The Spring/Summer 2025 runway shows were full of inspiration, not just sartorially but also on the beauty front. This season, brands were bolder than ever before, embracing makeup and hair styles that went well beyond clean, no-makeup makeup or slicked-back buns. Ahead, discover the four best beauty trends that we spotted on the runways of the season, and how you can recreate them yourself.
One of the most prominent trends was the charm of lived-in hairstyles, as showcased by notable brands like Saint Laurent, Fendi, and Dior. Models on the Dior runway flaunted frizzy, undone buns inspired by Maria Grazia Chiuri’s athletic collection. To achieve this effortless look, it is suggested to use a texture-gripping hair mousse that provides just the right amount of volume. For those looking to invest, the Glass Hair Treatment retails at $80, while the mousse is available at select salons for $70.
The '60s were another major influence on the Spring/Summer 2025 runways. This decade's beauty elements were embodied through flowing, boho-chic locks at Chloé and striking kohl eyeliner featured by Gucci. Paul Costelloe also embraced this trend with full-bodied blowouts and pastel shadows generously swept over the lids. These retro elements provide a chance for modern-day interpretations, ideal for anyone wanting to channel a groovy vibe for the upcoming season.
Also captivating this season were experimental eye looks, particularly sequined-embellished liners that were notably present on Chanel's models, alongside Loewe’s futuristic, metallic wings. Bright feathery lashes at Ganni and tinted eyebrows in bold hues, such as the electric blue seen at Chet Lo, were significant highlights of the shows. This trend indicates a playful embrace of color and an invitation for makeup enthusiasts to explore creative expressions.
Sun-kissed skin was a focal point as well, with Ralph Lauren and Schiaparelli models showcasing luminous, bronzer-heavy bases. Roberto Cavalli took the look a notch higher by employing the TikTok-favorite “boy blush” technique, intentionally focusing blush placement lower on the cheeks for a radiant and youthful appearance. The glowy look can be best achieved with the right tools; a big, feathery brush is recommended to concentrate the bronzer in the middle of the cheeks before lightly diffusing to reach the desired intensity.
Overall, the Spring/Summer 2025 season offers a diverse range of beauty inspirations. From lived-in hairstyles and retro eye makeup to sun-kissed skin, there’s an exciting display of creativity for makeup enthusiasts to explore. Incorporating these trends can provide a major beauty glow-up, ensuring that everyone can find a look that resonates with their personal style.
