This season, the beauty looks at New York Fashion Week’s SS25 shows were a testament to the industry’s skillful balance of simplicity and creativity. Beauty trends leaned into a demure, effortlessly chic aesthetic, while embracing daring, avant-garde elements that left a lasting impact. From barely-there skin finishes to bold, experimental accents, makeup artists and hairstylists took the runways to new heights. Here’s a breakdown of the top beauty trends that radiated elegance and inventiveness at NYFW SS25.

Off-White: Natural Glam Meets Strong Cultural Symbols

At Off-White’s SS25 “DUTY FREE” collection, creative director IB Kamara merged African and American influences to create a vivid narrative of cultural fusion. Raisa Flowers brought this vision to life backstage with radiant, dewy makeup, enhancing the models’ natural beauty to look as though they had just stepped off a plane from Ghana.

Hair, styled by the incredible Jawara, embraced the models’ natural textures, with some sporting ponytails wrapped in elastic cords for an elevated touch.

The overall look balanced heritage and futurism, with powerful jewelry and strong, traditional elements adding depth to the styles.

Sandy Liang: Princess Glam with a modern twist

Sandy Liang’s SS25 collection took a whimsical approach to beauty, described as a “princess ready to work” aesthetic. Romy Soleimani, the makeup artist behind the look, crafted a frosted pink lip with a unique twist—layering a hint of white eyeshadow to create an intentionally imperfect yet effortlessly cool effect. The quirky, playful lip was a standout, adding an offbeat charm that felt modern and fresh, perfectly in line with Liang’s youthful energy.

Alaïa: Immaculate Nudes by Pat McGrath

At Alaïa, the legendary Pat McGrath brought her signature glow to the runway of Pieter Mulier. The key focus was on flawless, nude tones with a touch of brilliance, courtesy of her Skin Fetish Highlighter + Balm Duo. The eyes were kept iconic, with precise definition and glowing skin that had the perfect balance of natural beauty and sculpted elegance.

This nude-centric look was the embodiment of quiet luxury, a trend that is making waves in both fashion and beauty. The makeup allowed the models’ natural beauty to shine, while still bringing the refinement that Alaïa is known for.

Nanushka: Futuristic Piercings and Glow

For Nanushka’s 20th anniversary show, makeup artist Fara Homidi elevated the models’ fresh, glowing skin with a minimalist futuristic touch—delicate silver lip piercings. The look was both subtle and striking, with these metallic accents standing out against radiant, flawless complexions. The contrast of natural glow and edgy adornment created a modern beauty statement that felt innovative and bold.

3.1 Philip Lim: A Delicate Touch of Lilac

At 3.1 Philip Lim’s SS25 show, Fara Homidi continued to push the boundaries of delicate beauty. She added a wash of lilac under the models’ eyes, evoking a dreamy, ethereal quality. This soft touch of color captured the theme of “memories of joy,” bringing a sense of lightness and emotion to the runway. The lilac hue felt like a subtle yet impactful nod to nostalgia, offering a fresh take on understated eye makeup.

Palomo Spain: Playful Hair Moments

Paloma Spain’s SS25 show was a vibrant display of bold and imaginative hairstyles. Some models strutted the runway with gelled, sculpted styles that seemed to defy gravity, while others embraced more colourful, cosplay-inspired looks, accented with shades like plum.

Despite the eccentric designs, the overall vibe remained natural and effortless, with a harmonious blend of avant-garde creativity and organic charm.

From Off-White’s culturally infused natural glam to Nanushka’s futuristic piercings, the beauty trends at NYFW SS25 were all about celebrating contrasts. Whether it’s Alaïa’s sophisticated nude glow or Sandy Liang’s playful pink lip, this season encourages us all to embrace both simplicity and boldness in our beauty routines. Step out of your comfort zone and let your personal style shine—there’s something here for everyone.

The post Voir Beauty NYFW SS25 Beauty Trends: An Ode to Natural Glam and Bold Statements appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Stars like Kim Kardashian, Ciara, and Jennifer Lopez have already embraced Ling’s avant-garde designs, a testament to her growing influence in both fashion and pop culture. The Neanderthal collection was no exception, with models like Alex Consani (who opened the show), Ashley Graham, Neelam Gill and Meredith Duxbery showcasing pieces that epitomized Grace Ling’s vision of elegance redefined by technology and art.

