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.

Kingdom Business is back for its second season, with even more sermons, songs, and serpents. The series picks up where it left off, with actress Serayah as Rbel caught between the stripper pole and the pulpit. With the first lady of the church working desperately against her, Rbel must find a way to live her dreams and honor her friend while figuring out her faith in the process.
Season one served a collection plate of rivalry, deceit, and revenge –– among many other tribulations. Between the 28-year-old’s acting, conviction, and harmonious voice, here are a few reasons why season two of Kingdom Business is a must-watch.
If the Spirit Doesn’t Move You, Serayah’s Singing Voice Will
Rbel, formally known as Rebecca Belle, is a stripper whose life forcibly takes a turn after suffering a tragedy. Through her quest to find the truth, Rbel finds herself at odds with the head of a local church, First Kingdom’s Denita Jordan, played by the legendary Yolanda Adams. Rbel unknowingly emerges as what a faithful Christian embodies: a perfectly imperfect human who works every day to try their best while leaning on God. Although struggling with her faith, each ballad sung by Rbel can be felt, as the lyrics relate to personal struggles we all endure in different ways. Gospel songs hit differently when your life is in shambles, and chile, Serayah is singing new life into folks.
Serayah is a Formidable Opponent to The Yolanda Adams
As one of the best-selling gospel artists of all time, it’s no easy task to take on the role of a person on the opposing side of greatness. Serayah’s Rbel does an excellent job meeting Jordan at her level while shining through her solos. Throughout season one, Rbel emerges as a top streaming artist, an accomplishment that begets something of a holy war.
Serayah’s Acting Range is Engaging
As a former stripper trying to make a name for herself in the gospel industry, you can imagine the struggles that could come with it. Rbel goes through a range of emotions, all understandable and relatable. Despite several crises of faith, Serayah ensures Rbel delivers a humbling performance that makes the audience root for her redemption.
The Kingdom Business Soundtrack is Everything
Streaming now on Spotify, Tidal, and Apple Music, the Kingdom Business: Season 1 soundtrack is one you’d want to add to your playlist for high and low times. Aside from four soul-soothing songs from Serayah, the soundtrack also features singles from co-star/Hamilton’s Chaundre-Hall Broomfield, gospel artist Chandler Moore, and legend Yolanda Adams.
Serayah’s Rbel Makes You Root For Her
With First Kingdom beginning to crumble under the pressure of lies, infidelity, and deception, Rbel’s window to take that top spot seems wide open; however, the end of season one showed us the Spirit had other plans. Whether you believe or not, Serayah’s Rbel makes you want to see her win. Who doesn’t love a good underdog with a laid 22” bust down? Whether she seeks Him or not, God is proving to be on Rbel’s side. But is it enough to turn everything around for her? Will Rbel lean on faith or fear?
With secrets coming to light, success within reach, and the devastating conclusion of season one, you don’t want to miss season two––especially with more guest collaborations. Kingdom Business returns to BET+ on Nov 2.

Nia Long On Her Final Decision To Leave Ime Udoka: 'Loving Myself Was Bigger And More Important Than Saving Anybody'
Jeezy has been pulling out all the stops for the promo of his new album I Might Forgive…But I Don’t Forget. The iconic rapper tapped legendary actress Nia Long for an intimate conversation about love, trauma, and the Black family. The discussion provided insight into the “All There” rapper’s childhood, strained relationship with his mother, who has since passed, and his career mishaps. He also briefly spoke on his decision to file for divorce from Jeannie Mai, saying that he feels “saddened,” “disappointed,” and “uneasy” about it. However, he believes that God is leading him on a different path.
Throughout the conversation, Nia also opened up about her life experiences, including her relationship with her father, her sons, and her ex-fiancé Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka.
“You know I had a really public breakup recently. It was a wake-up call for me in the sense that, like ok, you’re gonna do this on your own, and you’re gonna be fine, and you’re not gonna worry about what anyone thinks and has to say ‘cause the relationship was rocky for a very long time,” she said. “I don’t believe that another person can break anyone up like, I just don’t buy that.
When Ime was the Boston Celtics head coach, he was caught having an affair with a staffer and was suspended for the 2022-2023 season. This suspension ultimately led to his firing. However, the cheating scandal led to the public rallying behind The Best Man actress, which the mother of two revealed she was “shocked” by.
“I had to realize for myself that anything that happened in the…last year and a half of my life, that shit didn’t have nothing to do with me,” she expressed. “It didn’t have nothing to do with me. I was not embarrassed. The way that Black people stood up for me and the way that Black women were like, ‘Oh no, you don’t do that to her,’ I was shocked because I didn’t realize that what I had done or what I’ve done in my career had so much impact.”
While she did admit that things between her and Ime had been “rocky” for a long time, she was trying her best to make things work. But she soon learned that choosing herself was the best option. “I think my older son saw me trying to keep the family together, but I had to come to a place where loving myself was bigger and more important than saving anybody.”
While time has passed and both parties have seemed to move on with their lives, we all have our down days. Jeezy checked in with Nia to see how she’s truly feeling since the breakup and the scandal that followed. “I think I’m exactly where I need to be, which is some days I’m like totally good, and other days I’m like, oh God, this feels like so much work. And other days, it feels like women shouldn’t have to be this strong,” she said, tearing up. “I don’t want to be this strong sometimes.”
The former couple were together for 13 years and share a 12-year-old son together. Nia also has a 22-year-old son from a previous relationship.
