Here are some of the beauty trends that will dominate 2024, including frosted blush, bold red lips, metallic lids, and aurora nails.
Many people have the misconception that makeup only serves to cover up our flaws. Makeup can be a creative outlet and a powerful component of your overall look and style. It can also be a lot of fun to do. You can express yourself through makeup to look like whoever you want to be on any given day. The timeless natural makeup look will never go out of style, but the beauty trends of 2024 are anything but basic.
The world of beauty is full of trends thanks to social networks. From strawberry girls to numerous food-inspired looks, beauty trends seem to be moving at the speed of light and don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. To help you get started, we've compiled a list of some of the most popular makeup trends.
Glazed Blush:
Polished skin and nails dominated the 2023 beauty trend lists; However, in 2024, the glazed movement has blushed. The key to this trend is to give your blush just a hint of that bright glow. Instead of going for a completely dewy base, add a shimmery effect to the blush. You can increase or decrease the trend by adjusting the amount of highlighter used. For a stunning date night or party look, use lots of highlighter. Cream blush and liquid highlighter are your best options to follow this trend.
Metallic covers:
This year's eye makeup mantra is: “Go bold or go home.” Metallic eyelids, in particular, are having a big moment—the runways and celebrities' obvious penchant for sparkly eyes are testament to that. For evening outings, shiny gold, silver and copper samples on the eyelids are ideal. For daytime glamour, wear bright or softer rose gold shades.
Red lips:
Bold red lips are making a comeback as the biggest beauty statement makers. Not only do red lips exude a confident, feisty vibe, they also represent a departure from the “clean girl” makeup trends of 2023. Pair a red lip with sleek black and white ensembles for a long-lasting effect. A pop of contrasting red in a monochrome palette will make your beauty efforts stand out.
Gothic glamor:
Dark lipstick and deep black eyeliner are fashion staples. All you need to rock this makeup trend like a pro is natural confidence. Selena Gomez brought gothic glamor to the Grammys red carpet with her bold plum lip, matching manicure, and heavy lashes.
Aurora Nails:
Aurora nails, inspired by the enchanting glow of the Northern Lights, are the first big manicure trend for 2024. Aurora nails are also known as uru-uru nails or ice nails. The goal is to capture the essence of the Northern Lights with holographic paints suspended in transparent gel.
