The Spring Beauty Trends You’ll Be Seeing Everywhere This Season, According to Mecca

Brighter days are in our future, thanks to the advent of spring. After a heavy winter season (which saw many of Australia’s states and territories go in and out of lockdown at various points), it’s time to shake off the cold weather shackles and embrace the warm, sunny days that are on the way.

And, while we might not have much assurance as to when lockdown will end in various parts of Australia, we can use this time at home to master our spring beauty looks. The makeup trends associated with this time of year are undoubtedly the best. After months of dark reds, purples and blacks dominating the trends, we can now burst into the new season, ready to don bright, brilliant colours.

Thankfully, this spring season is no different, with MECCA recently releasing its makeup predictions for the next few months. According to MECCA, the trends are going to revolve around glowing and glossy skin as well as experimentation with colour. Keep reading to see the full trend breakdown.
