It’s a new year, which means that the experts have had time to predict which movements in the make-up and beauty worlds are going to blow up in 2024. These are the beauty trends we’re excited about!
Year-round sunscreen
By now, most people should know the importance of wearing SPF to prevent UV damage. More and more people are also learning that we shouldn’t just be wearing it daily in the summer months but every day of the year. In 2024, spray formulas especially are going to be in the spotlight.

Molten chrome nails
Over the last couple of seasons, we’ve seen metallic and chrome nails everywhere from runways to red carpets. In 2024, they are going up a notch because this year it’s going to be all about molten chrome nails. This effect is created by combining chrome polish with intricate 3D nail art elements.

Skinimalism
This isn’t the first time that skinimalism has been trending. In fact, its moment has lasted for *so long* that by 2025 it will probably have moved from being a trend to being conventional! Not only does this refer to simple, three- to four-step skincare routines but also the use of more multipurpose products.

Graphic liner
Get your precision eyeliner pens ready because graphic liner will remain a major make-up trend in 2024. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that you have to have mastered the tricky winged-liner technique. Instead, this year will be about unleashing your creativity by wearing unique and alternative designs that include fun pops of colour.

Skin-barrier support
Many of us weren’t aware of our skin barrier and how easily disrupted it can be until we all had to don masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. The movement of giving our skin’s barrier extra support is predicted to continue growing this year (and beyond) because a healthy one is the cornerstone of a healthy complexion.

Monochromatic make-up
Many of the make-up trends that did the rounds in 2023, from latte make-up to strawberry girl make-up, were all monochromatic. This cohesive beauty look is set to dominate this year and can seriously streamline your beauty routine. It refers to using one product in the same shade on your eyes, lips and cheeks.
