As the leaves turn, fall brings the perfect opportunity to refresh your beauty routine. From effortless skin to earth-toned nails, this season’s looks are all about confidence, polish, and a return to natural sophistication.
Our Charles Ifergan experts across Chicago, Oakbrook, and Deerfield have rounded up the top fall beauty trends we can’t wait to try.
This fall, complexion takes center stage-but in the most understated way. Think skin that’s not too dewy, not too matte-just healthy, smooth, and perfectly balanced.
We’re loving this shift away from the ultra-glossy, heavily highlighted looks of past seasons in favor of skin that looks real, radiant, and refined.
IFREGAN EXPERT TIP
A hydrated, exfoliated base helps achieve that “no-filter” finish effortlessly.
Runways from New York to Paris-and yes, even on Michigan Avenue-are embracing defined, Twiggy-inspired lashes this fall.
The look? Dramatic lower lashes that add just the right amount of edge without overwhelming your face. Pair them with minimal eyeshadow for a striking yet wearable look.
IFREGAN EXPERT TIP
For a modern take, use a lengthening mascara on the bottom lashes only. It opens the eyes and gives that subtle ‘60s nod without going full mod.
Say goodbye to over-laminated, over-filled brows. This season’s brows are clean, soft, and naturally defined. Keep a crisp shape with gentle filling in the arch, but allow your natural texture to shine through. It’s the ultimate “undone but intentional” look-perfect for the busy Chicago woman on the go.
IFREGAN EXPERT TIP
Try a tinted brow gel instead of a pencil for that soft, lifted effect. It gives just enough polish without over-sculpting.
Gray is officially the new neutral. From slate to taupe-gray, this understated hue is showing up everywhere-and it’s surprisingly flattering. Whether you’re heading to brunch in Oakbrook or a dinner in the Gold Coast, gray shadow adds quiet sophistication to any look.
IFREGAN EXPERT TIP
Blend a beige-gray tone into your crease for a subtle wash of color. It enhances your eyes without overpowering your features.
This fall’s manicures take a cue from nature. Think warm beiges, soft caramels, and cozy browns replacing traditional deep reds and pinks. These earthy hues feel chic, versatile, and undeniably elegant-perfect for pairing with your favorite fall sweaters.
IFREGAN EXPERT TIP
Ask for a “latte glaze” finish- slightly translucent and glossy-for a modern twist on neutral nails.
Mastering minimalism is the ultimate luxury. This season’s “no-makeup” makeup is all about glowing skin, soft brows, and barely-there definition. A little less really does go a long way-and this look transitions beautifully from the boardroom to weekend brunch.
IFREGAN EXPERT TIP
Combine a tinted moisturizer with cream blush and a touch of balm on the lips. It’s the fastest way to look put-together in under five minutes.
