Spring Summer Beauty Trends Forecast

This spring-summer, key beauty trends have taken hold. We’re embracing the vibrant and luminous looks inspired by glorious Aussie sunshine. 

Join us as we explore the top trends set to dominate the season, from liquid blush for that perfect rosy flush to radiant glows that capture the essence of summer. Discover how to refresh your beauty game and shine all season long.

Liquid blush

More is more when it comes to blush this season. Whether you prefer a rosy pink or a deeper hue, now is the time to push your blush boundaries. Gone are the days of one-tone matte foundations or subtle powdered blush. Bold, rosy-pink cheeks are taking centre stage, adding to the summer glow aesthetic. Liquid blush is in, and layering tint is the key to achieving that radiant look. Just make sure to blend it in! 

Head in and discover your perfect shade at Mecca or Sephora . If you’re looking for cult-favourites, head to M.A.C. Make sure to find a shade that stands out against your skin tone! To complete the look, add a light layer of brow pencil and a flick of mascara from Priceline.

Golden glow

Ready, set, glow! Your morning beauty routine will see you opting for dewy liquid foundations and golden highlighter sticks. Why rely on sunshine when you can create a radiant look with a few considered products. Start with a lightweight moisturiser to prime your skin and create a glowing base. Skip the heavy foundations and opt for light coverage to let your natural beauty shine through.

A highlighter stick (aka, your magic wand) can be generously applied to your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and your cupid’s bow for a luminous finish. These strategic applications catch the light perfectly, giving you that coveted golden glow.

Visit endota spa to pick up your summer moisturiser and SPF for a light liquid foundation. Then head to Big W and Napoleon Perdis for the ultimate selection of highlighter sticks to sparkle all season long!

Prep your base      

The right skincare routine is essential for creating a smooth base for your spring and summer makeup looks. There are two non-negotiables when it comes to skincare – sunscreen to protect your skin and cleanser to wash away impurities. Beyond these essentials, additional steps will help to plump and prep your skin for makeup.

Daily moisturising is key to protect your skin from the elements. If you need a top-up, head to Mecca. Skincare enthusiasts will appreciate the benefits of a niacinamide to control oil flow and hyaluronic acid to hydrate your skin – both of which you can pick up from Sephora. For those moments when you have a few minutes to yourself, treat your skin to an ultra-hydrating face mask from Priceline for a revitalising boost. Invest in these skincare essentials to ensure your makeup sits flawlessly and your skin looks its best.   

Protect your skin

While the beauty of our Australian climate is undeniable, the importance of sun safety and applying SPF 50+ has become second nature. It’s no longer just beach days where we dutifully slip, slop, slap – we now understand the harsh skin effects of daily sun exposure on our skin. Because of this, we welcome a plethora of exceptional sunscreens to choose from.

Gone are the white, zinc-like blends that wash you out and require far too much effort to apply. We are fortunate to browse racks of silky sunscreens at endota Spa, Myer and MySkin that are tailored to our skin types and formulated to be lightweight and easy to apply.
