Fall 2025’s Hottest Makeup Trends—Eye Shadow Is Back, Baby!

If there’s one beauty rule for fall 2025, it’s this: Eye shadow is making a comeback, and it’s going big. Forget subtle shimmer or a light wash of neutral—runways were all about bold, dramatic lids. Think matte creams blended up to the brows, metallic golds, dreamy pastels, and smoky moments that scream main character energy. But eyes weren’t the onlystatement-makers. Glossy lips, glowing skin, and rich reds had their time to shine too. Let’s get into the season’s must-try makeup moments:

Red Lips, but Make It Iconic

Tom Ford came through with the ultimate power pout—deep, sultry reds that looked straight-up cinematic. To cop the look, the brand swears by Runway Lip Pencil in 105 Private Client, Lip Color in Scarlet Rouge & Unzip, and Gloss Luxe in Disclosure. Kissable and high fashion? Say less.

Glossy, But Effortless

Diane Buzzetta, creative director of makeup at Tilt Beauty, was all about fresh, healthy, “your-lips-but-better” vibes. She kept it minimal with Lashscape Mascara and Grip Stick Hydrating Lip Treatment for that dewy, barely-there perfection. No overlining, no fuss—just peak effortless beauty.

The Ultimate Smoke Show

At Elie Saab, smoky eyes got a high-fashion remix with a bold, graphic shape blended up to the temples. Basically, this is your sign to go heavy on the smudge brush.

Glazed, But Not Just for Donuts

Moschino said skip the foundation and go all-in on hydration. Models strutted the runway with barely-there makeup and next-level glowy skin. Just grab your favorite skincare, and boom—runway ready.

Blue, but Make It Artsy

Christian Cowan’s watercolor blue eyeshadow (crafted by makeup artist Jaleesa Jaikaran) looked like it belonged in a museum. Soft, dreamy, and straight-up magical.

Pastels Are Happening

Fiorucci made a serious case for pastel violet lids, and honestly? We’re obsessed. Lavender, lilac, baby blue—expect to see these shades everywhere.

Satin Lips Are It

Stella McCartney’s models wore creamy, satin-finish red lips, proving that matte isn’t the only way to serve a bold lip. Glossy, soft, and still powerful.

TL;DR? Eye shadow is back, red lips are forever, and glowing skin is the new full glam. Fall 2025 is all about making a statement—whether it’s a soft wash of blue, a sharp smokey eye, or a juicy red lip. Time to stock up on your faves and start experimenting! 🚀💄
