The start of a new year often brings a wave of fresh trends that promise to influence the way we express ourselves through beauty. As 2025 unfolds, makeup enthusiasts are already embracing trends that highlight both innovation and nostalgia. Here’s a closer look at nine makeup trends that are already making waves this January.

1. Skinimalism Gets an Upgrade

Minimalist beauty continues to dominate, but in 2025, skinimalism is taking a more sophisticated turn. The focus is on healthy, radiant skin with a natural finish. Expect to see more lightweight foundations, tinted moisturizers, and sheer blushes that let the skin breathe while still offering a polished look. 

2. Soft Smokey Eyes

Smokey eyes are getting a softer, more romantic update this year. Rather than the heavy, dark hues of years past, expect to see smudged, pastel-inspired versions with cool-toned shades like lavender and soft pinks. Pair with barely-there lips for a chic, ethereal vibe that’s perfect for day or night.

3. Neon Pops of Color

2025 isn’t shying away from boldness. Neon eyeliner and eyeshadow are making a major comeback, with vibrant hues like electric green, neon orange, and hot pink brightening up the makeup scene. 

4. Retro Glamor

The 90s and early 2000s are making a comeback, and that includes their makeup styles. Think thin brows, frosty lips, and metallic eyeshadow. Glossy finishes are popular, too, especially on lips and eyelids, offering a fresh take on classic looks.

5. Underpainting Technique

Underpainting—where you apply contour and blush before foundation—is gaining popularity in 2025. This technique creates a soft, blended look that enhances your natural bone structure without the heavy lines often associated with contouring. 

6. Glossy Lips

Matte lips are taking a backseat this year as glossy lips return to the spotlight. The emphasis is on hydration and shine. Glossy lips are versatile and can complement any makeup look, from a casual day out to a glam evening look. 

7. Statement Blush

Blush isn’t just a subtle addition to your makeup anymore—it’s now a statement. In 2025, blush is being applied with boldness, often extended toward the temples and even the nose. Expect shades of coral, pink, and berry to dominate, giving the skin a flushed, fresh look.

8. Bold Brows

In 2025, we’re seeing a shift toward more structured brows with defined arches. Eyebrow gels and pencils with fibers are helping to create a fuller, more sculpted appearance. 

9. Clean Beauty

More makeup brands are focusing on sustainability and non-toxic ingredients. Eco-friendly packaging and cruelty-free formulas are at the forefront, making clean beauty a staple in the industry.

These trends are already making a splash in the beauty world, and it’s just January. So, whether you’re experimenting with bold pops of color or embracing the elegance of soft smoky eyes, there’s a trend to suit every style and personality.
