I don't know about you, but the concept of make-up trends seems a bit outdated to me. In 2024, is anyone really changing up their go-to make-up looks just because a 'trend' tells them to? I have my doubts. And truthfully, I'm not sure make-up trends work in the same way nail trends and hair trends do. While I consider my nails and hair to simply be something to experiment with and switch up, my make-up is an extension of my being – I lean on it to make myself feel more like me. And, as a result, I like to stick to what works.
But while I don't believe in make-up trends as such, I do believe in shifts in our approach to make-up as a whole – and 2024 is all about a lower fuss, more relaxed approach. I'm talking low-maintenance skin looks, more experimental eye statements and leaning on colour to boost mood and spirits. To get the intel on what exactly we should have on our radars for the year ahead, I reached out to two of the best make-up artists I know: Mira Parmar and Ruby Hammer MBE. According to them, these are the 6 make-up 'trends' to know about for 2024.
