Future-Proof Your Beauty Business with Pinterest Predicts

By Frances Brown

“What’s trending?” is the eternal question in the social media landscape. Viral audios, dance challenges, and slick transition effects dominate platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
But let’s be honest: what’s fresh and exciting today can feel outdated tomorrow. Trends burn out fast, leaving beauty business owners scrambling to keep up. Use a sound a week too late, and it could come across as stale or irrelevant.

The Draining World of Trends 

Enter Pinterest—a game-changer for small businesses like yours. Unlike other platforms, Pinterest doesn’t focus on fleeting trends. Instead, it’s where users go to plan and visualise their futures, whether it’s for a wedding look, a skincare routine, or next season’s nail art.

It’s also one of the most positive online spaces—free from trolling and brimming with creativity and inspiration. That positivity pays off, too: one in five users are more likely to buy from brands they discover on Pinterest. 

What Is Pinterest Predicts? 

Pinterest Predicts is Pinterest’s annual report spotlighting what’s set to trend in the coming year. Based on billions of searches, it identifies emerging themes, ideas, and aesthetics.

What sets Pinterest Predicts apart? It’s forward-looking. Instead of reporting on what’s popular now, it reveals what’s likely to trend next month, next quarter, or even next year.

For beauty businesses, this is a golden opportunity. Unlike trends on other platforms that fizzle out quickly, Pinterest trends often last months—or even years. Your content has a much longer lifespan, giving you a better return on your marketing efforts.

Why Pinterest Trends Matter for Your Beauty Business

Pinterest Predicts lets you tap into what your clients will want before they even know it themselves. By aligning your beauty business with these trends, you can:

  • Position yourself as a thought leader in your niche.

  • Create evergreen content that works hard over time.

  • Reach clients at the inspiration stage of their buyer journey.

So, what’s trending for 2025? Let’s dive into the beauty-focused Pinterest trends you can leverage.

 


 

Pinterest Predicts 2025: Top Beauty Trends to Watch

Aura Beauty

Think energy-inspired aesthetics: crystal-infused skincare, aura-themed nail art, and glowing makeup palettes designed to enhance inner wellness.

Sea Witchery

Oceanic tones and mythical vibes dominate this trend. Bold, underwater-inspired eyeshadow palettes and sea-themed nail art will take centre stage.

Cherry Coded

Playful yet elegant, this trend highlights cherry reds in lipsticks, blushes, and manicures. A versatile choice for salon campaigns.

Dolled Up

Nostalgic, doll-like beauty is making a comeback. Expect fluttery lashes, rosy cheeks, and hyper-feminine makeup looks.

Goddess Complex

Ethereal beauty meets golden tones. Radiant skincare and goddess-inspired makeup will shine in 2025.

 


 

10 Pinterest Tips for Beauty Businesses

  1. Create Tutorials: Post step-by-step guides for makeup looks, skincare routines, or nail art transformations.

  10.  Include Clear CTAs: Add calls to action like “Book Your Appointment,” “Shop Now,” or “Watch the Tutorial.”
