6 FALL MAKEUP LOOKS TO TRY THIS SEASON
August 9, 2024 by Cat Quinn
After seasons of “clean girl” and “old money” minimalist luxury, the top fall makeup looks of 2024 will push the boundaries and introduce a new maximalist aesthetic.
Complexions will go from raw, no-makeup makeup to magnificently dressed in elevated Pearl Skin inspired by 18th- century portraits and coquette-core. Indulgent colour stories, such as Cranberry Makeup, Ingenue Blue and Mixed Metals,will bring a decadence to the season, pulling influence from classic cinema and trends from the 1920s. Even neutrals will take on new attitude, pulling from underground aesthetics and subcultures to form the Quiet Grunge look.
From a rich burgundy lipstick to a cool-toned eye shadow palette, these are the products and tutorials you’ll need to own every fall makeup trend this season.

Combine your Glow Play Blush and Serumizer for a custom Blue Smoothie.
HOW TO GET THE BLUSH SMOOTHIE TREND
This blush makeup trend improves your skin while you wear it. Inspired by the viral “skincare smoothie” – created by cocktailing serum and moisturizer – Blush Smoothie is a good-for-you blush combo that mixes M·A·C Glow Play Blush with Hyper Real SerumizerTM Skin Balancing Hydration Serum. “We want blush to be the same texture as the skin – so we’re making our own liquid blush,” says Terry Barber, M·A·C Creative Director of Makeup Artistry. “It’s plump and balloon-like on the cheeks.”
