The runways have spoken, and we've got the inside scoop on the hottest beauty trends of 2024. From tales of balletcore beauty, striking graphic eyeliner, and red mystique, they're ready for you to make them your own. So, grab your brushes and let's dive in!
Colourful graphic eyeliner
2024 is the year of stepping outside the lines – literally! Abstract and colourful eyeliners are stealing the spotlight and shaking up the classic black. No coloured eyeliner in your collection? No problem! You can easily fake it with eyeshadow. Go full mermaidcore with electric blue and deep purple or frost it up with icy white and shocking pink to create a kaleidoscope of colours on your lids.

Balletcore aesthetic
Picture a dreamy fusion of saccharine hairdos and soft, slow beauty that accentuates your natural features. Balletcore embraces hyper-femininity in every way. Flushed cheeks, diffused lips, braids, and ballerina buns bring this coquette-inspired trend to life. Have fun with your blusher, whether it’s blush contour or undereye blush for that real-life doll effect and get whimsy with your hair using bows and ribbons.

Shades of red
Mysterious, seductive, and oh-so-romantic – red is making a bold comeback in 2024. While red lipstick has always been a staple in every woman's makeup arsenal, this year, we're cranking up the intensity. Whether you’re into matte or glossy, the key is to go for pigments so saturated and vivid they practically leap off your lips. But it doesn’t stop there; expect to see red popping up in unexpected places like your graphic eyeliner.

Strong side part
TikTok has become a hotbed for "it" hairstyles, and the latest Gen-Z trend takes a cue from good old millennials. Yes, you heard it right! The age-old debate of middle versus side part is officially put on the side – pun intended. Strong side part hairstyles have graced the runways of influential fashion shows, and it’s a simple yet impactful change that can transform your entire look.

High-gloss skin
Last year’s mermaidcore is evolving beyond the sparkly rhinestones and colourful eyeshadow. In 2024, it’s all about achieving that radiant, glass-like skin. Makeup artists are swearing by a combination of skincare and makeup techniques, including applying lip oil to high cheekbones for a healthy, dewy glow. The result? A picture-perfect finish that’s not just for the runway.
