As the warm summer days give way to the cozy vibes of autumn, it’s time for a seasonal makeup refresh. Celebrity makeup artist Emily Clarkson is here to share the top makeup trends that will take over fall 2024. With insight gained from working with celebrity clients and on various shoots, Clarkson breaks down the upcoming season’s must-try looks.
1. Flushed Cheeks
- Trend: The flushed, ‘faux sunburned’ look that was popular in spring and summer is staying strong for autumn. Clarkson emphasizes red or deep berry tones to enhance natural coloring.
- Key Tips: Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks and across your nose, blending with your fingers. Leftover product can be pressed into the lips for a cohesive, natural glow. For extra post-summer flair, add a few faux freckles.
2. Cool Eyes
- Trend: Subtle, lived-in eye makeup with a 90s twist is making a comeback. Clarkson recommends cool-toned eyeshadows paired with inky black eyeliner in the waterline for a chic, slightly undone party look.
- Key Tips: Layer on the mascara and embrace a less precise application for a relaxed, effortlessly cool vibe.
3. Blurred Lips
- Trend: Low maintenance and blurred lips are the next big thing. This look is all about soft, imperfect edges that don’t require frequent touch-ups.
- Key Tips: Start with a lip stain, then apply lip liner across the lips. Stretch your lips and blur the edges with your fingers for a naturally diffused effect. Pair with flushed cheeks for a long-lasting, cohesive look.
4. Glass Skin
- Trend: Matte skin is out, and glass skin is here to stay. Clarkson notes that natural, radiant skin will remain a top trend throughout the rest of the year.
- Key Tips: Achieving this look starts with great skincare. Prepping and hydrating the skin before makeup ensures a glowing, dewy finish that looks fresh and healthy.
5. Feathery Brows
- Trend: Thick, blocky brows are being replaced by natural, feathery brows. Clarkson highlights the importance of subtle, well-groomed brows for a polished yet understated look.
- Key Tips: Apply brow gel before skincare to lock brows in place all day. It’s all about finding the right product for your brow texture to achieve a natural, feathery effect.
From soft, flushed cheeks to effortless lips and brows, these trends are all about enhancing natural beauty in a subtle, understated way. Fall 2024 is set to bring a refreshing change to your makeup routine with these expert-approved looks.
