As a Type 1, we love possibilities, and these trends give room for plenty of fun interpretation! Be sure to lean into the ones that light you up, and go light with the ones that feel too heavy or serious. As we dive in, you’ll see what I mean!
Makeup Trends
1. Minimal Makeup
Minimal makeup focuses on enhancing natural features with a light touch and simple products. It involves using lightweight foundation for a natural finish, grooming brows without heavy filling, applying subtle eye makeup with neutral tones and minimal mascara, and adding a soft flush of cream blush to the cheeks. Lips are kept hydrated with tinted balms or nude shades, and the overall look emphasizes healthy, well-moisturized skin. This trend highlights simplicity and a polished yet effortless appearance. The Dressing Your Truth Store has the perfect lineup of products to help you achieve this natural, effortless look.
Does this trend favor Type 1 and how to make it work?
This trend is so great for Type 1’s. We already like to keep things light! Remember the key is, minimal makeup does not mean NO makeup. We are using makeup items that are not as colorful, nudes and light pinks, those colors that accentuate our natural features.
Any secondary Type considerations?
- Type 1/2 – Go for a soft pink, on the cheeks and lips.
- Type 1/3 – Use a thicker line on your eyeliner to create a dynamic look.
- Type 1/4 – Use 1 eyeshadow, like our Dazzle. Then add an eyeliner. Add mascara, then your eyes are done!
What keywords are important to remember for this trend? Light and Charming
2. Played-Up Eyes
The “played-up eyes” trend emphasizes making the eyes the focal point of the makeup look, often with bold and dramatic effects. The spring trend had us playing with colorful eyeliners, this fall we’re moving back to basic black or brown liners, but playing up the movement created around the eyes. This trend includes smokey eyes, winged liners, and thick and voluminous lashes to create a striking and eye-catching appearance. The focus is on creating a high-impact look that draws attention to the eyes and allows for artistic expression and experimentation.

This trend will have you going deeper with the coloring on your eyes than you’re used to. Embrace it! I would keep this trend for those special events. It may be a little much for walking around your house 🙂
Any secondary Type considerations?
- Type 1/2 – Use the lighter colors; you may find the darker colors are too much.
- Type 1/3 – Play with those big wings and smokey eyes, using darker colors like plum and chocolate.
- Type 1/4 – This is where that navy eyeshadow comes to play, do it in a smokey eye with a big blue wing! Cute!
What keywords are important to remember for this trend? Play-Up and Bigger
3. Deep Lips
The “deep lips” trend focuses on bold, rich lip colors that make a strong statement. Last year the fall lip color was all about red, in 2024 we’re seeing the color options expanding to include more dark, intense shades such as berries, plums, and browns… and our color of the season “black cherry”. Deep lip colors can be applied in various finishes, from matte to glossy, and are often paired with minimal eye makeup to keep the focus on the lips. This trend embraces a classic, high-impact aesthetic, perfect for making a confident impression and adding a touch of elegance to any look.

This trend will also be out of your norm. But play with it! I like using a dark liner to create a deeper lip. (I even used our Sienna Eye Liner as a lip liner) then blend that dark color into a lighter lipstick and you’ll be spot on.
Any secondary Type considerations?
- Type 1/2 – Use just a liner and lip stick, or liner and gloss. Using all three will feel like too much.
- Type 1/3 – Dive into this! This trend was made for you!
- Type 1/4 – You can do bold, go bold!

Hair Trends
1. Cut: Just Below the Chin Bob
This year we’re seeing the shaggy textured lob from 2023 get cleaned up. A box-shaped chop with blunt ends, clean lines, and little to no layers is the cut of choice this season. Creating a sleek, versatile look this length is flattering for various face shapes and can be styled in multiple ways, from straight and polished to soft waves or curls. It offers a modern, sophisticated appearance while being low-maintenance compared to longer styles. The bob just below the chin strikes a balance between the classic bob and longer cuts, providing a fresh update to traditional hairstyles.

I feel like this is our traditional haristyle for Type 1s. It’s back baby! That short hair helps your head feel lighter and airyer. If you are wanting to go shorter again, now is a perfect time.
Any secondary Type considerations?
- Type 1/2 – Include soft waves with your styling.
- Type 1/3 – Do bigger more substantial curls, OR more volume on top with a straight style.
- Type 1/4 – You can go straight with this and look fabulous

2. Color: Burgundy Brunette
A rich and sophisticated twist to traditional brunette shades. This hue combines deep brown tones with hints of red and purple, creating a multidimensional and luxurious appearance. Burgundy brunette hair adds warmth and vibrancy to the hair. Adding dimension and depth to hair color while maintaining a low-maintenance appearance. The burgundy tones can range from soft, understated highlights to bold, statement sections, allowing for versatile styling options.

So fun to add red to the brunette. If you are a brunette, you need to try this! We love pops of color and this will be exciting to do!

3. Style: Big Hair
Big hair is back, and bigger than ever! If you feel like you’re headed straight back to the 80’s, you’re right! The “big hair” trend is all about bold, voluminous hairstyles that make a dramatic statement. Achieving this look involves techniques like backcombing, teasing, and using volumizing products to add significant lift and fullness. Textured waves or curls are often created with styling tools like curling irons or rollers, enhancing the hair’s body and bounce. Layering adds movement and prevents a flat appearance. To maintain the look, regular touch-ups and specific products are essential. Overall, the trend celebrates hair’s potential for volume and texture, offering a vibrant and memorable style.

Volume is so in our repertoire. Get a teasing comb and freeze hair spray and let’s go!
Any secondary Type considerations?
- Type 1/2 – More of a delicate tease would be best.
- Type 1/3 – Tease that volume so high. Keep and comb in your purse for mid day pick me ups.
- Type 1/4 – Remember you can do bold? Big high hair is going to look amazing on you.

Handbags: Large handbags.
Big bags to match your big hair! Handbags trends this season range from very small to very huge. We’re focusing on the big side of things! This trend features oversized bags that provide ample space for everyday essentials, making them both practical and fashionable. You can choose a more structured large bag to a slouchy bag with unstructured shape. They come in diverse styles, including totes, satchels, and duffels, and can be crafted from materials like leather, canvas, or synthetic fabrics. Large handbags can also serve as a fashion statement, becoming an accessory to your whole outfit. The structured large handbag will pair nicely with the “Quiet Luxury” trend, while the slouchier bag will harmonize with the “Boho Chic” styles.
