INTELLIGENT GLOW COMPLEXION: NEW GENERATION SKIN SCULPTING

In 2025, the complexion is no longer matte and fixed. Luminous, sculpted and ultra-hydrated , it becomes the signature of a makeup that enhances without overloading.

KEY TRENDS:

• Hybrid skincare + makeup bases : no more plaster foundation, make way for melted textures that let the skin breathe.

• “Glass Contouring” : forget about overly pronounced shadows, contouring becomes subtle, playing with creamy textures and points of light.

• The “Healthy Skin” effect : direct inspiration from Dior and Balmain backstage makeup, with ultra-fresh skin and a strategic natural glow.

EYES: THE BIG RETURN OF COLOR BLOCK AND EXPERIMENTAL LINERS

In 2025, eyelids become an artistic playground . Exit neutral tones! Make way for vibrant colors and graphic lines.

WHAT’S WORKING:

• The colored reverse liner : applied under the eye for a lifting effect (seen on Bella Hadid and Rihanna).

• Holographic eyeshadows : guaranteed futuristic effect, with eyeshadows that change shade depending on the light.

• The “Neon Blush” : the blush rises to the temples in a bold gradient.

LIPS: GOODBYE MATTE, HELLO ULTRA-VINYL GLOSS

After several years of matte lipstick dominance, gloss is making a resounding comeback . Bolder, more intense, more luminous.

WHAT'S NEW:

• “Lip Strobing” : pearly reflections that give an instant volume effect.

• The “Gloss Booster” : a mirror-effect finish for lips that are fuller than ever.

• The 90s lip pencil revisited : a marked outline, combined with caramel or rosewood shades.

TECHNOLOGY & MAKEUP: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TAKES CONTROL

2025 marks the entry of makeup into a high-tech dimension .

INNOVATIONS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING:

• AI apps to test your makeup in augmented reality before application.

• Smart eyeshadows that change color based on body temperature.

• Connected mirrors that analyze your skin and recommend the right products.
