Get The Look
Update your look for autumn with these high street beauty buys to keep you on trend.
Strong lips, graphic eye liner and pops of eye colour featured on the Fall 2021 runways. Metallics, with silver lips and gold shimmers on eyelids, stole the show with a nod back to the ‘90s. Eye liner flicks – more kitten than cat eye - also featured with full lashes, soap brows and dewy skin. In hair, Tom Ford bravely opted for models with ‘70s shags while all manner of mullets made an appearance.
Berry lips are back with peachy terracotta blushes and unexpected eye colours, especially shades of mauve and bright neons.
