Spring has sprung and it’s time to brush up on the beauty trends about to be all plastered over our feeds and the striking looks seen all over the SS25 runways. Clean-girl aesthetic is not saying goodbye anytime soon but it’s making room for bolder statements this coming season, with 3D nail art, smudged liner, and vivid eyeshadows – and don’t worry, we’ve not forgotten about skincare! Read on for the ultimate guide of everything you need to know.
Glitter Eyeshadow
Glitter eyeshadow is about to be all the rage – especially ones that give you a glass skin appearance with new formulas on the market offering no fallout and a smooth finish. The trick for this look is to stick to one colour to refined and glossy appearance. (No blending necessary)
K-Beauty Skincare
Korean beauty has been trending on social media for a long time now, but it has recently seen a surge in purchases of skincare products. According to boots one Korean skincare product is sold every 30 seconds in store as more and more people are desiring that glass skin effect to go hand in hand with the natural make-up trends.

The colour taking us through spring and summer this year is going to be a mocha brown, not surprising when browns and leopard print has been trending the past year. Cult Beauty states that searches for brown lips and chocolate nails are rapidly rising with so many products available for you to incorporate it into your beauty bag for a variety of looks.
Lip Tints
Wonderskin has been one of the highest trending lip product brands on TikTok this year – all we see are blue lips miraculously turning into gorgeous red and pink tints on our fyp! Lip tints or stains are a great way to create a natural make-up look, and for the low maintenance girlies, a product that doesn’t need to be topped up throughout the day!

Polka dots have been an upcoming trend since the SS25 runways last year and it is time to finally incorporate them into our beauty styles. Polka dot nails are the perfect way to hop onto this trend that’s driving us through spring and summer. Whether you get press ons, go to the salon, or do them yourself, they are bound to give you an elegant look.
Soft Grunge
Dior SS25
Smudged eyeliner frequented the runways for SS25, with Dior, McQueen, and Christian Siriano all showcasing this look on their runways. It’s a must-have look for an evening event this summer, easy to do yet incredibly effective in making the eyes pop.
Berry Blushes

Berry blushes are going to be major this spring and summer, with rich, flushed hues giving you a healthy sun kissed look. This trend dominated Dsquared2’s runway and has been a frequent player in all of Doechii’s recent make-up looks.

Calling all statement nail techs – quiet-luxury nails are out, and dramatic 3D styles are in. These loud looks are definitely going to make you stand out this coming season and we can’t wait to see all the personalised creativity on everyone’s nails.
LED Masks
LED masks have been around for a while as an effective method of illuminating scarring and wrinkles. However according to boots, ‘prejuvenation’ practices are emerging on social media and 78% of consumers believe prevention is better than cure, leading to a 536% spike in LED mask sales at Boots in 2024.