Ethereal Meets Primitive: A Fusion of 3D Design and Ancient Symbolism 

Grace Ling’s SS25 ‘Neanderthal’ collection, masterfully combined cutting-edge 3D technology with primitive, nature-inspired elements. This fusion reached its peak with two standout looks that encapsulate the collection’s ethos: Alex Consani’s 3D sculptural dress and the captivating finale, Look 34. 

Alex Consani’s look opened the show with a breathtaking display of 3D-printed elements, merging art and technology in a way that challenges traditional fashion boundaries. The intricate, metallic design created a futuristic silhouette that felt both otherworldly and grounded in the tactile reality of material innovation in material innovation, setting the tone for the entire collection. 

The final look n°34, featured a model in a metallic dress surrounded by birds, evoking a witchy, ethereal energy reminiscent of dark fairytales. 

The metallic sheen of the dress and the eerie presence of the birds symbolized the collision of ethereal elegance and primal beauty. This look didn’t just close the show—it left a lasting impression, embodying the Neanderthal collection’s theme of evolution and the convergence of past and future. 

Tailoring and Blazers 

Grace Ling’s SS25 collection features captivating tailoring that redefines traditional elegance. The collection showcases a series of torn and deconstructed blazers, each adding an edgy, avant-garde twist to classic silhouettes. Among these, the white tailored blazer stands out as a potential bestseller. Ling’s design incorporates transparent elements and a raw, unfinished look, merging sophistication with rebellion. 

Ling’s confidence in this piece is clear: “My gut tells me that this is going to be one of the bestsellers,” she remarked, emphasizing her belief in the white-tailored blazer’s commercial and artistic impact. This standout garment exemplifies her innovative approach to fashion, where the juxtaposition of refined tailoring and dramatic deconstruction creates a striking visual contrast. 

Nailed It: Primitive Nails by Meechynails 

Another captivating detail was the primitive nails designed by Meechynails, which echoed the collection’s blend of raw and futuristic elements. These intricate designs added a unique, tactile dimension to the runway looks, further enhancing the collection’s overall impact. 

Illusionistic bags 

Grace Ling’s SS25 collection is highlighted by her creative use of bags that play with perception and function. Key pieces include: 

Butt Minaudière: This signature piece features a glossy, silver finish that cleverly mimics the contours of a human form. Its versatility was showcased throughout the show, appearing in various styles and colourways, including a striking black version. 

• Handaxe Bag: A collaboration with Humane, this bag stands out with its integration of advanced technology. Designed to house the AI-powered Ai Pin, it combines ancient inspiration with modern tech, making it a standout accessory that bridges the gap between the past and the future. 

Glam: Timeless Elegance

To complement the futuristic pieces, the models sported classic, timeless makeup courtesy of Laura Mercier. The classic red lip added a touch of glamour and sophistication, providing a contrast to the more avant-garde elements of the collection.

A New Era in Fashion Soundscapes 

No detail was left untouched, including the music. Madeon, the visionary electronic music producer, crafted a bespoke soundscape for the runway, infusing the show with a dynamic rhythm that brought the collection to life. His mix of pulsating beats and ethereal melodies perfectly complemented the duality of Ling’s designs, creating an immersive sensory experience.

Glam Rock Makeup From Alectra Rothschild’s ‘Masculina’ Runway

Next on our beauty radar is the electrifying glam rock makeup from Alectra Rothschild’s powerful show, “Masculina.” Titled “You Are Wasted Here, You Are a Star,” the show made a bold statement about the societal position of trans people, declaring their undeniable brilliance despite a world that fails to fully appreciate them. “You are wasted in this world because we are not appreciated for all that we are. WE ARE STARS,” said Rothschild in an interview with Odalisque Magazine. 

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/C-YBF7yNtFx/?igsh=MWRwMTBpcG03ZjFrZA%3D%3D&img_index=1}

This fierce message was brought to life with an equally bold makeup look by the talented Dausell. The electric makeup, reminiscent of the iconic glam rock style of Kiss, also drew inspiration from queer makeup culture. The designer’s vision extended beyond just the runway, reflecting the intimate and transformative moments of putting on makeup with friends, whether before a night out or in the afterglow of returning home.

