The Trends That Are
BEAUTY 2025:
Changing the Makeup Game
Curated by Beauty Editor Katerina Peftitsi
The new year brings a breath of fresh air into the beauty world. 2025 is not the era of excess — it’s the era of authenticity. Makeup and skincare trends are shifting toward a new philosophy: fewer products, more radiance, and deep respect for individuality.

Natural Beauty with Purpose
The days of heavy contouring are over. The “clean girl” aesthetic is evolving into a more mature and intentional “conscious beauty” — focused on hydration, balanced nutrition, and proper rest. Skin takes center stage, and makeup simply enhances its natural glow.
Skin Glow: The New Foundation
Forget the matte finish — healthy, radiant skin is in. Hybrid products (like foundation with skincare benefits) and illuminating primers are must-haves. Highlighter is applied subtly to where the light naturally hits, adding a 3D freshness.
Soft Touch on the Eyes
The era of sharp lines is giving way to liquid shadows, creamy textures, and gently smudged eyeliner. The gaze remains sensual but never harsh. Pastel colors are back — especially baby blue, peach, and lilac.
Lips with Texture and Volume
Overlined lips are fading out. In their place, we see naturally shaped, hydrated, and glossy lips softly enhanced with tinted lip oils, balms, and butter lipsticks. The viral “popsicle lip” effect — color concentrated in the center and sheer edges — is the new go-to.
The New Blush Effect
Blush is applied higher, sweeping up to the temples — like a kiss from the sun. Cream blushes in peach and berry tones bring freshness and femininity.
Clean Beauty, Clear Conscience
Clean beauty isn’t just a trend — it’s a lifestyle. Consumers now choose cruelty-free, vegan, and sustainable products. Transparency in ingredients and the absence of toxins are non-negotiable.
2025 invites us to redefine beauty — not as a mask, but as a mirror of who we truly are.
A drop of glow, a breath of freshness, and a whole lot of self-love — these are the real beauty essentials of the season.
