This year's trends are seen as more accessible and easier to recreate than in previous years. Among the standout trends this season are lip gloss lids, which involve applying a thin layer of clear gloss on an opalescent shadow. Experts suggest using a glitter pot for those sensitive to texture.
Hair styling has also taken a dramatic turn, with a clear message from runways: any kind of hair parting is out. Stylists have gone to great lengths to disguise visible parts, opting for slicked-back styles or teased looks to maintain a unified aesthetic.
Eyeliner is set to redefine makeup for the upcoming year, taking center stage where blush had previously dominated. Makeup looks included various styles such as inner corner accents and traditional cat eyes, with a push towards colorful experimentation—gilded and neon shades are now preferred over classic black.
Low ponytails have made a comeback, reflective of a chic aesthetic reminiscent of the Olsen twins. Beauty Director Hannah Baxter advocates this trend, signaling a more polished and layered look epitomized by stars at the 2026 Emmys.
Interestingly, the no-mascara makeup trend emerged, promoting a fresh look that pairs a red lip with a glowing complexion and curled lashes, even without mascara. If desired, a touch of Vaseline can be applied for a natural finish.
Finally, nail designs are shifting to longer, pointier almond shapes, moving away from the short square styles. Fall colors are anticipated to include earth tones alongside more vibrant shades like cobalt blue and rich purple.
