4 spring beauty trends and how to achieve them
As dark mornings and freezing temperatures persist across the UK, spring may still seem far away. However, the fashion industry is always one season ahead, so it will be no surprise that the beauty trends for spring 2023 have already graced the catwalks in fashion capitals around the world.
So, what can we expect to see come March? Is the focus on skin health sticking around for another year? Are Hayley Bieber’s iconic glazed doughnut nails still a must-have for celebrities? Get ahead of the game for spring 2023 with this guide to achieving the latest beauty trends.
Warm hair shades
Following on from the copper hair colour that was the most covetable shade of 2022, seen on the likes of Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, warm hair shades are in for 2023. Dark browns and ash blondes are out: instead, think honey tones for lighter hair, while brunettes can enrich their shade with deep reds.
Lots of layers
As people start to grow out the pixie cuts and mullets that were two of the most popular cuts at the beginning of this decade, super layered hairstyles are in for 2023. Two names that you will be seeing this year are the wolf cut and the octopus cut, both of which favour short layers on top to provide volume. You need a fair amount of length to get the ‘tentacles’ for the octopus hairstyle, whereas the wolf cut is a blend of the mullet and a shag cut.
Skinny eyebrows
While most of the beauty trends of 2023 are a continuation or enhancement of existing trends, eyebrows are flipping 180 degrees. The bold brow that has been in fashion for the last decade, championed by models such as Cara Delevingne, is seeing its reign come to an end. The super skinny brow of the 00s is back in, a look that is best achieved in a salon to ensure symmetry. You can even take it one step further and bleach your brows. Don’t forget to ensure your lashes are also looking their best by using a lash serum!
Glowing skin
Just as the trend for warm hair is only getting hotter, the desire for radiant skin is here to stay in 2023. Skincare has been prioritised over make-up looks since 2020, and a healthy glow is likely to remain the most important beauty trend this year as well. Think tanned skin, nourished with hydrating products like tan accelerators, and a fresh-faced look with a dewy shine.
2023 is taking the glazed look one step further by introducing shimmer make-up for a luminescent glow that goes beyond the natural. Shimmer powders can be used liberally across the face, while earth-tone metallics are available to make facial features pop.