Hairstyle

One noticeable trend that emerged from the runway was the prevalence of natural, effortless hairstyles. Whether it was wind-swept locks, natural afros, ‘just-rolled-out-of-bed’ textures, or sleek center parts, these looks seemed to dominate the shows. This emphasis on authenticity and minimalism aligns perfectly with the aesthetic often associated with Copenhagen Fashion Week, where the beauty of simplicity takes center stage.

The Wet Look At Forza Collective Show

Another standout style was the sleek ‘wet look’ showcased during the Forza Collective show. Models graced the runway with hair styled to appear freshly wet, adding a touch of sophistication and drama to their overall appearance. This look, with its glossy finish, perfectly complemented the bold, modern designs of the collection, emphasizing a powerful, contemporary aesthetic.”

The ‘Just Woke Up Look’ By Gestuz

Another striking hairstyle from Copenhagen Fashion Week is the “just woke up” look presented by the brand Gestuz. This style is practical for achieving a relaxed and effortless appearance, perfect for creating a casual yet chic vibe.

Glitter and Glam Jewels

Diesel

Diesel’s models were seen walking the runway with playful chunky glitters on and under their eyes. The lights reflected off of them beautifully, adding to the whole vibe of the look. The clothes and makeup paired together so stunningly!

MSGM

MSGM’s show also featured the subtle glitters. The small silver gems have been flecked on the models face, giving a soft glimmer when the light hits. This matched the sparkly clothing and playfulness of the clothing designs.

Etro

Etro’s models were also seen with embellished under eyes. Pearls and gems were placed under the models eyes and on the tops of their cheeks, paired with subtle peachy pink blush. This tied in perfectly with the designers colour palette and statement jewellery.

Max Mara

Max Maras’ designs walked the runway on the 24th February. The neutral toned eye makeup and dewy skin matched perfectly with the earthy tones in the clothes, paired with slicked back hair and a natural lip the whole look comes together.

Prada

Prada’s models were seen walking the runway with a perfectly sculpted up-do. This hairstyle matched the vibe of the runway show, and allowed the clothes to be seen with no interference. The sleek, modern and somewhat futuristic hair brings something different to the runway this year that we are yet to see.

Fendi

Fendi’s models were seen with a deep side part wet look hairstyle. The hair is subtly flicked out at the ends in certain renditions, giving a cutesy look, matching the sheer pastel clothes the models were wearing. The wet look hair is a style that doesn’t seem to be leaving us anytime soon.

Roberto Cavalli

Roberto Cavalli’s models were seen rocking the wet look, with slicked back hair also. The simplistic hairstyle is effective and doesn’t distract from the bold clothing.

Missoni also followed suit with the same coloured eyeshadow, but this time with more neutral tones. The subtlety of this doesn’t take away from the clothes, but instead adds to the whole look.

Ferraris models were seen with a bold black lip. With minimal makeup, the black lip is the statement of the look. Adding to the dramatic clothes, bold lips are here to stay.

Versace

Versace had their models donning bold black eyeshadow, with liner on top and under the eye to create a dramatic and intense appearance. An ode to the graphic black liner trend of the early 2000’s.

Blumarine

Bluemarine had their models working either a bold red or black lip, depending on their outfits. The accented colour was then mimicked with the lip colour.

The statement eye trend has been sweeping the post-pandemic world and Dior’s haute couture Autumn/Winter 2021 show saw the models contrast feminine dresses with a punk-like eye.

Head of Christian Dior makeup Peter Phillips was the brains behind this masterpiece telling Vogue: “The look is elegant and a bit edgy. It’s a very graphic eye, but it’s got a bit of a soft edge. We actually went back to what we did for pre-fall, which was an under eyeliner, where I added glitter patches on top, which Maria Grazia really liked. But, we wanted to do it in an intense blue using a matte black and with the colour Denim from the 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette over it.”

