This year, the beauty scene is set for some exciting revivals and fresh trends, with makeup artists predicting several key styles to watch for. From radiant skin to bold lip colors, 2025 is shaping up to be vibrant and expressive.
With glowing looks dominating recent seasons, highlighters are making a strong comeback. Makeup artists suggest focusing on skin cleansing and proper skincare to achieve this radiant complexion. Instead of heavy powders, they recommend lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizers. To create the sought-after glow, it’s advised to apply liquid or cream highlighters on the high points of the face—think cheekbones, the brow bone, and the bridge of the nose. Finish the look with just the right touch of blush for a healthy color on those cheeks, as noted by the Telegraph.
When spring arrives, so does the return of soft, feminine aesthetics. The Telegraph points out, "a soft, feminine look never goes out of style," especially with spring’s prevalence of pink shades. A creamy pink or peach blush topped with translucent powder can give your cheeks the perfect longevity. Subtle layers can be added to create depth and varying intensity on the cheeks, across the nose and forehead for extra vibrancy.
Meanwhile, the revival of retro red lips is another highlight. After years dominated by nudity, bold lip colors are re-emerging, with makeup artists predicting dark berry shades and classic reds to be all the rage. These bold choices promise elevation for every look, adding drama and confidence.
According to experts, the monochromatic look will also trend this year. It’s all about simplicity—using one color across the eyes, lips, and cheeks. This could vary from earthy tones to bold reds. The idea is to create harmony throughout your makeup, merging shades seamlessly.
Spring and summer runway trends will highlight bright colors too, particularly for eye makeup. Using vibrant eyeshadows or eyeliners—think cobalt greens or electric blues—will soon become staples to enliven the spring palette. If highlighting your cheekbones is the focus, opt for pops of strawberry pink for those cheeks instead.
Adding to the emphasis on natural beauty, there’s also been increasing popularity for more casual, natural-looking eyebrows. The mantra “less is more” holds true here, as brow styles are shifting—put away the tweezers and embrace the natural volume with clear brow gel.
Moving from makeup to fashion, London has been on the forefront of innovation as the 2025 fall trends were unveiled. London Fashion Week celebrated the artistic expression of beauty through various collections, reflecting the city’s unique vibe. With designers like Dilara Findikoğlu showcasing sensual designs adorned with tattoos, the runway displayed the power of female liberation through remarkable, bold styles.
Jawara Alleyne’s collection took the audience through the innovative links between fashion and architecture with his cut-up and spliced fabric designs. Meanwhile, DiPetsa reminded us to embrace flowing, cascading fabrics, embodying freedom of movement and celebrating the human form.
Another pivotal theme emerged this season: the return of stripes. Fashion is undergoing a print renaissance, shaking off the period of quiet luxury. Stripes, of all sizes and scales, have claimed the spotlight, layered creatively.
Shaggy fur also makes waves as one of this season's more provocative trends, introducing chaotic energy to runways with textures and volumes. The popularity of this vibrant material indicates how far fashion is ready to push boundaries this year.
Equally, the classic cropped double-breasted coat is being reimagined, with new lengths hitting at the waist, offering fresh takes on traditional silhouettes. And for those fond of layering, lace is reemerging as well, integrating itself thoughtfully as designers showcase lingerie-inspired pieces.
London's Fall 2025 accessory trends are not to be missed, either. Glamorous gloves of varying lengths and textures made their mark, elevates any outfit and adding elements of sophistication and allure.
With the innovative spirit of the London runways and the colorful predictions from beauty experts, 2025 is poised to be the year where self-expression, creativity, and bold beauty dominate every look, encouraging all to embrace and enjoy themselves through makeup and fashion.
