2024 Festive Makeup Trends

| Posted on |

The festive season is here, and it’s the ideal time to plan a standout makeup look for your holiday parties and gatherings. Here’s an insider look at the hottest makeup trends for 2024, including must-have products and tips from a Suffolk makeup artist to help you look stunning this season.

Top Festive Makeup Trends for 2024

So, what’s trending this year? From icy eyes to deep espresso tones, these looks bring both classic and modern twists to festive makeup:

 

 

1. Metallic & Frosted Eyeshadows The metallic eye is making waves for 2024, and it’s perfect for the festive season. Think icy eyes with frosted and metallic eyeshadows in shades of silver, gold, and copper. This “cold girl” makeup trend is all about capturing that frosty, wintry vibe. It pairs well with glowing, flushed cheeks, so try layering rosy and berry blushes to create that naturally flushed “winter walk” effect. Metallic eyes will make you stand out!

 

2. Berry Lips for Winter When it comes to lips, berry shades are a must for winter 2024. A soft berry gloss is great for daytime wear, while a darker, vampy berry lip adds drama for evening events. Pair your berry lips with the frosted eye trend, or keep it simple with a touch of liner and subtle mascara.

 

3. Espresso Makeup: Rich Browns for a Chic, Glam Look If icy eyes aren’t your style, espresso makeup might be the perfect alternative. Inspired by the “latte makeup” trend, espresso tones add a rich, warm depth to your look with shades like coffee, toffee, and chocolate. Espresso-toned eyeshadows, matte brown lip colours, and smoky brown liners create a warm, sultry vibe that complements winter fashion. This look is versatile and suits all types of holiday events.

 

4. Glam Grunge Party Look For those who want a bit of edge, the glam grunge look brings together smudged eyeshadows, kohl liner, and a rock ‘n’ roll vibe. This “morning after” style is effortlessly chic and perfect for a night out. Go for messy, smudged eyes, lots of kohl, and pair it with nude or brown lips. This look is low-maintenance yet high-impact, making it ideal for any Suffolk makeup artist’s quick holiday glam lineup.

 

5. Dewy Skin with a Natural Glow While matte foundations often take centre stage in winter, 2024’s festive season is all about a satin, glowy finish. Opt for medium to full coverage with a soft, dewy effect, focusing on high points like the cheeks and Cupid’s bow. Lightly powder the T-zone to prevent shine, but let your skin’s natural radiance shine through for a fresh, youthful look that pairs well with all festive makeup styles.
