Fall 2024's Biggest Makeup Trends Are Made Easy With These 18 Luxury Beauty Finds

Makeup trends luxury products.

I love an easy, breezy summer makeup look. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that fall 2024 makeup trends, which are poised to be the perfect mix of maximalism and minimalism, have me excited. “Everyone is still into no-makeup makeup, but it’s the grunge version of it. You’ll see a grunge eye against a baby skin face with just concealer, or no mascara with a bold red lip,” celebrity makeup artist Dani Parkes tells me.

The season is all about juxtaposition. On the one hand, the influence of the French girl is very apparent. Just look to the surge in popularity of matte red lipsticks (Chanel just dropped a gorgeous hue) that pair perfectly with light coverage concealers (Victoria Beckham and Augustinus Bader’s launch is a Marie Claire office favorite). On the other hand, over-the-top accents are taking off. The red blush trend is blowing up on TikTok (Dior’s Rosy Glow is the best product for the job) and, according to Parkes, glitter lipstick is having a resurgence.

Having the right products is the key to executing these fall 2024 makeup trends. Elegant formulas, blendable textures, and a high-pigment finish are of the utmost importance. Thankfully, luxury brands like Charlotte Tilbury, NARS, and Hourglass (just to name a few) have cult-favorite products and new launches that are up for the job.

I spent hours sorting through my favorite high-end buys to bring you the best luxury makeup products to own fall 2024's biggest beauty trends. Shop my picks ahead.

If You Want Shimmery Lips

“Glitters are going to pop off more than they already have,” says Parkes. Add a little excitement to your lip look by tapping a hint of liquid glitter eyeshadow onto the center of your lips.

If You Want Bold Blush

Summer blush trends are going to bleed into fall. The biggest of them all: the red blush trend. “I think people love this trend because it's so surprising how good it looks,” RMS founder Rose Marie Swift previously told me. “Pink is too soft—the red just gives that pinch of color as if the blood was drawn to your cheeks.”

If You Want Smoky Brown Liner

“The espresso and latte makeup that was popular last season is getting elevated even more this fall,” says Parkes. “Take a liner and smudge it out, then do a tightline and some brown mascara.” You can go lighter during the daytime but really reach for deeper hues if you want a high-impact look for nighttime.

If You Want a Bare Face and Bold Lip

If you want to pull some French girl inspiration, this trend is for you. “No mascara and a bold lip is going to be huge again,” says Parkes. “Red and soft browns will be very popular.”

If You Want to Go Grunge

“Pair a pale face with a dark eye,” says Parkes. While I can’t reveal my sources (yet!), this look is going to be all over New York Fashion Week. You can opt for a true black, smudged-out liquid liner, or go for colors with green or purple undertones.

If You Want to Underpaint

While this trend initially took off last year when makeup artist Mary Phillips coined the term, the makeup application technique is gaining steam with more makeup artists this season. Not only is Parkes on board, but Patrick Ta previously told me it’s his go-to application method at the moment.

To achieve the natural look, apply your bronzer and blush underneath a light coverage foundation. Blend everything together with a makeup sponge and you’re good to go.
