Lips and More

Ease over perfection promoted the top makeup artists at the fashion events for the 2025 spring/summer season. And lips are stealing the attention, lately. A plenty of catwalks majored on a statement lip look while keeping the eye makeup minimal. From power pastels to 1990s nostalgics to new dark highlights, all makeup preferences are catered for and are the trends which shape beauty this year.

The 90s’ monochrome

The preferred makeup style of the 1990s of staying with one color for your lips, eyes, cheeks and nails, the so-called ‘monochrome’ one, is experiencing a true refresh in spring/summer 2025. Anything but monotonous as you will see!

Because with Pantone declaring ‘Mocha Mousse’ the 2025 color of the year, a new warm, sophisticated shade enters the stage. And as already celebrated in the fashion shows, it will make the monochrome look for sure a big comeback even in beauty in the next months. 

So following the 90s’ beauty scene where you needed only brown, nude and grey-beige for the perfect makeup, Mocha Mousse you will not regret adding not only to your wardrobe but als into your makeup bag.

Sensai‘s velvet, matte Countouring Lipstick in the reference CL12 Beige Nude  means a luxurious product and delivers this desired result. Originating from Japanese painting techniques, so-called ‘sumi shadow pigments’ transform the color into lip-sculpting hues.

And which eyeshadow may complement your beautifully colored lips best? Definitely one of my favorites for represents Dior‘s Diorshow Mono Couleur in the reference 443 Cashmere.

By this means, in 2025 even the theme ‘latte makeup’, which accompanied us through the last seasons and centres around warm brown tones, is still going strong when leaning into the 90s’ monochrome style.

New pastels

Having seen enough of pink in the last seasons, more delicate shades took over the catwalks. Despite their gentle nature, they attract just as much attention.

One lipstick and color I felt in love immediately is Charlotte Tilbury‘s bestseller K.I.S.S.I.N.G Pillow Talk Fair. This hydrating cool-toned rose lipstick convinces with a satin-shine finish in a beautiful rose-gold lipstick holder.

In its Spring-Summer 2025 Collection, Chanel has launched, beside eye shadows and blushes, two very impressive new fresh pastel shades in their Le Vernis Longwear Nail Color repertoire: tone 195 – Poète, a beautiful peach abricot, and tone 197 – Artiste, a surprising mint green. 

Pastels for spring – not really revolutionary?

Statement lips

Dark lips in summer? As in season spring/summer 2025 there is something to satisfy everyone, even strong colors on the models’ lips have often been seen in the different fashion shows. With a glossy finish a little bit softer for the day, or in matt – long-lasting – simply perfect for not ending summer nights.

In general, we associate with this makeup style dark berry tones of red and purple.

This year a maybe devisive trend conquers the stage: ‘greige’. A more graphic, edgy way to do nude, using cool-toned hues with a grey undertone. Such ashy lips creates MAC‘s new MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick in the shade Folio, a formula that delivers long coverage, nourishes and moisturizes.

Even for this newer makeup trend it’s beautiful to stay in one color family for lips and eyes. A perfect match hereby you achieve with the MAC Eye Shadow references Scene, Coquette and Quarry, all of them muted variations of grey.
