Between the resurgence of the coquette trend and the popularity of the soft girl aesthetic, it’s clear that delicate, feminine looks are having a moment. Now, a new beauty trend is making waves – dolly makeup. This style shares similarities with Chinese douyin makeup and Japanese gyaru makeup but emphasizes wearability. Think of it as softer, more feminine makeup suitable for daytime. The key aspect of the dolly look is creating the illusion of larger eyes. If you’re ready to embrace your inner doll, scroll ahead to discover tips and tricks that will help you nail this makeup look.

Since this look focuses on enhancing your inner femininity, it makes sense that the eyes rely heavily on soft pink shades. Start by sweeping a light mattepink all over your eyelids as a base. Then, use a shimmery pink shade and focus on applying this in the middle of your lids for a nice pop. What’s unique to the dolly makeup trend is the use of eyeshadow to create faux-eye bags. In Korea, this technique is colloquially known as “aegyo-sal”, or baby eye fat, which is intended to create a youthful appearance. To do this, use a small and precise eyeshadow brush to sweep a brown shadow just slightly underneath the eyes. Be sure to blend this out.
Now, grab a liquid eyeliner pencil (opt for one with a small, precise tip for optimal results) and draw a wing on the top of your eyelids. It’s important to use a brown pen versus a black one because the lighter shade will make for a much softer overall look. Your dolly makeup cannot be complete without long, fluttery eyelashes. Curl and apply mascara to your natural eyelashes on the top and bottom. Then, apply spikey, anime-inspired false eyelashes. You can also go back in with the previous eyeliner pen to create a few faux-bottom lashes, enhancing the doll-like effect further.
The return of fall is guaranteed to bring 3 things: sweaters, boots, and pumpkin spice lattes. And it’s no surprise that the latter has turned another drink-inspired makeup trend on TikTok. Now that there’s a chill in the air, creators are warming up their latte looks with shades of rustic orange and cinnamon brown — and it’s catching on, as evidenced by the 9.5 million views on the#pumpkinspicemakeup.
Much like its predecessor, latte makeup, this look is about capitalizing a singular color palette for all features of the face. But rather than a caramel color, the pumpkin spice latte makeup is focused on orangey, spice-toned hues. While orange makeup doesn’t necessarily sound flattering, you’re in for a surprise. This trendy look is a great way to warm up your facial features and evokes the feel-good vibe of the season.

Of course, shades of orange — including deep auburn, copper, and rust — are essential for this look, but like a good recipe, this calls for more than one ingredient, or rather, makeup color. Pumpkin spice latte makeup includes tones like muted brown sugar and hues of roasted spices to give the perfect fall topping to your makeup look. Similar to a drinkable PSL, the base of this makeup look is anchored in toasty brown and cream coffee-inspired hues. Starting with your base, consider mixing in a few drops of Westman Atelier’s Illuminator Drops in the shade Peau De Soleil, which will add a beautiful bronze shimmer. After you spot treat with concealer, warm up your complexion even more with a spiced bronzer likeNARS Laguna Talc-Free Bronzer Powderor Juvia’s PlaceBronzed Duo to contour and sculpt your face to perfection. As for spicing things up, think of your eyes, cheeks, and lips as the “pumpkin cream foam” to your “latte” base. We recommend opting for just a touch of a peach-hued formula to compliment the pumpkin spice color theme. The Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade Love topped with the Nars Blush in the shade Taj Mahal creates a pumpkin-spiced flush of color.
From there, it’s time to focus on the eyes. After applying a primer, sweep a soft matte brown all over your lids to set the tone for warmer hues. Using an orange-based eyeshadow, apply this on top, focusing on keeping the color below the crease. In lieu of eyeliner, use a dark brown to add definition to your eyes with the help of a small eyeshadow brush. Use this shade to line your upper and lower lash line, ensuring it blends out completely. Complete the eyes by curling your lashes and adding a coat or two of your favorite lengthening mascara.
Before you go, finish your pumpkin spice makeup with a burgundy lipstick. This warm, brick shade will complement the orange hues beautifully. But, if you rather let your eyes (and cheeks!) do most of the talking, we recommend an elevated neutral lip. Line your lips with brown lip liner (we love the Mac Lip Pencil in Chestnut), then apply light rusty pink lipstick like the Merit Signature Lipstick in Slip and top it off with a warm shimmery gloss like Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil in 5/17 for a touch of shine.
And with that, you have a beautiful makeup look to match your favorite autumnal drink. Cheers!

