3 Delicious Makeup Trends You’ll Want To Eat Up

If you have an appetite for beauty trends, you’re going to love the latest looks to be gracing runways at Fashion Week for the fall season. You’ve got to have a sweet tooth to appreciate these styles, as they require specific ingredients to pull them of. Here are three of the yummiest looks and the products you’ll need to achieve them. —Jennifer Cox

Latte Makeup

Just in time for autumn comes the warmth and comfort of a barista-made latte in makeup form. That’s right: your Starbucks order just became your beauty regime, with a palette of varying shades of beige and brown. These aren’t the neutrals of decades past but are more muted, subtle, and sophisticated.

Get this look: Glossier’s Monochromes Essential Eyeshadow Trio ($30, available at Sephora Canada) has three buildable talc-free finishes: matte, satin, and metallic, so you can whip up the perfect custom look. For lips, get the Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil in Nude Brown from Rare Beauty ($30). This innovative lip jelly transforms into a lightweight oil, starting off glossy and then leaving lips tinted while staying comfortable (never sticky) all day long. Apply one of the sticks from Attitude’s Oceanly Makeup Sun-kissed Kit ($90) to cheeks. Lightweight and easy to apply, it’ll give your face a natural glow.

Strawberry Girl

As delicious as summer’s ripest strawberries, the “strawberry girl” trend lives up to its sweet name because it’s all about using hues of pinks and reds. Its makeup is light, dewy and soft, with an emphasis on rosy cheeks. It’s a fun way to bring the lightness and playfulness of summer right into fall.

Get this look: Benefit Cosmetics’ WANDERful World Silky-Soft Powder Blush ($42, available at Sephora Canada) is a buildable, blendable blush that feels ultrafine and weightless, and gives a soft-focus, airbrushed effect. The Cheek Clapper from One Size Beauty ($38) has three pink parts: a versatile flex cream to underpaint and overpaint, a full impact matte with buildable intensity, and a hyper sheen for a seamless finish. For pretty strawberry lips, there’s Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss ($11, available at Jean Coutu), which is infused with hyaluronic acid and naturally-derived antioxidants for instant hydration as well as supple and healthy-looking lips.

Donut Glaze

What’s the best part about a glazed donut? The shiny, sweet glaze, of course! Thanks to social media hype, the new “donut glaze” makeup trend is all about looks with lots of dewy, glowy sheen. The difference is, this movement is about skincare and makeup, and fostering a healthy complexion that radiates from the inside out.

Get this look: Swipe Elf Cosmetics’ Monochromatic Multi Stick in Dazzling Peony ($6) across cheekbones, eyelids, or lips. This unique cream-to-powder blush stick delivers a highly blendable kiss of colour anywhere you put it. The Light Glazed Skin Sheer Finishing Powder from Melt Cosmetics ($39) comes in six unique shades that can be used on top of foundation or worn alone. The soft focus finish blurs pores, fine lines and wrinkles, and gives a radiant glow for more fresh looking skin. A delectable finishing touch is Innbeauty’s Cookie Glaze Lip Oil ($17). It’s a juicy, nourishing lip oil that gives you soft, plump, and deliciously glossy looking lips. It also comes in other fun flavours like Fruity Cereal, Merlot, and Candy Apply.
