Spring 2024 Beauty Trends:
Runway-Inspired Looks to Refresh Your Style

March 2024

Spring is upon us, bringing longer days, warmer weather, and the perfect excuse to refresh our beauty routines. As nature awakens, it’s the ideal moment to experiment with fresh beauty looks that reflect the energy of the season. Each year, new trends emerge, offering us a chance to embrace new styles and looks. For the top beauty inspiration this spring, we’re turning to the runways to uncover the season’s most exciting trends.

From vibrant hair colors to bold makeup and nail art, the Spring/Summer 2023 runway shows offered plenty of innovative beauty ideas. This season, we’re seeing updated takes on some familiar trends, with TikTok aesthetics like balletcore and mermaidcore continuing to shine through. Expect to see feminine touches, such as hair bows and glossy, wet-look hair, still going strong. The runways also embraced soft pink hues, blush-drenched cheeks, and ultra-dewy skin, perfect for creating a fresh, glowing look.

Nineties nostalgia remains a major influence, with grunge makeup—think heavy eyeliner and smudged shadows—dominating. The era’s supermodel aesthetic also continues to make waves, with glossy brown lips adding a chic, retro touch. Additionally, 2024's breakout color, fire engine red, is not only a fashion favorite but also making its way into bold beauty choices like striking red eyeliner and deep cherry nails. A classic red lip is another timeless trend that’s perfect for spring.

Meanwhile, the Fall/Winter 2024 runway shows offered plenty of fresh inspiration. While many trends have carried over, new ones are also making their mark. We saw a resurgence of doll-like beauty with dramatic, spidery lashes and intricate hairstyles. Statement lips in vibrant shades ruled the runway, while whimsical braids, from sculptural twists to sky-high styles, took center stage.

Spring’s beauty trends invite us to play, explore, and reimagine our looks for the warmer days ahead. Whether you’re trying a nostalgic ’90s look or leaning into the season’s vibrant colors, there’s something for everyone to embrace this spring.
