Fall 2024 Makeup Trends
Fall/Winter 2024 brings a fresh wave of makeup trends that are all about warmth, soft colors, and enhancing natural beauty. This season’s looks draw on elements we’ve loved all year — like the bronzy glow and dewy skin — but with a winter twist that feels just right for the colder months.
Here’s a roundup of the top trends to try for an effortlessly chic look this season, along with some top product recommendations!
That’s That Me Espresso…
Instead of a summer-only look, bronzy makeup is evolving into a year-round staple, particularly for winter. The espresso-inspired trend focuses on adding warmth and depth to the face with bronzer and brown eyeshadows.
Choose a bronzer to sculpt the cheekbones and jawline, and add brown or espresso-toned eyeshadows for an easy, effortless eye look. This technique brings out a subtle glow that contrasts beautifully with winter’s cool tones, creating a cozy appearance.
Brown shades of lip liner and lip gloss take it to a new level…
Bronzy Blush
With the 2023 blush obsession still going strong, winter’s take on blush incorporates bronzy and brown shades. This trend lets you use highlighter, bronzer, and blush together for a seamless, multidimensional glow. Try dabbing a glowy bronzer or a warm-toned blush on the apples of your cheeks, blending it up toward the temples. This adds warmth and dimension, making it an all-in-one step that enhances your complexion with a soft, radiant finish suited for colder months.
Statement Red Lipstick with a French Twist
Red lipstick remains a classic, but the 2024 twist involves softer, blurred edges instead of defined lines. Inspired by French beauty, this look exudes effortless chic by using a brush or fingertip to apply lipstick, creating a softer, almost smudged effect. This approach makes red lips more wearable for day or night, adding a hint of sophistication without feeling overdone. The result is a beautifully blurred, approachable red lip perfect for winter’s cozy vibe.
Muted Colored Eyeliners
Say goodbye to the usual black liner and hello to rich, muted shades designed to make your eyes pop. Deep maroons, plums, navy blues, and emerald greens enhance natural eye colors subtly but effectively. These colors are softer than black but still make a statement, bringing out the warmth in brown eyes or the brightness in blue and green eyes. Apply these shades close to the lash line for a hint of color or smudge them out for a soft, smoky effect perfect for winter nights.
Dewy, Radiant Skin
Dewy, natural-looking skin continues to be the focal point for makeup this season. The idea is to enhance the skin’s natural glow without heavy foundation. Opt for a tinted moisturizer or a sheer, lightweight foundation, and use minimal powder to allow natural shine to come through. Highlight high points of the face like the cheekbones and nose for an extra touch of radiance. This trend celebrates a fresh, healthy look that emphasizes your skin’s natural beauty, ideal for colder, drier months.
Whether you're embracing bronzy tones, experimenting with muted liners, or giving your skin a healthy, dewy glow, this season’s makeup trends are versatile and easy to make your own. With these looks, you can elevate your winter style while keeping things natural and elegant.
