Just like that, the New York Fashion Week fall-winter 2024 season has ended. While we’re sad it's over, it did leave us with some exciting beauty trends. This season, especially, we saw some major makeup and hair trends on the runways, and we’re expecting to see people adopt them into their everyday routines soon enough.

While beauty trends fluctuate often these days thanks to social media (particularly TikTok), fashion week brings us tried and true techniques created and perfected by expert makeup and hair artists. Thanks to the quickness that’s required to put on a runway show, they’re also pretty straightforward, so you can easily recreate these looks at home by yourself.

If you’re looking to revamp your routine, scroll on to see the trends we spotted at New York Fashion Week this season.

Cloud skin has been trending for quite some time now, so it was only a matter of time before blush followed suit. Like the base makeup, we’re now focusing on perfecting a blush routine that makes us look like we’re glowing from within like the models on the Luar and Gabriella Hearst, runways. To get this look at home quickly and conveniently, you might want to try out Patrick Ta’s viral hack.

With there being an emphasis on the eyes and base in recent years, a subtle nude lip offers the perfect balance. It’s the perfect way to make your look feel low-key and effortless. Take inspo from Tory Burch and Tommy Hilfiger to rock a cool nude lip look.
