Spring Beauty Trends

Spring is in full swing, and it’s about time we delve into all the spring beauty trends together. Some of these trends aren’t just limited to spring; they’ve been making waves recently. Shall we uncover more about them together? Let’s dive in and discover all the beauty secrets this season has to offer!

Strobe face trend

Of course, we must take a little trip back in time and remember how this trend started, and what better way to do that than at the Haute Couture Fashion Week with Maison Margiela by John Galliano. The focus here is on luminous, dewy skin, which isn’t as difficult to achieve if you know the right products. And for that, I’m here, right? It all starts with good skincare, even before a good primer, and you can find those products in the rest of this post. Products that can help give your skin that glow include hydrating fluids, moisturizing serums… I love starting my day with already hydrated skin, which I usually achieve through my nighttime routine. A few times a week, I use face masks like Skinesis Sarah Chapman, and after that, to ensure that freshness and hydration stay in my skin, I add the overnight facial from the same brand. I feel like that’s already half the job done. Before applying makeup, after washing my face, I use Chanel Hydra serum. As for makeup, there are plenty of products that can help you achieve that dewy look. For instance, I love Chanel Les Beiges Water Tint, which doesn’t provide heavy coverage but gives the skin a clear glow.

Mermaidcore

One of the newer trends that I’ve noticed is mermaidcore. What does this entail? Despite sounding intense, it’s not. It involves a play of blue, green, and purple colours, in the form of sequins, whether glittery eye shadows or body shimmer lotions. There are countless options. This might not be my vibe but I love watching it and seeing other people achieve mermaid core makeup. I have a few product recommendations that help us stay on trend but in a classic way. For skincare, the Rose INC Skin serum has been a game-changer for me. It gives that natural glow and hydration.  As for makeup, the Chanel blush has been a staple in my routine for a while now, and I absolutely adore it. It’s lightweight, and leaves a dewy finish that complements the mermaid theme beautifully. When it comes to eyes, I prefer sticking to more natural and delicate shades with a hint of shimmer. Whether you opt for Chanel Liquid Eyeshadow or the Cream one, you can’t go wrong with Chanel. They even have a subtle palette of glittery eyeshadows, or if you’re in the mood to play around with colours, can’t go wrong with Prada. The key to mermaidcore is to have fun with makeup while keeping it sophisticated and wearable. With these products, you can effortlessly embrace the mermaid aesthetic without going overboard. Regardless of the trend, as far as lips are concerned, I use Buxom and Charlotte Tilbury lip pencils most often.

Dedication to the colour red

In the realm of makeup, after a year dedicated to Barbie core, we are gradually transitioning to a related colour, and that colour is red. If we take a look at PFW, we can also see that red was one of THE colours on Paris Fashion Week runways. It dominated the scene with a 55% increase in its presence. Naturally, everything followed suit. Red nails and lips are everywhere. When it comes to makeup looks, red is a bold and powerful choice that instantly adds a touch of glamour and sophistication. Red lips, in particular, have a timeless appeal and can elevate any outfit, whether it’s for a daytime special event or an evening event. Pairing red lips with neutral eyes or a subtle winged liner creates a classic yet impactful look that never goes out of style. When it comes to wearing red, it’s all about finding the right shade that complements your skin tone and personal style. Whether you prefer a classic red or want to experiment with different red tones like coral or burgundy, there’s a red hue out there for everyone. I’ve curated a selection of red lipsticks, ranging from creamy to matte and glossy, with various applicators. I’ve tried many of them and believe these are perfect and long-lasting. Find your favourite!

Nails

When it comes to nails, you know I’m forever a nude colour palette girl, but I must admit there is some temptation when it come to red. However, my recommendation will always stand for Chanel nail polishes. They are so creamy, easy to apply, and full of colour… I simply adore them, and they’re my go-to choice when I’m not getting a manicure. Chanel nail polishes are not only luxurious but also long-lasting and resistant to chipping. Their wide range of shades ensures that you’ll find the perfect red to match your style and mood. Whether you prefer a classic red, a vibrant cherry hue, or a deep wine shade, Chanel has you covered.

Care

When it comes to staying on top of these trends, let’s circle back to the most crucial aspect: skincare! Taking goof care of your skin, hair and nails will never be out of fashion.

Let’s start with facial care, where I have a few trusted allies. First and foremost is a product that’s incredibly popular for a good reason: the Red light therapy mask. I’ve talked about it before, possibly across all my platforms, and yes, it’s that good! I love starting my mornings while still in bed with this relaxing treatment, and the results are more than visible. It’s a massive recommendation from me.

Moving on with facial tools, I can’t overlook the Nuface face roller. It’s fantastic. I often get asked about what I do for my skin, whether I’m hiding some new treatments from you all, but the truth is quite simple and accessible to everyone. This roller refreshes my face and leaves it feeling tightened and smoothed. I adore it and am considering investing in more of their products. To maintain even tone and skin texture, I like to apply the Kiehl’s avocado cream around my eye area, I also like the U Beauty concentrate and the Ordinary eye serum. It really gets the job done. Chanel Hydra serum also plays a significant role here. And let’s not forget about silk pillowcases! They play a huge role, especially if you’re doing your skincare routine right before bedtime.

As for hair care, you know I’ve been collaborating with Kerastase for a long time, and that’s no coincidence. I have several of their sets that I love to mix and match, and they’re definitely the reason why my hair looks so nourished and healthy, especially since I’ve been dyeing it a bit lighter. Of course, we can’t skip the Dyson Airwrap. I’ve shown you multiple times how I use it, and it’s definitely my savior, especially for those who like to wake up with styled hair without rushing to the salon every morning.

When it comes to body care, I highly recommend dry brushing as a good way to exfoliate the skin, stimulate circulation, and positively impact hormones. It’s recommended before bathing, and afterward, a well-hydrating balm will finish the job perfectly.
