Spring 2025 Makeup Trends: The Season of Bold Beauty & Effortless Glam

Leave a comment

Can someone call the Doctor?

This is a real emergency. 

Nothing is the same!!!! 

Wondering Why? 

Spring Fever baby! 

The time of the year when we toss those dull makeup pods and embrace bold, creative, and expressive makeup looks for the Spring! This season’s hottest trends are so sick and according to ELLE, Who What Wear, and Glamour, the trends are all about bringing back color, drama, and authenticity in a big way. From statement brows to futuristic metallics, here’s the cure for your stylish afflictions.

High Arches

Brows are back and they’re better than ever. The defined sculpted brow is the perfect look this season, according to ELLE, but there’s no wrong way to do you. Some makeup enthusiasts like a more natural effortless look and that’s okay too. Who What Wear says Individuality is in this spring and the “Anti-Trend Brows” movement is proof in the pudding.   

A Futuristic Touch

ELLE’s Color Block trend is nauseatingly fabulous! Make a statement this spring with vibrant hues, from eye-catching pink lips, green eyeliner, and bold eye lashes. Another popular spring makeup look is Cool Tone Eyes with lovely shades of blue, purple, and gray. Glamour mentions foil like eyeshadows and multidimensional metallics for a high shine effect.  

The Modern Lip

Red lipstick is always painfully delightful, but ELLE spotlighted two new sick colors for the spring by Estee Lauder and Tarte. Who What Wear says Black Cherry Lips are popular spring makeup trends if you prefer a more edgy look with sultry, deep tones. But a more delicate spring makeup look with Nude Lips and a natural, yet polished finish is still a fave.  

From playful pastels to statement glam, Spring 2025 makeup trends are just what the doctor ordered. Whether you go full-on bold or stick to a soft glow, you’ll be anything but under the weather.
