It’s true that the clothes that appear on the Australian Fashion Week runways have a huge impact on our wardrobes each season, but the same can be said for beauty.
The week-long event sets the agenda for hair and beauty trends in everything from how you part your hair to the color you wear on your lips and even the shape of your eyebrows. So what did we learn from AFW 2024? Keep reading to find out about the beauty trends we’re watching this year.
NATURAL CURLS GET THE GIRLS
It’s time to say goodbye to your hair straightener. Natural curls reigned supreme on this year’s runway.
At EM on Holiday and Leandra, the hair had a gentle bounce, like a dip in the ocean, but little else, while at Albus Lumen it looked as if the model had run her fingers through her hair just before the shoot. As if, her hair was elegantly unlocked. To the catwalk.
Silver steals the scene
Chrome is making a comeback in the fashion world, but it was also the color of the moment for beauty at Australian Fashion Week. This trend was foreshadowed on many of this year’s international runways.
For his AFW debut, New Zealand designer Rory William Docherty added a touch of iridescence to his beauty in the form of a silver winged liner, while at Albus Lumen, a futuristic and cool liner gives models Her entire eyelid was filled with a silvery sheen. -Toned eyeshadow.
Anna Quan thought outside the box and sprinkled glittering silver on her models’ eyes and foreheads, while Mariam Sediq took it to a whole new level, sending models down the runway covered in chrome body paint.
Heavy on eyeliner
Move over, pretty girl. When aiming for a glamorous style, we take cues from Michael Lo’s Sordo’s Resort collection. There, heavy eyeliner reigned supreme. Don’t worry if you are new to makeup. This look doesn’t require any painstaking or complicated makeup. Instead, Michael Lo Sordo proclaimed an era of grunge glam, inspired by the easily smudged shadows and deep hues of the ’90s.
side part supremacy
Gen Z has been touting the superiority of middle parts for years, but this year’s runways said something different. Models from Rory Williams Docherty to Alix Higgins appeared on the runway at various shows, wearing side parts in every variation, designers said, with “sorry to Gen Z”.
blur lipstick lines
If you love bold lipsticks but tend to avoid them because they smudge or smudge, this trend is perfect for you. The “smudged lip” effect is on full display this season, as demonstrated by Bec + Bridge. Imagine applying your favorite red lipstick, then going out for cocktails and kissing late into the night, and how your lips will naturally fall apart.
