With the fall season upon us, it’s time to have some fun with makeup and play with new colors and looks trending for fall 2024. Below, we included popular makeup trends and products that will help you achieve the look you want.
Red Lips
Fashion magazines and runways have featured red lipstick for their Fall 2024 looks. Red lipstick, of course, is a classic look. It is a bold color that pops against muted colors. For this fall season, red lipstick is paired with a minimal makeup look, making the lips stand out and the true focal point. You can choose between creamy to matte to glossy depending on your preference, though for Fall 2024, the frontrunner is matte, which you can pair with a luminous base for comfort.

Pops of Color
It’s time for the inner corner highlight to move over and for a bold color to take center stage! Specifically, pink offers a fun alternative, brightening your face and adding a touch of whimsy instead of the usual light shimmer. The trend is playful and bold. You can go for a hint of pink with a thin line of eyeliner or a thicker application on the inner corner of the eye. Explore different shades of pink to find the one that flatters you most.

Grunge
There has been a steady resurgence of 90s fashion; nostalgia for time past continues to be something we seek. It is no surprise that the grunge look that was popular at the time has made its way back too. It typically involves using darker hues such as gray, black, and deep browns. It is a blend of messy and effortless with either very sharp and angular or soft and smudged. You know you’ve achieved grungecore when you look fierce, bold, and intense.

Bare-Faced
Bare-faced makeup is about embracing natural beauty with as little product as possible. To embrace this look, use products sparingly, just a touch of concealer, a light base, maybe mascara, a natural brow color pencil or clear brow gel, and a light-tinted lip balm. Some prefer a dewy natural finish, and others matte—choose what suits your skin best. If you prefer lightweight products, then dewy is the way to go, but if you prefer thicker products because of your skin type, matte is the better choice.

Jones Road – Miracle Balm ($38, shop here)
Glossier – Ultralip ($22, shop here)
Playful Eyebrows
A fun and head-turning trend that is emerging for Fall 2024 is playful eyebrows. What do we mean by playful? Think bleached, gems, and thin-lined pencil brows. Bleached brows are a dramatic look where the hairs are blonde, platinum, or white. It brings all the focus to your eyes. If temporary sparkle is more for you, face gems and rhinestones are the avenue to a playful look. You strategically place the gems along the arch of the eyebrow in the colors of your choice.
