As the leaves turn and the air crisps, it’s
time to embrace the chic sophistication of autumn with makeup trends that
celebrate soft glam, bold accents and effortless polish.
Harper’s
Bazaar has noted a “renaissance of the eye shadow”, where matte cream formulas,
metallic shades, smoky eyes and pastel colours on the lids have surfaced as the
top trends for the past autumn/winter 2025 runway shows.

Revlon’s national makeup artist, Lucoh
Mhlongo, shares top trends to help you transition your look
for the cooler months ahead.
1. Flawless matte skin
Soft matte skin continues to dominate the
runway and real life. A clean, perfected base is nonnegotiable. Think
breathable, buildable coverage that lasts.
2. Sartorial shadows – Let the eyes speak
This season, eyes are all about elegance and tailoring – think structured shadows in earthy tones with hints of navy or deep burgundy. Blendable, buildable eyeshadows are key to achieving that elevated look.
3. Pink cheeks
A flush of petal pink on the cheeks keeps
the complexion youthful and radiant.
4. Glossy lids, glossy lips
This season, gloss goes beyond the pout.
Glossy lids are having a moment, too. It’s all about sheen, shine and a fresh,
dewy finish.
5. Brushed-up brows and natural, defined
arches
Brows are brushed up and beautifully
defined for autumn – not overly sculpted but groomed and filled.
6. Dainty nails with soft, romantic tones
This season’s nail mood is short, rounded
nails in muted pinks, taupes, and earthy tones.
