Best Beauty Looks of the Week

Vogue’s weekly beauty curation, Beauty Marks, has highlighted a shift toward high-definition glam and high-gloss finishes for the period ending April 25, 2026. The feature, authored by Anna Cafolla, emphasizes a transition toward aesthetics that embrace the glow of the upcoming summer season.

A central focus of the week’s trends was the collaboration between Tyla and Zara Larsson for the She Did It Again project. Both artists utilized sparkly, high-definition makeup to define their looks. Tyla’s appearance featured bronzed beauty created by makeup artist Jimmy Stam and voluminous hair styled by Yusef.

Zara Larsson’s aesthetic, described as Midnight Sun glam and executed by Sophia Sinot, leaned into otherworldly maximalism. The look included a sharp yellow-toned eye, XXL blush, and a glossed, knife-sharp lip. Larsson also wore a sparkling, sun-shaped chest decal.

High-Gloss Hair and Structural Shifts

Sleek, reflective hair was a recurring theme across several high-profile appearances. Ashley Graham wore glossy locks styled by Ricky Fraser, paired with skin-forward glam and a suede-like lip by Patrick Ta. Similarly, Rayna Vallandingham, star of Street Fighter, appeared at CinemaCon with a mirror-shiny ponytail by Kiley Fitzgerald and smoky glam by Allan Avendaño.

The curation also noted a move toward shorter hairstyles, specifically noting that actress Jessica Chastain has joined team bob with a new cut by Renato Campora.

Other notable hair and makeup combinations included Zoey Deutch at CinemaCon, who received the Vanguard Award. Deutch wore a delicately waved lob styled by Bridget Brager and a blurred brown-nude lip created by Shelby Smith.

Artistic Nail Trends and Ethereal Aesthetics

The week’s nail art focused on both avant-garde materials and thematic tributes. Nail artist Mei produced an icy chrome look featuring silver studded nails, while San Sung Kim created three-dimensional nail art as a tribute to Earth Day.

In the realm of ethereal beauty, musician Holly Humberstone adopted a look inspired by her song Beauty Pageant. Her makeup, created by Robert Rumsey, featured high-cheeked blush and violet eyeshadow tones, complemented by long locks styled by Clayton Hawkins.

Uma Jammeh wore what was described as dolly glam created by Chelsea Uchenna, characterized by feathery lashes.

Vogue’s Beauty Marks serves as a weekly curation of celebrity beauty, drawing from editors’ social media feeds and major red carpet events. The series highlights the work of the makeup artists, hairstylists, and nail artists responsible for shaping current pop culture trends.
