BAFWEEK didn’t just preview the garments and accessories we’ll want to wear during Spring-Summer 2026/27. As with every edition, the runways also served as a window into the beauty trends that will accompany the coming season.
This time, the beauty look moves between two universes that, far from being opposites, coexist: on one hand, a fresh, luminous beauty with a natural appearance; on the other, details capable of transforming a look completely, such as XL lashes, a more pronounced bronzed effect, or hair with extreme shine.
The key is that there is no longer a single way to wear the trends. Beauty becomes more flexible, allows mixing references and adapting each proposal to personal style.
Makeup: Luminous skin, standout lashes, and a rules-free beauty
The beauty of the upcoming season seeks a balance between naturalness and expression. In makeup, the skin is worn fresh, healthy, and luminous, while some details take center stage and turn makeup into a true tool of expression.
The glow and natural-looking skin remains one of the major keys for Spring-Summer 2026/27. The finish looks cared-for and luminous, with coverage that allows maintaining the skin’s appearance and adding dimension without losing freshness. The trend also reflects an increasing search for products that combine makeup and skincare.
But if there is one element gaining strength this season, it is the lashes. The gaze becomes the center of the look and runs from defined and delicate effects to more intense versions, with volume and greater impact.
Another resource that remains among favorites is the bronzed effect. Warm tones are back at the center to add dimension to the face and recreate that sun-kissed skin look, ideal to accompany summer looks.
On the lips, the emphasis is on
And there’s one idea that threads through all these trends: makeup is becoming increasingly free. References from different decades coexist and blend without needing to follow a single code. Natural-looking skin can be paired with a grunge-inspired gaze from the 90s, lips can be worn blurred, and eyeliner can lose precision.
Hair: extreme sleekness, mirror shine, and wet-look
In hair, the season also finds its great protagonist in shine. One of the trends most highlighted on the runways was ultra-straight hair, perfectly aligned and with a polished finish reminiscent of the so-called mirror effect.
The idea is to wear the mane frizz-free, with a uniform surface and an intense shine that transforms even the simplest hairstyle. The result feels sophisticated and modern, yet can easily adapt to everyday looks.
The straight and polished hair can be worn loose, with the part clearly defined, or paired with more structured hairstyles. The key is achieving a neat finish, where shine becomes the true protagonist.
But straight hair isn’t the only version that appeared at BAFWEEK. The wet effect also had its moment on the runway, with hair styled back or slicked to the head to achieve that wet-looking finish. It’s a bolder proposal that adds a sophisticated and contemporary touch to the look.
What’s interesting is that both trends arise from the same search: polished, shiny hair with a very clear aesthetic intention. Hair stops being a secondary accessory and becomes part of the look’s visual language.
Thus, the beauty left by BAFWEEK for Spring-Summer 2026/27 is built from contrast: natural skin with standout lashes, hydrated lips alongside a more intense gaze, and minimalist manes that become the center of attention thanks to their shine.
The good news is that you don’t need to adopt all trends at once. The season invites you to pick, combine, and find that version of the beauty look that best suits each person.
