As the seasons change, so do makeup trends – and spring 2024 brings a fresh array of chic looks for you to experiment with (and partner with these classy, elegant, and affordable date night outfits). From radiant, glass-like skin to bold pops of color, here are eight makeup trends to try this season and elevate your beauty game.
Go Doll-Like with Glass Skin
Achieve a flawless complexion reminiscent of porcelain dolls with glass skin. This trend focuses on ultra-smooth, luminous skin with a delightfully dewy finish.
How to achieve this look: Start with a hydrating primer, light-reflecting foundation, or tinted moisturizer. Layer on a luminous highlighter on the high points of your face for an ethereal glow that effortlessly captures light.
Make a Statement with Chrome Eyes
If you’re looking for a futuristic edge to up your makeup ante, you might want to experiment with chrome eye color. Seen on the runways this season, shimmery chrome emphasizes the playfulness of the season.
How to achieve this look: Reach out for shimmering silver or iridescent hues applied to the eyelids for a striking effect. Use creamy chrome eyeshadow for an intense color payoff, and blend out the edges for a seamless finish.
Bring Back Those 90s Eyebrows
Channel the sleek and groomed eyebrows of the 90s with this timeless trend. The minimalist yet well-groomed look of 90s eyebrows provides an outstanding balance to the other playful, statement-making makeup trends of spring 2024.
How to achieve this look: Fill in sparse areas with a precise eyebrow pencil or gel, focusing on creating clean, defined arches. Brush brows upwards for a feathered effect that adds dimension and frames the face beautifully.
Get Lush and Full with Laminated Brows
If 90s eyebrows aren’t your thing, you might want to go the opposite route and do full-on lush. The laminated brow trend is still strong and looks like it’s here to stay. They add a beautifully manicured look while maintaining a natural appearance.
How to achieve this look: Start by brushing hair upwards and setting it in place with a clear brow gel or wax. This technique creates a lifted appearance and adds volume to your brows – making it the perfect way to frame your face while accentuating your natural beauty.
Be Vibrantly Healthy with Pink Blush
Pink is a winning color for spring—and this year, it’s making a bolder statement when used as blush. Choose vibrant colors that are brighter and more daring than your usual muted ones to give a daringly happy vibe that goes very well with all your summer outfits.
How to achieve this look: Opt for shades ranging from bright rose to bold fuschia and apply to the apples of your cheeks for a fresh and youthful flush. Cream or liquid blush formulas blend seamlessly into the skin, while powder blushes offer buildable intensity for a customizable look.
Balance Out Your Look With Nude Lips
Balance out colorful blush and shimmery eyes with nude lips for a chic and sophisticated finish. While color play is encouraged this season, you don’t want to go overboard or look overly done. A neutral lip will do a lot to train the focus on the fun and playful elements you have – whether they’re your cheek color or bold eye statement.
How to achieve this look: Choose a nude lipstick or lip gloss that complements your skin tone, opting for peachy, beige, or mauve undertones for a natural look. Pair with a lip liner to define the lips (an excellent opportunity to create a cupid bow on your lips!) and prevent feathering for long-lasting wear.
Little Pops of Color
And finally, inject fun and playfulness into your makeup routine with little pops of color that add personality to your look. Experiment with colored eyeliners in shades like teal, purple, or electric blue for a modern twist on the classic winged liner. Add sparkly highlights to the inner corners of your eyes or along the brow bone for a touch of glamour that catches the light.
Whether you prefer understated elegance or bold experimentation, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and incorporate into their beauty routine!
