2025 Makeup Trends
1. Minimalist Glam
Skin: The trend will lean toward a dewy, fresh complexion with minimal coverage. Think radiant, almost "no-makeup" makeup with a focus on healthy skin. Products like tinted moisturizers, BB creams, and skin tints will take center stage, giving a luminous, natural finish.
Brows: Brows will be brushed up and defined with a natural, fuller look, avoiding the overly sculpted appearance from previous years.
Eyes: Subtle eye makeup with soft washes of neutral shades and just a touch of eyeliner or definition along the lash line. Soft, fluttery lashes will be a popular choice.
2. Monochromatic Tones
Brides are embracing monochromatic looks, where shades of the same color (pinks, nudes, peaches, etc.) are used across the face for eyes, cheeks, and lips. This trend is ideal for creating a cohesive, elegant appearance while allowing for a more understated look.
3. Glowing Skin
Skin is the main focus for 2025 bridal makeup, with an emphasis on achieving a healthy, glowing complexion. Highlighters will still be in demand, but more subtle, "skin-like" formulas (think liquid or gel highlighters) that create a natural luminosity will dominate.
Cream blushes, bronzers, and highlighters will continue to be popular for a seamless, dewy finish that looks like natural skin at its best.
4. Soft Smokey Eyes
A shift from harsh, heavy smokey eyes, brides in 2025 will opt for soft, diffused smokey looks using muted shades like taupe, peach, or soft bronze. The smokey effect will be more about creating depth and dimension, not a dramatic, dark look.
A pop of shimmer or metallic eyeshadow on the lids can add a hint of glamour without overpowering the natural beauty of the bride.
5. Bold Lips
For brides who want to make a statement, bold lips will make a comeback. Shades of deep red, berry, and even rich orange tones will be seen in bridal makeup for 2025. A matte finish or satin texture can keep the look elegant and sophisticated.
Pairing a bold lip with minimalist eye makeup can create a striking contrast that still feels balanced and fresh.
What if you don’t normally wear much makeup?
Your wedding day is one of the most special moments of your life, and you want to look and feel your best. But what if you don’t normally wear much makeup and aren’t sure where to start? Don’t worry! You don’t have to go all out with a dramatic look if that’s not your style. I have had many brides request a natural or light makeup look. If this is what you are looking for we provide you with that look! I suggest scheduling a trial. Look online at makeup looks before your appointment. We can discuss what you like and don’t like before we get started. Your look should enhance your natural features. We can adjust colors and intensity to match your desires. I would love to work with you on your wedding look!
