Emmy Awards 2024: From Bare Makeup To Bleeding Lip Looks, 5 Beauty Trends We Love And Hate!
The 2024 Emmys showed us that while some trends are definitely keepers, others could use a little rethinking!
The 2024 Emmy Awards were not just about glitzy gowns and sparkling accessories, it was also a night of bold beauty choices. While some makeup trends were jaw-droppingly gorgeous like that of Reese Witherspoon, Selena Gomez, and Dakota Fanning, others left us scratching our heads. Here’s the complete breakdown of the beauty trends we loved and the ones we weren’t so thrilled about from this year’s red carpet.
Loved: Nude Lips and Nude Makeup
Nude lips were a major win at the Emmys this year. Actresses like Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Anniston, Gillian Anderson, and Saoirse Ronan rocked understated makeup looks that let their natural beauty shine. Nude lips paired with a clean, glowing base gave a fresh and timeless appeal. It’s a reminder that sometimes, less really is more. This subtle yet sophisticated trend gets an A+ from us!
Hated: Unblended Blush
While we’re all for a good blush moment, Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan’s peach blush was…a bit much. Instead of blending seamlessly into her temples, the blush sat too starkly on her cheeks, giving an unnatural, almost theatrical look. While we love that it brought warmth to her complexion, a little more blending would have taken this look from jarring to gorgeous. Here’s hoping this harsh blush trend gets left behind.
Loved: Brown Lipsticks for Actresses of Color
We absolutely adored the rich brown lipsticks spotted on actresses like Ayo Edebiri, Quinta Brunson, and Aja Naomi King. It was refreshing to see these women of colour embracing tones that flatter their skin, adding depth and drama to their looks. Brown lipstick is undeniably powerful, bold, and absolutely perfect for the red carpet. These shades showcased the diversity of beauty in Hollywood in a way that felt inclusive and empowering.

Hated: Bleeding Lips
Then there’s Sofia Vergara, whose lip look left us wanting a touch-up. The Modern Family star went with a bold lip that unfortunately started to bleed beyond her natural lip line. It’s a classic case of what happens when you skip a good lip liner. It was hard to ignore this beauty faux pas, and it’s a reminder that no matter how bold the shade, precision is key when it comes to lipstick application.
Hated: No Lip Liners
Speaking of lip liners, or rather the lack thereof, many celebs ditched them altogether. While this can give a softer, more natural look, it often led to messy edges, particularly with deeper shades like Sofia’s. A good lip liner can work wonders in defining the lips and preventing any unwanted smudging or feathering. Here’s hoping we see a return of the liner next year!
