Top Lash Trends for Autumn/Winter 2024
Lisa Stone, Expert and Salon System Educator delves into what we can expect in the upcoming season to be the biggest lash trends on the market.
As with all beauty looks, change happens continuously now. For the A/W 2024, lashes have shifted away from the heavily 'over-done' aesthetic towards a more natural look. Embracing the beauty of the natural lash, the focus is now on lash lift treatments, half lashes, creative individual lashes, and hybrids to diversify and enhance styles.
Here are my top trends for A/W 2024:
Soft and Natural Look
To compliment the soft dewy skin and make up trend, we’re seeing lashes looking more natural and softer. This look can be created with using “hybrid techniques” using handmade, by mixing two sets of lashes together - like the Salon System Pro Made Fans mixed with Salon System Classic Lashes. This results in a light weight for a soft wispy texture, but still delivering volume and definition to the eyes.
Soft and natural can also be created by ½ sets of lashes being graduated into natural lashes creating a “accent” effect on the eyes giving soft and natural looks.
Underlash
The biggest trend this year! For fast and speedy application these lashes are clusters that are applied under your natural lashes to give a flawless seamless application giving the eyes a depth and volume and texture that can last up to 7 days easily applied in the salon or at home.
The Wet Look
A look that we see again this year. It’s about giving a glossy wet look to the eyes, and this can be achieved through using narrow (spikey) fans, integrated with softer wider fluffy fans, volume lashes both handmade and pro made fans..
Lash Lift
Still on trend a desired treatment for lash techs. Lash lift is a great alternative to lash extensions, giving a fuss free low maintenance treatment to enhance the natural lashes, helping to give the illusion of a more open lifted eye, longer more volume lashes that can last up to 6-8 weeks.
Colour
Jet-black lashes are no longer the go-to choice, as brown and brown/black shades have become increasingly popular. From chocolate brown lash extensions to soft brown or brown/black tints, these shades offer a more natural, subtle look for your lash services.
One ingredient, two regulatory timetables and shelves full of near-identical bottles. The new TPO rules call for a forensic look at stock, suppliers and lamps, not a panicked exit from gel. On a salon shelf, the change is almost invisible. The same orderly rows of builder gels, bases, top coats and colour remain in place, their labels as polished as ever. Yet a single line in an ingredient list now determines whether a product may enter the Great Britain market, how long existing stock may be supplied and what a salon should replace next. The three letters causing the stir are TPO. Online, the story has already been compressed into the sort of headline that travels quickly and explains very little: gel has been banned; every bottle must be binned; TPO and HEMA are the same problem but none of those statements are accurate.
