September/October 2018 - 46 ISSUE
Forget the deep bronze of the summer, girls – the fall 2018 makeup trends are all about peachey taupe shades. In keeping with the natural mood of the season, designers gently warmed up models’ faces with earthy tones. Not quite tan and not quite pink, the best shade of the season was a warm peach.
At Stella Jean, flawless porcelain skin was warmed up with a doll pink shade.
At Vivetta, the blush was deep pink and playfully bold – just layer your regular light blush to create this rosy effect. At Balmain, a fresh-faced dewy look was paired with a gentle dose of peachey blush. The result was a healthy and slightly warmed up complexion.

#5/ BLACK EYELINER
Since the days of Cleopatra black eyeliner, or kohl, if you will, has been as consistent a go-to as you can get in the beauty world. Black eyeliner is the red lipstick of the peepers and for good reason.
It can be classic, sophisticated, understated. And on the other hand, it is raucous, seductive, provocative. It represents both the yin and yang of beauty and can be integrated into a range of looks, charting the spectrum from daring to dainty. For the fall/ winter 2018-2019 makeup trends, black eyeliner was able to give expression to this full range of characteristics. Designers used a simple line to define the eyes in the subtlest of looks, while others painted the eyes with thick helpings of the stuff. From liquid to gel to pencil, all consistencies were a go – as long as they were deep midnight black.

Black eyeliner needn’t be aggressive or bold. We loved the gently smokey smudged under-eye liner at 3.1 Phillip Lim. It popped stunningly against the models’ blue eyes. At Christian Dior, the liner was thick and purposeful, with room around the waterline for a white illuminating shade. At Sonia Rykiel, the kohl was dark, and the effect was seductive.
