Spring 2026 Makeup Trends
While winter beauty focuses on keeping your skin soft and supple in colder temperatures, summer makeup is all about the outdoors. Whether you are heading to the beach or to a barbeque, this season it’s all about luminous finishes, metallic tones and golden glows.
This radiant skin-focused approach to makeup also means that SPF is a must-have to protect your complexion in the short-term and prevent aging in the long-run.
What beauty aesthetics are trending right now?
“Golden Aura” is the universally flattering beauty look that is popping up all over socials. Inspired by golden hour, this makeup trend gives you that sunset glow all day long. The finish is sun-kissed, pearlescent, and lightly bronzed. The palette is more “warm luxury” so you want your skin to be pumped full of hydrators such as hyaluronic acid then enhance your complexion with minimal products for a polished shimmery finish.
What are this year's makeup trends?
Evolving from last year’s “Clean Girl” and “Quiet Luxury” trends, makeup continues to be pared back and natural but with more luminosity. Gen Z remains skincare obsessed with a glowing complexion taking centre stage in this season’s makeup look, matte bases are being exchanged for satin and dewy finishes, while eyes and lips remain neutral.
What is predicted for beauty this summer?
Say goodbye to heavy cakey foundation, this summer’s beauty look is healthy skin with subtle shimmer where the sun naturally hits. Instead of strong eyeshadows or lip colors go for an all over golden glow.
