Summer saw a bold rebellion of colour explode onto the scene, as people came out of hiding, ready to show their faces to the world again. As the days become shorter and Autumn makes its vibrant entrance, the season’s trends are shifting again. Cuan Kemp, National Head of Marketing & Social Media, National Head of Education and National Head of Make-up for professional make-up brand Kryolan SA, shares his thoughts on up-and-coming Autumn trends and advice on finding the perfect products to match.

Nude lips
A more natural look is gaining popularity in the lipstick palette, according to Kemp. He adds, “Nude lips are the perfect opportunity to let natural beauty radiate without distraction. With a variety of shades and textures available, there is the perfect nude lipstick for everyone, even if it hasn’t been a preference before.”

Autumn Eyes
According to Kemp, eye make-up should always intensify eye shape and colour. And autumn hues are the perfect way to accentuate the window to your soul.

“Kryolan has a range of HD Cream Liner which can be used as a cream eye shadow. It comes in magnificent autumn tones – Bronze, Golden Shimmer, Rose Gold, Sunkissed, and Cacao.

“Their rich, warm undertones are perfect without being too dark or dramatic for the current season. The silicone-based formulae are water-resistant, smudge-proof, and last 18 hours without creasing or fading. They also allow for experimentation – powdered eye shadow can then be applied on top of these to intensify the colours or change the dimension entirely.”

The new bronze age
Kemp concludes, “This year’s autumn palette complements the warm, muted hues that the season brings,” says Kemp. “Nudes, earth tones, and bronzes are making a comeback, with warm, harmonious glowing looks taking centre stage.”
