On the one hand, the make-up trends for autumn/winter 2017 reflect a nostalgic retro look, which is characterized by curved eyeliner strokes, blue eyeshadow and sweeping lower eyelashes. On the other hand, new make-up techniques such as “Upside Down” and two-tone lips make real statements. The reserved nude tones remain, which can be perfectly combined with the new trends.
Make-up Trends 2017
Dark lips
The lipstick trends for autumn and winter 2017/2018 are based on a wide spectrum from rosé to black-red. Nuances reminiscent of fruity berries, red wine and chocolate give the look a vamp flair. Dark plum tones look great on fair complexions, while brown lipstick suits olive skin. It is better to use subtle make-up on your eyes.
Two-Tone-Lips
Two-tone is nothing new. The trend has been spreading in the fashion and beauty industries for the past two-three years. Dip-dye and ombré are a beautiful example of this. At this year's spring/summer showsMake-up-Artistspresents the two-tone lips. To do this, different colors such as orange and pink are applied to the upper and lower lips. But dark red and dark purple are better for autumn. The beauty industry has already responded to the popular two-tone lip trend and launched two-tone lipsticks that promise a harmonious ombré effect.
Mauve eyeshadow
The mysterious smokey eyes remain relevant, but are no longer limited to the strong gray and black tones. Instead, they rely on new colors and a gentle color gradient. Warm eyeshadow tones such as brown, beige and rust dominate the autumn palette. But mauve is now on everyone’s lips. The new trend tone is between red and violet and really flatters every skin tone. Mauve lipsticks are best combined with smokey eyes in brown tones. Mauve is also suitable as an eyeshadow.
HaloEyes
Halo eyes are an absolute favorite on Instagram and the like. This is a beautiful effect that is achieved with light and dark eye shadows. Apply the light eyeshadow to the movable eyelid. Simply use the darker eye shadow on the edge of the eye and in the inner corner of the eye. The light eyeshadow in the middle makes your gaze more awake and your eyes appear more open.
The choice of color is entirely up to you. The look works best with shimmering or glittering eye shadows. You can also create beautiful accents by applying some glitter to the top and bottom in dabbing motions.
Metallic Eyes
Next season you can sparkle on your eyelids! Shrill metallic tones in the colors of the rainbow make the eyes shine even more and give the look more depth and expression. From a slight shimmer to a dramatic smokey eye look – metallic eyeshadows come in different intensities. If the metallic eyes trend seems too glamorous for you, you can get an eyeliner with a shimmer effect and add individual accents.
In the metallic trendIt is important to choose the right eyeshadow shade for your eye color, as the shimmer draws even more attention to the eyes. Bronze and gold tones harmonize particularly well with green eyes. Brown eyes can also be beautifully emphasized with a slight gold shimmer. Light rose and blue tones are perfect for brown eyes.

The different peach nuances range from light orange to peachy pink to coral. Whether subtle, matte or with glitter - peach-colored eyeshadows look perfect on summer and autumn types and conjure up a radiantly awake look. Important for the look: The blush should be color coordinated. A pink blush to go with an orange tone is a no-go. The lips are inmade up in delicate nude tones.

Eyeliner dots on the lower lash line, so-called dot eyeliners, are now also conquering social media platforms.
Make-upin the style of the 60s
Fly legs through mascaraare no longer considered make-up faux pas. For the Chanel Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2017/18 show at Paris Fashion Week in March, the make-up artists opted for a look that was both feminine and eye-catching. With lavishly decorated headbands, the models wore dramatic eye make-up inspired by 60s supermodel Twiggy. The Londoner fascinated her audience with her expansive eyelashes and her big doll eyes.
The black eyeliner line in the crease of the eyelid is typical of her look. First, the entire eyelid is primed with light blue eyeshadow. Next, take a black eyeliner pencil and draw a semi-shaped arc in the crease of the eyelid. This is smudged with an applicator. Use a fine eyeliner pen to draw an eyeliner. The highlight are the painted under eyelashes, which make the eyes appear larger. In contrast to the extreme eye make-up, the lips are made up very conservatively.