Emphasis was on the eyes and the eyes alone, as the skin was kept matt and natural with a slight contour and eyebrows were naturally filled to compliment the model’s tone. If you want to get the full look, Dior has cited their Dior Forever Natural Bronze, Dior Addict Lip Glow and Dior Backstage Face and Body Powder-No-Powder.

Over on fashion, there was a celebration of hand-loomed tweeds and riding hats, while the show’s backdrop was created especially for the event by French artist Eva Jospin in the Rodin Museum which celebrates the savoir-faire and cultures of the world.

The post Dior’s Graphic Blue Punk Eye: How To Get The AW21 Show Makeup Look appeared first on Voir Fashion.

New York Fashion Week indisputably sets the trends. Its influence does not stop at fashion and clothing as an array of hair and beauty trends debut on the runway and into the public interest.

HBO’s Euphoria (which debuted this June) has had a strong influence on the makeup artists of NWFW with MUA Romero Jennings even hash-tagging on his Insta post featuring his VFiles looks. With the shows now a vibrant memory, here’s our rundown of the best looks in hair and makeup that will shock, amaze and inspire you.

MAKEUP

Head in the Clouds

At Mansur Gavriel it was all about the eyes. Romy Soleimani (@romyglow) was in control of painting the eyelids of the models, and skilfully utilised white and azure hues to create dreamy looks that mirrored the sky. Soleimani used Bobbi Brown to create these awing looks and kept true to her love of colour.

Acid Green

Do you ever get the urge to find the brightest eyeshadow in your makeup collection and paint it all over your lids? Soleimani’s acid toned eye-looks for Ulla Johnson did just this. Sharp and glow in the dark, Soleimani applied neon green eye pigment delicately and idiosyncratically to each model, creating a masterpiece and continuing her experimental style.

Graphic Eyeliner

VFiles rocks an edgy-streetwear aesthetic and fittingly, MUA Romero Jennings (@romerojennings) went big and bold with the makeup. Red-winged liner to the heavens, holographic glitter, and silver brows all caught our attention.

Jennings put a contemporary yet dazzling spin on 70s punk beauty, using M.A.C products to create the look – Jules from Euphoria would be proud. Use the Chromaline gel eyeliner in Basic Red to recreate the look, and don’t feel pressured to make it too perfect, just wing it.

Rhinestone Encrusted

Pyer Moss’ show was a love-letter to the 70s. Red rhinestones encrusted the models’ eyes and garments down the runway. Uoma beauty took control of beauty and kept up with the brand’s commitment to keeping makeup diverse, purposeful and head-turning. Red monochrome eyes were all the rave. The makeup at fashion week teaches us to have fun with glitter, bright colours and killer wings. Treat your face as a canvas and experiment with a few of these future-facing eye-looks!

HAIR & ACCESSORIES

Don’t Touch My Hair

Pyer Moss’ show Collection 3, Sister also impressed as he put on display the contributions of African Americans to American culture. Fittingly, natural hair slayed the runway and was styled with skill. Such hair looks are long overdue at Fashion Week with African-American models such as Olivia Anakwe previously calling out their negative experiences with hair stylists.

Moss’ show proves that change is occurring.

With New York city only recently banning discrimination of natural hair, Moss’ show seems to question why it has taken this long. His show embraces and celebrates, in all of its glory, natural hair. Mini gold heads of rapper Ms Lauryn Hill embellished braided hair, halo-like Afros graced heads and dreads of all variants were all standouts.

Holo-Hair

Both Jonathan Cohen and Ulla Johnson featured models with hair plaited together with fabric (Cohen) and holographic plastic (Johnson) giving off Boho-Chic vibes. Though fabric in hair is a little 2000’s it could be making a comeback this season. Alice + Olivia colour-coordinated baby-pink hair scarves tied into a ponytail with eye-shadow, major 90s nostalgia.

Bejewelled Faces

Accessories? Makeup? Both? Regardless of unanswered questions – Area stole the show with the way they reinvented the chemical compositions of ‘makeup’. From diamante beards to Swarovski tears, Area’s aesthetic had us in awe and left us philosophising just how they managed to keep the jewels on faces without falling off! Face makeup was kept to a minimum for the show allowing the jewels to shine with full force.
