2024 is definitely the year for embracing and experimenting with new trends, keep reading and find out more!
After looking at so many beauty trends in 2023, we can confirm there is so much more to look out for in 2024! Hours and hours of research later, we’ve spotted some of the most significant beauty trends of 2024 that will make headlines all year round, and we can confirm these trends will excite you more than anything! From bold lips to AI’s intervention in the beauty industry, there are so many things that will keep you scrolling and surfing on the web for hours, but to save you from that inconvenience, here’s Lipsteek’s prediction of the best beauty trends of the year 2024 that will make sure you are never behind!
Highlighters are back!!
Highlighters are making a massive comeback in 2024! Highlighting the elevated points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow line, and down your nose, and pairing them up with a liquid blush will give you the perfect soft glam look! 2023 was all about everyone experimenting with everything, and smooth, dewy makeup was a huge part. It will stay for 2024 as well, with cream and liquid highlighters as a massive part of it this year.
For a minimal, soft, glam look, try beginning with moisturized and hydrated skin and a hydrating primer to boost the glow; again, we are going for a smooth, dewy look, so opt for a lightweight foundation and conceal only what is necessary and (my Favorite part) start highlighting the elevated parts of your face with a cream or liquid highlighter for a natural and dewy look and voila! You’re done with your soft, dewy, glam look for this season!
Beauty trends combining makeup and skincare?
Individuals with mature and dry skin experience creasing with traditional concealers and prefer wearing concealer serums because of their rich ingredients and hydrating properties, which work well with dry skin by hydrating them for up to 24 hours at a go and blending well with their skin. The hydrating concealer serums provide a hydrating and more natural finish than traditional concealers and offer buildable medium coverage while addressing various skin issues. Skincare and cosmetic industries are calling for more hybrid products like concealer serums. The cosmetic industries can benefit from the formulation and development of more hybrid products that will benefit both the cosmetic and skincare industries combined.
Looking peachy this year
Pantone has crowned ‘peach fuzz’ as the year’s colour for 2024 and as the world-renowned authority for all things colour; how can we let that slide by? The makeup industry has left no crumbs after eating up this trend as fast as it came! You can incorporate a lot of peachy vibes in your wardrobe and makeup; this colour works universally well with all skin tones and gives you a fruity and subtle look. You can start with a peach blush and tint or peachy shades on your eyelids with a warm brown shade to add depth to your look.
Skin streaming
At some point in our lives, we all tried zipping up a bag that held much more than it was made to and embarrassingly tried to force even more stuff into it because there is so much to take and so little space to fit that. Toners, facial oils, serums (tons and tons of different serums), retinol, night creams, moisturizers, cleansers, face masks, and whatnot get packed into one makeup pouch, leaving no space for makeup. Then makeup goes into another pouch because you can’t skip on your daily skincare. Is that suitable?
This is where skin streaming will rescue you; a TikTok trend that inspired so many people to streamline their skincare routines will also continue to be a massive trend in 2024. Finally, a trend that motivates you to buy less and save more! Experts believe streamlining your skincare routine to 3-4 products will help address skin-specific issues more effectively than bombarding your skin with a 10-step skincare routine.
AI and beauty
AI is pretty much taking over everything right now, and who would’ve thought that one of its victims would be the beauty industry as well? Ai has beautifully intervened in the cosmetic and beauty industry with its personalized recommendations and skin scanners that will also be very useful for dermatologists and doctors in the medical sector.
You can now virtually try on products on your skin and see what works for you and what doesn’t! This will help save you money, time, and effort, and you will be able to get a fair idea of what looks good on you!
Dolled up!
This year is about being natural, and the doll cheek blush is returning! In 2024, blush will go on the apples of your cheeks; after trying so many different ways to put your blush on, the apple cheek doll blush is coming back in 2024 with a huge fan base. Doll blush gives you a charming young look and comes off as very soft and simple.
Chrome is the new black.
Holographic and cyber-wet looks are insanely loved by makeup artists and patrons worldwide. Chrome is set to make a massive comeback in 2024!
This trend allows makeup enthusiasts to glimpse into futuristic vibes and create bedazzling looks that scream BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL.
Say hi to cherry-cola lips.
People on TikTok love the cherry cola lips trend, and it is set to be huge in 2024 as well; deep red glossy lips with a hint of darker tones on the edges with a dab of lip-gloss make your lips go from ‘meh’ to ‘yay’ in a few minutes! This trend popped up around April 2023 after Kylie Jenner sported it on her Instagram, making us swoon over in awe. It is an ombre lip colour of deep reds and darker browns, and oh my! You are ready to be the belle of the ball!
Office sirens are blowing us in 2024
The minimalist office vibe has never been more accurate than in 2024. With this rising trend, the office siren screams classy with a hint of sass! Flashy fabrics and colorful outfits are your dreams but a little tricky to wear daily. Not only do some have the time to party, some of you are also working that 9 am to 6 pm jam, and this trend is a savior for you. The makeup hack for this is pretty simple, which makes it so attractive. You can quickly achieve this look with light makeup, classy colour palettes, and contoured faces. Who said you can’t work in style?
Say bye to body lotions!
Body serums are the new body lotion alternative in 2024; they are becoming more mainstream and soon take over the world for skincare enthusiasts. Body serums act better on your skin and do not cause irritation and rashes easily with their rich formulas. You can expect a rise in the market for body serums compared to body lotions in 2024 already!
WOW! Now that was a roller coaster. The fashion and cosmetic industry are ever evolving, and you can always expect something new at the end of every corner! We had a lot of fun while looking at these crazy yet cool trends for 2024, and here’s to hoping that more trends will come and go this year. You don’t have to apply all of them at once to stay updated with the trends; you can pick out which appealed to you the most and show them off!
