While many of us have only been reaching for the concealer and mascara in our beauty bags recently, it might be hard to imagine getting excited to put on a full face. But whenever the mood strikes to play with makeup again, the fall runways have provided endless inspiration. From expressive eye makeup to fresh lip shades that will grab attention on Zoom calls, read on for the looks we’re expecting to see everywhere.
Artist Eyes
The makeup at Chromat showcased colorful block eyeliner to pay homage to fun and bright designs athletes wear on their sneakers. We especially love the electric blue and yellow combo for a dynamic winged-liner look.

There is no limit to the number of shades you can wear are your lids at once. Painting on a full rainbow look can be both incredibly cathartic and Instagram-friendly.

There's never been a better time to dip a brush into the eyeshadow shades you usually eschew for neutrals. Check out the large swathes of bright color used at Maison Margiela.

Meanwhile at Christopher John Rogers, crystal-studded arches gave us serious brow envy. Use a little lash glue to help the crystals stick.
