Fashion Month Fall 2021 has run its course. Like the Spring 2021 season, the Fall 2021 lineup offered a mix of runway shows, lookbooks and videos. But the presentations still delivered major beauty inspo. New York, London, Milan and Paris provided dreamy hair and makeup looks perfect to try in the comfort of your own home or on Instagram. There were also Fall 2021 beauty options you can rock out in the real world.
Strong extended flicks around eyes was clearly the shape of the season. Searching for a lip color for Zoom or for when it’s safe to go out mask-free? Low-key neutral lips were a major player at many shows, like Etro and Max Mara. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Del Core embraced a statement-making glossy red.
Tresses were tousled to enhance natural texture, like at Courrèges and Coperni. Or gelled into a low ponytail or bun. (Both Erdem and Christian Siriano ticked multiple trend boxes.)
