We're diving face first into the top fall 2022 makeup trends and are sharing our favorite pro-approved products to achieve the look, but first, we have some big news to share!

Now, back to the top makeup trends we're seeing for Fall 2022:

The Top 5 Makeup Trends for Fall 2022 Include:

  • Imprecise eyeliner
  • All cream everything
  • Bold pops of color on the inner corner of the eye
  • "I Barely Care" Makeup
  • Elongated Cat Eye + The Updated Graphic Eyeliner Trend

Previously known as "lived in eyeliner", this trend amps up the look with thicker, sultrier liner. If you're looking to rock the imprecise eyeliner look, reach for a long-wearing formula like best selling Make Up For Ever Aqua Resist Smoky Shadow Color Sticks or Smashbox Always On Gel Liner so you can wear this look without worrying about it smudging or smearing. Simply apply to the lashline and use a smudger brush to diffuse the makeup to achieve your desired look.

If you prefer a kohl eyeliner, Jillian Dempsey's formula delivers intense color and a built-in smudger to add a dramatic look to your eyes.

Cream formulas have always been on our radar, but they're enjoying extra time in the spotlight this season. Cream-based products melt into your skin to look Camera Ready without getting cakey and are ultra-flattering on complexions with fine lines and wrinkles.

If you're looking for a face brightening shade that will give you a healthy glow, the new Melt Cosmetics Cream Blushlights in shade Pinched will give you a watermelon pink flush while also delivering a pearlescent glow. Multi-use Cream Blushlights can also be applied to the lips (and some can be used on the eye!), and who doesnt love a multi-purpose product!

Other multi-tasking cream-based options with organic ingredients are Jillian Dempsey's Lid Tints and Cheek Tints. Infused with shea butter, they'll provide a dewy hydrating glow that can be worn anywhere on the face and body.

Other Best Selling Cream Makeup includes:

Give the inner eye a lift with an unexpected burst of eye-catching color. This trend replaces the usual lighter shade of shadow on the inner corner with a bold jewel tone, pastel, or even a pearlescent or multichrome shade.

From new arrivals like the BFF4EVR Kimchi X Trixie MVPalette and Petites Mattes Editorial Brights to Jason Wu Beauty Flora 4 Eyeshadow Palette, you have endless possibilities to take your eye look from subtle to sultry with the pat of your makeup brush.

PRO Tip: To stay on trend, try using a shade of blue because it's been spotted on the runways for numerous fashion houses.


"I Barely Care Makeup" is the amped up version of the Clean Girl Makeup Trend that features a natural, fresh-faced look that looks easy and effortless. This new trend takes it to the next level with multipurpose products that allow you to achieve the look in 10 minutes or less - the fewer products the better, so multipurpose products that work on eyes, lips, and cheeks work best.

Pat on the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Blush to eyes, lips, and cheeks with your fingers to deliver a monochromatic, buildable glow. The ultra-moisturizing formula is where skincare and makeup meet, with Raspberry seed to help condition your skin while offering 12 hours of weightless wear.

Other multi-tasking products that are eye, lip, and cheek safe (and easy to throw in your bag) include Jason Wu's best selling Hot Fluff, Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencils, and the new HD Skin All-in-One Palette.

This fall, graphic liner meets cat eye with the Elongated Cat Eye: a look that features a wing with crisp lines instead of being smoked out with softer edges.

To perfect this look, use a primer to prime the lid and extend it beyond the outer corner of your eye. Next, blend your favorite shadow outward in the typical cat eye shape. Finally, dip a micro-fine cotton bud into a makeup remover and clean up the outer edges to create crisp lines. Now your Elongated Cat Eye is Camera Ready.

PRO Tip: The most popular colors we've seen for this look are bronze or green.
