Every fall brings with it not only new colors, but also trends in the world of beauty. This season, what has caught the eye is called "mature makeup ," and it is being embraced by stars like Penélope Cruz, who gracefully presented it at the Chanel Spring/Summer 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week.
But what exactly is "baked makeup"?

Imagine shades of toast, caramel and cinnamon, warm, sweet and natural. This makeup style reflects the warmth and softness of autumn, making skin look radiant and healthy.
The base is light and transparent, so that the skin can "breathe" and shine naturally. The application is ideally done with the fingers, so that the product easily blends into the skin and creates the " no makeup makeup " effect.
Cheeks come to life with soft peach or coral shades, which give a subtle freshness. A light highlighter in gold or champagne tones is placed on the points where the light falls, for a subtle, but not overpowering, glow.
The eyes are highlighted with bronze, brown, and caramel tones, applied by hand for a romantic and subdued "smokey" effect.
Lips? Nude colors take center stage: honey tones or soft pinks, often completed with a bit of shine for a seductive touch.
