As we welcome Autumn, it’s a great time to update our makeup and beauty routines. Unsure where to begin? Let’s explore the autumn makeup trends you’re most likely to wear in 2024. Blending new and nostalgic elements, there’s a standout look for every mood and occasion. The hottest makeup trends for Fall include pearl skin—a radiant yet subtle take on glass skin, frosted lips—a throwback look revamped for 2024, subtle smoke—the timeless smokey eye you’re sure to reach for all season, and much more.

Copper Glow

For the girl seeking glow without the glitter, consider wearing copper. This understated look highlights the eyes with shimmering copper, while the rest of the face is natural and subtle. Warm or cool-toned copper compliments every skin tone making it easy to pull off.

Fresh Makeup

The “fresh makeup” trend aims to achieve a natural and radiant look. You can still apply the basics, such as foundation, concealer, contour and blush, but choose formulas that provide a natural, skin-like finish.
For the lips, replace lipstick with a lip tint or balm, and for the eyes, avoid using heavy mascara for a defined yet natural look that opens up the eye.

Blush Draping

Do you want to create a striking makeup look for the evening? The “blush draping” technique is the way to go. Start by applying your blush from your temples and sweeping it toward the apples of your cheeks in a C-shape formation. This sculpting method creates a lifted effect, giving the illusion of higher, sharper cheekbones. What more could you ask for?

Super Glossy Lips

Autumn calls for cosy layers, so we’ll be layering up the hottest lip combos this season. For an exaggerated pout with a glass-like shine, look no further than MAC for a long-lasting look. Use a deeper shade of lipliner to slightly overline the lips and fill in with a gorgeous lip shade for a beautifully plump and defined look.

Pearl Skin

Here’s a makeup trend that is expected to remain popular in 2024: pearl skin. It’s a softer and more diffused alternative to glass skin, giving an ethereal glow without the wet-look finish that comes with glass skin. The good news is that you can create flawless, pearl-like skin using makeup, skincare, or a combination of both. Our top picks below can be used to achieve a soft pearl finish or a more intense glow.

Shop the Look:

Subtle Smoke

You don’t need to use dark eyeshadow shades to create the perfect smokey eye. Muted colours such as camel, taupe and beige will accentuate the eye and still look appropriate for daytime. You can also highlight the inner corners for brightness or skip that altogether for a more subtle look.

Burgundy Eyeliner

Thanks to brands like Miu Miu and Saint Laurent, burgundy is everywhere in fashion right now, and it’s proven to be just as relevant in the beauty realm. From Clinique’s viral Black Honey Lipstick to Charlotte Tilbury’s Push Up Lashes mascara in ‘Dream Pop’, there’s a quick and easy option for your makeup routine. If you’re searching for a rich burgundy eyeliner, the Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Liner in ‘Bordeaux’ is one of the most flattering shades available.

Frosted Lips

The days of crease-prone frosted lipstick are long gone. Modern liquid formulas are taking over, and they come with skincare benefits. Bestselling products like Pat McGrath Labs’ Lust Lip Gloss or Roen’s Kiss My Liquid Lip Balm Shimmer contain skincare ingredients that nourish your lips while providing an ethereal, multidimensional shimmer.
