THE TRENDS

Autumn’s biggest beauty trends are here: get ready to embrace a more confident look.

BOLD MATTE LIPS

No longer reserved for evening wear, bold matte red lips are a key AW24 trend. Makeup artist Diane Kendal used Nars on the Khaite runway, showcasing the most impactful way to nail this trend.

90’S GRUNGE EYES

Want a new way to work your eyes? Grunge is back and in a glamorous way.  Create a slightly dishevelled, smudgy and sexy look using dark, smoky and earthy tones. 

PRISTINE POLISH

According to Nailberry, crisp, clean, pristine polishes are set to make a big comeback this autumn. Choose a modern neutral that really stands out.  We love their opaque Flocon snowflake shade. 

BOYFRIEND BLUSH

Moving on from summer’s sunburnt blush, create a slightly ruddy look like you’ve just come back from a brisk walk outdoors. Choose a creamy blush with a red or deep berry base as these are the tones found naturally in your face.

FEATHERY BROWS

Say goodbye to bold and blocky brows, this season it’s all about a subtle, natural finish. Think feathery not fluffy and use a slim gel pencil with a fine tip.  This is the best way of recreating believable, brow-hair strokes.

GLASS SKIN

The trend for low maintenance, natural-looking makeup continues. The goal?  To create the healthiest and most hydrated version of your skin possible.  

BOUNCY BLOW DRY

Big hair is back. From jumbo back-combed bouffants to big impactful blow-dries, this season, it’s all about adding height and bounce. GHD’s Rise Hot Brush promises 2 x more volume… form an orderly queue.
