the gaps with a precise brow pencil and fixing the brow hair using a tinted or clear brow gel.”

If you’ve been on social media lately, then you’ll definitely have come across the trend known as ‘strawberry girl summer’. Hailey Bieber has been sharing lots of snaps on Instagram with berry-coloured cheeks and lips, and Coombes says that this trend will be big for autumn. “Think contoured cheeks in cool berry shades. Take your blush and lightly swipe it in a c-shape application from temple to cheek.”

If you know me, then you’ll know that I love glowy, radiant skin, so I was very happy to hear that this trend is here to stay this autumn. “Use lightweight base products to create the effect of a natural, glowing complexion,” says Coombes. “This luminous, no makeup makeup look can be achieved with intensely hydrated skin and sheer foundation.”
