Everything's fair in love, in war... and in

the makeup trends for spring 2024.

Because if for years the trends were rigid, they were, and anything that deviated from the prevailing ones was absolutely 'demodé' , the lines today are diluted and expanded, making

what is carried... everything (or almost).

If in the past matte lips

were worn ,

there was no room for

gloss. If

the eye

was worn in black,

the color would disappear for an entire season. If she ordered that

the eyelashes not be made up,

not even a trace of mascara would remain on them. Today, however,

conviviality is the maxim

of makeup trends.

It is true that, for years, the references to follow came

from the catwalks,

just like fashion, almost solely and exclusively. Added to them was what was seen on TV. Today, between TV is no longer just TV

(streaming and platforms

have made audiovisual references infinite) and

social networks

create their own trends, we live rather in the universe of

microtrends.

There are so many of them that it will be rare to find one that does not adapt to each one's style, because that is what they are for.

Deep down, the fact that there are so many trends that it seems that anything goes, which is partly the case, is very much in line with

the beliefs of many professional maquiladoras.

Like

Marta Arce,

who defends that makeup has to serve to be true to yourself and that

you should never assume any rules.

Peter Philips,

director of Creation and Image of

Dior

makeup, moves along the same line ,

who in his

last interview for Yo Dona

stated that "what the democratization and globalization of beauty has taught us is that

every difference is acceptable." ,

there are no taboos, and that

the biggest trend in makeup is makeup itself,

because what we want is to

express ourselves

with colors and play."

Why spring 2024 trends look to the past

Having said all this, there are

certain lines (but neither red nor inflexible)

that mark the spring of 2024. And the vast majority draws on

past decades,

reminding us of things we have already seen... as long as we already have a certain age.

That, precisely, is the key.

It is not necessary to always invent,

many times it is the new generations that relaunch trends in a new way, because for them it is something they have never worn, and because it is reinvented in a new context. "Or because several trends are combined, and

something new comes out of the combination,"

as Peter Philips points out. "Sometimes the new, the trend, is born from the way of bringing something that existed

with a new impulse,"

he continues.

This phenomenon also occurs in perfumery, for example. Perfumer

Ane Ayo,

a young Spanish nose behind great current hits, declared to Yo Dona some time ago that she notices that

new generations see something modern in the old.

Come on, they don't have the aroma of their grandmothers linked to something old, perhaps because they never smelled them.

"What smells classic to us does not do so to young people.

The apprentices, for example, love lilac, a classic ingredient that our grandmothers used. But they are younger, they do not have that reference in their memory.

For them it is something new".

If we take this reflection from Ayo to makeup, we can find the same case in

blue eye makeup,

one of the strong trends this spring, by the way. For decades, it was almost forbidden, because grandmothers wore makeup like that, no matter who fell. The thing is that the grandmothers of generation Z are not ours and perhaps

they did not abuse blue

enough to create trauma...

Reflections made, these are

the new (or renewed) spring 2024 makeup trends

that are popular and are suitable for all tastes.

With precise lines... and with volume

The aesthetic of the season speaks of stripes, of

eyeliners

that tear the eye to infinity and thicken in a hybrid of

eyeliner and shadow.

And also stripes that define the hairstyles, whether in the middle, on the side or as a line that divides a polished and glued front from a mane - or updo - with volume at the crown.

It is the new advent of

sixties glam,

that sophistication of

Truman Capote's 'swans' that the

'Feud'

series captures ,

in a film trend that claims eternal elegance from yesterday to today.

Basics for a 'swans' look: Couture Eyeliner by Yves Saint Laurent (42 euros). Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Intimatte Blushing Nudes lipstick (44 euros). Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation makeup base (70 euros). To keep your hair in check, Kevin Murphy's Session Flex setting spray (€31.50).DR

The new romanticism

Diametrically

opposed

to the

'new romantics' of the 80s,

where excess was the wheel to follow, this trend that conquers fashion and beauty brings out

the femininity of the 21st century

through subtle details.

Whether it is baptized as

'coquette'

or

'ballet core',

the name does not matter, but

the interpretation.

What in clothing translates into garments full of

bows, lace or pastel colors,

in makeup becomes

a minimalism of glowing,

luminous but natural skin, discreet lip gloss and

rosy cheeks

(without going overboard).

ballerina buns or pigtails with flourishes - and flowers, if we look at

Ties, as in fashion, are received with open arms.

A romantic look: Kérastase Elixir Ultime hair oil (€30.40). Kiko Milano Volumizing LipShine lip gloss (12.99 euros). Dior Forever Glow Maximizer liquid highlighter by Dior (42 euros). Elvive Glycolic Gloss Laminate Treatment, to seal the hair and enhance shine from L'Oréal Paris (9.99 euros).DR

The grunge style revisited

Grunge is worn like this today, according to Elisabetta Franchi's fashion show.LAUNCHMETRICS SPOTLIGHT

The 90s are still in good shape, and they bring out their most transgressive side, although in a refined version of that

and disheveled hair.

To do this, the looks are outlined with

a precise pencil line,

goodbye blurred, on the water line (upper and lower), and the white pallor of the grunge tribe disappears in favor of

skins gently tanned

with sun powder. Lips in the range of

browns

and textured hairstyles with a

dirty effect,

only in appearance, make up and confirm a revival

passed through the most chic sieve.

Get a neogrunge look with: Bobbi Brown Luxe Lipsick satin lipstick (46 euros). Guerlain Terracotta Light sun powder (55 euros). Bourjois Contour Clubbing long-lasting eye pencil (13.05 euros).DR

Lips to power

show , inspired by

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy

and her minimalist makeup, demonstrates how

colored lips

create an infallible total look, little else is needed.

The protagonists of the season? Poppy

red

,

skin beige

and

, as a disruptive tone, a

dark burgundy

that has become popular as Cherry co*ke.

Full color eyeshadows... and what color(s)

The shadow -pun intended- of 'Barbie' is elongated and, although

the pink tide of Barbiecore

is fading from our closets, it resists in

eye makeup.

Color conquers, trend rules, upper eyelids (mobile and fixed), with a point of light in the tear duct and without mascara.

Pink is not the only splash of color in spring 2024. According to Pinterest's trends report of the year, for

Generation Z eye shadows will be blue...

or they won't be. The search has grown by up to 100%, with key terms such as glam blue makeup or pastel blue eyeshadow. Another exercise in nostalgia, this time from the 60s. The best? There is a blue for every skin and eye type.

Full color shadows: Ombres Marines by Hermès (104 euros). Prada Dimensions Pure color trio (80 euros). Le 9 by Givenchy (68 euros). Eye Color Solo by Clé de Peau Beauté (30 euros for the pink shadow, 20 euros for the shell).DR
