Hello summer glow! We’ve been waiting for you! It’s time to embrace the warmth and lean into the spring summer beauty trends to see you through the sunny months and beyond. Just like a seasonal wardrobe refresh, the transition into warmer months means time to refresh your beauty routine (maybe cull a few of those old eyeshadow palettes from your early 20s) and embrace the trends of this season. Consider this your beauty fix, designed to see you through spring and summer.

1. Dupe dynasty

The beauty industry is no stranger to dupes, with designer replicas constantly flooding the market. Popularising dupes this season are endless TikTok videos showing the world that many of these budget-friendly alternatives don’t compromise on quality. The MCoBeauty Flawless Glow Luminous Skin Filter from Woolworths and Priceline e.l.f Halo Glow Blush Beauty Wand are two cult favourites available at Stockland Shellharbour. So next time your makeup products all run out in unison (a universal experience, we know), there may be a designer dupe to fill its place at a fraction of the price!

2. Espresso shot

Inspired by the rich warm tones of your morning brew, ‘Espresso shot’ makeup is having its moment. The deeper, sultrier sister of last year’s latte makeup, the key to nailing the Espresso Shot look is with a rich brown smokey eye and glossy chocolate-coloured lips. Keep shimmers to a minimum, instead opt for a contoured cheek and jawline to keep attention on the eyes and lips. Must-haves for this look are a gloss and liner (we love the M.A.C Lip Liner Pencil from Myer and OXX Lustre Lipstick from Target as a combo), brown eyeshadow in a variety of shades (the Rimmel London Magnif’Eyes Eyeshadow Palette from Priceline is a cult favourite), and lashings of black mascara.

3. Effortless elegance

Attention less-is-more make-up lovers, effortless elegance is the trend for you! Low maintenance is key with this sophisticated look, think a fresh base with a quality tinted moisturiser or skin tint, neutral toned eyeshadow with a natural but fluffy brow. For your base be sure to try the Napoleon Perdis Off Duty Tinted Moisturizer and the Coco & Eve Daily Radiance Primer from Hairhouse for some extra oomph. Aside from being a lazy girl’s dream (and a busy mum’s saving grace) the real beauty of this trend? The focus on minimal but quality products will keep your wallet so happy.

4. Body beautiful

A trend made for the summer months; nourishing skin care reigns supreme in perfect timing for bare-legged beach days. As the name suggests, ‘Body beautiful’ is your sign to schedule an ‘everything shower’ and get reacquainted with your favourite butters, moisturisers, and cream because the pampering is head to toe! The lightweight formulation of the Vaseline Intensive Care Body Lotion from Good Price Pharmacy keeps the skin hydrated but not tacky, whereas the heavier Body Butter from The Body Shop is a dry skin-saving grace.

5. Cherry cola lips

Yes, we hear you, a red lip isn’t anything groundbreaking, but ‘Cherry cola lips’ are the 2024 answer to the classic scarlet pout, and with layering, dimension, and an undeniable shine it’s not one to gloss over. Three key products are needed for this statement look inspired by the nostalgia of the bubbly beverage – a rich brown lip liner from Myer, a red lip stain from Myer, and a sheer lip balm or gloss from Target. The glossy ombre result creates a well-defined shape that is far easier to maintain than your classic block red colour, just top up with gloss and go.

So, whether it's an at home pamper session with a new body butter, cherry cola lip for an evening with friends, or a new fave dupe lipstick to keep in your handbag, what trends will you be trying for your summer makeup looks this year?
