Makeup
Underpainting
Thanks to TikTok, the underpainting method has taken the beauty space by storm, and this spring, it’s got your name on it. From New York to Paris, the runways are showing that A-list makeup artists have this one on speed dial, especially for its ability to soften a contour. Also called the “Mary Phillips contour” (named after its inventor who is also Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner’s makeup artist), it involves applying contour first, with concealer and foundation layered on top.

Take on wings
Red Bull isn’t the only thing that can give you wings this incoming season, you can do this yourself. How? With that trusted liquid liner, of course. As many choose subtle beats this spring, a sharp wing is an easy way to add a bit of drama to your look without doing too much. Opting for a focal point for any makeup is the best way to balance out your look.

Oh, my blush!
One of the heavy-hitting spring beauty trends of 2023 is rosy cheeks. The runways of Christian Cowan witnessed this ’80s revival at maximum level. Yes, not many are comfortable with using a heavy hand with blush (although that’s the way to go), so influencers are using as much as they can stomach. Simply put, love your blush but don’t go overboard if you aren’t chilled with it.

Muted/dewy skin
Healthy skin will always be in vogue and the spring 2023 trend charts are proving it once again. Dewy skin began to hit a global peak sometime in 2020 as we were all confined in our homes and realized the importance of good skincare. (Maybe because we were expected to make up less often.) This trend toes the line between makeup and skin. Simply put, it’s about the hydration you get from moisturizers and the illumination highlighters and primers offer your complexion.

Metallic Eyes
When it comes to springtime glam, it’s all about the shimmer. A metallic shadow swept across your lids will definitely add a pop to your overall makeup look. Tip: Use your finger to apply your shadow rather than an eyeshadow brush if you want more pigment.

Some experts swear that the crux of makeup lies in how well the eyes are defined. This is likely the reason beauty enthusiasts spend most of their time discovering ways to highlight its beauty.

Whether you opt for the timeless black variation or decide to pop with color, this trend will serve you well this spring.

Bleached/colored brows
From Kendall Jenner to Lizzo, celebs caught our attention with bleached brows, and we still can’t get enough. Speaking to TZR, celebrity makeup artist and co-founder of BAKEUP Beauty, Jo Baker calls that this trend will saturate the atmosphere this spring. “We’re breaking boundaries right now with color and experimenting through beauty in Spring 2023,” Baker says. “We’re being given full permission to dive in because color isn’t as ‘crazy’ as previously received.”

’90s lips
The spring beauty trends for 2023 have a ton of throwback moments; one of which is the ’90s liner. Whether it’s with a nude lip or a red pout, a lip liner will add definition to your lips and make them look fuller. You can use a sheer gloss to finish it off for a more ’90s babe vibe.

Grunge
Another throwback making a resurgence, the messy, lived-in eye makeup of grunge is a hit. What makes this even more appealing is that you don’t need this to be perfect as imperfection is the key to the ‘90s grunge aesthetic. Play with smudgy eyeliner, heavy mascara, and dark (or nude) lipstick to make your point.

Stained lips
A solid-color lip stain is a must-try for spring 2023. As the flowers begin to adorn themselves in an array of colors, let your lips follow suit with bold lipstick and a personality to match! While red is a tried and trusted hue, you can also try some other interesting colors like orange, purple, and brown.

Colorful, floating eyeliners
Back to the eyes, aren’t we? If you’re still “treading carefully” when it comes to making your eyes pop, you’re missing out on a whole lot. But not anymore (we hope!). Colored liners are an exciting try for spring as they can be manipulated to fit your personality. That is to say, you can be as daring or as subtle as you choose. No one’s judging.

Nude lips
Throughout history, any makeup that treads the line of natural-looking never disappoints, and this is the case with nude lipstick. It’s how effortlessly they mirror your lips as though they aren’t even there, yet still packing a defining effect that makes them a personal favorite. Whether you opt for one that matches your lips or you go a tone lighter or darker, nude lips never miss.

Hair
Braids/locs
Yup, you knew this was bound to be here as these hairstyles never seem to go out of style. This spring, however, there’s a catch: styling. How well you style your braids and locs is in direct proportion to how heavily you slay. That means, if you go regular, expect a regular slay (don’t be mad, we didn’t make the rules). If you don’t want to go all dramatic with your hairdo, you can stick to simple accessories like beads for an equally elevated vibe.

Add some color
It’s spring, color is definitely welcome so, feel free to add a dramatic impact to your look with a little (or a lot) of color. Regardless of your hairstyle, a tasteful color pop may be just what you need to upgrade your slay to god-tier status. You’re welcome.

Face-framing styles
Whichever route you may choose to go, a hairstyle that cradles your face is one worth trying. These styles undoubtedly complement your facial features, thus, putting your beauty on focus. Whether tight curls or voluminous waves, any hairstyle that frames your face is the answer to your “what’s my next hairstyle?” question.

Blunt bob
Another spring 2023 beauty trend is the blunt bob, and for good reason. We’re seeing a lot of celebs and influencers rock this hairstyle to a T that it’ll be a crime if you didn’t try it out as well. Should you be in need of extra drama, then go platinum blonde and finish off with red lipstick. They wouldn’t even know what hit them!

Half-up, half-down ponytail
Last week, we spotted iconic actress, Naomi Campbell in a chic half-up, half-down ponytail hairdo and we fell helplessly in love. Well, Ms. Campbell is just one reason why you should try out this hairstyle, another being that it fits almost all face shapes. Whether you’re wearing silky-straight hair, braids, curls, or coils, you should at least go half-up, half-down once this spring.

Sleek wet curls
There’s something irresistibly sexy about this hairstyle, but sadly, we can’t seem to put a finger on it. Sleek wet curls can make any woman look like a goddess (or should we say mermaid?) worthy of worship. And with the right makeup to complement it, the spotlight will certainly be on you!
