These are summer's top makeup colour trends

Summer makeup used to be all about bold colour and bronzer, but this season’s shift is more nuanced. It’s less about high-impact drama and more about mood.

Texture matters. So do placement and tone. The best looks feel intentional but not overly polished.

This year, colour is a detail, not the whole story.

• Butter yellow: soft and sunny, this shade brings a warm glow to lids and cheeks.

• Blurred berry: a gentle flush for lips or cheeks. Natural, easy, and never overdone.

• Pistachio green: a fresh pastel that adds calm colour, especially around the eyes.

• Wet shine: glossy textures are everywhere: on lips, lids, even skin.

• Lovely lilac: light and wearable with a touch of nostalgia.

• Oceanic coral: a soft, sunkissed blend of blush and bronze.

• Future nostalgia: shimmer, soft metallics, and a hint of Y2K. Playful but polished.
