Makeup is an inseparable part of the fashion industry. It’s more than just complementary for the shows and photo shoots. Today, it’s easy to tell the trend and year from the makeup alone.
For 2024, some of the favorite lipstick shades will stay in circulation. But you can expect some shifts in the trend as more people explore new ideas. Even though the trend will stay between retro red and nudes, you will see more shades of celebrities and how they set the trend.
The lip color can be a statement and many professionals understand this. Here are what the experts say about which lipstick shades are popular and back on trend for 2024.

Two-tone Bold Lipstick
Ombre lips are so yesterday. What’s trendy for 2024 is actual two-tone lips, primarily bold colors such as plum, black, and even bright orange. Of course, you will still see pink, tangerine, and even peach.
Some makeup artists are going bold by having different colors for the upper and lower lips. And some others are taking the dramatic route and going with the ghost-white and black combination.
Professional Makeup Artist, Nick Barose who worked with Lily Gladstone told Glamour magazine that the bold, dark, and vampy lipstick is back in action. So you can experiment for the whole year on which color combination you like the most.
Barose also added that you should start with blackberry or dark lip liner before choosing any dark lipstick. He said that it will help you to add depth and decide how dark you want the shade to be.
Glossy lips are also back in high demand. This goes in line with the recent makeup trend that is also heavy on highlighter and angelic eyes with glitter dust.
You can have a lot of fun with clear lip gloss on top of your favorite shade. There is no limit on what you can do with the glossy lips. Of course, you need to be careful and choose the gloss that won’t transfer easily.
No need to be afraid of looking campy as the Y2K trend is still up and running. The plumper and glossier your lips, the better. And the best thing about lip gloss is that you can’t go wrong with the shades.
Coca Cola Lips
The food trend continues this year. 2023 saw the rise of latte makeup with tons of muted nudes and brown shades on the makeup. But in 2024, the food trend takes a different turn as the Cola cherry takes center stage.
This color is unique since it combines two favorite trends, red and glossy. To achieve Coca-Cola lips, you can use the dark brown lip liner to create the burnt effect and fill in the lips with the classy cherry red. Don’t forget to dab some lip gloss to create the shine.
For special occasions such as a girls’ night out or a party, add glittery lip gloss on your cherry lips. It will add more glitz and make your look unforgettable.
Many Shades of Red

Red is the color that seems to be on trend every year. However, 2024 will see a wilder exploration of this color.
Instead of the classic blue-based red that suits all skin tones such as the Dior signature red, you will see more Scarlet, Carmine, and even Rose and Candy red.
The wide variety of red means you can be bold and try more colors. You even can use pink or coral lip liner to combine with apple red lipstick.
And if you’re a bit shy about wearing bright red, you can choose coral with a little hint of orange and pink. You also can start with pastel red pink or burgundy before going bolder with time.
Warm nudes
Nude lipsticks are still popular in 2024. But the trend slowly shifts from beige and cream to warmer tones with brown undertones.
You can expect to see more blushing nudes or the prominent return of the MLBB trend. What’s more, warm nudes are also more favorable for people with medium skin tones who can’t wear pale beige nudes.
Another popular tone you will is deeper and brown-based nudes. These colors are more versatile for daily work and easy to blend or match with other trends.
For many people, lipstick is the ultimate game-changer. You just need to swap your lip color to change your overall look and mood. The versatility is one thing you can rely on and available for all lipstick shades.
Don’t be afraid to try out some of these trends. Go to the nearest Sephora check out the red lipsticks you never tried before and add more gloss. Have a lot of fun finding your lip color for 2024.
