The Spring/Summer 2026 runways have wrapped and dictated the fashion and beauty trends set to come. Below, discover the top trends in makeup, hair, and nails that are sure to stay through the year to come.

1. Wavy Hair  

Runways across the globe—from Ulla Johnson to Dior—kept hair simple with undone, soft waves. Currently, undone waves are up +1,020% in searches to last year with social buzz up +175% after fashion month.

2. Winged Liner

Sleek cat-eyes made appearances at shows like Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi; however, unlike in seasons past, these winged looks were precise and classic. Winged eyeliner is making a comeback with searches up +6% to last year and growing.

3. Slicked Back Hair

A variety of slicked back hair looks—up +21% in market adoption to last year—took center stage from New York to Paris. We saw slicked back buns and low ponies at Prada, slicked back bobs at Tod’s, and slicked back undone hair at Khaite.

4. Maximalist Nails

Forget minimalist manicures—maximalist nails are back in. Whether busy with embellishments as seen at Kim Shui or mix-and-match stripe, star, and check nails seen at Chopova Lowena, maximalist nails are the new statement-maker. 

5. Pastel Eyes

Pastels are quintessential to the Spring/Summer runways in apparel and beauty, too. Pastel eyeshadow (+80% to LY)—and blue eyeshadow, up +100% in social buzz—were key this season, adding a pop of color to looks at Collina Strada, Area, and Anna Sui.

6. Berry Lips

Red lips continued on the runways as seen at Tom Ford and Roksanda––although, berry lips proved to be the top lip look of the season. Searches for berry lips are up +13% to last year in shades of burgundy and plum, seen at Proenza Schouler and Prabal Gurung.

7. False Lashes

There was heightened interest in lashes across runways from Eckhaus Latta’s faux white lashes to Harris Reed’s doll-like lashes. At the moment, fake lashes are up +6% in searches to last year and have 1.6B views on TikTok. 

8. Side Part

The side part—a millennial favorite—was prominent around the world this fashion month as seen at shows like Balmain, Stella McCartney, and Tory Burch—up +48% in searches to last year.

9. Flushed Cheeks

Though retro-feeling pink cheeks made an appearance, flushed cheeks proved to be the top blush look for this Spring/Summer. Flushed cheeks are up +60% in market adoption, offering a youthful look that we saw at Ralph Lauren, Prabal Gurung, and Di Petsa.

10. Soft Skin

Foundation took a back seat at fashion month with a focus on clean, soft skin on the runways. Lanvin, Max Mara, and Jil Sander embraced soft skin looks, up +60% in social buzz to last year.