If you’ve been anywhere near beauty TikTok the past few months, you’ve probably got wind of the fact that terracotta is the color to have on your cheeks right now. Though warm blush tones come around each fall, terracotta blushes all over the internet since springtime, and I have to say, I’ve been stunned by how versatile the shade can be. If you think it’ll look like a streak of orange on your cheeks, think again; instead, the shade brings a stunning, natural-looking warmth to the complexion. As the seasons change and we all start to lose that healthy summer glow (RIP to my sun-kissed cheeks), there’s no better time than the present to pick up a rusty-toned blush and incorporate it into your makeup routine.

Whether you’re looking to dip your toe into terracotta blush for the first time or are just looking for a new one to add to your collection, we’ve rounded up the best ones available now to fake a sun-kissed glow as our natural ones fade. From cream to powder to putty, these are the terracotta blushes we will be wearing on our cheeks for the foreseeable future.
The Saie Dew Blush is a staple in our everyday makeup routine, and their “spicy” shade is the perfect wearable terracotta. For anyone who wants an easy to work with, hydrating cream blush, this is your girl.
If you’re into minimalist beauty, chances are that you know and love anything Merit. This Flush Balm is super easy to apply straight from the stick, no brushes or sponges required, making it perfect for taking on the go.
This Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm Powder Blush is a 2023 Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner, so you know it’s a standout product. It’s a one-of-a-kind cream formula that blurs the skin and leaves a natural-looking flush, every time.
You know the deal—Rare Beauty blushes are viral for a reason, and thankfully, Queen Selena sells one in a gorgeous terracotta. This blush is notoriously highly pigmented, meaning you’ll only need to use a small dot in order to achieve a warm, flushed look (and that the tube will last you forever).
Just because Sofia Richie opted for the “Picante” shade of Nudestix on her wedding day doesn’t mean the “Rusty Rouge” color isn’t just as gorgeous. This blush comes in a cult-favorite stick formula, so you can blend it with your fingers or stipple it on with a brush.
Tower 28 is known for making versatile, multi-use products, and their Lip + Cheek Cream Blush is the star of their lineup. The shade “Power Hour” can be patted onto both cheeks and lips for a warm, monochrome terracotta look.
As the name implies, this putty blush from e.l.f. is highly pigmented, yet also hydrating and glowy. Plus, you would be hard-pressed to find a quality cream-to-powder terracotta blush at a better price point.
This one’s for the powder blush girlies—you can never go wrong with a NARS blush. This shimmery terracotta shade can be worn sheer or built up for a rusty red cheek.
If only we had a dollar for every time, we heard a beauty guru rave about the Patrick Ta blush duo in the past couple of months. This groundbreaking cream-and-powder duo is intended to be applied powder first (you read that right), then topped off with the cream product for a dewy, pigmented cheek that lasts all day.
Juvia’s Place’s blushes are some of the bests we’ve ever tried, and this two-toned palette allows you to create a totally customized terracotta cheek. Use either shade individually, or mix them together for a vibrant, warm look.
Perfecting aflawless makeup routinerequires skill and precision, but achieving flash photography-proof makeup adds an entirely different dimension. Especially for significant events and gatherings where you anticipate numerous photographs throughout the day, looking, and feeling your absolute best is crucial. To avoid looking flushed out for photos, you should carefully choose your lineup of products. We’ve made it our mission to source the best makeup finds that will ensure you look good in every single photo. Read ahead to discover how to be camera-ready at all times.

The base layer sets the tone when it comes to looking unblemished in photos. Before applying makeup, go through your skincare routine, but avoid using any products with SPF because this can cast a white glow in a flash photo. From there, evenly spread the Smashbox Photo Finish primer, which will leave your face feeling silky smooth for foundation. The Armani Luminous Silk is a cult favorite for a reason as it has high coverage and seamless application. Any flash can drown out your face, so it’s important to add a bit more color and contour than you would on an everyday basis. Enter the Patrick Ta Contour and Powder Duo, which will lift and sculpt your face to perfection. Also, this works exceptionally well with its blush counterpart.
Now that your base is perfect, seal it with the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Powder and the All-Nighter Waterproof Setting Spray from Urban Decay. It’s finally time to define the eyes. You can opt to go as natural or dark as you want, but we suggest spending extra time on the brows as flash photography doesn’t do a lighter brow justice. Additionally, you can tighten your eyes if you want them to pop without having too much eye makeup on. Complete your flash photography-proof makeup by applying a glossy lip color for a perfect pout!
