Red or…well

2023 was the year of pink with Barbiecore. The hangover to Barbie pink will be red as we have begun to see it for Fall 2023. It will continue to be important for Spring 2024 in more of a classic manner. Places that red are common, such as your nails and lips, will see a fun upgrade. For your nails, red shades will be coupled with short nails while a classic red lip turned into a “revenge lip” at Alice + Olivia. Lead makeup artist and Executive Director of Global Beauty for Too Faced, Elyse Reneau shares that the look was inspired by the archetype of the modern 1960s swan. Reneau describes the red lip, that’s “dripping in juicy gloss” as a lip that’s “just for you and no one else.” For your eyes, as pictured, bold eyeliner shades will become important.

Balletcore

Put on your best leotard because balletcore beauty is here to stay. While your chingons and pale pinks continue to be important, the goal is to accessorize to amp up the look. For hair, ribbons were everywhere. Sergio Hudson also dabbled in ribbon play, but focusd on black ribbons and hair netting to make the look less ballet dancer and more boss b*tch. Balletcore got an edge at 3.1 Phillip Lim, with a spiked ballerina bun that enveloped the power of a strong New York City woman. Nails also played into balletcore, but updated you feminine mani (hello, Essie Ballet Slippers) with a chrome appeal.
