Trending: SS23 Beauty Trends To Have On Your Radar

There were some serious beauty trends that emerged from the SS23 shows.

You can start nailing them now. Take note.

FRESH FACES

Taking over where skinimalism left off, fresh faced, all-natural beauty is very much still in. First came Y2K poster girl Hailey Bieber’s high-gloss (doughnut-inspired) skin. Then Pat McGrath’s self-dubbed “Minimal Majorness” hit the scene at the Stella McCartney, Miu Miu and Burberry shows and solidified the trend.   

So, how do you achieve a high-gloss, fresh faced look? It’s all about glowy skin. You want to look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and the easiest way to do it is with your skincare routine. 

Start with Ren’s Glow Daily AHA Tonic for light exfoliation and then move on to serums and moisturisers. Our go-to? Augustinus Baders The Cream. Packed full of amino acids, vitamins, aloe vera and protective antioxidants it’s your whole skincare routine in one pot. To conceal any imperfections while giving your skin a bit of warmth, apply Charlotte Tilbury’s Unisex Healthy Glow. Enriched with natural tanning pigments, including terracotta, this tinted moisturiser adds a dewy finish to the skin. To keep yourself feeling fresh throughout the day, reach for Omorovicza’s bestselling Queen of Hungary Mist for a dose of hydration and a bit of glow.

GLAM GRUNGE

Not to state the obvious but ‘90s beauty is back and along with the excessive use of lip liner and brown hues, there’s one trend we’re very excited about – grunge makeup. Think matte smudged kohl liner, thick mascara and dark shadows – cute, right? Look to Pat McGrath’s looks at Versace and Prada for inspo.  

Mastering glam grunge might seem daunting but help is at hand. Keep it simple and go for Natasha Denona’s Mini Xenon Eyeshadow Palette. Ft. four black, grey, and silver shades, it’s the perfect little compact for creating smokey eyes. Next up, Estée Lauder Double Wear Infinite Waterproof Eyeliner. Designed with a smudging brush at one end, it’s ideal for blending your eyeliner into your eyeshadow for a subtle statement. To finish, the more mascara the better and M.A.C’s Macstack Mascara Mega Brush was designed exactly for this reason. Top tip? For doe eyes, layer up on your bottom lashes or for a snatched finish, skip the bottom lashes and angle the top ones outwards.

FLASH OF COLOUR

Bright blush, neon eyeshadows, bold lips: SS23’s all-out colour trend ain’t for the wallflowers. But it is easy to nail. 

Spotted at the Off-White and 16Arlington shows, models gave a nod to Euphoria-inspired makeup, sporting bold purple and blue eyeliner. While DSquared2 created two-tone lips looks and neon green eyeshadow. 

If you’re a total beauty junkie, you’ve probably seen the rising trend of blush contour. Switch your bronzer for an ultra-bright blush (like NARS Blush in Aroused) and apply as you’d apply your contour product. Feeling bold? Jump on the Y2K beauty trend and try your hand at some intrinsic designs with an eyeliner or eyeshadow palette. Top of our list? Morphe X Avani Gregg For The Bebs Artistry Palette. Ft. 30 highly pigmented matte and glitter and shades – need we say more? And of course, Charlotte Tilbury’s Eyeliner Duo that delivers rich lines of colour in just one application.

COOL GIRL HAIR

After Sam McKnight’s hair at 16Arlington, we’re all about that chilled, French girl approach. The key? Embracing your hair’s natural texture and style. Music to our ears. 

For this look, ditch the styling tools and start with a texture spray like Bumble and Bumble’s Surf Spray. Formulated with sea salt, it adds volume and style for matte, beachy hair all year round (no ocean necessary). Once your hair is dry, begin styling with Hair By Sam McKnight’s Cool Girl, for his signature tousled, ‘done, undone', look. Wearing your hair up? The Easy-Up Do is your best friend. Infused with a light talc formula it gives hair just the right amount of grip, so you don’t have to worry about pins and grips – genius. 

If you want to tidy the end result up, Larry King Hair’s A Social Life For Your Hair features a creamy formula that helps to tame flyaways without flattening the hair or disrupting its texture.

ALL ABOUT LIPS

It’s no surprise that colourful lip looks continue to be big news. The latest way to style your lipstick? Diffused. The key to pulling it off? Smudging and blurring. Keep it relaxed.   

At the forefront of this look? Vivienne Westwood. Models were seen wearing minimal makeup with colourful, berry-toned lips – so chic. 

The easiest way to pull it off? A lip tint. Benefit’s iconic Benetint, subtle and long-lasting, it’s perfect for a fuss-free lip look. Plus, you can tie your whole look together by using it as a blush on your cheeks and a flush of colour on the lids. Another hot contender is Kylie Beauty’s new Lip Blush – a lightweight and buildable formula that delivers a sheer wash of velvety colour. 

Prefer lipstick? Opt for a strong colour, like Patrick Ta’s Major Headlines Matte Suede Lipstick in Hard To or Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution in Love, but instead of applying straight to your lips, use your finger to lightly dot the product onto your lips. This will give it a subtle, smudged look rocked by the supermodels. Easy.
