Love Island: All Stars returned to our screens last night and whilst most people were invested the drama, we couldn’t take our eyes of the beauty looks.
Thanks to the show, we’re actually getting an early glimpse at the hair and makeup trends set to take over summer 2025. Get your notepads out…
Bombshell waves
It’s safe to say that bombshell waves will be staple hair style this summer. As Love Island host, Maya Jama, strutted into the South African villa for the first time, all we could focus on was her voluminous extra long locks flowing effortlessly in the breeze.

In an Instagram caption alongside a sun-kissed image of the star, he revealed that he achieved the enviable XL length by using the Maya Jama X Beauty Works 22″ inch double weft clip ins in the shade ‘Brownie Butter.’ To bring some glorious shine to her tresses, he used the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray for frizz-free, silky locks. Finally, he selected the Color Wow Raise the Root Spray to maintain all-day volume and body.
Maya wasn’t the only person to rock this trend, it was a running theme throughout the villa. Islanders Olivia Hawkins, India Reynolds and bombshell Ekin-Su also opted for the head-turning summer hair style for their All Stars debut.
Pixie cuts
Pixie cuts are going nowhere. Kaz Crossley is the only islander rocking a pixie cut – but this makes her stand out that much more. Although their is a deeper reason for her chopping off her locks, this popular hair style has been seen everywhere; from red carpets to fashion magazines. The reality star previously had a chestnut brown pixie cut but dyed her locks ash blonde to match the brighter days of summer.

Tom Warr, Academy and Creative Director at Blue Tit, predicted that the long pixie cut will have staying power this year. He told H! Fashion, “This is a grown out pixie with a short bob feel to it. It’s undone and effortless, it has a loose texture that’s easy to style in lots of different ways.” Think Cara Delevingne in 2017
The return of highlighter
Could highlighter potentially knock blush off it’s top spot this summer? From the looks of the Islanders glam, there is potential. In recent years ‘overblushing’ has been a huge trend. But if we rewind 10 years, there was no blush and an extra shiny highlighter swiped across the high points of your cheeks and nose was the norm. Every girl wanted the viral Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit. We’re noticing the return of highlighter through the islanders makeup choices. Gabby Dawn Allen in particular opted for this glittering sun-kissed look.

Say bye-bye to classic red and deep berry lip colours. This summer is all about the subtle, minimalist lip shades. All of the Islanders entering the villa wore a soft wash of colour over their lips favouring pale pinks, nudes and clear lip looks.

We’re so used to seeing a glossy finish that these choices took us by surprise. Are we slowly transporting back to the height of ‘2016 makeup this summer?’ We will have to wait and see..
