Makeup is ever-evolving — new seasons bring new trends, techniques, and fresh inspiration. As we step into 2025, Indian women are embracing looks that balance timeless beauty with modern twists. From glass skin to bold pops of color, here’s your ultimate guide to the hottest makeup trends you must try this year.
At Ritika Verma Makeup Artistry, we believe makeup should highlight your unique features, not mask them. Let’s dive into what’s trending and how you can make these looks your own.
🌟 1️⃣ Glass Skin & Dewy Finish
Say goodbye to matte-heavy makeup! In 2025, it’s all about radiant, hydrated skin that glows from within. Glass skin — a trend borrowed from Korean beauty — is here to stay. Invest in hydrating primers, illuminating foundations, and light-reflecting highlighters.
Pro Tip: Prep your skin with a good serum and moisturizer. Blend cream highlighters on cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose for that natural glow.
🌈 2️⃣ Playful Pastel Eyes
Pastels are making a major comeback. Mint green, lavender, baby blue — soft washes of color on your eyelids add a fresh, youthful touch. Pair pastel eyes with nude lips to keep the focus on your eyes.
Try: A pastel eyeliner on your lower lash line for a pop of fun without going OTT.
💋 3️⃣ Bold, Juicy Lips
Bold lips never go out of style — but 2025 is about juicy, hydrating, statement lips. Glossy finishes, bright reds, deep berries, and coral tones are trending. Brides are also choosing bold lips for sangeet and reception looks.
MUA Secret: Exfoliate lips and use a hydrating lip mask before application for that plump, smooth effect.
🎨 4️⃣ Graphic Eyeliner
Classic black liner gets an upgrade with playful shapes, negative space, and colored wings. Think double flicks, geometric lines, or vibrant teal liners for a night out.
For Beginners: Try subtle colored wings with your classic cat-eye for a safe but trendy look.
🧚 5️⃣ Monochromatic Makeup
Match your eyes, lips, and cheeks with the same hue family — warm peach, rosy pink, or soft brown. Monochrome looks are simple yet stunning for day events, casual parties, or even Zoom calls.
Pro Hack: Use a creamy tint that works as blush, lip color, and even as a wash on lids.
✨ 6️⃣ Shimmer & Metallic Accents
Festivals and weddings will always call for a bit of sparkle. Metallic shadows in gold, bronze, or silver can instantly elevate your look. A dab of glitter on the inner corners or a foil shadow on the lid makes your eyes pop.
Do: Use fine shimmer for an elegant glow instead of chunky glitter.
💁 7️⃣ Natural, Fluffy Brows
2025 is steering clear of overdrawn, blocky brows. Natural, brushed-up brows that frame your face beautifully are in. Brow gels and micro-feathering are your best friends.
Tip: Get your brows shaped by a pro and use a tinted brow gel to keep them in place.
