As each season brings changes in weather, wardrobe, and lifestyle, it also introduces exciting new beauty trends. Whether you’re looking to freshen up your skincare routine or try bold new makeup looks, staying on top of beauty trends can help you stay current and feel confident. This season is all about embracing natural beauty, bold statements, and a more personalized approach to skincare and makeup. From skincare innovations to makeup magic, here are the top beauty trends you need to try this season!

1. Glazed Donut Skin

The dewy, radiant look is in full swing, and nothing says healthy skin like the “glazed donut” trend. This trend, popularized by celebrities like Hailey Bieber, focuses on achieving luminous, ultra-hydrated skin that looks like it’s glowing from within.

How to Get the Look:

Start with a hydrating cleanser to cleanse without stripping the skin.
Use a hyaluronic acid serum to plump and hydrate.
Follow with a lightweight moisturizer that gives a glossy, glazed finish.
Add a subtle highlighter to the high points of your face for extra glow.
Pro Tip: Keep your makeup minimal to let your skin’s natural radiance shine through.

2. Bold Lips with a Minimal Base

Bold lip colors are making a comeback, and the good news is, you don’t have to go all-out with your makeup to make a statement. This season, bold lip shades paired with a fresh, minimal base are the perfect balance of elegance and confidence.

Trending Shades:

Deep berry
Fiery red
Bright coral
Bold fuchsia

How to Get the Look:

Prep your lips by exfoliating and moisturizing them for a smooth canvas.
Choose a matte or satin finish lipstick for long-lasting wear.
Keep the rest of your face simple: a light foundation or BB cream, a bit of concealer where needed, and a touch of mascara.
Pro Tip: For a modern twist, skip the heavy contour and focus on dewy, natural-looking skin paired with your bold lip.

3. Graphic Eyeliner

If you’re feeling adventurous, graphic eyeliner is one trend you’ll love. Think bold, unconventional shapes and colors that make your eyes the focal point. This trend allows you to get creative, whether you go for a sharp cat-eye, floating eyeliner, or geometric designs.

How to Get the Look:

Start with a steady hand and use an eyeliner pen for precision.
Try out different shapes like a double wing, negative space liner, or reverse cat-eye.
For an even bolder look, experiment with vibrant eyeliner shades like electric blue, neon green, or metallic hues.
Pro Tip: Pair graphic eyeliner with neutral lips and a soft base to avoid overwhelming the face.

4. Skinimalism

Less is more this season with the rise of “skinimalism.” This trend is all about embracing your natural skin texture and focusing on minimal, effective products. It’s time to ditch heavy foundations and layers of makeup for a more stripped-back, fresh-faced look that enhances your skin’s natural beauty.

How to Get the Look:

Focus on skincare first—hydration, sun protection, and treatments for any skin concerns like acne or pigmentation.
Opt for a lightweight, tinted moisturizer or a skin tint to even out your complexion without masking it.
Use cream blush and highlighter to enhance your natural features subtly.
Pro Tip: Let your freckles, beauty marks, and natural skin texture shine through by using light coverage products.

5. Monochromatic Makeup

Monochromatic makeup is when you use the same color family across your eyes, cheeks, and lips for a harmonious, cohesive look. This trend is easy to achieve and perfect for those who want a soft, polished appearance without too much fuss.

How to Get the Look:

Choose a color palette that flatters your skin tone, such as soft pinks, warm peaches, or bronzy tones.
Use a multi-stick or cream product that can be applied on eyes, lips, and cheeks.
Blend well to ensure a seamless transition between areas.
Pro Tip: For an added touch of sophistication, opt for a glossy finish on the lips and cheeks.

6. Glossy Lids

Glossy eyelids are taking the beauty world by storm, adding a high-fashion, editorial touch to your makeup. This trend is all about creating a wet, dewy finish on your eyelids, perfect for a sultry, effortless look.

How to Get the Look:

Start with a cream eyeshadow or a subtle wash of color across your eyelids.
Apply a clear gloss or a specific eye gloss over the lids for that wet look.
Keep the rest of your makeup understated to keep the focus on your eyes.
Pro Tip: If you’re worried about creasing, use a long-wear cream shadow underneath the gloss to lock the look in place.

7. Shimmer and Glitter

Sparkle is back and better than ever! From shimmering highlighters to glittery eyeshadows, this season encourages you to add a touch of sparkle to your look. Whether it’s for a special occasion or everyday glam, don’t be afraid to shine.

How to Get the Look:

For eyes, opt for metallic or glitter eyeshadows in gold, silver, or champagne.
Use a shimmering highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones, brow bones, and even your collarbone for a luminous finish.
For a subtle shimmer, mix a liquid highlighter into your foundation or moisturizer for a radiant glow all over.
Pro Tip: A little goes a long way with glitter, so start small and build up the intensity.

8. Clean Girl Aesthetic

The “clean girl” aesthetic is all about looking effortlessly polished with a natural glow. Think minimal makeup, sleek hairstyles, and glowing skin. This trend emphasizes simplicity, health, and an overall “put-together” vibe without much effort.

How to Get the Look:

Focus on glowing, well-moisturized skin by incorporating serums and moisturizers with a dewy finish.
Keep makeup minimal—just concealer, brow gel, a bit of blush, and lip gloss.
Style your hair in a sleek ponytail, bun, or soft waves for a chic, neat appearance.
Pro Tip: Invest in good skincare, as the key to this look is flawless, natural skin.

9. Laminated Brows
Thick, full brows are still reigning supreme, and this season, it’s all about the laminated look. Laminated brows are styled upward, giving them a fuller, more uniform appearance that lasts all day.

How to Get the Look:

You can either visit a salon for a professional brow lamination treatment or achieve a similar effect with brow gels.
Brush your brows upward with a strong-hold gel to keep them in place.
Pro Tip: Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in any sparse areas for an even, defined look.

10. Sustainable Beauty Products
Sustainability is an ongoing trend, but this season, more and more beauty lovers are gravitating towards eco-friendly, clean beauty products. From refillable packaging to cruelty-free formulations, sustainable beauty is becoming a priority for many.

How to Get the Look:

Look for skincare and makeup products from brands that focus on sustainability, such as eco-friendly packaging, cruelty-free testing, and ethically sourced ingredients.
Support brands that offer refillable packaging to reduce waste.
Pro Tip: Check ingredient lists for harmful chemicals and opt for clean, green beauty products whenever possible.
