Autumn Make-up Trends

Some makeup trends change slowly over time (think thin eyebrows to thick) yet some we see every year (smoky eyes and bold lips), and some trends are unique to each season.

Here we look at the trends for autumn/winter 2014

The place to discover the next season’s beauty trends is backstage at shows like London Fashion Week. Hair and make-up artists create looks that will define the season. It’s often necessary to modify these looks to incorporate them into your everyday make-up routine as some can be pretty bold!

Eyes are the focus for this autumn, and full brows and voluminous lashes are set to be big news.

Four key trends hit the runway:

Metallic Effects

Metallic colours can be a bit much for everyday wear, but there are some products which can be used to add touches of metallic to create a look suitable for both day and evening.

24 carat gold dust – This multi-tasking product will allow you to take your metallic look as far as you want. Apply it to cheeks, eyes and lips for a delicately gilded look. Mix it with a moisturiser for the décolletage or into your favourite hair product for luminous locks!

Mystikols – Mystikols are a totally new kind of eyeliner and highlighter. With metallic undertones, they come in a range of colours, including aquamarine and amethyst, making them great for another of this season’s trends, bold colours.

Eyeliner was a key feature on the runways, showcased on very natural, nude faces. Whether you’re creating a heavy smoky eye, a soft variation or a sleek winged effect, creating definition is important.

The Jane Iredale range we stock at Euphoric includes a number of eyeliner formulations to help you achieve your desired look:  

Mystikols – this eyeliner and highlighter creates definition around the eye, making it ideal for creating a smoky eye effect.

Liquid Eyeliner – liquid eyeliner is great for creating strong, sharp lines. This product has a strong colour and real staying power, and the fine brush is ideal for a sleek winged effect.

Eye Pencils – Jane Iredale eye pencils are so soft they won't pull on delicate skin and are a great option for creating a soft line. Natural pigments give you long-lasting colour that stays put.

Jelly Jar Eyeliner - whether you want to create a precise or smudged line, these inky products let you define your eyes just as you please.

Bold colours

This autumn it’s all about pushing the boundaries with colour and bold colours were used to create statement eyes. To adapt the runway look, use brighter colours to line the eyes rather than over the whole eye area. Mauve is a great shade for autumn and easy purples and greens allow you to keep up with the season’s trends in a more subtle way.

Berry Lips and Bold Brows


Make-up becomes richer in the winter and berry lips always feature. The runways saw them teamed with bold brows for this season; your eyebrows are one of your most important features so pay some extra attention to them!

When creating this look, skin should be flawless and don’t be afraid to add colour to the brow. The Bitty Brow Kit is a take-anywhere must-have with three brushes, transparent botanical brow wax and pigmented brow powder.

To complete your statement eyes, don’t forget your lashes. Lashings of mascara will create definition or why not opt for lash extensions?

Clumpy, clogged mascara, applied by Pat McGrath, was the focus of the Prada make-up, applied generously on both top and bottom lashes.
Lucia Pieroni made eyes the centre of attention at Rochas, adding false lashes on both the top and bottom.
