Shimmer and Glitter Galore

From soft pops of shimmer to full-on glitter lids, sparkle was one of the most dazzling beauty trends. At Marc Jacobs, makeup legend Pat McGrath brought shimmering doll-like lips and cheeks, creating a whimsical and youthful look. At Christopher John Rogers, foil shimmer lips took center stage, offering a futuristic, metallic feel. Meanwhile, at Cecilie Bahnsen, gentle glitter was placed under the eyes, giving an ethereal, feminine effect that was both subtle and enchanting. Whether you choose a glimmering highlight or a bold glitter lid, this trend is all about embracing light and sparkle.

Vampy Wine Red Lips

For those looking to make a dramatic statement, the bold and mysterious allure of vampy red lips was everywhere. At Tom Ford, the lip color was striking with a stunning lacquer finish—shiny, bold, and full of attitude. Meanwhile, Pat McGrath wowed at Versace with dark, seductive shades like her lipstick in McMenamy, creating a gothic vibe. The beauty of the vampy red lip this season was its versatility: from gothic drama to a softer, bitten-red hue, this trend is all about enhancing your lips with a deep, rich tone.

Undone Hair

Gone are the days of perfectly polished hair; this season, undone hair was the star of the show. Models strutted down the runway with textures and styles that looked more natural and lived-in, yet still glamorous. At Prada, the hair was undone and frizzy, embracing a more carefree look. Many other shows, like Chloé, incorporated boho-inspired waves that felt effortless and chic, where Dyson created natural-looking, elegant waves. Embrace the frizz this season, as the trend is all about creating an easy, yet stylish look that is all about a natural, relaxed and sophisticated vibe.

Grunge Is Back

Grunge makeup made a bold return this season, and it’s taking us back to the ’90s. At Dior, the eyeliner was edgy and fierce, giving off a polished yet rebellious vibe. Isabel Marant embraced smudged eyeliner, giving models a rock-and-roll, party-girl appearance. This trend was echoed at Marni and Blumarine, where a smudged, smoky eye created an effortlessly cool, look. Whether you smudge it intentionally or let the eyeliner do its thing naturally, grunge is back in full force for a modern take on ’90s beauty.

1960s-Inspired Eye Makeup

The ’60s are back and this time there is a fresh take on their eye trends. With icy, powdery eye makeup that gave models an ethereal, vintage vibe we are loving this ‘60s revival. At Richard Quinn, frosty shades dominated the eyes, creating a frosted, dreamy look. Meanwhile, at Sandy Liang, makeup artist Fara Homidi used pastel shades on the lids for a playful, retro feel. Armani gave us a unique take on this trend with double liner—featuring a white inner liner paired with top and bottom coats of mascara—creating a striking contrast that felt fresh and modern. This retro-inspired look is a fun, feminine way to play with soft, colourful shades that stand out.
