What are the main beauty trends of summer 2023?

With summer thankfully just around the corner, it is important to keep up with the latest beauty trends. Let us take a look at what you can be expecting to see and how to achieve it.

Beauty Trends for 2023

Bright hair colours

With designers such as Prabal Gurung and Diesel debuting bright, vivid hair colours on the runway, it is no surprise that bright hair colours are tipped to be a huge summer beauty trend. 

Colours such as aquamarines and neon pinks are already popular and are only set to gain traction as the year continues. Remember you don’t have to go a bright colour all over – consider doing highlights or an ombré look that finishes in a bright colour. 

Whilst this striking look is achievable at home with plenty of time and patience, talking to your hairstylist would be a better option. You may even need to do some research into stylists near you that are comfortable doing bright colours. 

Light brows

Starting on social media, bleached and light brows have made their way onto the catwalks. So it is inevitable that this beauty choice is going to be a hit for the summer. Celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Lizzo have all rocked this look and inspired their fans.

If the bleached look feels a bit extreme to dive right into, some beauty therapists can tailor the blonde colour to match your skin tone and hair. In your consultation, ask for them to be lifted a few shades lighter rather than going barely-there blonde.

Natural tan

A must for summer every year is a natural-looking tan. For some of us, a fake tan can be hard to get right. Tan accelerators could be the way forward for anyone looking for that summer glow.

Tan accelerators help to stimulate the natural melanin production in your skin so that when it is exposed to sunlight your natural colour comes through. One of the benefits of tan accelerators is that they are streak-free, long-lasting and encourage a natural glow. 

Bold lips

You heard it here – pink lipsticks are out, and bolder, darker colours are in. Whilst a dark burgundy doesn’t scream summer, adding it to your look can create dimension to your face. When paired with a simple brow and eye look, a pop of colour on your lips will be bang on trend.

Along with this, lipliners that are slightly darker than your lipstick will be a trend that is continuing. By lining your lips like this, your natural pout is enhanced and made to look fuller. 

Nail jewellery

A manicure is a regular beauty process for many people, so why not create something you love? If you love a bit of bling and sparkle nail jewellery is set to be a huge trend in summer 2023.

To pair with nail jewellery, longer nails will be replacing the shorter trends that dominated 2022. Longer nails are ideal for popping a piercing through and displaying your nail jewellery in all its glory. Pair it with a simple, clean manicure to make the details really stand out.
