Behold, Fall’s Largest Make-up Pattern: Y3K Magnificence

On the subject of what you need to have in your equipment, this look doesn’t require a lot. For the eyes, you want an excellent, long-lasting black eyeliner pencil (we like R.E.M. Magnificence’s smudge-resistant Gel Pencil Eyeliner in Bardot for this) and an excellent liquid or gel eyeliner (Stila’s basic Smudge Pot, a longtime editor favourite, was used for the dramatic lids at PatBo). A multiuse black pigment, like MAC Paintstick in Black Black or Byredo’s Color Stick in Destroyer, can be an excellent funding for those who’re into this aesthetic. “I like Byredo’s Color Stick as a result of it’s a super-universal product that you should use in your eyes, your lips, or your brows—anyplace you need,” says Taivas.

Feathery faux lashes

False lashes made their triumphant return on the autumn 2024 runways. They regarded lush and feathery at Alice and Olivia and LaQuan Smith, clumpy and cloggy at Marc Jacobs, and painstakingly positioned on the underside lash strains at Home of Aama and Giorgio Armani. “I personally began sporting false lashes once more,” says Flowers, who relied on Huda Magnificence lash strips for LaQuan Smith’s “workplace siren” make-up.

“I’m obsessive about lashes to the purpose the place I can’t purchase anymore proper now. I most likely personal 400 pairs,” Flowers provides. Her favorites embrace the Dream Lashes from Katiely Magnificence, which she makes use of on singer Coco Jones, and says have the proper quantity of fluffiness. She additionally likes the Rokael Magnificence lashes in Moon Gleam, Luna, and Full Moon.

In fact, false lashes are notoriously finicky even for seasoned make-up wearers. It takes a ton of follow, admits Flowers, who, after years of making use of them on fashions and on herself has a couple of useful pointers: First, use a liquid eyeliner to attract a skinny black line near the lashes. “This hides the lash band,” she says. Second, ensure to attend 30 seconds to a minute to let your lash glue dry down earlier than making use of the strip. (Keep in mind, you need it to be cheesy, not goopy.) Lastly, she says to tilt the lash upwards as you place it down, guaranteeing the band lands straight onto your lash line. “You’ll most likely have to maneuver it till you get it into the correct place, so do that earlier than you press it onto the lashes,” she explains. “If it’s developing on the sides, simply take a Q-tip with some lash glue on it, let it dry, and place it in that space earlier than sticking it down once more.”

Angelic eyes

We love the drama of a full-on metallic eye, however we’re additionally not against doing much less. A lot much less. On the autumn runways, a number of make-up artists performed with delicate flashes of silver, gold, and bronze on the lids that regarded easy and ethereal. “It brings gentle to the face simply as a pair of dainty sparkly earrings would,” says Soleimani. At Ulla Johnson, she blended Sisley’s Les Phyto-Ombres shadow with knowledgeable mixing media and painted quick brushstrokes on the outer nook of the attention. “It’s taking metallics again and bringing it to a spot the place it simply glistens. It’s a bit little bit of one thing you see whenever you blink,” she explains.
