8 spring summer makeup trends that are honestly too cute

I don’t know about you, but there’s something about the sun hitting just right, that makes me want to rethink my whole makeup look. And, the spring summer makeup trends we’ve spotted emerging from social media 100% understand the assignment when it comes to reflecting that warmer weather with some truly dreamy makeup moments.

Take the ‘90s frosted shimmer that’s been quietly making a comeback. Going forward, there’s about to be a whole explosion of shimmering eyeshadows and lipglosses right on cue to sparkle in the sunshine.

Glazed is still on the agenda, but lips are getting all the attention with some of our favourite brands following in the footsteps of Dior’s cult Lip Glow Oil and releasing yummy renditions of their own. (See: Merit, NYX and Rare).

Want something a little grittier? Grunge kept things moody through winter, but the look is going nowhere for spring and summer, the only difference? We’ll see a more lightweight take on the trend with delicate textures and sheerer smoked-out eyes.

As for the rest? Keep reading for our round-up of the best spring summer makeup trends of 2023…

Sheer-bold blush 

Sheer and bold aren’t exactly two words that should work together, but the sheer-bold blush trend is proof that the two can work in harmony. Heading into the next couple of seasons blush is going big. There’ll be more of it (swept liberally across cheeks, temples and the bridge of the nose), but to keep it feeling fresh, we’re seeing sheerer formulas. We love liquid versions like Vieve’s Sunset Blush Balms, Saie’s Dew Blush, Iconic’s Sheer Blush, Glossier’s Cloud Paint and Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Beauty Blush Wands.
