The Spring/Summer 2025 Beauty Trends Are an Ode to Your Inner Child

Spring weather is always pretty unpredictable. One day it’s pouring rain, the next day sunny skies. One day you go outside in shorts and a t-shirt, and the next you’re pulling out the winter coat you prematurely tucked away. While spring fashion might be tough to nail down, you can always count on spring beauty trends to awaken your creativity. According to the 2025 spring runways, this spring is the time to step out of your comfort zone—like way out—by incorporating more colors, patterns, and embellishments into your daily beauty routine.
This season, designers took a moment to look back, drawing inspiration from classic childhood staples to add a playful touch to their runway looks. At Simone Rocha, eye makeup went beyond the standard smoky eye and was exaggerated with liners and floral appliques. The braided hairstyles at Chopova Lowena were punctuated with unexpected accessories. And at Theophilio and Grace Ling, fun nail trends from the early aughts reemerged in the form of iridescent and metallic finishes.

If these vibrant trends urge us to do anything, it’s loosen the reins and introduce a bit of whimsy into our everyday beauty practices. If the below trends are any indication of what this year’s warm weather months have to offer, it’s safe to say we’re all in for an exciting spring/summer season. So, if you’re looking to get back in touch with an imaginative sense of wonder, beauty is a good place to start. See some of our favorite beauty trends from this season’s fashion shows below.

Bold Eyes

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, which is probably why designers went all out on the eye makeup looks during fashion month. While some designers draw attention to the eyes with bold, smoky eyeshadows, as seen at Dsquared2, others opted for thick, geometric liners, like the ones models wore at Simone Rocha. At Luar, leopard-printed temporary tattoos took the place of your standard eye makeup.
