It may be hard to believe, but the days are still warm. And with them comes a fresh feeling about everything. From new popular hair colors to a makeover, spring and summer are known as a time to reinvent yourself and have fun. Last year it felt as if the sun came out, everyone bought into the copper revolution, and maroons and bright peaches were everywhere. Not to mention the resurgence of the black-and-white latte makeup coded in the ’90s.
But when it comes to this year’s beauty trends, newness is already creeping in, appearing on social media, fashion week, and beyond. We reveal eight spring/summer beauty trends you should know about right now.
Spring/Summer 2024 Beauty Trends:
1. Pearly skin
These past two years have been full of dew, shine, and luster. And it’s not going away completely, but it’s going to be slightly improved.
“I love this idea of a fresh, shiny glow,” he says. makeup artist and mac cosmetics Makeup Artistry Creative Director Terry Barber. “The skin has become a little more pearly. It reminds me of 18th century portraits and the Regency era. Ornately dressed skin with pearl tones on the cheekbones and nose. Delicate and elegant.”
The original Benefit Moon Beam (RIP) or the current High Beam Liquid Highlighter (£18) are perfect for this. Dot it gently on your face – it’s always easier to add it than take it away – and blend it only into the high cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid’s bow, and collarbone. Angelic.

2. Soft sweep
Long deplored as “cocky” (don’t get me started), side splits are quietly being re-established as a style. today.
“One of the most popular styles on the red carpet these days, side-swept or asymmetrical hairstyles have been seen time and time again. The relaxed elegance of hair cascaded over one shoulder is very feminine, yet , it looks undone and soft.” celebrity hairstylists and trend forecasters (known as “hairboyants”); tom smith.
“It’s an easy style to pull off even if you have shoulder-length hair. If your hair is too soft or smooth to stay in place, condition it with a texture spray, styling powder, or even dry shampoo.”

3. Maximalist Renaissance
If Hailey, Kendall, and Sofia have taught us anything, it’s that you can do more with less. But perennially sophisticated styles, Vaseline mascara (don’t knock it until you try it), clear lip gloss, color, and more are coming in 2024.
“We will always have minimalism,” he says barber“But now it’s going in parallel with a more decadent, slightly escapist beauty. People are now fascinated with bringing out different aspects of your personality with different makeup looks.” And I think you are.
“The past 10 years have been a bit formulaic, everything had to be right and done with great care. There needed to be a 20-page instruction manual on how to (properly) do eyeshadow and contour. It almost felt like a competition and there was a little bit of judgment involved. I think now people are feeling their beauty again and remembering that it’s meant for them. Everyone. It has its own characteristics and personality.”
So forget the lip-or-eye adage. Lips, eyes, cheeks, eyebrows, and eyelashes are all in play this year.

4. Jelly milk nails
Natural, simple, and timelessly elegant, bare nails are back. Create a juicy manicure with a plump, clear or milky finish like Dua Lipa’s. With just one coat of polish (plus a base coat and top coat), you can create soft rounded or squared shapes for a classic look that lasts for weeks. Don’t forget to prepare your cuticles and moisturize regularly.

5.Hello curl
More volume, more longevity. In 2024, blunt, short shapes will give way to weightless halo-like curls.
“This spring, we’ll be seeing the most dramatic version of the halo cut, which frames the face with ethereal curves. This crown-like shape adds texture and volume. It has an imposing shape, like a statue to be admired.” Smith. “Even those with straight hair can achieve a similar shape with rounded layers and a voluminous blowout or curl.”
“Achieving this shape with natural, textured hair requires correct hair preparation and a visual approach to the cut,” advises. Smith. This is something you should discuss with your stylist. “Straight or wavy hair types require very technical layered cuts.”

6. All about apricots
trend forecasting company WGSN A complete change from the blue pink and block pink of 2023, the year of Barbie, we have named apricot crush as the color of 2024.
A color that is both soft and vibrant, apricot-toned cheek and lip colors add brightness without feeling creepy like orange or light peach. For your cheeks, choose a formula that creates a refreshing golden glow, reminiscent of the sun-kissed glow of the last night of the holidays. For lips, using a gloss or balm (like Makeup by Mario Moisture Glow Plumping Lip Serum in Apricot Glow) will remove color without blocking.

7. Return of the Vamp
Regardless of what you think of the trending “yakuza wife” aesthetic, one thing’s for sure: the vamp is back. Contrasting lip liner, smudged smoky eyes, and cool-toned cheeks, combined with voluminous tousled hair and mascara-laced lashes, are part of the smoldering look. It gives a sensual, dark look and brings out rich red and brown tones in your makeup.

8. Single strand
Single Strand is rebranding itself into a less high school and more sophisticated school.
“Asymmetrical continues to be the theme this season, with a simple yet soft and practical high-fashion style. If your hair is longer than your lips, this style will work well for you.” Smith. “Paired with a center parting, this style feels more ‘designed,’ while paired with a side parting, it looks more effortless.” ”
“If you have short hair, try this style by tucking most of your hair behind your ears and pulling one strand from each side of your hair (from either the middle or next to the side parting).”
