Check out the lasting beauty and fashion trends from 2023 that we’re still loving in 2024!
Glass Skin: Glass skin is the newest thing; say goodbye to matte complexion. A skincare routine that emphasizes hydration with serums and moisturizers for a plump, glowing complexion is necessary to achieve a bright, dewy look.
Monochromatic Makeup Magic: In 2024, the monochromatic makeup trend will still be popular since it enables users to put together coordinated looks by using complementary lipstick, blush and eyeshadow shades. The options range from delicate pinks to bold browns.
Faux Freckles for a Sun-Kissed Glow: To look sun-kissed without getting UV damage, embrace faux freckles. This technique entails applying makeup to the skin to simulate freckles.
Reverse Makeup Unveils a Natural Look: A TikTok shocker, the reverse makeup trend involves applying contour, highlight and blush before foundation. Not only does it aid flawless blending, it also helps gauge the right amount of foundation needed.
Red Nail Theory: In 2023, red nails make a strong reappearance since they are linked to confidence and strength. Wearing red nails is a must-try TikTok fad because, according to the Red Nail Theory, it radiates power and dominance and is attractive.
Gradient Lips: Use gradient lips to update your beauty game. For more depth, mix darker lip colors toward the outer corners and lighter lip colors toward the center.
Skinimalism: Skincare routines are made simpler by the skinimalism trend without sacrificing effectiveness. Just do the essentials: Wash, exfoliate, moisturize and wear sunscreen. Read up on the ingredients used on the products you choose.
Blush Draping: Try out different hues and textures by applying blush higher than normal and emphasizing your cheekbones and temples to create the illusion of a DIY facelift.
Glossy Lips: Glossy lips are still in style that provides a polish to your whole look. For your skin tone and lip shape, select the appropriate shade and formula.
Latte Makeup Brews a Glowy Look: Inspired by caffeine hues, the latte makeup trend focuses on bronze-y tones for a radiant, sun-kissed finish, skipping blush for warm, caramel hues.
Douyin Makeup Persists: Drawing from Chinese and East Asian beauty aesthetics, the Douyin makeup trend aims for a soft, innocent, doll-like appearance with a focus on eyes and aegyo-sal.
Strawberry Girl: Embrace the no-makeup look with faux freckles and a strawberry-flushed glow is inspired by Hailey Bieber’s tutorial.
