Summer haters rejoice, fall is finally here. And with the changing of the weather comes the transition to fall clothes—but should our makeup transition too? Other than the obvious swap from a lightweight foundation to one with more coverage, there’s no clear answer. With all of the makeup trends that come and go, it can be hard to keep track of them all. But rest assured, those age-old vampy lips don’t have to be the only fall trend you follow. I tracked down the hottest fall makeup trends of 2024, so you can look your best as the leaves start to fall.
Luckily for us, fall is a great time to experiment with makeup. Since we spend the whole summer wearing as little makeup as possible so it doesn’t melt off—we grow excited to try out new makeup looks once fall comes around. And if you’re bummed about switching out your favorite mini dress for your fall coat, makeup is a great way to feel like yourself again.
This fall, there are tons of makeup trends to try out for yourself. Although there are some iterations of typical fall trends like flushed red blush and grungy lived-in eyeliner, new favorites like K-beauty inspired blurred lips and spiky manga lashes are sure to make waves. No matter what you’re doing this season, be ahead of the curve by following the trends that’ll be everywhere soon.
