Read on to know the latest 2018 fall makeup looks and trends :
BLUE BLOCK
Easily established as the one of the most imitated trends of the season, the lush aqua patch is pretty easy to attain tbh. You’re going to need on a pigmented blue shadow pen, your debit card and a tinted lip balm. Place your card on your lids, draw out a sleek rectangle with the pen tip and fill it all the way for that alluring blue patch across your lids. Safe to say that the blue block is now just a block away.

BARE SHEEN
Let’s take a moment to talk about Kim K. Tch, ’cause she be still killing it honey. Mrs. West invented the flesh-colored lippie. The American reality star was photographed recently with glossy bare lips to let us know that they’re still super in, so invest time into finding your perfect nude lipstick. Slap on your nude formula and dab on some shine with some clear gloss and you’re done. Plus, you can wear this to work, and watch those heads turn.

WHITE FELINE
Sure, we might not have those glittering hazel eyes that Bella Hadid flaunts literally all over our news feed, but that’s not going to stop us from trying the white eyeliner trend ASAP, right? To make this happen, you need a heavy-duty white liquid liner. Swipe it on just as you would a classic winged flick. Pair this with a peach stained mouth and minimal base to allow this beautiful Fall trend take center stage.

METALLIC ACCENTS
Going one step further from traditional tear duct highlighting, the silver mermaid smear is just something every millennial is ridiculously obsessed with. Its bright and shimmery, but not obnoxious. To not cross the line with this trend, make sure you get a creamy silver pencil to draw out your inner corners and follow that up with a moon shade highlighter for that mystical glow. It passes off as a daytime or nighttime look, so try it on a one of those loooong days filled with plans in the evening.

SUPER BASE
There’s literally nothing more satisfying that a good polished base (and a Sunday married to Netflix of course). That said, since Fall is all about a healthy canvas, we’re going to tell you how to fake perfect skin the right way. After you moisturize, spread on a light primer and a light-weight foundation to prevent the formula from catching in peach fuzz. Pair this look with some intense boy brows and a muted lip and you’re going look like a super model off duty.

BLOTTED LIP
No, you don’t need to get your eyes checked. That blurry lip tint is a 100% intentional. Blotted lips are taking over the runways right when we entered 2018 and is definitely standing tall this fall. To slay this trend, slap on matte berry-red lipstick. Follow this up by using a cotton swab dipped in translucent powder to erase the outline of your lips. Seal this process by tapping on some concealer around the perimeter of your mouth till it turns to a beautiful hazy stain. The result is to die for.
