Beauty and the Brushes
It’s early spring time. Leaving the winter blues behind and spicing up the glam game sounds like a plan. The new makeup trends in the beauty world are definitely going to make you want to step out and spread the word.
The Shimmer
This time around, the trend has all grown up. Think tiny pops of metallic and subtle shimmer accents on eyes and atop cheekbones. It is more refined: delicate, pearlescent tones rather than chunky glitter.
Steps
● Prep your skin with a moisturiser that's right for your skin type
● Use a shimmer eyeshadow to add brightness and highlight your eyes
● Use a dry eyeshadow brush to blend the edges of the eyeshadow
● Apply a creamy gloss to your lips to complement the shimmer
Modern Blush
This makeup trend will continue its reign in 2025. Apart from pink, natural red and burgundy tints as well as fall-inspired brown (yes, brown) will see us reinvent a natural-looking flush that works across all skin tones.
Steps
● Cleanse, moisturise, and apply sunscreen
● Use a primer to hydrate skin and reduce the appearance of pores and wrinkles
● Apply foundation to your face
● Cover dark spots with concealer
● Use bronzer and highlighter to contour your face
● Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, cheekbones, or temples with a light hand
● Finish with a setting spray to seal in your look
Cherry Girl
This is the latest fruit trend taking the beauty world by storm. A deeper, more glam take on the Strawberry Girl trend of the summer, it shows that red really is the colour of the season. It is all about striking a balance. This trend typically includes elements like rosy cheeks, flushed lips, dewy skin and subtly defined eyes. The key is to create a look that’s as sweet as a ripe cherry but with a hint of mystique.
Steps
● Apply a primer to your skin
● Put foundation to create a light coverage base
● Apply eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara
● Wear neutral pink blush
● Apply a lip liner and red lipstick
● Set your makeup with a setting spray
