Fall is here (finally!) and that means beauty trends are taking a dark turn. FYI: you'll be seeing more than just bold, red lips and heavy eyeliner this season—you’ll be seeing spots, too. At New York Fashion Week, we noticed models rocking fake freckles down the runways. But, these aren’t the only beauty marks trending now. Temporary tattoos are receiving a ton of hype—and this is the type of ink you won’t regret. From fake tattoos that look legit to shiny tats that appear to be jewelry—save those baggy sweaters for winter and cover up with body art this fall.
