As the clock strikes midnight and we step into 2025, it’s time to refresh your makeup routine and embrace the bold and innovative beauty trends this year has to offer. Whether you’re heading to a glamorous party or celebrating with a quiet gathering, your makeup can help you make a statement.
This guide covers the top 10 makeup art ideas for 2025, ranging from glossy metallics to the soft revival of blush draping. With expert tips and product recommendations from Brittany Cosmetics, these trends will inspire you to create head-turning looks for every celebration.
1. Siren Eyes for the Bold
The siren eyes trend redefines the classic cat-eye, introducing sharp, extended wings that exude confidence and allure. This dramatic style can be enhanced with smudged lower lashes for added depth and intensity.
How to Achieve It:
Use a precision eyeliner to craft clean, defined lines. Pair this striking eye look with Brittany Cosmetics' "Power Plumping Bold 'N' Bright" for high-gloss lips that perfectly balance the boldness of the eyes.
2. Glossy Lips That Shine Bright
Matte finishes are taking a back seat as glossy lips make their triumphant return. This trend focuses on hydration and a high-shine finish, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance. Clear glosses or subtly tinted options that catch the light are your best allies.
Product to Try:
The Brittany Cosmetics "Sparkle Lips" collection is a must-have. Shades like "Angel" and "Holographic" not only provide a radiant shine but also keep your lips moisturised throughout the night.
3. Lilac Dreams
Pastel hues continue to dominate the eyeshadow scene, with lilac emerging as a favourite for its soft, universally flattering appeal. This versatile shade adds a touch of elegance to any look.
How to Wear It:
Sweep a wash of lilac across your lids, pairing it with mascara for a subtle finish or winged eyeliner for a more dramatic effect. Complete the look with Brittany Cosmetics' "Its Sheer" Sparkle Lips for a harmonious touch.
4. Blush Draping Revival
Blush draping, a technique from the 80s, is making a strong comeback in 2025. This method involves sweeping blush from the apples of your cheeks to your temples, creating a sculpted yet soft look. Coral and peach tones are particularly on-trend this year.
Get the Look:
Opt for Brittany Cosmetics' "Luscious Lips Beirut" for a peachy tint that seamlessly ties together your lip and cheek makeup.
5. Futuristic Metallics
Channel futuristic vibes with metallic accents on your eyes, lips, or even cheekbones. Shimmery shades of silver, bronze, and gold are staples for achieving a party-ready, glamorous look.
Your Go-To Product:
While Brittany Cosmetics is known for its lip products, high-shine glosses like "Sparkling" and "Exquisite" can double as metallic highlights for your eyelids. Apply sparingly for a subtle yet striking effect.
6. The Return of Natural Brows
Say goodbye to overly sculpted brows and hello to fluffy, natural arches. This trend celebrates the beauty of embracing your natural brow texture with minimal effort.
How to Master It:
Use a clear or tinted brow gel to shape and hold your brows in place. Pair this understated brow look with Brittany Cosmetics' "Vinus" Sparkle Lips for a simple yet chic finish.
7. Chocolate Hues for the Lips
Deep, rich chocolate shades are the perfect way to bring warmth and sophistication to your look, especially during the colder months. This trend works wonderfully for both casual outings and formal evening events.
Product Match:
Create your own custom chocolate-inspired hue by layering Brittany Cosmetics' "Beige" Sparkle Lips over a darker lip liner.
8. Dewy, Fresh Skin
A radiant, dewy complexion continues to be a major focus in 2025. This trend is all about achieving a healthy glow that enhances your natural beauty.
Pro Tip:
Start with a hydrating primer and a light-reflecting foundation for a luminous base. Pair your fresh skin look with Brittany Cosmetics' "Painted Lady" Lip Gloss for a soft, rosy finish that complements your glowing complexion.
9. Glitter and Sparkle
Bring a touch of festive magic to your makeup with glitter and sparkle. From shimmering eyelids to glittery lips and even sparkly eyeliner, this trend is perfect for embracing the joy of New Year celebrations.
Shine Bright with:
Brittany Cosmetics' "Holographic" Sparkle Lips is the ideal choice for this trend. Wear it solo for a dazzling effect or layer it over another lip colour for added dimension.
10. Graphic Liner Art
Unleash your creativity with bold graphic eyeliner designs. This trend encourages you to experiment with abstract shapes, double wings, and intricate patterns, making your eyes the focal point of your look.
Perfect the Look:
Use fine-tipped liquid eyeliner to craft precise and intricate designs. Keep the focus on your eyes by pairing this look with a subtle, glossy lip, such as Brittany Cosmetics' "Georgia Peach."
