The prettiest SS24 beauty trends, from ribbon hair to soft-stain lips

September may mean it’s back to school, but it’s also the month we preview everything SS24 has in store for us. Sure, we may have barely dipped our toe into autumn, but as per tradition, designers from across the four fashion cities – New York, London, Milan and Paris – are using the new-season feeling to showcase the looks they have coming for spring and summer. But along with some beautifully breezy garments, we also want in on all the beauty intel.

Now that New York and London have wrapped and Milan is stepping up, we’ve had a chance to get a vibe for Spring 2024. Coquettecore seems to be going strong with silky pink ribbons woven or corseted through hair at Christian Siriano. Meanwhile, PatBo made the case for pastels with pretty pink eyeshadow swept across their models’ lids. Or, for an alternative shade, Tiffany Brown Designs went big on baby blue, with a whole show dedicated to the colour which was washed across the models’ eyes.

Vintage romance is an emerging mood among London design houses Richard Quinn, Erdem and Annie’s Ibiza. Hair stylist Sam McKnight swept hair into regency-style chignons at Richard Quinn, while Terry Barber for MAC took care of portrait-worthy skin with delicately blushed lips and earthy-toned lids. Annie’s Ibiza saw ’20s-style finger waves created by Sam and high shine red lips created by the pros at Charlotte Tilbury. And romantic matte red lips created by Bobbi Brown pros at Erdem created a pretty statement.
