Spring 2024 Makeup Trends in South Africa: My Personal Journey

Hey beauties! 

Spring is finally here, and I couldn’t be more excited to share my latest makeup adventures with you. Imagine this: the first warm breeze of the season, flowers blooming everywhere, and a fresh, new makeup look to match the vibrant energy around us. Let me take you through my experience trying out the hottest makeup trends for Spring 2024 in South Africa.

Doll-Like Blush

First up, let’s talk about the doll-like blush. This trend is all about achieving that fresh, just-pinched look. I grabbed my blush brush and a rosy pink shade, and as I applied it to my cheeks, it felt like I was painting a spring bloom right onto my face. The colour was vibrant and gave me a youthful glow, almost like I’d just come back from a brisk walk in the park. It truly captures the essence of spring right on your cheeks.

Graphic Eyeliner

Next, I dove into the graphic eyeliner trend. I’ve always loved a good cat eye, but this season, it’s all about getting creative. I decided to try a bold, geometric shape with a pop of color. It felt like turning my eyelids into a canvas, each stroke adding a bit more personality to my look. This trend is definitely a head-turner and makes you feel like a walking piece of art.

Chrome Eyes

For a bit of shimmer, I turned to chrome eyeshadows. I chose a metallic silver shade and applied it to my lids. The way it caught the light was mesmerizing, like having tiny mirrors reflecting the sunlight. It’s magical, almost like having a piece of the morning dew on your eyes.

Better Than Bare Skin

Heavy foundations are out, and lightweight skin tints are in. I switched to a skin tint that offered just enough coverage to even out my complexion without feeling heavy. It was perfect for the warmer weather, letting my skin breathe while still looking polished. This trend feels so much lighter, like wearing a second skin, but better.

Ombré Lips

Finally, I tried the ombré lips trend. I blended two shades, starting with a deep berry on the outer edges and a lighter pink in the center. The result was a beautiful gradient that made my lips look fuller and more dimensional. This is such a fun way to mix things up, adding depth and making your lips pop.

As I wrapped up my little makeup session, I felt a renewed sense of excitement for the season. Spring is all about new beginnings, and what better way to celebrate than by experimenting with fresh, vibrant makeup looks?

Here’s to a beautiful spring! May our makeup be as bright and cheerful as the season itself. 

So, whether you’re a makeup novice or a seasoned pro, these trends are sure to add a spring to your step and a sparkle to your look. Embrace the season with open arms and a makeup bag full of possibilities.

Happy spring, beauties!
