Autumn 2024 Makeup Trends
Autumn is renowned for its unique and sophisticated colour palettes, making it the perfect time to explore the makeup trends that have already won many hearts. This season brings a balanced mix of sophistication, creativity, and boldness, with a focus on warm tones and luminous finishes that perfectly complement the cooler weather.
Autumn Colour Palette
The colours dominating autumn 2024 include earthy and rich tones such as golden yellow, olive green, burnt orange, and cocoa brown. These shades reflect the transition in nature and are ideal for creating looks that exude both elegance and depth.
Smokey Eyes and Metallic Shadows
The classic smokey eye returns with a warmer twist, featuring eyeshadows in shades of brown, terracotta, and bronze. These tones create a sense of depth and are perfect for the cooler season. Metallic shadows, especially in techniques like the “halo eye,” are strong trends, adding a glamorous touch to your look.
Bold and Dark Lips
Lips take centre stage with bold, deep shades such as plum, wine, brown, and deep red. These dramatic colours are perfect for making a statement, whether with a matte finish or a soft sheen.
Radiant, Natural Skin
The trend for fresh, radiant skin continues into autumn, but in a subtler way. The “glow” effect is soft, ensuring a natural and luminous appearance. The glow is strategically placed on the high points of the face, such as the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and temples. For those who prefer a matte finish, contouring is done with precision, using powders to set the skin and enhance the face’s natural shadows, creating a cinematic effect.
Cream Blush in Earthy Tones
Cream blushes in shades like burnt peach, terracotta, and burnt rose are the season’s favourites. They are gently applied to the cheeks and even the temples, creating a seamless transition with illuminated skin.
Graphic and Creative Eyeliner
For those who like to experiment, graphic eyeliner remains a strong trend, with bolder, more creative lines, even incorporating double lines. Geometric shapes and liners in alternative colours like wine and navy blue bring a modern twist to the look.
Monochromatic Eyeshadows
The monochromatic eyeshadow technique is also very popular this autumn. Applying a single shade across the entire eyelid, such as caramel or copper, is a simple yet elegant way to enhance the eyes without complicating the look.
Natural, Textured Brows
Eyebrows are following the trend of volume and texture, but with a natural look. They are brushed upwards and set with gel or soap, maintaining structure and emphasising the eyes without looking overly drawn.
Kohl Pencil and Eyeliners
While darker shades are popular in autumn, it’s important to maintain the subtlety characteristic of the season. Therefore, it’s best to avoid overly intense colours and opt for liners that complement the muted tones of the season.
