Top 5 Makeup Trends for 2025

Achieve those magazine-worthy looks with our picked makeup looks.

Using makeup has always been a way to show our personality, hasn’t it? Many of us have our own simple and effective beauty tricks, like wearing a bold red lip at a wedding or using just a little kajal to go out. There is always something new each year and we can expect that in 2025 as well. 2022 is seeing more people looking to makeup that’s easy to use, genuine and lets them say something unique.

It’s time to look at the top 5 makeup trends for 2025 which are catching people’s attention everywhere. Whether you’ve been wearing makeup for years or you are new to it, these trends work well and suit the skin of people in India.

1. A Base With A Skin-Like Effect – “No Makeup” Look:-

    Don’t you love the bright and natural-looking makeup on many celebrities? The goal is to look natural, even with makeup which should leave you looking beautiful. By 2025, women are choosing foundations that feel lighter and are not as cakey. The goal is to have skin that’s moist, light and looks natural but is a little better than your own.

Many people are skipping thick cream foundations and choosing light foundations or tinted moisturisers plus a small amount of concealer. Apply a touch of cream blush to your cheeks, some highlighter to your nose and that’s all you need.

I tried a skin tint in Goa last year and the texture stayed strong even in the heat plus it went on smoothly and lightly.

2. Bright Eyes Adding Graphic Eyeliner:-

    Eyes have always attracted a lot of attention, especially in India. By 2025, colorful and unique eyeliners will be popular. They don’t just do black wing anymore; people are sporting colourful, unusual and even empty spaces around their eyes.

Have a look at those liners that float on water, bright blues and greens or planes with double wings. This style is becoming popular all over Instagram and reels nowadays.

If things appear very tough, that’s normal. Start small. A small dab of coloured liner on your lower lash line can totally change your make-up.

3. People are bringing back the trend of glossy lips:-

    Lipsticks that go on matte were popular at one time, but glossy lipsticks are now trending once more. Fashion experts say big, glossy lips make you look youthful and fresh and they’re very easy to get right. Either with a clear gloss or a fun coloured style, this type of shoes works perfectly for any occasion.

For me, I wasn’t excited about gloss when it came back – we all remember those days when lip gloss would stick to your lips and everything else! The new ones aren’t sticky, keep skin hydrated and feel very comfortable. I used peach-colored gloss last week at a friend’s engagement and many people told me it looked awesome!

4. Wear Blush, But Add Some Punch:-

    Just putting blush on your cheeks is not the only way to use it anymore. This year, everyone is using blush more expressively – putting it on their cheeks, nose and in some cases up by the temples. This makeup makes people look as if they have some excitement or they have been out in the sun recently.

Each skin tone looks different with peach, rose or coral. Cream or liquid blushes let you get that desired soft, well-blended effect. Indian skin looks most beautiful and healthy when wearing lip colors in this trend.

As an extra hint, do a little swipe of blush on your eyelids too for a softly coordinated eye. It is hard to notice at first, but it is truly eye-catching.

5. Skincare-Infused Makeup:-

    It’s undeniable that everyone wants makeup that is good for our skin as well as nice to apply. That trend is especially popular this year. Skincare substances such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and niacinamide are showing up in the makeup of various brands.

As a result, your skin will get some moisture from your foundation and your lipstick can moisturize your lips. The outcome is good for everyone.

This is wonderful news for those who don’t like using lots of products. I switched to serum foundation – it is light on my skin and feels like I am nourishing it.

Final Thoughts

    What is the top advantage of makeup in 2025? There is no set standard. You’ll find nail art you like, no matter if you like simple styles or love to go bold. The focus is on loving your natural self and trying new things just for fun.

Makeup is something you do for yourself. Try not to feel you must join in with every trend. Do what interests you and avoid what doesn’t. You want to feel at ease and proud about your body.
