It has been a long, grueling winter in NYC but the one thing that has been keeping me going is the fact that spring is just a stone throw away. Just a few more weeks of freezing temperatures and frozen sidewalks before the flowers will start to bloom, which means there’s a light at the end of the tunnel! There’s one thing in particular that has made me especially excited to embrace the warmer weather ahead… and it is all thanks to the upcoming spring beauty trends. As much as I love my hot cocoa lip combos and holiday gilded eyes, I am eager to add some color and freshness into my beauty routine that often comes with the spring season. From cherry girl makeup to skin-focused beauty, here’s what to get on your beauty radar for the warmer months to come.

Cherry Girl Makeup
Without a doubt, there’s always some sort of fruit-inspired makeup look that is trending in the beauty world. This spring, it looks like the cherry girl aesthetic is taking the number 1 spot. With all shades of red still in the spotlight and Glossier just releasing a cherry capsule collection, it only makes sense that this fruity look is trending! For an easy adaption, get your hands on the Black Cherry Balm Dotcom and use this to add a punchy touch to your cheeks and lips for a monochromatic look.
Fragrance Layering
For years, I have been a fan of fragrance layering and am happy to see it on the up and up! This spring beauty trend is when you strategically wear more than one perfume to create a dimensional, multi-layered signature scent. By far, this is one of my favorite ways to stand out as I am guaranteed to get compliments when I layer multiple fragrances!
Some of my favorite fragrance combinations:
- Tom Ford Rose Exposed and Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous
- Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace and 27 87 Genetic Bliss
- Phlur Soft Spot and Nest Madagascar Vanilla

One Pop of Color
Bright colors are always emphasized during the springtime, so be sure to let this reflect in your makeup choices. This spring, it’s all about incorporating one singular color into your look. Whether it be a bright fuschia lip or a pastel blue eye look, this is an effortless way to create a statement without going overboard. From there, keep other areas pared back to let this singular pop of color shine.
Skin-Focused Looks
Personally, I adore anything that celebrates natural beauty. With spring on the horizon, consider this your sign to embrace skin-focused looks. The key is to let your natural complexion shine through for a fresh, effortless glow. Achieving this starts with a consistent and effective skincare routine, followed by lightweight products like skin tints and brightening concealers for a radiant, barely-there finish.
Shimmer and Shine
ophisticated, grown-up shimmers will remain a dominant beauty trend in 2025. Think subtle shimmer toppers on the eyes or a delicate swipe of highlighter on the cheekbones for a refined glow. The key is to keep the shine elegant. Opt for pearly finishes and finely milled shimmer formulas over chunky glitter for a more polished effect.
