The women's haircuts that will be a trend in 2024: the bob that will triumph in spring and many bangs
Why the voluminous bob, Italian style, is the definitive haircut of spring
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
Graphic eyeliner from the Georges Hobeika show.LAUNCHMETRICS SPOTLIGHT
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).

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

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

only in appearance, make up and confirm a revival
passed through the most chic sieve.

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
