Bold eyeliners, frosted lips, and glazed cheeks are some of the biggest beauty trends that will have a chokehold on all of us this year.
Let’s be real. The spotlight quite often is on your face.
If you’re someone who is a fan of experimenting with big and bold beauty looks, then we’ve got just the right inspiration for you. In the realm of maximalist beauty, there are no rules, only a celebration of individuality. It’s a canvas of colour and drama, where self-expression takes center stage. Think bold lipsticks, shimmering eyeshadows, and sprightly hues. It’s not just about appearance; it’s a statement. A declaration of confidence, creativity, and a refusal to conform.
From iridescent make-up looks to those who cannot do without their bronzy, brown products…or for the ones who love a pop of colour. This is your time to shine!

To achieve this frosted ombré lips that somehow feel like a relic from the past and a look of the future simultaneously. Are you daring enough to pull off blueberry, holographic lips? If yes, follow the cue: apply a thick lip gloss and follow it up by using a metallic lipstick from Colorbar. Using a small, blending brush add silver highlighter on the cupid’s bow and lower lip. Pack it carefully to avoid any fallout. And voilà you have the look!.
Manifest Tricks of the Trade: The all-new High Impact Nutri-Dimension Mascara by Clinique is fabulous but you can also use your mascara as cream eyeliner. Take an angled brush, and drag the brush on the wand of the mascara. Now swipe it along your lash line. Since the mascara’s texture is creamy, it’ll help create a perfect cat eye.
Pinterest’s 2024 trend forecast tells us that blue-eye make-up is going to face a surge and will be massively searched well into 2024. Think: pastel-blue, shimmery aqua, glossy cobalt blue, or a frosted light-blue going viral. And if you’re a minimalist at heart, then blue mascara would do the job too simply. If you have brown eyes… Even better because blue looks like you have a brown eye… tone.
Green lips add depth to your make-up look, especially when styled with minimal eyes and cheeks. However, it also feels subversive…like a nod to gothcore without going full-on grunge. The best option for DIYing this look is matte liquid lipstick such as Jeffree Star Cosmetics’s Velour Liquid Lipstick in Lizard Jewel. Liquid Lipstick in Lizard Jewel, opacity, don’t forget to line Liquid Lipstick in Lizard Jewel pencil first (it’s safe, FYI).
Micro-beauty trends such as ‘latte make-up’ had a chokehold on us in the past year. We are not surprised that there’s also espresso makeup entering the chat. The espresso makeup has a bit of a grunge vibe (we aren’t complaining that are early 00’s emo girl energy is coming through). Make the most of deep-brown tones in your eyes by pulling the look together with brown lipstick for a monochromatic look. For a muted look, complete the look with a brown mascara.
Manifest Tricks of the Trade: It is no secret Manifest loves a kick*ss beauty hack. And what better way to get the most out of your make-up than thinking outside of the box (or compact, or tube, or jar)?. Want an easypeasy nude lip? Simply mix your brown lipstick with
a dab of concealer. Or… Make your lips look fuller by applying a brighter, lighter concealer around your lip line to highlight and give the illusion of a full pout. Ensure you apply the concealer before
any lip products.
The runway has been filled with blush-y looks. However, in 2024 we see a departure and are now taking a more muted, soft direction. The key to achieving this look is good skincare. If you have dry skin, use a facial oil or a strobe cream to look like you just had gallons of water. Opt for neutral shades that only give off a whisper of colour on your skin. Now, take a dense brush and buff out any harsh lines to make the flush look seamless. Add a liquid highlighter or even a blush topper to look snatched.
