I took the time to check the most popular makeup trends for this year. There are so many options, but I created this list with the ones that, in my opinion, are the easiest to recreate and elevate your day or night makeup looks. Okay, let’s jump to the list!
This post is about the best Makeup Trends 2024.
1. Highlighter is Back
Highlighter is back; it’s not that it went away, but this year, highlighter will be a big part of your makeup routine. Do not be afraid of applying a highlighter to enhance those areas of your face, like your T-zone, checkpoints, or brow bone.
You can use any highlighter of your preference or a dewy setting powder. Here are a few affordable and high-end recommendations.
2. Ombre Lips
This is one of my favorite trends. Yes, this trend is so 90s but much better. Ombre Lips help to emphasize your lips and make them look more voluptuous. For this trend, you use a lip liner that is darker than your lipstick shade. The shades should be around the same color family, just slightly darker.
Here are a few affordable recommendations.
3. Blue Eyeshadow
This year, cool tones are back, especially blue. You can create beautiful and fun looks with pastel blues for the day and dark blues for a night out.
Here are a few affordable recommendations.
4. Velvet Skin
For the last couple of years, we have been into the natural dewy finish, what we call clean makeup girl. This year, the trend will continue. However, we will be looking into a more semi-matte finish. For this look, you can use a tinted moisturizer or light to medium foundation and finish it with a matte setting powder.
Here are a few affordable and high-end recommendations.

5. Red Lips
There is nothing like adding a pop of color to your makeup look than red lipstick. This year, red lips are trendy; there are many options: bright red and vampy red; whatever your option is, don’t be afraid to get bold and elevate your look.
You can have a minimal makeup look and finish it with a beautiful red shade, like the picture above, which is very classic.
Here are some affordable recommendations.
6. Monochromatic Makeup
The 90s monochromatic makeup looks will continue as part of the 2024 makeup trend. At the end of 2023, we saw the latte makeup trend everywhere; these are perfect for minimalistic looks where you can use one palette to create a fabulous and chic everyday look.
Here are some affordable and high-end recommendations.
7. Colorful Eyelashes
I love brown mascaras. They give you a glam finish to your lashes, but for 2024, colorful lashes are returning. We already see brands like Loreal and Colorpop with Red, Pink, Green, and Blue mascaras. This trend is fun and an opportunity to add color to your makeup look.
Here are some affordable recommendations.
8. C Blush Sculpting
Contouring with blush instead of bronzer is a trend that we saw in 2023 and will continue in 2024. This trend gives the illusion of high cheekbones; the technique involves applying matte powder or cream blush in a C shape from the temple down to the cheekbones. This trend is excellent when you want a minimalistic yet glamorous look.
Here are some affordable and high-end recommendations.
9. Grunge Makeup
Continuing with 90s Makeup Trends, we will also see in 2024 the clean face and grunge eye look. This is such a nice and easy look to recreate, you don’t need much, just a good black or dark brown eyeliner that you can easily smudge.
There are also eyeshadow palettes that can facilitate the look if you don’t feel comfortable using eyeliner as your eye base.
Here are some affordable and high-end recommendations.
