Another Fashion Week season is upon us, if you can believe it. This could be an alarming reminder of time’s passage, but the spring/summer 2025 beauty moments seen from New York and London so far have proved grounding, for it’s clear that they remain firmly rooted in today’s free-spirited beauty zeitgeist. Somewhere between contouring and ‘clean girl’ , we’ve reached a happy medium.
Indeed, natural-looking complexions have been omnipresent on the runways—albeit amplified with a stand-out beauty detail. This was often via romantic, soft touches. Picture the pastel-sheened pouts at Sandy Liang , or the eye-grazing updos sported for Richard Quinn .
Similarly, under-eye blush was worn in delicate lilac over at 3.1 Phillip Lim and complemented with dusty rose pouts. Of course, several designers opted to err bolder.
At Luar , clean complexions were the base for an otherwise otherworldly look, where black lacquer worn over models’ eyebrows and mouths made for intriguing drama. Christian Siriano also veered into the dark side, by way of kohl-smudged eyes paired with glitter-encrusted side parts. And that’s not to say anything of Chet Lo , who channeled futurism through cyber-chrome nails and metallic hair.
Below, behold the best spring/summer 2025 beauty looks as seen so far from New York and London..
