Wait because if you haven’t noticed, London’s beauty game is literally on fire. Between the chaotic chic of the streets and the inspo from the city’s most iconic salons, there’s no shortage of trends that’ll make your makeup bag feel ancient. As someone who’s been stuck in a beauty rut since January, I took it upon myself to decode what’s actually happening in the city’s beauty scene. Spoiler: It’s everything you’ve ever wanted but never knew you needed.
First up: nails. Yes, we’ve all been there—sticking to neutrals because, honestly, who has time for complicated manicures? But Londoners? They’re all in on multicolored madness. Think earthy tones in a rainbow of soft pinks, greens, and warm yellows. It’s like a mood board for your fingers, and honestly, it’s so worth it. If you’re a newbie, start with a creamy berry blush or a tinted lip balm—think of it as a gentle intro to the chaos. Pro tip: Pair it with a red nail look for that iconic London telephone box vibe. Essie’s gel polish will give your nails that Instagram-ready shine.
Then there’s the hair. Layers are back, baby—but not just any layers. We’re talking 90s-style face-framing layers that hit like a nostalgia bomb. The key? Invest in a hot brush for that salon-worthy bounce. And if you’re into updos, sleek plaits are the new go-to. Secure them with Color Wow’s hairspray (because let’s be real, your hair deserves a break from the chaos).
Lastly, makeup. Berry tones are taking over, from blushes to lip glosses. It’s wearable, chic, and somehow very London. For a natural flush, go for a liquid blusher in a soft pink—think of it as your skin’s secret weapon.
💫 Master 90s-style layers with a hot brush and embrace sleek plaits for a quick, polished vibe.
KEY POINTS: Stick to earthy multicolored nails for a bold yet balanced look. Master 90s-style layers with a hot brush and embrace sleek plaits for a quick, polished vibe. Ditch neutrals for berry-toned blushes and glosses—your skin will thank you.
