…basically, all shades of red. While hues of crimson and scarlet are often used on our lips or painted onto our fingertips, 2024 will see us use the colour in fun and experimental ways.

Red blush will become as commonplace in our make-up bags as traditional pinks and corals. If you’re prone to redness or rosacea and prefer taking away any signs of red, re-consider your blush placement. Focus your blush on the temples instead, blending it out towards your hairline.

As for red eyeshadow, we encourage sweeping the colour all over. But if that sounds scary, ease yourself in with colour eyeliner instead. Either use a red pencil, or buff a red eyeshadow along the lashline. While on lips, upgrade your classic red lip with a shiny finish. At Alice + Olivia’s SS24 show, lead make-up artist Elyse Reneau created what she described as “the revenge lip: a bold red lip dripping in juicy gloss”.

From ‘ethereal accents’ to ‘soft grunge’, these are the make-up trends set to be big in 2024
