Do you ever look at trending makeup looks and wonder, “Where did this begin?” Well, we did, too! As Beauty Editors we’re obsessed with makeup (maybe a bit too much). Knowing what’s trending at the moment is cool, but it is just never enough. We want to know what will take over our feeds way before it goes viral so we can stay ahead of the curve.
Putting our research girlie caps on in this pursuit, we got into serious boss-girl mode and dived deep to find the top makeup trends of 2025. Trust us, some weather forecasts can go wrong, but not our TrendCast. Scroll on to find out all the upcoming beauty trends that we love and you should definitely not miss out on.
High Shine Lips
Move on glass skin, it’s time for mirror-like lips to get the limelight. Think glossy, luscious, and lacquered lips that make an instant statement. The High-Shine Lips trend means thicc lip glosses, oils, and glazes need to be on your wishlist, along with sleeping masks and balms to keep them hydrated and feeling smooth.
Lit-From-Within Makeup
When Ananya Panday chanted her affirmation “I'm here to slay, seize the day,” in Call Me Bae (2024), we all felt it and the Lit-From-Within Makeup trend is all about that – feeling like the goddess you are within. It’s all about getting that natural, radiating glow with super lightweight skin tints, moisturisers, and strobe creams
Hybrid Skincare
Getting the best of both worlds is always a great deal and when you get a chance to look great while nourishing your skin, you have to take it up. Hybrid Skincare products are supercharged potions that make your routines uncomplicated. Think hybrid cleansers, moisturising sunscreens, and non-sticky brightening serums that leave your skin gleaming.
Layered Hydration
The quest to have dewy. moisturised skin is not an easy one, but one we must embark on. While there’s only so much water you can chug in a day, what you can do is focus on Layered Hydration to get plump, youthful skin that screams – “Unbothered. Moisturised. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.” All you need is a cocktail of face wash, toner, and cream or gel moisturisers depending on your skin type.
Hair Growth Formulas
Growing up watching Bollywood actors with long, luscious hair flowing with the wind really set us up with unrealistic expectations. But hey, when can we not get exactly what we want? With Hair Growth Formulas rising in popularity, now is your chance to use concentrated serums and growth treatments to improve your hair density and get that envious mane.
Scented Bodycare
Make your weekly everything shower routine a delight to the senses with Scented Bodycare that will leave you feeling refreshed and smelling like a dream. The one thing that will never go out of vogue? Self-care, of course. Winding down with luxurious serums, moisturising shower gels, and exfoliating body polishes is all you need to reset after hectic work weeks.
