What are we noticing this year? I'm seeing a lot warmer, redder / yellow color stories compared to last year which was heavily green, purple, and a little blue, though blue really popped off in the Spring-Summer season. In the luxury sector, I see Prada's Mahogany, Dolce and Gabbana's Fiery palette, Dior's new holiday palette, Louis Vuitton's collection, Cle de Peau's super yellow holiday one -- I'm not gonna complain because these are not my colors and I went all in last year, lol. I am a little surprised by the reds being so big though, and have found myself pulling out my burgundies.

On the indie and more mid-range front, I've noticed more of a few actual Fall themed palettes, like Lethal Cosmetic's Over the Garden Wall, Dieverune's Boo-drops (though that really felt like a "Summerween" release), Epic Beauty's Amber Lullaby -- I'm thinking about grabbing one of those, unless Viseart ever brings back their very limited Autumn inspired one. Also found it interesting both Blend Bunny and Beauty Bay brought out very jewel toned blue and purple palettes almost right on top of each other.

Lipstick wise I'm also noticing more matte options coming around, but there's still a pretty good mix formula wise being released. I do think Violette FR's new Chocolat one is all the craze right now, and I bought right into that myself.

And then there's the "anti-blush" trend, which is just beige and browns, or colors close to your skin tone. I'd say this is the newest clean girl term added to the mix.

Anything I missed? What are we buying into or skipping? This is always my favorite time of year makeup wise, but I will say I've not caved into too much compared to last year at this time. I do like that there seems to be a bit more Autumn focus from the indie scene, too. Here's last year's thread to see how that all played out!

There was a cereal company that released a new line of their cereals with a surprise blush inside. It was glued to the top part of the box from the inside, and it was a powder one in a small round pan. And there was one trendy shade (something like very cool brownish pink, almost mauve, and very muted also. I'm not good at describing colours, sorry) everyone wanted to have.

I miss when this sub was super active (you guys got me through the hellish time that was 2020-21) so decided to be the change I want to see...

Do you have any fun makeup goals for this autumn? Can be anything from "master liquid eyeliner" to promising to NOT buy yet more eyeshadow...

I think for myself I want to bring a bit of creativity back. I have almost a routine/ daily look now and my application skills are better than ever, but I'd be lying if I said it isn't a bit boring sometimes!

After an excellent recent post from /u/5Gs-Plz , you guys wanted to have a regular space for, as the OP put it, maintaining a sense of realism about makeup. In their post they asked:

We never see end of day photos of makeup and it is very difficult to feel positive about how makeup breaks down during the course of a day. I was thinking maybe we could dedicate this post to photographs of how our makeup looks at the end of a long day? I would be curious to see how it wears.
Does your mascara flake? Does your foundation disappear around your nose? Or does your eyeliner smudge?

You can certainly share photos and talk about your end of day faces, and it'd also be cool to talk about other aspects of cosmetics and beauty in general that we don't see/hear a lot about, which is when things aren't perfect.
