MODERN MINIMALISM
This look, as seen on runways such as Tory Burch, Alexander Mc- Queen, Victoria Beckham and Stella McCartney, gave us a new twist on the clean girl aesthetic and modernized it. The 2024 version says goodbye to the ultra big fluffy skyscraper brows that have plagued us for the last four years and takes on a more quiet luxury routine, with good skincare, clean, minimal, and groomed brows, soft satin-finished skin, and soft highlights on the face with shiny lips.
revolution. After years of embracing the clean girl aesthetic and last year’s trend of ultra-glossy skin, the fashion runways and industry trailblazers have decided to shake things up a bit. This year, we are greeted with a refreshing wave of innovation. Get ready to bid adieu to yesteryears’ minimalistic looks and embrace a new era of bold experimentation and artistic expression.
NEO PARISIAN
This look, as seen on the Saint Laurent runways, had the classic sultry smoky eyes and sculpted cheeks, not forgetting the classic true red lip. Proving this look is always in style. Another take on this look was from the Charlotte Tilbury team, who mixed a couple of this season’s trends and used a dark blue eye colour instead to add a twist to this look. What made it more modern was the absence of bold fluffy brows, the absence of mascara on bottom lashes, and not forgetting the wing eyeliner, which is back in a big way, with some designers even going to extremes with 3D graphic looks. The retro wing and feline flicks are set to be huge this year.
GOTHIC GLAMOUR
This look, as seen at Victoria Beckham, Dior, and Givenchy, had us turning our heads
in disbelief as models were spotted with a goth witchy look. Dior showcases black pencil lips placed just on the inside. But don’t despair if this look is not one any of us will be sporting any time soon; there are plenty of ways to incorporate elements of gothic glam into everyday wear. Focus on bold features like Smokey eyes and vampy or pale lips for a dramatic finish.
NATURAL CORE
As seen on the runways with designers like Simone Roche, Susan Fang and The Blonds. The models were spotted with painted flowers or but- terfly wings around the eyes or face. To embrace this vibe without going to extremes, you can think of soft, neutral hues reminiscent of natural landscapes paired with dewy, fresh skin. Achieve a subtle glow with creamy blush and highlighters, mimicking the radiance of sunlight on the skin. They are finished with a touch of mascara and tinted lip balm for an effortlessly natural and understated look.
GRUNGE REVIVAL
We are bringing back the rebellious spirit of the 90s with a modern twist. Embrace edgy, undone vibes with smudged eyeliner, matte textures and earthy tones. Think smudged dark eyeshadows that can be modernised with sliver and grey hues: pale satin lips and a natural complexion.
FAIRLY CORE
This look is all about embracing whimsical enchantment with ethereal beauty. Think soft pas- tel hues, iridescent highlights, and a touch of sparkle. Create a dreamy look with shimmery and metallic eyeshadows, dewy skin and pale, rosy cheeks reminiscent of a fairy’s glow. Complete the magical transfor- mation with fluttery lashes and a hint of nude glossy lips.
