Summer 2025 is all about stepping away from neutrals and stepping into vivid, playful color. The season’s standout look, called “Future Nostalgia,” blends retro-inspired shades with a modern twist: think soft pastels reimagined with futuristic metallic finishes and daring pigment intensity. Using vegan, flower-extract formulas from Rachel Couture, you can channel this trend into a look that’s creative, wearable, and skin-loving.
The Vibe Behind “Future Nostalgia”
This trend draws on two worlds at once—dreamy, vintage colors and forward-thinking textures. It’s about nostalgia meeting innovation: buttery yellows, lilac lids, pistachio greens, and coral lips, all with a high-impact, editorial polish.
Shades to watch this season:
- Soft Yellow Washes – a cheerful lid color that’s subtle yet bold
- Berry Glow – diffused berry tones across lips or cheeks
- Pastel Green – pistachio lids for a fresh twist
- Light Lilac – whimsical purple eyeliner or shadow
- Vibrant Coral – punchy lips that anchor the look
