When it comes to beauty looks on the catwalk, avant-garde styles always catch attention. However, they are not always practical for everyday wear. Fortunately, amongst the more theatrical creations, there are a few standout trends each season that offer inspiring and wearable options for refreshing your beauty routine. After reviewing the Spring/Summer 24 shows, I have identified three top trends that I am excited to try this season. Whether you prefer warm, sunset-inspired hues or a bold, blue eyeshadow, there’s something for everyone to experiment with.
One of the standout trends from the Spring/Summer 24 shows is the use of warm, golden hour tones in makeup looks. Designers such as Tibi and Carolina Herrera incorporated shades of golden orange, baked terracotta, and peachy corals. To recreate this trend, you can experiment with a smudged under eye shadow in a nineties style or try calligraphy-like liner. At Ulla Johnson, the two-toned lip look, inspired by a sunset, made a statement. Make-up artist Romy Soleimani suggests lining and filling your lips with lip liner before applying your chosen lipstick to ensure longevity and prevent smudging.
As I have grown older, I have found myself sticking to safe and neutral eyeshadow shades. However, this season, I am determined to be more adventurous and make blue eyeshadow work for me. The Spring/Summer 24 shows showcased variations of periwinkle, cobalt, and teal eyeshadows at designers like Etro and Del Core. To ease into this trend, you can use a thin brush to line your lower lashes with your chosen shade, keeping the rest of your makeup minimal for a subtle pop of color. The great thing about this trend is that there is a shade of blue for everyone, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different tones.
Trend 3: Hydrated Nude Lips
Achieving a natural, no-makeup makeup look is always desirable, and this season, hydrated nude lips take center stage. Makeup artist Vilde Feste recommends starting with a lip scrub to create a smooth canvas for your lipstick, followed by a generous application of lip balm. This allows the balm to work its magic while you apply the rest of your makeup. Don’t be afraid to mix lip colors to find a flattering shade for your complexion. Fairer skin tones often suit cooler, pinkier tones, while deeper complexions can opt for warmer, brown or golden tones. Look for creamy, transparent textures for the most natural finish.
The Spring/Summer 24 shows have offered a range of exciting beauty trends that are worth exploring. From warm golden hour tones to bold blue eyeshadow and hydrated nude lips, there are plenty of options to refresh your beauty routine this season. Remember to adapt these trends to suit your personal style and preferences. Have fun experimenting and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.
