It's my job to analyse fashion month beauty looks—these are the trends I'm stealing from the SS25 runways

I'm the first to admit that it's pretty crazy to be talking about Spring/Summer 2025 beauty looks right now—but such is the nature of Fashion Month. In the same month I hit publish on our beauty report on all things autumn/winter beauty trends, the fashion and beauty world descends on New York, London, Milan and Paris to showcase the best looks for next summer. I get it, it's hard to keep up—hell, even I have to Google 'What season are we in?' countless times a day, and it's my job to follow these things.

For the next month, I will be tied to my laptop in order to bring you the very best beauty looks straight from the Spring/Summer 2025 runways. As I'm starting to embark on my cosy season beauty rituals, like opting for the ultimate autumn nail trends and toying with the idea of changing my 15-year-long commitment to my signature style in favour of autumn 2024 hair trends, I'm also looking forward to next spring.

As New York draws to a close and all things kick off in London, if you hate the idea of cold days and dark nights and are looking for some mental escapism, these are the best Spring/Summer 2025 Fashion Month beauty looks I plan on replicating ASAP.

NEW YORK

Proenza Schouler

Super-long, boho waves with a velvety, fluffy texture? Proenza Schouler, you know me well.

Ralph Lauren

Any runway that delivers both Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell is a win—but the natural-looking, super-glossy skin at Ralph Lauren is what I'm most obsessed with.

Brandon Maxwell

I'm a sucker for a great bronzer, and I'm very into this placement—maximalist and low on the cheeks.

Prabal Gurung

New York Fashion Week has delivered a distinct lack of colour on lips—and I'm here for it. Fellow dry-lipped girls, it's time to dig out your lip balms because balmy lips are so in.

Tibi

This is basically one of my favourite make-up looks ever—it embraces what I like to call sand-kissed skin (rather than sun-kissed). Like you've spent the day at the beach and your skin is still flushed and sand-beaten.

Off-White

It has been a long time since I actually bothered reaching for highlight, but the supercharged highlight at Off-White has me reconsidering.

Jason Wu Collection

Matte skin for summer? Sign me up. There is something delightfully dry and deserty about a powdered, bronzed face in the warmer seasons, don't you think?

3.1 Phillip Lim

A white or nude liner on the waterline is a trick that every make-up artist I know swears by for achieving a bright, wide-eyed look—just like this one on the 3.1 Philip Lim runway.

Nanushka

Not glossy, but creamy, the complexions at Nanushka were soft, buttery and radiant—and it was courtesy of Omorovicza skin prep. “The new Soothing Salve was super nourishing and took down any redness or unevenness of tone. It left the skin hydrated and dewy,” says Fara Homidi, Lead Make-up Artist at the Nanushka SS25 Show. The new treatment launches later this month, and I for one can't wait to get my hands on it.

Sandy Liang

My favourite look from New York came via Sandy Liang. These soft pink lips are giving major noughties vibes, and I'm here for it. "Inspired by Sandy's designs, the make-up look perfectly mirrors the soft pink hues of her fabrics and the metallic sheen from one of her signature bags," says Romy Soleimani, Global Make-up Artist. "We blended two different Estée Lauder lip shades to craft a chalky pastel pink, applied in layers and pressed into the lips, appearing effortlessly imperfect. The metallic pink on the lips introduces a subtle, futuristic edge, while the skin radiates a healthy glow with glass-like sheen on the cheeks." The products used? Estée Lauder Pure Color Whipped Matte Lip Colors in Air Kiss and Social Whirl.

Maria McManus

These eye highlights combined with a bare-look complexion and a bold red lip? Perfection. The look also came via Soleimani for Estée Lauder. "Futuristic minimalism in beauty begins with great skincare. It's all about nurturing the skin with nourishing, energising products. Once the skin radiates its natural beauty, allowing the woman's true essence to shine through, I turn my attention to the finger details—details with intention, much like the thoughtful designs in Maria's collection. Whether it's a subtle highlight in the eyes or a bold red lip, every element serves a purpose," she says.

Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Lip Oil was applied to eyes like a primer, and the silver shade in the Pure Color Envy Luxe Eyeshadow Quad in Grey Haze was added to inner corners for an icy finish.

Tommy Hilfiger

My eyes were on the hair at Tommy Hilfiger. Not sleek but also not a flyaway insight—it's smooth, polished, buttery hair that still leans into natural textures.

Christian Cowan

Bobs aren't going anywhere for SS25, and the cropped bobs at Christian Cowan were most certainly a moment.

Carolina Herrera

We haven't seen a lot of liner going on in recent years, but the perfectly executed feline flicks at Carolina Herrera make a strong case for a liner resurgence.

Coach

More often than not, catwalk beauty looks are totally unwearable, and this is never truer than when it comes to interpretations of grunge. For Coach SS25, however, we see a soft, wearable grungy look come through, and I can totally get on board with it.

Tory Burch

Super-chiselled contouring reigned supreme at Tory Burch. Rather than being paired with a full-coverage, dramatic look, the rest of the face was left natural-looking and soft.
