Okay, so we’ve done Hot Girl Summer, Clean Girl Summer, and even the Tomato Girl Summer. But 2025? She's giving Guava Girl—and I’m so here for it. What is the trend all about, you ask? Here's the long story short version - skin that looks like it’s been kissed by sun-drenched fruit, glossy lips, flushed cheeks, and a wardrobe dipped in juicy sorbets and tropical warmth.
I first stumbled upon this aesthetic on my explore page and suddenly all I wanted to do was bathe in peach-pink tones and slick my hair into a clean bun. It’s girly but grown, minimal but radiant, and the best part? It’s giving effortless vacation mode even if you’re just going to Trader Joe’s.
Let’s break it down.
What is the Guava Girl aesthetic?
The term “Guava Girl” began bubbling up in June 2025, and now it’s practically the scent of the season. I first spotted it on Pinterest — pastel pinks, lush tropical greens, and soft makeup looks that scream “I’m on vacation,” even if you’re just running to Target in sweats. And then suddenly, guava everything started showing up in my feed. Google Trends confirmed what I already knew — we’ve entered a new era.
So what is Guava Girl Summer, really?
It’s a mood. A tropical-meets-playful aesthetic rooted in the juicy pinks and greens of guava. Think fruity skincare, monochromatic blush tones, glowy skin, and sundresses that dance with every breeze. It's that sweet spot between polished and effortless — like you're glowing from within and low-key smell like a beach cocktail.
The Guava Girl isn’t trying too hard. She’s just naturally glowing. Think soft-focus skin, warm coral tones, and makeup that looks like skin but better. She isn’t caked in contour or covered in shimmer, but she looks like she drinks her green juice and exfoliates regularly.
The look is basically your vacation face but make it everyday glam. Here’s what makes the look pop:
Glowy, hydrated base – think skin that looks like it drinks 2 liters of coconut water a day.
Cream blush in pinky-coral or guava tones applied generously to cheeks.
Glossy lips in fruity, juicy finishes
Shimmer on the lids — peachy pink or coral tones, blended with just a touch of highlighter in the inner corners.
Mascara and brows are kept natural for balance.
Finish it off with mermaid waves or messy buns, because the hair should look like you tried, but not too hard.
Pro Tip: Keep your blush and eyeshadow within the same guava color family to nail the monochromatic vibe.
It’s not just makeup either—it’s a whole mood: skincare-forward beauty, subtle dewy glam, breezy fashion, and a touch of tropical femininity.
Products That Scream Guava Girl
Glowy skin. Light bronzer. Peachy-pink blush. Matching lip gloss. Just a kiss of guava-hued shadow if you’re going for the full look. A light mascara swipe. And you can’t go wrong with a tousled beachy wave or mermaid curl to complete the vibe. It’s monochromatic but not boring — you're painting with fruit-inspired tones that make your skin come alive.

How It’s Inspiring Summer Fashion
This trend isn’t just about makeup — it’s seeping into our closets too. Think breezy silhouettes, flowy fabrics, and warm tropical tones. Guava-inspired fashion is playful and sun-drenched, but still wearable beyond the beach.
Here’s how Guava Girl Summer is dressing:
Shades of guava: Think coral, peachy pinks, and soft lime green — the kind that flatters every skin tone and makes your tan pop.
Dresses with movement — ruffles, asymmetrical hems, and strappy backs.
Co-ord sets in tropical tones — both bold and pastel versions work.
Accessorizing with fruit-inspired elements — cherry or guava earrings, citrus-printed scarves, raffia bags, and beachy bangles.
Platform sandals or woven espadrilles that keep the look grounded (literally) while still giving island girl energy.
It’s not so much about being matchy with the guava color — it’s about the mood: flirty, effortless, slightly nostalgic, and always fun.
Guava-Inspired Nails Are the Cutest Summer Detail
Let’s talk nails — because what’s a beauty trend without a matching mani to seal the deal? Guava girl nails are the perfect way to add a juicy pop of fun to your look without going over the top. Think baby greens, pinky corals, and soft mango hues that instantly give vacation energy.
Here are some Guava Girl-approved nail inspo ideas:
Matte green base with soft pink accents (like the guava skin with pulp peeking through).
Cat-eye nails in soft guava pink.
Seed dotting nail art to mimic the fruit’s inside.
Peachy pink monochrome for minimalists.
Chrome pink + lime green French tips for the maximalist guava queen.
Essie Gel Couture - Woven At Heart
Terra Nail Polish - No. 24 Sage Green
Cirque Colors - Peach Jelly
Lakur London Town - Pressed Petals
Whatever you choose, the goal is to look like you just dipped your fingers in summer.
Scent Like Summer, Too
Perfume is a major part of this aesthetic. Think tropical, juicy, airy — like your favorite body mist from middle school, but all grown up.
Here are a few fruity-floral perfumes and body care staples to complete the look:
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68 – floral, juicy, and slightly tropical with dragonfruit and pink guava notes.
Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco – creamy coconut and florals, but not cloying.
Glossier You – for that minimalist girl who still wants to smell like skin, sun, and something soft.
Tree Hut Guava Sorbet Scrub – exfoliating and gives your shower a whole new personality.
Layering these with a body lotion in a matching tropical scent will keep the vibes going long after golden hour.
Guava Girl is the 2025 summer vibe we didn’t know we needed. She’s soft, confident, naturally glowy, and lives in her dewy lane. She doesn’t overdo it—she enhances what’s already there. And she probably has a standing Sunday brunch reservation.
Love,
Rae
