When we asked this talented woman how her passion for beauty sparked, Tina told us it began when she was very young. “I was often the last one chosen. However, when I went to high school, everything changed as I was admired for my looks. Then I realised how people see you is how people will treat you. So, it became my great passion and purpose to learn everything possible for our appearance and to give this gift of confidence and beauty to women worldwide.”
On that note, Tina Derkse shares her top predictions for the beauty trends we are sure to see in 2024.
International makeup artist Tina Derkse on the top 5 beauty trends of 2024
Buttery skin
Similar to what we saw at the Maison Margiela show, where Pat McGrath gave the models a porcelain complexion, this year will be all about buttery skin. “We’ll see much more polished, smoothed, and radiant velvety skin. It’ll be a soft natural glow where the light will catch just where the contours of the face meet, creating a subtle and alluring effect that’s not too overpowering. To achieve this, you’ll need to prep the skin first because it’s very beneficial to creating any great makeup look. I usually start by cleansing the face so I can feel its condition. Afterwards, I tailor the application of skincare products through gentle massage based on the skin and my client’s environment.”
Blush-flushed cheeks will stay
To achieve the blush-flushed look, gently tap on the bridge of the nose and curve around the temples. Don’t forget to blend. This gives a natural flush, as if you’re going for a light jog. It’s very effortless.
The pursuit of the perfect natural lash continues
Since we’ve been seeing a lot of natural beauty moments in January, there will also be a surge of interest in ‘the perfect lash.’ This time, it’ll be more natural. “Forget the uncomfortable lash strips that are heavy on the eyes. We will see more individually placed lashes that lift and open up the orbital. 2024 is all about celebrating and enhancing your natural looks.”
More refined, brushed, and polished eyebrows
As 2024 is all about celebrating and enhancing your natural looks, this year’s brows will be more refined, brushed, and polished. Expect full brows with more density.
A black or brown bottom waterline for more allure
According to Tina, the last trend will be a brown or black colour in the bottom of the waterline. We’ve seen celebrities like Kendall Jenner try this trick, which helps elevate the eyes, giving them a “soft, smoky, and alluring look.”
