Beauty Trends: Red Lips And Flushed Cheeks Were All Over Milan Fashion Week

In Milan, runways showcase effortless beauty trends for the festive season ahead.

The Italian fashion capital is setting the tone for fall beauty, with minimalist eyes, vivid lips, and ever-so-slightly pink cheeks. It’s a return to classic techniques of application, where simplicity and ease reign supreme. Surprisingly, the three makeup trends made rounds in some of the biggest shows, seamlessly blending in with fuzzy frocks at Jil Sander all the way to creamy coordinates at Bally.

Scroll to see how you can wear the trends separately—or all at once for an autumnal everyday look.

No Flicks Zone

Who knew we’d fall in love with non-winged eyeliner again? Certainly the makeup artists at Bally, Giorgio Armani, and Moschino, whose hands simply followed the curves of the eyes, and withheld the tail end flick. For a runway-ready face, flaunt the trend with dramatic lashes, bronze lids, and glossy lips.

Red Hot

Crimson lips never went out of style, but the fall spotlight shines bright on a festive cherry red—right in time for the upcoming holiday season. Milan runways suggest the French way to wear the hue: with as little other makeup as possible, pulling all eyes straight to the lips.

Kinda Cheeky

Rounding up the week’s beauty trends is a complementary third: a washed-out flush. Whether you reach for a barely-there peach à la Bally or a dewy mauve as seen in Giorgio Armani, the subtle add-on infuses an elegant warm flush, sure to flatter all skin tones.
