In an ever-evolving world of beauty and cosmetics, there’s always a new trend on the horizon, capturing our attention and igniting our creativity. Inspired by the sweetness of our favourite fruit, the strawberry makeup look is huge this September, and we’re going to give you all the juicy details you need to know.
Strawberry makeup embodies the carefree spirit of summer, bringing forth a fresh, youthful vibe. Started by the queen of fashion herself, Mrs Hailey Bieber, Instagram influencers and TikTok vloggers are creating and sharing their own take on this makeup trend that combines rich reds with delicate, glossy pinks. Strawberry makeup enhances your natural beauty and is very adaptable, making it accessible to beauty fans of all ages, and all skin types.
The Strawberry Girl Glow
As seen on Hailey Bieber’s TikTok and many other creators’ tutorials, a dewy base is a must to start off this makeup look. Opt for a dewy-finish primer and/or foundation for the base, using a shade that brings out your natural skin tone, whilst giving a subtle glow.

Sugar Blush
Its ALL about the blush. The key to a successful strawberry makeup look is a berry-toned blush. Liquid blush is a great way to add a youthfulness glow to your cheeks and intensify radiance, however, if you are prone to oily skin, a powder blush with added shimmer is equally as effective. This step is perfect for giving you that ‘freshly-picked-from-the-garden’ look.

Berry Eyed
For the eyes, choose matte browns or pinks to sweep through your crease, dusting lightly to avoid a smoky eye; remember this look is all about natural beauty! Add an optional small brown wing towards the edge of your eyes and brown mascara to finish off the eyes.

Naked Honey Palette – Urban Decay – £32
Juicy Lips
Lip stains and glosses would be the best choice when it comes to strawberry-hued lips. Use a pink or red lip tint to outline your lips, smudging the edges to blend into your natural lip colour and appear fuller. Add a clear gloss with a shimmer, if preferred, to add a shine to your lips and tie in the overall dewy look.
