The Autumn/Winter 2024 catwalks were ablaze with make-up looks that celebrate the raw beauty of autumnal landscapes. Think smouldering eyes in deep burgundy and cheekbones highlighted in autumn’s rich, layered golds.
Balance, however, is key here; Grace Sinnott – our pro make-up artist on our autumn/winter make-up shoot – emphasised this by playing with bold colours and shimmering textures, or sticking to neutrals for a fresh, chic take. Using Guerlain’s autumn-ready arsenal, she applied Double R Renew & Repair Advanced Serum for a hit of intense hydration, then added radiance with the brand’s Météorites Base – a perfecting primer that imbues a subtle, luminous finish.

Renowned make-up artist Pat McGrath unveiled stunning burgundy-smudged eyes at Valentino’s show – a look inspired by fallen leaves and ripe berries. To recreate the drama, Sinnott turned to Guerlain’s Ombres G Eyeshadow Quad in Red Orchid, which provided a rich and sultry smokey eye.
First, Sinnott applied Guerlain’s Advanced Youth Watery Oil for a grease-free primer, then a slick of Guerlain L’Essentiel Natural Glow Foundation on the T-zone, and eye lids followed. Next, Guerlain’s Terracotta Bronzing Powder was swept across the high points of the face for a sun-kissed effect.
Blending the burgundy shade over the lids and inner corners added depth, while a smaller brush allowed Sinnott to smudge shadow along the lash line for a feline finish. Complete the look with Guerlain’s Noir G 24H Intense Volume Curl Mascara; line lips with Guerlain’s Contour G Lip Pencil in Le Burgundy; then finish with Guerlain’s Rouge G Lipstick in Mahogany Brown for a cohesive autumnal vibe.

At Chanel, Lucia Pica crafted an ethereal look reminiscent of autumn sunlight filtering through a woodland. To achieve a similar glow, apply the luminous golden shadow from Guerlain’s Ombres G Eyeshadow Quad in Red Orchid over the lid, blending the Copper Red shade into the crease for added dimension and a sun-kissed finish.
But first, a buttery complexion is necessary, so start by using Double R Renew & Repair Advanced Serum to smooth and brighten skin, then apply Guerlain’s L’Essentiel Natural Glow Foundation sparingly to enhance your natural beauty. Next, pinpoint-conceal with Guerlain’s Multi-Perfecting Concealer, using thin layers of product to create a lasting, natural base.
Finally, add Guerlain’s Mad Eyes Mascara, and sweep Guerlain’s Météorites Light-Revealing Pearls of Powder over cheekbones, brow bones, and the inner corners of your eyes. Elevate the look with a slick of Guerlain’s Rouge G Lipstick in Raspberry Pink for a subtle touch of shine.

For a natural look inspired by Hermès’ minimal make-up approach, use the soft pink shades from Guerlain’s Ombres G Eyeshadow Quad in Red Orchid to create a subtle, everyday eye.
Start with Guerlain’s L’Essentiel Natural Glow Foundation. Then, define brows with Guerlain’s Brow Pencil in Medium Brown. Next, dab the soft pink shade onto lids and blend with a fluffy brush, then apply a single coat of Guerlain’s Noir G 24H Intense Volume Curl Mascara for subtle definition.
Further enhance luminosity with a sweep of Guerlain’s Météorites Light-Revealing Pearls of Powder, before slightly over-lining your lips with Guerlain’s Contour G Lip Pencil in Rosy Nude. Blend carefully, then finish with Guerlain’s Rouge G Lipstick in Le Nude Intense for a plump, rosy glow that’s reminiscent of autumn.
