Fall 2021 was another truly unique season as the industry adapts to the pandemic. What remained constant, besides dreamy clothes, was all the makeup inspiration. The best part? Most of the latest makeup trends are actually wearable IRL.
The eyes definitely had it this season with elongated, sweeping shapes reigning supreme. Black was by far the favored shade. But a subdued, nouveau grunge color palette of plums, grays and greens also proved popular. Lipsticks fell squarely into two camps. A muted mouth that allowed the aforementioned statement eyes to really shine and a classic red lip. The latter was often seen in a candy apple red that looks as good on the runways as it would on Zoom.
