The Best Beauty Trends for 2025 You Should Try Now

Alright, y’all, 2025 is here, and it’s shaking up the beauty scene like never before. From wild new makeup looks to next-level skincare, there’s a lot to play with. So, buckle up, ’cause we’re diving into the beauty trends that’ll have you feeling like you’re living in a futuristic beauty lab. Here’s the scoop—if you’re looking to revamp your routine or just want to try something new, now’s the time.

Clean and Sustainable Beauty

We’ve all seen it coming, and trust me, it’s finally here. Clean beauty isn’t just a buzzword anymore—it’s the new standard. Not gonna lie, I was skeptical when people started saying “eco-friendly beauty,” but after about 50 too many plastic bottles hit my recycling bin, I’m officially a convert. We’re talking refillable products, eco-friendly packaging, and plant-based ingredients that are actually doing the planet a solid.

The best part? It’s no longer a niche market. Even mainstream brands are jumping on the sustainability train. So, you’re not just buying makeup, you’re buying into a greener future.

What to Try Now: Invest in that refillable foundation compact you’ve been eyeing. Seriously, it’s 2025, and no one needs to be throwing away an entire bottle of foundation when you only need the lid replaced.

Personalized Skincare

OK, can we talk about how skincare has gotten personal—like, really personal? I remember the first time I tried a personalized skincare routine (shoutout to SkinCeuticals and their genius idea), and I was like, “Where was this when I was battling breakouts in middle school?” Now, thanks to tech, we have skincare that’s tailored to our unique skin—like, your specific face. No more one-size-fits-all. I swear, my skin has been living its best life since.

With DNA-based skincare becoming a real thing (yeah, you read that right), there’s no excuse for using products that don’t fit. It’s all about customization, baby. My best friend, Susan, got a DNA test done, and now she’s basically a walking advertisement for personalized serums. No lie, her skin looks like it’s been airbrushed.

What to Try Now: Hit up those brands offering personalized skincare kits. They’ll ask about your skin type, goals, and even where you live (because, let’s face it, your environment’s probably affecting your skin, too).

Skinimalism: Less is More

Remember the days of slathering on thick foundation and layers of setting powder? Yeah, me neither. It’s 2025, and we’re done with all that. Skinimalism is here, which is basically a fancy way of saying, “let your skin breathe, fool.” Light coverage, natural finishes, and a focus on skincare rather than makeup—that’s the vibe now.

I’m talking about tinted moisturizers with SPF, a quick dab of highlighter, and maybe some concealer for the occasional breakout (hey, we all have ’em). Honestly, this trend feels like a big win for those of us who’ve been pretending to like full-coverage foundation for years.

What to Try Now: Toss your heavy foundation and grab a light serum or BB cream. You’ll be glowing without that cakey feeling.

Bold Eyewear-Inspired Makeup

Listen, the future is now, and that includes makeup that looks like it’s straight out of a sci-fi movie. Graphic eyeliners, bold lashes, and eye makeup that pops are dominating in 2025. I’m talking angular lines, neon accents, and something a little unexpected. It’s basically like wearing a pair of stylish glasses that your eyes can pull off. Just… with makeup.

I tried this look once (well, I tried several times, honestly, but my first attempt looked more “clown chic” than chic chic). But now, I’ve learned that a little bit of eyeliner magic can totally change your vibe. Who knew?

What to Try Now: Experiment with geometric eyeliner in wild colors like lime green or electric pink. Trust me, it’s harder than it looks, but once you nail it, you’ll be unstoppable.

Neon and Pastel Hair Colors

OK, here’s where it gets fun. Remember how everyone and their mom was doing pastel hair a few years ago? Yeah, well, 2025 is taking it up a notch—think neon pink, electric blue, or even holographic shades. It’s the beauty world’s equivalent of a laser light show, and y’all, it’s wicked fun.

I’ll admit, I dyed my hair purple once (it was supposed to be lavender, but we don’t need to get into that). And despite the few regrets about having to answer questions about my “mystical elf” look at family gatherings, I do remember how fun it was to stand out with a bold hair color. It’s like a statement, y’know?

What to Try Now: Dip your toes into the world of neon or pastel hair. I recommend starting small, maybe some streaks, so you can ease your way into the world of full-on rainbow hair.

The No-Makeup Makeup Look (But Make It Elevated)

Let’s be real: the “no-makeup” makeup look isn’t going anywhere. But 2025’s version? It’s more polished and elevated. Think fresh, dewy skin that somehow looks better than when you wake up (how does that happen?). I’m talking lightweight foundations, super subtle concealers, and a natural flush—basically, “I woke up like this” but in the best way possible.

Trust me, I spent years layering on products until I looked like a different person. But now? I’m all about that subtle glow. (Although, real talk, I still can’t get my brows to cooperate.)

What to Try Now: Grab a tinted moisturizer, a dab of highlighter, and a light lip gloss. You’ll look like you’ve had 12 hours of sleep. Spoiler: You haven’t.

AR Beauty Apps

AR in beauty? Yep. You’ve probably heard about these apps that let you virtually try on makeup, but now they’re doing more than just lipsticks. We’re talking full-blown skincare consultations, makeup tutorials, and the ability to try before you buy. Basically, the future is here, and it’s a lot more fun than I thought.

I downloaded one of these apps on a whim (I was bored and it was 2 a.m.), and now I can’t stop trying on different looks. It’s like an interactive beauty session without leaving your couch. Plus, it lets you know what your skin really looks like without filters. Not gonna lie, it’s a little terrifying at first.

What to Try Now: Try a beauty app that lets you play around with makeup and skincare. You’ll thank me later when you finally know which foundation shade you’re supposed to be wearing.

Health-First Beauty

Here’s a little something I learned the hard way—beauty isn’t just skin-deep. Health-first beauty is the trend of 2025, and it’s all about products that are good for your mind, body, and skin. Think supplements, adaptogens, and wellness teas that give you that inner glow. Trust me, I wish I knew this when I was obsessing over my 2016 skincare routine.

I remember when I tried my first adaptogen skincare product (it had ashwagandha, or something fancy), and for a second I thought I’d just invented a new religion. It did help my skin though. Apparently, it’s all about reducing stress—who knew that would have a direct impact on how you look?

What to Try Now: Start adding supplements like collagen or adaptogen-infused products to your routine. Your skin will thank you (and you might get a zen moment, too).

Fast Forward to 2025

The beauty scene in 2025 is packed with fun, innovation, and personalization. Whether you’re into clean beauty, personalized skincare, or bold, futuristic makeup, there’s something here for everyone. And if you want to take the plunge and try a few trends? Go for it. You’ll probably end up looking 10 years younger while your skin does its best filter-free impression.

In the meantime, I’m over here debating whether I should dye my hair neon yellow or just stick with my usual “natural chaos” look. Stay tuned!
