HOW TO GET THE
CRANBERRY MAKEUP LOOK

November 1, 2024 by Cat Quinn

If you’re seeking the ultimate party makeup, look no further than the 1920s and the Golden Age of Hollywood. From music videos to the Met Gala red carpet, we’re seeing a resurgence in vampy vintage tones such as Cranberry Makeup.

“Cranberry Makeup – along with all of those cranberry-esque tones like maroon lipstick and burgundy lipstick – is the colour of classic glamour,” says Terry Barber, M·A·C Creative Director of Makeup Artistry. “It’s timeless – and there’s a moment for it in every decade.”

Even though this look relies on rich and moody cranberry shades, there’s a soft romanticism to their application. “It’s not so snatched,” says Barber. “There’s a smoky decadence…a little bit rounder with the eyes, blush that’s placed a bit higher on the cheek and a blurred lip.”
