Thinking about a career in Beauty Therapy? Studying a qualification is a must for getting started in the industry – but it doesn’t stop there. Staying on top of the latest trends is just as important and being able to adapt your skills to new styles, and client preferences helps you stand out in a fast-moving sector.
Here are some of the top beauty trends our current Beauty Therapy students are watching right now as they train to become fully qualified professionals.
Full glam is out – clean girl is in
The days of heavy contour, baking and full coverage foundation is on its way out. The ‘clean girl aesthetic’ is dominating the scene, with natural, minimal makeup looks trending on social media such as Hailey Bieber’s strawberry makeup and glowing skin vibes.
Today’s beauty lovers are focusing on skin health, sustainability and enhancing their natural features and our students are learning how to perfect this fresh-faced look, while also building knowledge on skincare and products.
Minimal manicures are the moment
Acrylics and dramatic nail art have taken a back seat, making way for chic, simple styles. Popular choices in salons now include soft shades like OPI’s Bubble Bath and subtle French tips.
Our students are practicing precision techniques and freehand skills to nail their natural looks, and the perfect prep for what clients are asking for in the real world!
Natural lashes over dramatic volume
While Russian and hybrid lash extensions still have a fan base, the clean girl trend is shifting attention to more understated lash styles. Classic extensions, lash lifts or even opting for natural lashes are becoming the go-to choices for a soft, effortless eye look.
