2. Makeup: Cut Crease


Among the standout trends is the cut crease, a technique that has taken the beauty world by storm and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Characterized by its sharp definition and dramatic contrast, the cut crease elevates eye makeup, creating a stunning and impactful look that is perfect for the road and your Glam Photoshoot.

3. Makeup: Neon Highlights


If you're a fan of bright and bold colors, then the neon makeup trend is right up your alley! Neon eyeliners, vibrant eyeshadows, and fluorescent lipsticks are going to be the go-to choices for creating a statement look at Carnival. This was the Techniguque Glam Hub's Creative Director Gabby Glam usd on former Miss America, and Glam Girl Elle Smith for Trinidad Carnival 2024!

4. Makeup: The Smokey Eye


The Smokey Eye look is a favourite for Carnivalistas everywhere and it's a proven beat that elevates your Carnival glam game. Think gilded eyeshadows, metallic accents, and glowing highlighters that give you luxurious eyes fit for royalty. If you want to go loud, a good smokey eye beat can channel your inner goddess! To create a classic smoky eye, your mua will need three coordinating eyeshadow shades: an all-over shade, a crease color, and a highlight. This versatile style, often featuring dark eyeshadow blended for a dramatic effect, can be adapted to flatter anyone, making it a must-have for your Carnival makeup arsenal.


Soft Glam Makeup, The New Trend!


After 8 years of Carnival makeup, over 10,000 faces, more influencer faces than we can count, and countless band shoots, we're stamping our authority on this one. This year, many girls are choosing Soft Glam as their go-to makeup look. Pretty is the new Carnival vibe, and nothing shows off that beauty like a good Soft Glam beat. Band shoots and launches may celebrate over-the-top makeup, but that's all for show. Even the models are opting out of that kind of beat for the road. Influencers, many of whom are paid to participate in Carnivals, often go over the top as part of their game.


However, don't be afraid to push boundaries. If it's your first carnival, then by all means, go all out. These barely-there costumes demand nothing less! Don't be afraid to try something new. With Carnivals like Trinidad, Saint Lucia, and Grenada that have two days of mass, you have plenty of opportunities to experiment! After all, Carnival is the perfect time to let your imagination run wild!
