It’s time to swap out the summer glow for dramatic hues and bold colours. This fall season, take a cue from these Instagram mavens on how to create the perfect autumnal beauty look.
Femme Fatale
A red lip is always in style, but take a page out of makeup artist Pony’s (@ponysmakeup) beauty book and put a sultry spin on it for a Snow White-worthy, just-bitten pout. Scarlet hues with cooler undertones will look extra flattering on a brighter complexion – just make sure to add a flush to your cheeks so you won’t look washed out.
Tip: You want the focus to be on your lips, so keep the rest of your makeup simple. A sweep of blush and a coat of mascara is enough to complete the look.

Baby Pumpkin Spice
It’s the season of pumpkin spice and everything nice – and there’s no better time to spice up your beauty routine than now. Rather than a full-on monochromatic look, pin-up model Miss Bo (@_missbo) incorporated pops of blue and yellow to play up the peepers. Top it off with a punchy burnt orange lip and of-the-moment space buns for a Baby Spice-approved look!
Tip: Load up on the contour! For extra definition, you can also apply it on your hairline and jawline for an overall sculpted look.

V For Violet
Ultraviolet is having a huge moment this year, thanks to the Pantone folks. Beauty YouTuber Risabae (@risabae_art) updates the look with a subtler take on the royal purple-blue hue, accenting it only in the details. Oh, how about an ultraviolet manicure to add to the mix?
Tip: The secret to looking flawless like Risabae? A good primer that not only locks down makeup, but smoothens out your complexion to create an airbrushed finish.

What’s fall without some dark, vampy lips? Rocking a straight-up gothic look can be a little intimidating. Instead, social media darling Nyané Lebajoa (@nyane) serves us golden goddess vibes with a sunset-inspired look that’s both smouldering and utterly sophisticated.
Tip: If you’re not ready to commit to black lipstick, go for shades with reddish or brown undertones, which are slightly more wearable.
