As we enter another year, it's time to shed light on the glam that follows, quite literally, as fashion and beauty content creators share their views on the make-up trends that might dominate the coming year. Whether you are planning to deck up for your office or want a casual look for an outing, here are some recommendations that might elevate your beauty game in 2025. Let's get it started!
As 2024 was a year of natural and raw make-up, soft glam with a touch of drama—think neutral bases with pops of metallic or holographic accents are about to shine in 2025. "Skincare-infused makeup will also dominate, as people have started prioritising products that deliver both beauty and benefits, says fashion and beauty content creator Sakshi Jain.
What Make-up Styles and Shades Will Work in 2025?
According to beauty influencer Aleena Rehman, in 2025, skin-loving beauty and hybrid makeup products will dominate. Talking particularly out of her niche in cosmic and celestial glam, eye experimentation with metallics, holographic shades, and jewel tones will trend. To give a touch of colour, neutral tones like taupe and mocha will pair beautifully with vibrant accents like teal or lilac. Soft metallics will elevate everyday looks, while pastel blushes and glossy lips will keep the vibe fresh and youthful.
How to Use Pantone Colour of the Year - Mocha Mousse for Make-up?
Sakshi will incorporate Mocha Mousse as a versatile base shade for eyeshadow, contouring, and even a muted matte lip for chic, everyday looks. And she advises people to blend it with lighter shades for a soft, ombré effect or pair it with metallics for a bold statement. "It’s a beautifully neutral tone that complements all skin tones," adds the creator.
