Fall weddings have a special appeal, with their colorful leaves, crisp temps, and intimate coziness. And just like the season changes, so should your bridal makeup! Whether you’re the bride, a bridesmaid, or just a wedding guest, embrace the beauty of autumn with these 10 stunning fall wedding makeup trends to ensure you look picture-perfect on the day.
Copper, bronze, warm browns — earthy shades that mimic the beauty of fall leaves, and add richness to your look. Ooh even a little shimmer on the inner corners for a subtle pop that shines in pictures. Blend it well to give a soft and gradient effect which also pop your eye shape. Pair this look with a subtle liner for a natural finish or lay it on thick with a statement wing for that extra drama.
Dark plum, cranberry or wine-colored lips are a statement trend this season. These daring tones lend a warm yet glitzy feeling, ideal for fall weddings. Choose matte for a luxurious effect or glossy for some depth. To keep attention on your lips, wear neutral eyeshadow and a hit of mascara. Apply a lip liner to outline your lips and avoid feathering.
Timeless smoky eyes take on a seasonal twist with lighter, autumnal shades like charcoal, taupe or aubergine. This trend is perfect for brides who want a makeup look that is effortlessly chic, rather than over-the-top, so they look like themselves on the biggest day of their life. For evening receptions, sprinkle in a few sparkly metallic tones to glam the look up a notch. And remember to blend, blend, blend — a seamless transition between hues is crucial for this classic look.
Autumn light is a golden one, and so should be your glow! Shine up your cheekbones, nose bridge and cupid’s bow with a warm, glowy highlighter; this will impart a sun-kissed finish to skin, no matter when the thermometer drops. For the ultimate fall-inspired glow, opt for highlighters with champagne or golden undertones. Pat on with a damp beauty sponge for a perfect finish, blending with your foundation.
A delicate rose-colored flush resembles the natural color that comes from crisp autumnal air. Peach, mauve or dusty rose hues are best for a romantic forever aesthetic, one that goes with any fall wedding color palette. Cream blushes are especially favored for a dewy finish but powder blushes hold up for long-wear outdoor ceremonies. Dust blush with a light hand on the apples of your cheeks and blend upward toward your temples.
Tamed, natural brows are essential to fall wedding makeup. So define your arches with a brow pencil or powder, then set them with a brow gel to ensure they stay put through the festivities. For a bolder, bushy look, try the feathered brow technique by brushing your brow hairs upward and outward. Well-defined brows can shape and frame the face well and add to your overall look.
Metallic accents are an easy way to add some pizzazz to your outfit. A gold or rose gold eyeshadow, combined with a metallic eyeliner, can add a touch of glam without overpowering your natural beauty. Apply metallic shades sparingly—either on the center of the eyelid or along the lower lash line— for a bold yet understated look. For added drama, team metallics and false lashes.
Stick to one color palette — think warm peach or mauve — that you can apply to the eyes, lips and cheeks. This helps to create a cohesive and modern look that’s understated yet elegant.” Monochromatic makeup is more versatile, it can complement both casual and formal-looking wedding styles. For something different, try mixing textures, such as matte eyeshadow with a glossy lip, all in the same color family.
Skip the heavy fake lashes, and instead go for individual lashes or quality mascara that just enhances your own. The result? A fluttery romantic look that is light and airy looking. Opt for waterproof mascara to prevent running during emotional episodes. Or, if you want more of a dramatic appearance, go for the more voluminous, but still naturallooking wispy lash extensions.
Matte lipstick and foundation are back for fall weddings. They’re well-matched with the cool, crisp air and lasting wear for all-day festivities. Apply only a touch of setting spray to ensure a soft, fresh appearance. Matte finishes also photograph well, assuring that your makeup looks snatched in every picture. For extra depth, match a matte complexion with a shiny lip or a glowy highlight.
