Being a beauty writer, I constantly have my finger on the beauty pulse and looking out for the next beauty trend. There's always a new product, style, or treatment to explore. These trends are poised to be the next big thing so need to be on your radar.

Stay ahead of the beauty curve this spring and summer with these five new beauty trends - they’re going to be everywhere. I’ve found the best luxury and affordable products so you can update your beauty look no matter what your budget is. 

Butter skin 

The butter skin trend is going to be big this season and next. The look is all about silky smooth ‘butter’ like skin but not too shiny like the glass skin trend. To get this look you need to use sumptuous hydrated products that will help plum your skin. 

Luxury - TATCHA The Dewy Cream £69 

Budget - Laneige  Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask £23.95

Cushion Lips

This trend focuses on achieving full, plump lips with a soft, natural lip colour. Use a lip tint and overline your lips with a darker lipliner then slather on the plumping lip gloss. Mwah! 

Luxury - Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm £27

Budget - Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Gloss £10.99 

Faux-Flutter lashes 

The false-lash look is back and this time the fluffier, the better! The best way to make your eyes look bigger is to add false lashes to the end of your lash line. This will give you that perfect Bambi eyed look. 

Luxury - Tatti Lashes Invisi-Lash Kit £21.95

Budget - Eylure Individuals £6

Cherry Pop 

No it’s not the drink - although it's still as tasty. The cherry pop beauty trend is all about adding a ‘pop’ of cherry colour to your makeup routine. Add the hot spring/summer shade to your lips, cheeks and lips for the ultimate sunkissed glow. 

Luxury - Merit Flush Balm Cheek Color (Rouge) £26 

Budget - Collection Cheek & Lip Stain £3.49

'Lived in’ Liner 

It’s the '90s Kate Moss ‘I just woke up like this’ look. Another trend revived from the past but with a fresh new twist. This time round instead of wearing the indie-sleaze black eyeliner opt for a metallic shade like gold to update your whole look. Keep the rest of your makeup look natural and thank me later - you will get so many compliments. 

Luxury - Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Liner Eyeliner (Gold Lamé) £32 

Budget - KIKO Milano Lasting Precision Eyeliner (Pure Gold) £6.29
