Autumn is fast approaching, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to refresh your beauty routine. As the weather cools and the colours around us change, this season's beauty trends are always centred around depth and warmth and this year is no exception! From edgy eyes to classic lips and burnt blushes, fall 2024 is shaping up to be a season where bold meets natural in all the right ways. Let’s dive into my favourite beauty trends for this autumn…
Grunge Smokey Eye
This year, the grunge aesthetic has made a fierce return. From TikTok to runway I’ve been seeing a flashback of the 90s everywhere, and at the forefront is the grunge smokey eye. It's the ultimate cool-girl look, effortlessly chic with an undone edge. The key to this trend lies in its lived-in, messy appearance that feels rebellious yet wearable. For this look, opt for deep, moody shades like charcoal, black, or warm browns. Instead of going for a precise line, smudge your eyeliner along the upper and lower lash lines to create that iconic, slept-in look. To achieve this makeup I always reach for the 1.34 PRO - MY MINI LINE & DEFINE. This brush has a flat, dense tip which is perfect for smudging liner and achieving this it-girl look. To elevate it for autumn 2024, blend in earthy tones like burgundy, deep plum, or copper to soften the look and give it an autumnal warmth. Pair the grunge smokey eye with messy, textured hair and a relaxed outfit for the ultimate 90s throwback that feels current and edgy for this season!
Red lips with a natural base
Nothing says fall chic like a bold red lip. It's a timeless classic that instantly elevates any look, and for 2024, the red lip is making waves with a twist. All over my FYP I’m seeing a bold lip with a stripped back base and eye, putting all the focus on the pout. Contrasting barely there makeup with a red completely updates this classic look and gives it a fresh new feel! For the base, stick to light coverage foundations or skin tints that even out your complexion without masking your skin's natural texture. I recommend the Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint paired with the 0.18 - MY STIPPLING FOUNDATION to give an undetectable wash of colour that evens out your complexion. This look is the ultimate fresh makeup so we don't want the lip to give victory red! For a fun and youthful pout, reach for the 3.2 PRO - MY BUFF & BLUR brush. Its longer, flexible fibres are ideal for softly washing colour over the lips, giving you that effortless just kissed look. The gentle blending action helps create a soft, diffused edge, perfect for those who love a more natural, blurred lip effect!
Burnt blush
This fall, it's all about burnt blush- shades that echo the warm hues of autumn leaves. While soft pinks and peaches ruled the summer, autumn 2024 ushers in rich tones like burnt oranges and deep berry hues. These shades not only add depth and warmth but also beautifully mimic the fiery colours of fall, giving your face a natural glow. Apply your burnt blush on the lower part of your cheek to achieve this year's biggest trend, boy blush! For a more pigmented blush application, opt for the 0.7 - MY FLAWLESS FOUNDATION. Its flat fibres are perfect for packing on product, ensuring that your blush is bold and beautifully blended. The dense bristles allow you to build up the intensity, giving you a vibrant pop of colour that stands out, especially with deeper shades. Whether you're going for a dramatic look or simply want your blush to last longer, this brush will help you achieve a flawless finish! If a softer blush is more your style, reach for the 0.55 - MY STIPPLING BASE brush. The unique design features long white fibres and creates a delicate feathering effect that softly blends the blush for a natural finish. Meanwhile, the darker fibres at the base of the brush offer just the right amount of control, keeping the application precise and allowing you to build up colour gradually. This brush is perfect for those who prefer a sheer wash of colour that looks like a natural flush. Its stippling action diffuses the product effortless soft-focus finish that’s ideal for everyday wear or a more subtle makeup look. Whether you’re using cream or powder blush, the 0.55 - MY STIPPLING BASE ensures that your blush looks smooth, even, and beautifully blended with minimal effort!
Whether you’re leaning into the edgy grunge smokey eye, flaunting a bold red lip or warming up your complexion with burnt blush, this season is all about effortless sophistication and warmth. So, grab your favourite MYKITCO brushes, and get ready to embrace the fall!
