Curious what are the latest trends in makeup? Take this quiz to find out which one makes sense for you.
Makeup Trends
Makeup trends are what's currently in style when it comes to makeup. For the most part, it has to do with women's fashion, but it can include men's beauty aspects as well. A lot of the favorite makeup trends rely on different skin tones, as not all skin tones can work with all styles. Concepts such as bold colors, accentuating eyeshadow, and enhancing shade are all ideas that are popular. Some celebrities create makeup looks that have gone viral. Other famous stars, like Selena Gomez, have created their own makeup lines.
Figuring out a sense of what you want your life to look like can be a sign of your next makeup overhaul. It may feel like you need to be wearing tons of different shades of blush or heavier application of eyeliner to accentuate an outfit. But something as small as a bit of concealer can do wonders for your services. Shine on and off the runway.
Which Makeup Trends Should You Try?
It's 2024, and the beauty world has welcomed a kaleidoscope of makeup trends, letting every face become its own canvas of self-expression. As we scroll through our feeds, dazzled by the array of looks, from subtle to avant-garde, the question isn't if we should try these trends, but rather which ones will let us unleash our inner glam gods and goddesses. We're talking neon liner wings sharp enough to cut through bad vibes, and blush so generously applied it'll have you believing we've time-traveled back to the 80s.
But hold up—before we dive into our makeup bags and emerge looking like abstract paintings (which could be chic, no judgment), let's navigate the cosmetic cosmos together. Makeup is our armor, our mood booster, and sometimes, the spark that ignites a thousand selfies. Can we really pull off glossy lids in a board meeting? Will sculptural cheekbones be the edge we need to conquer the karaoke stage? Uncertain about the leap from safe neutrals to bursts of color that scream "I'm a fearless artist of life"? We've got you covered.
Let us guide you, our fabulous brainstormers, as we sift through an ocean of eyeshadows and tides of lipsticks to find those trends that resonate with our spirits. Are you ready to find the piece de resistance for your look? Let's embark on this glam-adventure, turning the mundane into your personal runway. And if anyone asks why you’re sporting baroque-inspired eyebrows at brunch, remember—the world's your stage, and we're merely blending on it.
The Vibrant World of Eye Makeup
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to bat those lids with pride because we're diving into the oh-so-colorful and unapologetically bold universe of eye makeup. This year it’s all about making a statement that says, "Hey, we're not just here to play it safe; we're here to shine!"
Liner Innovations
Let's talk about the maverick of makeup: the eyeliner. Gone are the days when a simple black cat-eye would do—we're looking at liners in every hue under the sun. Think electric blues, fierce reds, and yes, even glitter-infused options that have taken the top and bottom lash line hostage in the most fabulous way. The trick is to layer it up, and don't shy away from experimenting with different textures. Are you ready to join the liner rebellion?
Bold and Bright
Now, if eyeliners are the mavericks, then bright eyeshadow is the party starter. Unleash vibrant vibes on your lids with everything from neon pinks to sunshine yellows. Pro tip: pack that color on and blend, blend, blend! Creating a smoky eye with bold colors? Why not! Mixing and matching colors? Encouraged. The brighter the better. Our motto? Be bold or go home.
Euphoria's Lash Effect
Last but definitely not least, let's chat about the "Euphoria effect." Thanks to our favorite high-drama show, colored mascara and whimsical lash decor have us all channeling our inner Rue or Jules. Adorning the top and bottom lash lines with vibrant colors and sparkling adornments, this trend invites us to live our best and most spirited lives—one flutter at a time. Who knew that lashes could be the window to our wild and whimsical souls?
So before you take our BrainFall quiz to find out which eye makeup trend meshes with your soul, take a moment to show your lids some love with these exciting makeup maneuvers!
The Cheeky Side of Beauty
Let's talk about turning heads with a pop of color and radiance on those fabulous cheekbones of ours. We're diving straight into those blush and highlighter pots to give our cheeks the fun they truly deserve.
Blushing Trends
We can't get enough of that statement blush, from a daring plum blush that compliments a wide range of skin tones, to a bright blush that screams 'look at me!' Gals with lighter skin, fear not; start with a light touch and build your courage—and your blush—slowly. Remember playing dress-up with those doll blush circles? Yes, we're bringing it back, but more refined, promising rosy cheeks with a modern twist.
Glow on the Go
Whether you're sashaying down a supermarket aisle or strutting your stuff in the office, a quick dab of glow can make all the difference. Depending on our mood, we might reach for a liquid highlighter to channel that 'just got back from vacation' dewiness, or go for a powder highlighter for a subtle shimmer that says, 'Yes, I'm naturally this radiant.' The trick is to find a highlighter that makes it look like we're always in the best lighting.
