Future Nostalgia: A Bold Color Story

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
