As spring unfolds and the season of renewal begins, there’s no better time to refresh not only your wardrobe and wine cellar but your beauty routine, too. At Ideal Wine Company, we believe in celebrating the senses, whether it’s through the velvety pour of a fine vintage or the perfect pop of colour on your lips. In this article, we explore a light-hearted, stylish synergy: pairing spring makeup trends with elegant wines.
1. The Classic Red Lip & Bordeaux
Bold, timeless, and unapologetically chic, the red lip never goes out of style. This season, it’s all about a rich, matte crimson. Much like a classic Bordeaux, a red lip speaks of confidence and sophistication. A well-aged Bordeaux, with its structured tannins and deep blackcurrant and cedar notes, complements the allure of a red pout perfectly. It’s a combination that commands attention.
2. Dewy Skin & Sparkling Rosé
Glowing, hydrated skin is the star of spring 2025’s beauty scene. Think soft highlighters, sheer foundations, and a natural flush. This luminous look pairs effortlessly with a glass of sparkling rosé. Crisp and playful, a rosé brings a refreshing brightness with notes of strawberry and citrus—ideal for sunny afternoons and a beauty look that says ‘fresh and effortless.’
3. Pastel Eyeshadow & Viognier
From lilac to soft peach and mint, pastel eye shades are having their moment. These whimsical tones call for a wine that’s equally floral and intriguing. Enter Viognier. With its delicate bouquet of honeysuckle, peach, and apricot, this white wine mirrors the soft hues and playful energy of pastel palettes. Together, they create a look and experience that’s both feminine and fun.
4. Graphic Liner & Syrah/Shiraz
For those drawn to bold expressions and artistic flair, the graphic eyeliner trend is making waves. It’s dramatic, modern, and makes a statement—much like a powerful Syrah or Shiraz. With bold spice, dark berry undertones, and smoky complexity, this wine mirrors the creativity and confidence of a strong eye look.
5. Barely-There Makeup & Sauvignon Blanc
Minimalist beauty continues to be a mainstay, with sheer coverage, natural brows, and a hint of gloss. It’s all about enhancing, not masking. The perfect pairing? A crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Zesty, clean, and vibrant, with notes of lime, green apple, and herbs, it aligns beautifully with the clean, unfussy aesthetic of barely-there beauty.
Final Sips
Beauty and wine both have the power to express personality, evoke emotion, and create a lasting impression. Whether you’re pouring a glass for a spring gathering or perfecting your new-season makeup look, let the two worlds inspire each other.
Cheers to a season of style and sipping!
