Whether it was a strawberry girl, pumpkin spice, or a latte makeup trend, 2023 was a year to have some fun with makeup! The good news is that there are going to be even more makeup trends to experiment with in 2024. Whether you’re into a naturally balanced, radiant look or ready to experiment with bold graphic liners, this year offers a diverse range of styles to suit every makeup enthusiast. Discover the hottest makeup trends of 2024 with the charm of monochromatic looks, the drama of ombré lips, and the artistry of blush contouring.
2024 will be a one-element look, so pick to highlight your eyes or lips while leaving the rest of your face fresh-faced with a delicate sweep of blush. If you want to wear a lip, choose polished vinyl lips in bright red or dark burgundy tones. Similarly, if eyes will be your pick, don’t be afraid of electric blues or emerald greens for eyes while keeping the rest of the face fresh and simple.
Subtle Glam
Naturally balancing makeup looks will be trending hugely this year. 2024 will be the year of enhancing your features rather than masking them. It will be mainly a clean aesthetic with radiant, healthy-looking skin. If you want a contoured look, a soft-sculpt look will be a good idea. Brands these days are launching formulas that provide coverage without compromising on the lightweight texture and finish.
Monochromatic Look
When it comes to colour makeup, a monochromatic look can never fail! The monochromatic colour palette of neutral, latte shades is here to stay. Matte taupe eyes with creamy, soft brown lips look incredibly beautiful. If you’re not comfortable with brown lips, you can always opt for peachy lipstick.
Graphic Liners
Keep your high-precision liners nearby because abstract and graphic lines are back in style. Moreover, this trend is all about creating bold and geometric shapes with eyeliner. It’s a fun way to make a statement with your eye makeup without opting for colours.
Ombré Lips
Ombré lips can be dramatic and striking or subtle and flattering. This trend makes your lips look fuller. Plus, it’s an effortless style that only requires a long-wear lip liner and a gloss or lip oil to achieve those juicy, kissable lips. Elevate your lip game with this versatile and chic technique.
Blush Contouring
You’ve probably noticed blusher placement rising from the cheeks to the cheekbones all over social media, and the trend isn’t going away in 2024. High blush is contouring with blush rather than bronzer; the pigment lifts the face, giving the appearance of high cheekbones. Applying blush in the shape of a ‘C’ on the cheeks to give a subtle yet impactful contour. This technique helps to create a more defined and structured look, enhancing the natural bone structure. A peach-toned blush gives a very youthful appearance to most skin tones.
Makeup Blues
Haha! I’m only talking about blue eyeshadows and eyeliners here. Blue always looks so good on everyone. There are so many options within the blue world, from warmer electric blues and grungy navy blues to baby icy blues. From playful, shimmery blues to sophisticated mattes, blues come in every shape and form. For example, a cobalt blue eyeliner will be a game-changer as compared to blacks and browns.
This year is all about self-expression and embracing individuality. From the timeless allure of monochromatic looks to the bold statements made by graphic liners and ombré lips, there’s a trend for every makeup enthusiast. So, let your creativity flow, experiment with colours and techniques, and most importantly, have fun with your makeup routine. Here’s to a year of self-discovery, empowerment, and a whole lot of stunning makeup looks.
Until next time, Ashh xo
