12 Fall Makeup Looks We Want To Try ASAP
From colored lashes to neon liner, summer 2020 was all about bold and bright makeup. I had my fair share of fun experimenting with all of summer's vibrant beauty trends, but I'm excited that fall has arrived, and darker makeup looks will be making their return. When fall rolls around, beauty influencers, makeup artists, and celebrities alike always pop out on Instagram with the most fire smoky eyes and berry-colored lipsticks. To help us freshen up our makeup looks this season, I scrolled endlessly through the 'gram to find the most stunning fall beauty looks.
Whether you're into plum lipstick or olive eyeshadow, all of the beauty inspo you need for the next few months is all right here. Keep scrolling for 12 fall-ready makeup looks from some of the most bomb beauty bloggers.
Bomb Berry Lewk
Every time Nyma Tang drops a selfie on my IG feed, I immediately have to double-tap. Tang always delivers a flawless beat, and this berry-inspired look is no exception. For her glossy lip, Tang applied the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color ($29) in "Blackcherry" on the lips and Pat Mcgrath Labs' OpuLUST Lip Gloss in "Lavendaring" ($30).
Warm Earthy Tones
Nothing screams fall more than brown and gold hues, right? The shimmery eyeshadow and matte lip are the perfect pair with this look.
Brown Gloss and Shimmer
I can't decide which I love more...the glittery eyeshadow or the glossy brown lip. All I know is Shalom Blac looks so good, and I want to try this look ASAP.
A Green and Brown Slay
Beauty content creator Ari Jane Parker did not come to play with this look. Parker's olive green eyeshadow is blended to perfection, and her glossy brown lip is the perfect finishing touch. And if you were wondering, the influencer's lashes are from her own mink lash brand, Ari Jane Beauty.
Cool Jewels
It's the jewels for me. Teaira Walker made her look pop by swiping on a vivid yellow liner and placing bling around her eyes.
Glitter Glam
One word to describe this look? Fire. From her sunset-inspired eyeshadow to her glittery orange lipstick, this whole look is fall-ready.
Everyday Smoky Eye
You can never go wrong with a sultry, smoky eye. Beauty influencer Allyiah's take on the eyeshadow look strikes a beautiful balance between super glam and every day, and it's definitely something I'd love to recreate.
Orange Liner
Editorial makeup artist Jaleesa Jaikaran clearly knows how to have fun with color. Here, Jaikaran used orange eyeliner to create a captivating design on her lids.
Glossy Lids
This glossy lid is it. Orange eyeshadow is a perfect choice for the season, and Desiree pulled it off flawlessly. To create her colorful eye look, she used shades from the Gurl Meets Makeup Gloomy Palette ($30) and topped it off with Ashley Lee Cosmetics' Lip Gloss Treatment ($3) in Grape.
A Whole Purple Moment
Fall is the time to pull out your darker lipsticks. I'm obsessed with @ohitsbreee's deep purple lip and the way she incorporated the color into her eyeshadow. For her lip, she used MAC Cosmetics Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour in "Uniformly Fabulous" ($22) and the MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil in "Nightmoth".
Bold Blue and Green Liner
Jewel tones are always a winner. Our little sis in our head Marsai Martin made the trend her own by wearing an emerald green liner on her lid and a sapphire liner around her waterline.
Monochromatic Reds
This look is red hot, pun intended. For her monochromatic look, beauty blogger Diana Jay used the MAC Cosmetics Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour ($24) in "Make Love To The Camera". On her eyes, she applied a variety of MAC Cosmetics Powder Kiss Soft Matte Eye Shadows ($20), including Strike a Pose, What Clout, Give a Glam, Devoted To Chili, and Werk, Werk, Werk.

Crystal Renay Is Prioritizing Healing, Her Kids, And Her Coins Amid Divorce
Crystal Renay is reclaiming her time and her identity after dealing with heartbreak. The model was married to Ne-Yo for seven years and they share three young children together. However, after a cheating scandal that resulted in a baby outside of their relationship, Crystal decided to end her marriage to the “So Sick” singer. Now, she is focusing on her bag and her kids. She is co-owner of Johnny’s Chicken and Waffles, launching a lip kit line, and is back on TV starring in the new WE TV reality series Bold & Bougie.
But it wasn’t an easy road, especially with reality TV. From the beginning, Crystal and her castmates bumped heads due to misconceptions and alliances with her ex-husband’s former partner, Monyetta Shaw. However, the mother of three exclusively tells xoNecole that she doesn’t regret her decision to join the show.

“Honestly, being in that space, we had a– you know, when you're first getting to know people, sometimes it can be smooth, and sometimes it can be rocky,” she says. “In our case, it was a little bit rocky and just getting to know each other, and I like to call it growing pains. And I felt like we had a couple of moments, but all in all, like the experience was really good for me, and I would do it over again.”
Crystal describes herself as “career-oriented” and says she is in her selfish season because she is now prioritizing herself first. But she admits that she is still healing from her divorce. The reality TV star shares some tips for others who may be going through the same thing.
“I would definitely say pray, pray as much as you can. Try to take your emotions out of your reactions to things because it’s always going to be something that you don't like in the situation,” she says. “But we can't move off of emotion because 10 times out of 10, a few months later, you're not going to feel like that. So, I'm a firm believer in not doing things that I will regret later. So I would just say be patient with yourself and stay positive.”
While there may be an opportunity to find love again, that’s not Crystal’s focus at the moment. She is in the rebuilding phase of her life, emphasizing the importance of self-care, personal growth, and finding her own happiness. She has had her share of challenges, including dealing with negative emotions and the public's perception of her, but her priorities involve spending quality time with her children and running lucrative businesses.
“I would definitely say pray, pray as much as you can. Try to take your emotions out of your reactions to things because it’s always going to be something that you don't like in the situation.”
“With my kids, I'm very hands-on. I’m team mother with soccer kids, and they don't really make no goals because they like five years old, but I'm there cheering them on every week,” she jokes. “I want to travel, especially this summer, with my kids and take them somewhere internationally because they're at the age where they can handle a long flight. So, me just spending more time and more new experiences with my kids is my main focus with them and showing them all the love that I could possibly give them.”
