Below are the promising new makeup trends expected to create a “storm” and shake up the fashion world.
The “mirror finish” effect In 2023, chrome-coated nails, a stylish mirror finish effect, took the spotlight. Stepping into the new year, this dazzling mirror effect transitioned to makeup application. From eyeshadows, highlighters, foundations to lipsticks, sparkling glitter effects are favored by women to the fullest. Not only using eye shimmer to adorn the upper eyelids anymore, an extra touch is added to eye makeup by using sequins to cover the entire eyelid, predicted to shake up the fashion world in 2024. Not limited to eye makeup, the reflective mirror effect is also incorporated into lip application, foundation application, eyebrow drawing,… or eyelash coating. Besides the glittery types, the mirror finish effect promises to be updated with various different materials.
Makeup “kit” of ballet dancers Although being a heavyweight competitor in the trend race of 2023, balletcore is remembered by everyone with a stylish wardrobe. The rise of Coquette Beauty in the last months of 2023 is perhaps the “momentum” for the balletcore makeup style to become the focus of the beauty world in 2024. Silk ribbons, sleek hair buns, natural makeup layers with dominant pink tones,… the feminine appearance of ballet dancers gradually infiltrates into the new-age beauty universe, especially at a time when the fashion world is enthralled with minimalist makeup styles, natural makeup looks but still captivating. With gentle pink as the dominant color, the makeup layout from the balletcore trend is highlighted with sparkling highlighter layers.
The dark allure of the witch The popularity of the TV series “Wednesday” helped the Gothic makeup style “redeem itself.” The eerie and dark beauty is no longer frightening, but instead irresistible and intriguing. Across fashion runways throughout 2023, makeup layouts in gothic, eccentric styles became the dominant trend. Black lips that used to be less favored due to their lack of versatility are now actively embraced. Once a rarely used lipstick color due to its lack of flexibility, women are increasingly fond of using black lipstick to create special accents for their overall appearance. Black brings quirky lips, full of personal style. Not stopping there, women are even more creative when using black lip liners, combined with lips of different colors, or using black lipsticks with glittery accents, impressively. The Gothic makeup trend also brings bold, long, sharp eyeliners, strange and bold eyelashes. With such intriguing appeal, surely the dark allure of witches will continue to resonate in the coming year.
Deep red tone from Bordeaux wine 2023 was the time when the beauty world and fashion welcomed the impressive debut of Strawberry girls, or Tomato girls. From the end of 2023 and possibly into 2024, get ready for the “storm” of Bordeaux wine red. Similar to the deep red of cherry cola trending, but Bordeaux wine red will have a deeper shade, reminiscent of eerie and powerful makeup layouts. Not only popular in lip color, Bordeaux wine red promises to be seen on nails and hair colors of all women.
Pastel eyeshadow Although not the first time pastel colors have “made waves” in the beauty world, these shades will be favored above all in 2024. The dominant color of 2024, “Peach Fuzz,” a sweet pink-orange color, is the first hint of the upcoming pastel wave in the beauty world in 2024. From sky blue, apricot, pink to lavender, the gentle and “eye-catching” nature of these shades will help women start 2024 more gently, bringing distinctive makeup layouts, simple but impressive with sweet beauty. A pastel color palette is enough to make your makeup layout modern. For those who like creativity and breakthroughs, try unique color combinations from the pastel color palette!
