New York Fashion Week showed exciting beauty trends for spring 2024. From bold colours to ‘90s- inspired looks, the style was both artistic and easy to try.

Refined Cat Eye

Experience the allure of the refined cat eye look that’s captivating the beauty scene. This timeless style offers a sleek and polished appearance, perfect for any occasion. With precise lines and subtle flicks, this eye look can add a touch of sophistication to your gaze. To achieve this look, delicately outline the upper lash line using a liquid eyeliner, gradually extending the line outwards. You can even add an inner corner line for a more feline look.

Mermaid Core

The beauty aesthetic at Jason Wu aimed to evoke the impression of models emerging from a shipwreck, embracing elements of the Mermaidcore style. Hairstylist Jimmy Paul described the look as achieving a wet, almost drenched appearance while maintaining the fluid movement of the models’ natural hair texture.

Expressive Eyeshadow

Bright and vibrant eye makeup is a common sight on spring runways, but this season, the creative expressions were particularly striking. At the Mansur Gavriel show, Kanako Takase, the lead makeup artist for Addiction Tokyo, adorned models eyes with bold bursts of monochromatic colour, complemented by radiant, luminous skin.

‘90s Beauty

Drawing inspiration from ‘90s supermodel vibes, Raoul Alejandre styled the models at Luar with sun-kissed bronzed skin, precise tightlined eyeliner, and lips featuring ombre brown hues. To achieve this look, Alejandre used MAC lip liners in Chestnut and Cork, layered with Squirt Plumping Gloss Stick in Like Squirt and Simulation.

Grunge Eye Makeup

The enduring fondness for past decades remains evident, with a resurgence of grungy, ‘90s-inspired beauty trends making a comeback. Grunge makeup is typically known for its casual and undone look, featuring softly blended liners and shadows for a rock-inspired vibe. Romero Jennings, MAC’S Director of Makeup Artistry, played a pivotal role in this revival at Prabal Gurung.

Colourful Mascara

Sticking with bold makeup looks for 2024, for several months, bleached brows and adorned arches have been stealing the show. Now, it’s the turn of eyelashes to embrace vibrant hues. Models at both the Prada fall 2023 and AZ Factory spring 2024 shows spored lengthy falsies in shades of blue, pink, and purple.

Vibrant Blush

For those who tend to apply makeup with a bold touch, this trend is tailor-made for you. Celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath predicts a resurgence of statement- making blush. Whether it’s delicately applied akin to watercolours using a creamy formula like the Divine Blush: Legendary Glow Colour Balm, or dramatically draped along the temples with a powder formula like the Skin Fetish: Divine Blush, this trend offers versatile options.
