Autumn glam ’24
As autumn unfolds, it's the perfect time to align your makeup palette with the season's warm, earthy hues. September 2024 Fashion Week offered a preview of 2025’s emerging beauty trends, blending retro charm with modern simplicity. Drawing on 25 years in the makeup industry, this season's highlights include flushed red blush for a natural glow and smudged eyeliner for an effortlessly chic look. The beauty narrative this fall is all about balancing nostalgic elements with a fresh, contemporary edge.
Here’s how to stay ahead of the curve, whether you’re venturing into makeup for the first time or are a seasoned beauty expert.
Cool-Toned Eyeshadow Meets Earthy tones:
This fall, expect refreshing neutral, cool- toned eyeshadows paired with an earthy palette. These shades ranging from slate greys to cool browns bringing a soft sense of depth and mystery to the eyes, making them the perfect fall statement.
The Return of the ‘90s:
The ’90s lip revival is back in full force. Brown lip liners paired with neutral shades are reclaiming their spotlight. This understated look is both nostalgic and current, offering the ultimate balance between bold definition and soft, muted tones.
Goodbye Harsh Contours, Hello Soft Sculpting:
Heavy contouring is officially out. Instead, soft sculpting is taking center stage, with cream- based bronzers and blushes working together to subtly enhance your natural bone struc- ture. Think barely-there contouring that let your skin’s natural warmth shine through.
The Quest for Glass Skin:
Dewy, flawless skin continues to be a must- have. Glass skin a look that screams radi- ance and health continues to dominate the complexion game this season, blurring the line between skincare and makeup with its luminous finish.
Blurred Lips for Effortless Glam:
K-beauty’s blurred lips trend has translated from the runways to everyday life. Achieve this dreamy, low-maintenance look by dabbing matte lipstick at the center of your lips, then gently smudging the edges for a soft, lived-in finish.
Minimalist Nude Eyes:
Nude eyes are taking minimalism to new heights this season. Soft washes of nude
or cool pink shadows create an effortless, fresh-faced look perfect for those who favor understated elegance.
Red Blush: A Bold Flush
Thanks to industry legend Rose-Marie Swift, (Victoria secret angels mup artist) red blush is the breakout star of the season. It’s the secret to achieving that perfectly flushed, just-in-from-the-cold look that feels youthful and fresh.
Lived-In Eyeliner:
Smudged, lived-in eyeliner was all over the runways this season, adding a rebellious edge to otherwise polished looks. This grunge-in- spired trend, a subtle nod to the Y2K era, offers just the right amount of nonchalance to your autumn makeup routine.
This season is all about merging past trends with modern techniques, ensuring you’ll look effortlessly chic this autumn.
