Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Week may have wrapped up, but its impact on our wardrobes and beauty routines is just beginning. The runways were a treasure trove of inspiring hairstyles and makeup looks that will soon make their way into our everyday lives. Beauty lovers, get excited—this season has something for everyone. From the harmonious blend of soft metallics that captivated attention at Jason Wu and Ulla Johnson to ultra-luminous skin embracing a natural glow, here’s your definitive guide to the top beauty trends that will define the colder months.

SOFT METALLIC HUES.
On the fall runway, shimmering metallic eyeshadows made a comeback. This season, however, the focus is on subtlety rather than a full metallic eye look. Opt for soft, delicate shades of champagne, rose gold, or silver to give the face a luminous, ethereal appearance that complements all complexions. Models at Jason Wu, Ulla Johnson, and Christian Dior showcased this refined metallic eye trend on the runway.

POP OF COLOUR.
For the AW’24 shows, makeup artists from Dior, Etro, and Chanel presented their takes on color by designing eye looks with vibrant shades of pink, blue, and green. They strategically applied colorful eyeshadow to the inner corners of the models’ eyes, creating bold, striking looks that set a new trend on the runway.

SOFT WINGED EYELINER.
While the classic cat eye remains a makeup staple, it’s receiving a subtle makeover this season. For Fall/Winter ’24, the cat eye trend is all about softness and precision. Instead of using lighter shades for a winged effect, this look enhances your natural features, making your eyes appear larger without heavy makeup.

CRIMSON RED.
The timeless red lip remains a staple for fall, dominating the runways for Fall/Winter 2024. This season, the red lip features richer hues, from deep crimsons to darker brown tones, moving away from traditional brighter reds. On the runways, the classic red lip is paired with naturally radiant skin and a light makeup base.

BLURRED-OUT LIPS.
Moving away from the defined, overlined lip trends of recent years, Fall/Winter 2024 introduces blurred-out lips, a look that exudes softness and ease. This trend is all about a softly diffused effect, giving your pout a gentle, hazy appearance. The edges are smudged, and the color appears delightfully faded, as if you’ve been sipping on a cozy drink all day. The result? A romantic, laid-back look with just the right pop of color!

ULTRA-LUMINOUS SKIN.
Fall/Winter 2024 redefines radiance for the colder months. Imagine hydrated, dewy skin with minimal makeup that allows your natural beauty to shine through. The trend of ultra-luminous skin continues to captivate, inspired by Pat McGrath’s stunning makeup for Maison Margiela last February. Achieving this effect starts with a solid skincare routine, focusing on hydration with moisturizers, serums, and face oils. Lightweight, sheer foundations or tinted moisturizers create an even skin tone while preserving your natural texture.

SOFT WAVES.
This season’s hair trend features soft waves, making a statement on the runways of Louis Vuitton, Chloé, and Stella McCartney for Fall/Winter 2024. In contrast to the tight curls and sleek waves of previous seasons, the soft wave style emphasizes movement and texture without excessive styling. This trend is versatile, suitable for all hair lengths—from bobs to long cascading tresses. The charm of soft waves lies in their adaptability; they can be worn casually for daytime outings or elegantly styled for evening occasions. Achieving this look is simple, whether using a curling iron or by braiding damp hair and letting it air dry.
