Easter Sunday is kind of the unofficial kickoff to spring beauty looks, in my opinion. I know spring was official on March 20th, but Easter time is my benchmark because my own mother always told me to WAIT to plant any new flowers until Easter Sunday arrived. This was because she said the potential for frost would be over here in Georgia. Which signals to me that spring is TRULY here on Easter! So today I am sharing wearble and easy makeup trends for Easter Sunday Makeup.
This means that pastels, bright florals, and sunshine are the best reasons to dress up a little more than usual. Whether you’re heading to brunch, church, or just a reason for a special family gathering, it’s the perfect holiday to lean into a spirited makeup look that complements the season.
Easter Sunday Makeup Trends
For 2025, the beauty trends are all about glow, softness, and wearable color. And don’t worry, we’re leaving the glittery TikTok looks to Gen Z. This year’s trends are surprisingly age-inclusive with a few fun curveballs that us over-40+ gals can confidently rock.
For my Easter look, I took a nod from the 1960’s mod makeup looks of Diahann Carroll and am showing you how to make it your own. Think the retro powder blue eye with stark graphic liner a la Twiggy, BUT, now with a softer approach like these inspo pics of Diahann. I think she looks so chic.
Easter Sunday Makeup Trend: Bold Color
I also took inspiration from the print in my floral print Amazon dress, $40, as I like to do when choosing my makeup looks and trying to tie in the makeup with the wardrobe! (wearing a size small btw.)
Before we get into this look tutorial, there’s still time for everyone to take advantage of the Sephora Sales Event that ends on 4/14. So be sure to check out all of my recommendations on last week’s post, of what you should take advantage of during this sale that happens only twice a year!
1. Skin Is In: Glazed But Grown-Up
The Easter Sunday Makeup Trend: “Glazed skin” continues to dominate 2025—but it’s less about looking dewy and more about looking healthy. Think softly luminous, plumped-up skin that reflects light without looking greasy.
How to Wear It:
- Start with hydrating skincare helpers. I chose to start with the iconic product from Peach & Lily, their Glass Skin Veil mist, $31, that I sprayed a generous amount over my moisturizer before I applied foundation. It acts like a pre-setting spray/primer plus glow getter! Highly recommend this K beauty product.
- Add in a light-reflecting skin tint or light foundation with a satin finish. I chose my Make Up For Ever HD Skin Hydra Glow foundation, in shade 2N22, $47. This 86% skincare based foundation is inspired by skincare sheet masks and delivers 24-hour hydration. It is ideal for dry, mature, and sensitive skin (not really for the oily skinned gals, sorry!). The featherlight texture melts into skin and looks beautiful.
- Bright under eyes with one of my latest and greatest cheap drugstore finds! I layered the Essence correct & concealer under eye brightener in “light” $5 (looks pale pink) after my foundation, then set it with my go-to cherry blossom Huda Beauty loose powder, $38. Bam! The brightest and smoothest of under eyes!
2. Color on the Eyes—But Softer
The Easter Sunday Makeup Trend: Watercolor lids are huge this spring, with soft washes of lavender, baby blue, mint green, or peach making a comeback. This is the fun part!
How to Wear It:
- Skip shimmer-heavy shadows and opt for sheer satin formulas or matte shadows that blend easily.
- Try this powder blue eyeshadow look paired with navy eyeliner for a modern, spring-ready look that brightens the eyes. I’m using a pale blue-green-gray shade from an old palette, but a similar shade can be found here from Colourpop and I am using the Pixi Beauty silky eye pencil in “blue black,” $12.
- The key was to use just a dusting of the powder blue in the center of the eye, then add any neutral taupe brown/grey shade of shadow along your crease to ground it. I then tightlined just underneath the upper lash line, then added a small outer flick on upper lash line with the navy and smudged.
- Lots of lashes + bright waterline to finish it off. With any colorful eyeshadow such as this, I’d make sure to add this moonstone nude eyeliner, $9, into the lower waterline to make sure the eyes stay super bright! Leave the lower lash line bare of color of eyeshadow but be sure to coat your lashes in mascara with the Maybelline Sky HIgh mascara, $9 which is becoming a favorite of mine.
3. Blush Draping for a Youthful Glow
The Easter Sunday Makeup Trend: “Blush draping” is the technique of sweeping blush up toward the temples to lift and sculpt the face. 2025 is all about monochromatic blush looks—think blush that matches your lip color for a pulled-together vibe.
How to Wear It:
- Choose a true pink – like the iconic Dior Rosy Glow blush, in 001 Pink, $40, that I’m using here. It’s the happiest shade of pink that has a subtle hint of luminosity. Take this blush up high to the sky for a facelift.
- Bonus tip: A touch of blush on the bridge of the nose gives that sun-kissed, happy look, like you’ve just come back from a springtime stroll.
4. Lips: Soft Statement
The Easter Sunday Makeup Trend: A glossy lip balm is the perfect match to the mod eye look. No fuss of heavy lipstick or lip liner needed. This keeps everything balanced and not overdone.
How to Wear It:
- Choose a hydrating lip gloss that gives a sheer tint of color while nourishing lips. If you haven’t picked up a L’Oreal Glow Paradise Gloss in Balm yet, $11, go get one! I chose shade “sublime magenta” to pair with my Dior pink cheeks. Easy breezy coordinating cheeks and lips!
5. Radiant Skin: Glow and Blur
Have you tried the miracle body coverage perfector by Westmore Beauty, $49?? I’m OBSESSED. I struggle with varicose veins on my legs and a little bit of age spots on my chest, and this stuff is truly like rubbing a blurring filter onto your skin. And it does not rub off on clothes! I added a little to my exposed chest here, and you won’t believe your eyes when you try this product – I’m wearing shade “natural radiance.” I applied mine with my Anisa Beauty body brush, $50.
The Rest of My Easter Sunday Outfit Details
Similar Kendra Scott drop earrings here, $80 in the dichroic glass shade that goes with everything! // My Amazon tie shoulder maxi dress, $40, in the green shade is just the cutest – very silky and comfy to the max. // Wearing those clear Target sandals again, $25, because they just go with everything and are mad comfortable because of the memory foam!
