Top 10 Spring Beauty Trends of 2025
Spring 2025 is a celebration of duality: bare skin meets dramatic lashes, quiet pastels make way for bold crimsons, and minimalism shares the spotlight with maximalist details. From Jean Paul Gaultier’s bare-faced beauty to Marco Rambaldi’s pastel explosion, the season redefines personal expression through a bold lens. These are the ten runway-approved looks destined to inspire your beauty routine this spring.
1. Fresh Faced
Jean Paul Gaultier
The new nude is anything but boring. At Jean Paul Gaultier, skin was the statement—polished, radiant, and real. A light touch of skin tint, minimal concealer, brushed-up brows, and a dewy highlight placed strategically on the high points gave the impression of effortless, lived-in beauty. The look is less about covering up and more about showing off your skin’s natural texture—flaws and all.
2. Red Light District
Phillip Lim
Phillip Lim dialed up the drama with moody crimson tones layered around the eyes. The look was sultry and smudged, like the aftermath of a long night out in a Tokyo nightclub. Red eyeshadow swept across lids and bleeding subtly into the lower lash line created a blurred, neon glow effect. Balanced with a clean face and glossy lip, this trend channels high-impact with a modern twist.
3. Lash Out
Dries Van Noten
For Dries Van Noten, lashes took center stage—lengthened, spiked, and feathered into avant-garde perfection. Models blinked with architectural intensity thanks to stacked falsies and exaggerated lower lashes. Whether you opt for colored lashes or high-definition black, this look invites you to get creative with your mascara wand (or your lash glue).
4. Watercolor Blush
Brandon Maxwell
At Brandon Maxwell, blush wasn’t just a finishing touch—it was the star. Cheeks were diffused with soft washes of pink, coral, and berry that looked as if they were dabbed on with watercolor brushes. Applied high on the cheekbones and sweeping toward the temples, the effect was romantic, dreamy, and completely wearable.
5. Monotone Lids
Christian Cowan
Christian Cowan embraced the power of a single color. Monochromatic eyeshadow—from pastel peach to electric green—was matched with complementary tones on lips and nails for a futuristic twist on minimalism. This tonal technique makes a loud statement in a quietly sophisticated way.
6. Adoring Appliqués
Luar (Raul Lopez)
Raul Lopez of Luar turned the eye into a canvas with embellishments like rhinestones, sequins, and pearls. Designs varied from delicate clusters at the outer corners to fully adorned lids. These appliqués felt editorial yet surprisingly adaptable for real life—perfect for adding unexpected sparkle to a night out or festival look.
7. Frosted Lips
Sandy Liang
At Sandy Liang, the frosted lip made a sugary comeback. Think icy pinks, silver-lavender glosses, and sheer metallics reminiscent of Y2K beauty icons. The finish was shiny but soft, like lips glazed in cotton candy shimmer. Layer over a nude lip liner for dimension and a hint of nostalgia.
8. Pop of Purple
Chet Lo
Purple reigned supreme at Chet Lo, appearing in flashes on lids, lower lashes, and even brows. Whether in deep violet or soft lilac, the hue brought unexpected vibrancy to otherwise clean complexions. This trend thrives on contrast—pair a purple pop with bare lips and natural skin to keep the look balanced.
9. Lip Lined
Patrick McDowell
Patrick McDowell revisited the ‘90s lip—only this time, it's soft, sculpted, and thoroughly modern. Think neutral lipsticks paired with slightly deeper liners, blended just enough to create subtle definition. This trend adds instant polish and shape to any look, especially when paired with luminous skin and brushed brows.
10. Pastel Colors
Marco Rambaldi
Spring’s final word comes from Marco Rambaldi, who turned the runway into a pastel dreamscape. Soft washes of mint, butter yellow, lavender, and baby blue were blended over lids, cheeks, and even brows. These hues felt optimistic and serene, ushering in a new era of playful color without the intensity of neons or jewel tones.
Spring 2025 is about embracing the dualities of modern beauty: clean vs. creative, soft vs. bold, playful vs. polished. Whether you're drawn to minimalist radiance or maximalist whimsy, these designer-backed trends ensure there’s a look for every mood this season.
