The Best Fall 2024 Makeup Trends: How to Achieve Bold and Understated Looks with ZenaMakeup

Bold Red Lipstick: A Timeless Staple

Bold, vibrant red lipstick is once again a standout trend for Fall 2024. This classic look is all about contrast, often paired with minimal makeup to let the lips take center stage.

• Start with a smooth, primed lip base.
• Use a lip liner to define your lip shape, ensuring a crisp, clean edge.
• Apply a rich, red lipstick. For a more natural look, opt for a stained finish by blotting the lipstick gently with a tissue.
• Pair this bold lip with minimal foundation and subtle cheek color for a striking contrast.

Smoky Eyes: Grungy and Dramatic

Smoky eye looks are back, but this time with a grungy, lived-in twist. This trend is all about embracing a more relaxed, smudged look.

• Begin with a light base on your eyelids to ensure even color distribution.
• Use a brown or black eyeshadow to create a smoky effect. Apply the shadow all over the lid, blending it well into the crease.
• Add depth with a darker shade on the outer corner of your eye and blend it outwards.
• For a grungy look, smudge the eyeliner slightly to give it a lived-in appearance.
• Finish with a coat of mascara to enhance your lashes.

Rockstar Liner: From Thin to Thick

Eyeliner is a key component of Fall 2024 makeup trends, ranging from thin, elongated lines to thick, glamorous looks.

• For a thin, elongated line, use a precise liquid liner like the ZenaMakeup Precision Liquid Liner. Start at the inner corner of your eye and work your way outwards, creating a subtle wing at the end.
• For a thicker, more dramatic look, use the same liner but apply it more generously. You can also layer it for a bolder effect.
• To add a touch of glamour, extend the liner slightly beyond the outer corner of your eye for a cat-eye effect.

Minimal Blush: Natural and Fresh-Faced

This season, there’s a shift towards more subtle, natural-looking cheek color. The focus is on minimal, fresh-faced glamour that enhances your natural skin tone.

• Choose a blush shade that complements your skin tone. For a natural look, opt for soft pinks or peaches.
• Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks using the ZenaMakeup Blush Brush. Blend it upwards and outwards towards your hairline for a seamless finish.
• Keep the rest of your face minimal with light coverage foundation and subtle highlighting.

Colorful Lashes: Bright and Bold

Colored mascara is making a statement this fall, particularly in bright blue and purple shades. This trend is all about creating a full monochromatic eye look.

• Start by applying a coat of black mascara to your lashes to provide a base.
• Follow up with a colored mascara on the tips of your lashes for a pop of color. You can also use colored mascara on the lower lashes for a more dramatic effect.
• To complete the monochromatic look, use eyeshadows in the same color family as your mascara.

Blurred Lips: Soft and Natural

Soft, diffused edges on the lips are preferred over overlined pouts this season. The focus is on natural, stained finishes that look effortless.

• Use a lip liner to define your lip shape, but avoid overlining.
• Apply a lipstick or lip stain and then blot it gently with a tissue to create a soft, diffused edge.
• For an even more natural look, use a lip tint or lip balm with a subtle color.

Matte Moments: Setting Powders and Less Glow

As the weather cools down, there’s a move towards matte looks, focusing on setting powders and less glowy skin.

• Apply a lightweight, oil-free foundation that matches your skin tone.
• Set your foundation with the ZenaMakeup Setting Powder to ensure it lasts all day.
• Avoid heavy highlighting and instead opt for subtle, natural-looking glow with a light hand on your highlighter.
• Use a matte eyeshadow palette to create a smoky or natural eye look without any shimmer.
