Autumn 2021 beauty trends

Living in a post-pandemic world has made us wonder whether trends even exist? From fashion to beauty, we’ve had to adjust. We’re moving away from hard and fast beauty and make-up trends and focusing on key features while keeping our skin in tip-top condition. Season after season. Here are the key tips to follow for autumn 2021.

Skin deep 

With juggling life and work, the main thing that has suffered the most has been our skin. The hustle and bustle of this new world, we now call normal and having to wear a mask all day – maskne anyone? – has left us feeling insecure and ashamed of our skin. 

So we’re taking a step back and relooking at the fundamentals of what beauty is and what beauty means to us these days.  

Skincare is the foundation for a flawless and younger-looking you. Dehydration and irritated skin has us down in the dumps. Let’s start by getting perfectly prepped skin and with a few products, you will have a great foundation to start building beautiful autumn 2021 make-up looks.

The buzz word currently on all beauty influencers’ tongues around the globe this season is hyaluronic acid. This active ingredient is magic in a bottle. It acts as a moisture magnet by instantly plumping fine lines and giving the skin a smoother texture while giving an even more radiant and glowy look. Now, who wouldn’t want that?

Fresh take

Natural-looking make-up is still a big trend this season. Whether we’re dressing it up or down, we are still trying to replicate perfect skin with the “no-make-up, make-up look” by trying to keep our skin as smooth and as radiant as possible. This has now started filtering into eye make-up by giving you the blurred-out effect. 

Considering the shape of your eye, the key to achieving this is with the placement of your eyeshadow and then blending it out almost into nothing, ultimately giving you that effortless blown-out appearance. We are trying to capture the natural beauty by mimicking a soft-focus point, thus giving our make-up a “real-life” feel.  

Eyeshadow sponges are out and brushes are in. Try using this combo to achieve your next eye look.

Now that we have mastered natural day-time looks let’s kick it up a notch and play with more colour, shimmer and drama.

Disco diva

Wondering how to take your look from zero to hero in just five minutes? Luckily for you, due to the pandemic, standout eye-make-up is having a moment. Breaking away from perfection and the perfect cut creases, there will be no more hard edges and hours spent trying to balance out your liquid eyeliner. Glam up your look with saturated and bold colours – inspired by the 70s and 80s – by building on an existing eye look and layering product to create texture as well as giving the eye some dimension. This can be achieved with either a foiled or shimmer (glitter) eye shadow. The idea is just to layer it on – and don’t worry, even if it’s messy it’s not meant to look perfect.

Blue crush

Over the past few years, we have adopted and loved iconic 90s beauty looks from celebrities. One that stood out and was considered the most outrageous was Angelina Jolie and her blue eyeshadow. From lids to brows, it was layered on. And since we’re wearing a mask all day, every day, it really is the moment to play with eyeshadows and liners. 

For day-to-day wear, take a softer approach and give this look a more misty, everyday appearance by blending the edges making it look and feel more romantic and whimsical.
