With a new season in town, it's time to start transitioning your makeup coverage and be inspired by fall beauty trends.

As the seasons change so do the trends. New York Fashion week was just upon us and we saw the models hit the catwalk with both trendy and avant-garde makeup looks. Based off of the looks of these models and celebrities in attendance, the Interrobang has compiled a list of some makeup trends for fall 2018.

Tinted Brows: Full brows are still in this season. However, we’ve seen more women decide to go a shade lighter or match their natural brow colour. Previously, we saw the trend of people darkening their brows a shade or two from their natural colour. There are many different types of brow products on the market and depending on what you’re looking for, one may be better than another. Brow pencils are a great way to quickly fill in your brows because they are blendable and build-able. However, if you’re looking for something that will also keep your brows in place and have a bit of a sharper look, consider trying a brow pomade. If you’re really in a rush, a tinted brow gel is a great alternative to both a brow pencil and pomade.

Matte Lip: We have seen lips go back and forth to glossy versus matte. If New York Fashion Week had anything to say about it, it’s back to matte. It seems that darker lips are more in style. This ranges from a deep red to a dark plum. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different lip colours and see what you like. When buying matte lipsticks opt for liquid lipsticks since sticks can be hard to get the pigmentation you want. Try to moisturize and exfoliate your lips to keep the lips looking (and feeling) their best.

Bronzer-Blush: Natural cheeks seem to be the trend this fall. Depending on your skin tone you may want to look in to adding a bronzer or blue to your collection. If you have warmer undertones, consider getting a bronzer. Keep in mind bronzer is not great for contouring since it tends to be too warm on the skin. If you have a cooler skin tone a subtle blush is the ticket. Avoid getting product that has shimmer in it.

Smokey brown eye: You can never go wrong with a classic neutral smokey eye. This fall we’ve seen heavier eye makeup to draw more attention to the eyes. Taking that classic neutral smokey eye and darkening up a shade or two adds a subtle edge to your makeup look with barley any effort. Be sure to use matte eye shadows as the crease and outer crease colours. The centre of your lid is great spot to add some shimmer if you want. Play around with your eye shape to figure out placement of shadows.

Eyeliner (smudged or liquid liner with small wing): Bolder eyeliner has been big for a while now. However, there seems to be a change in tides that is shifting for a more subtle look. Many are using a black pencil liner then smudging the lines to add to the smokey eye look. For those in love with wing liner, all hope is not lost. While winged liner is still in, it seems that the wings are getting shorter and thinner.
