Spring is here, bringing with it a wave of trends perfect for these sunny days. Looks are becoming more lightweight, fresh, and full of color.

Spring Summer 2025 Makeup Trends: Colorful and Vibrant Eyeshadows

Path McGrath saw it coming: this spring is all about color, especially when it comes to eye makeup, which becomes the true highlight of any springtime look. Whether it's delicate pastel hues, metallic shades, or shimmer, color in all its forms is the common thread of the season. It’s time to dare with bold eyeshadows that make the eyes pop and bring fresh energy to the face.

Butter Skin

From glass skin to satin skin, now it’s time for butter skin — an ultra-soft, natural finish that feels like second skin. Created by model Aisha Potter, this trend focuses on silky, super-hydrated skin without the high-shine effect of glass skin. It gives the impression of skin at its best, with a smooth, velvety texture that feels almost buttery to the touch. Skincare is key to this look: choose products rich in hydration, such as serums and nourishing creams that enhance the skin without weighing it down. For foundation, go for a medium coverage formula that’s lightweight and hydrating. Look for blends that melt into the skin and even out tone without looking heavy. To balance glow and reduce shine in targeted areas, finish with a translucent powder to set the look while maintaining a natural radiance.

Messy Eyeliner

This trend is arguably the most relatable of all. It’s super easy to achieve, even for those who struggle daily with trying to draw the perfect, symmetrical eyeliner. The messy eyeliner look (also known as messy eyeliner) is simpler than a smokey eye and less demanding than a classic cat-eye. The idea is to draw a pencil line and blend it out with your fingers or, for more precision, a small brush. To intensify the look, add shadow or black pencil along the lower lash line, or keep it soft with just a touch of mascara.

Blurred Lips

Blurred lips is a trend that originated in South Korea, where the lip contour is softened rather than sharply defined. The idea is to create a natural look with a soft, effortless vibe. Instead of drawing a clean line, the color is gently blended outward using fingers or a brush to achieve that “blurred” effect, giving the lips a more soft-focus appearance. Matte or velvet lipsticks, with their powdery textures, are ideal for this look, as they blend more easily than other types.

Ghost Lashes

Ghost lashes is a makeup trend focused on lashes that are thin and delicate, creating an almost invisible yet defined effect. The goal is to achieve ultra-light, natural-looking lashes, as if mascara wasn't even there — and sometimes it really looks like it’s not! This effect is created by applying a very lightweight mascara, avoiding too many layers to keep the look fresh. Ghost lashes are perfect for those who love a minimalist makeup style or want all the attention on the lips.
