5 Fall Beauty Trends to Try Right Now
Long Island pros are embracing these must-try trends this season.
Fall is in full swing, and we can clearly see which trends are dominating the season. From lips to lashes to nails, the looks taking over right now are cool, modern, and totally wearable. These five trends are showing up all over the Long Island Beauty Scene, and we’re sharing some of our favorite examples. Whether you’re looking for a subtle update or a bold new look, there’s something here for everyone.
1. Berry Lips
Berry lips are everywhere this fall. The look work on every skin tone because berry shades hit that sweet spot between warm and cool. The hues can range from soft and pinky—like this rosy berry lip by makeup artist Liz Kaiser—to a rich and vampy plum or wine. No matter which shade you choose, a berry lip instantly makes any look feel current and put-together.
2. Tightlined Eyes
Subtle but striking, tightlining has quickly become one of fall’s most talked-about eye techniques. By lining the waterline, it makes lashes look fuller and eyes more defined without a heavy liner or wing. It’s subtle but noticeable, making eyes pop, whether you’re going minimal or full glam—like this look by makeup artist Evangeline Napoli.
Soft Smoky Eyes
The smoky eye is a fall staple, but this season it gets a softer, cooler update. Soft gray and charcoal shadows replace bold black for a slightly softer look that still adds definition, as seen in this smoldering eye by makeup artist Mercedes Iregbulem. It’s flattering for all eye colors and works equally well for daytime or evening. Pair gray eyes with a neutral lip or a berry tone for a modern look.
The Bob
The bob is back in a big way this fall. From salons to social feeds to Hollywood A-listers, it seems like everyone is making the chop. Whether you go sleek and polished or layered and textured like the look below by hairstylist Jamie Damm at Hairstories in Babylon, it’s a versatile cut that works with natural hair or a quick blowout—and always feels modern without being fussy.
Short Nails
After many seasons of long extensions, short nails are having a moment this fall. The look feels clean and effortless while still giving you room to play with colors, finishes, or nail art. Deep reds, chocolate browns are popular color choices, but the real trend is all about embracing a shorter, easy-to-wear length. Check out this fall French on fingertip-length nails created by Farmingdale-based nail pro Destiny McCann.
