Let’s dive into the trends that are set to take over bridal beauty in 2025, as anticipated by some of the best names in the business!
After years in the bridal beauty world, I’ve seen trends come and go. For 2025, I’m excited to bring you a look that’s authentic, modern, and timeless. Here’s what’s going to make you shine on your big day:
- Second-Skin Base
This year, it’s all about skin that looks fresh, glowing, and real. Lightweight, hydrating foundations create a natural look that feels comfortable all day.
Pro Tip: Start with hydrating serums, skip heavy powders, and keep it dewy.
- Blush Draping
Blush isn’t just for the cheeks, draping it along the cheekbones and up toward the temples creates a lifted, sculpted look that’s soft and romantic.
Kajol’s Tip: Use cream or liquid blush for a seamless, dreamy finish.
- Tinted Lips with Gloss
Soft, tinted lips with a hint of gloss bring a fresh, youthful vibe. Tinted balms or sheer lipsticks offer subtle color that’s both comfortable and luxe.
Pro Tip: Look for nourishing formulas for soft, glowy lips.
- Soft Smokey Eyes
Subtle, diffused smokey eyes in taupe, bronze, or soft grey add depth without overwhelming. Kajol’s Insight: Add shimmer to inner corners for a refined sparkle.
- Natural, Fluffy Brows
In 2025, we’re keeping brows soft and natural. Light strokes and tinted gels create a balanced look that highlights your eyes.
Brow Tip: Defined yet natural brows flatter from all angles.
Achieving a “healthy skin” look with a reflective glow is all about enhancing your natural beauty with radiant skincare and minimal makeup. Here’s how to perfect it!
- Prep for Radiance
Start with a hydrating serum and lightweight moisturizer to plump the skin. Add a dewy-finish sunscreen for protection and a natural glow. Opt for a sheer foundation or skin tint to let your natural texture shine through, and use concealer only where needed for a fresh, flawless base.
- Glow From Within
Tap a cream highlighter onto the cheekbones, brow bones, and nose for a soft, dewy finish. Favorites include the Chanel Multi-Use Glow Stick and Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand.
- Blush for Lift
Apply cream blush slightly above the apples of your cheeks, blending upward for a lifted, radiant effect.
- Subtle Kitty Liner
Create a small flick at the outer corners of the eyes for a delicate “kitty liner” effect that elongates without overpowering. Finish with a light coat of mascara.
- Velvet Veil Glam is all about achieving an impeccably refined, soft-focus finish that looks like a veil of perfection over the skin. This technique prioritizes ultra-blended application, ensuring every product seamlessly melds with the skin for a natural yet polished effect. It incorporates second skin techniques, where foundation, concealer, and contour are layered so subtly that they appear undetectable.
In 2025, brides seek personalized makeup styles that reflect their personality and bring out their individuality.
- Radiant, hydrated skin is going to be the ultimate goal.
- Dewy soft skin with defined eyes or vibrant lips will be in.
- Neutral face and shimmer on the lids paired with winged or smudged eyeliner, and highlighters with a wet-look effect on cheekbones & temples are expected to dominate in 2025.
This year’s makeup trend beautifully embodies classic sophistication.
- Delicate, romantic rosy neutrals, understated shimmer, subtly defined cheeks with blush and neutral tones, and a remarkably natural-looking base that results in a truly polished and flawless finish.
- To achieve this coveted look, we are opting for sheer, buildable formulas that allow for effortless layering and blending, while also incorporating subtle pops of color to add dimension. The result is a timeless, elegant aesthetic, making it perfect for the wedding day.
The future of makeup in 2025 is all about understated elegance.
- Think dewy skin that glows from within, rosy cheeks that whisper health, and a barely-there base that lets your natural beauty shine.
- It’s the rise of the “no-makeup” makeup look—fresh, radiant, and effortlessly chic. This trend is your go-to for looking put-together without trying too hard. After all, nothing says timeless like a glow that feels real.
In 2025, bridal makeup trends are focusing on a mix of natural beauty, elegance, and artistic expression.
- Glowy and Natural Makeup
Brides would be leaning towards more radiant, dewy skin that highlights their natural features.which involves soft blush, subtle highlighter, and groomed brows paired with minimal eye makeup and nude or soft pink lips
a fresh, lit-from-within appearance that compliments all skin tones.
The minimal glowing base look isn’t going anywhere this wedding season too with eyes being the most accentuated feature complemented with blushed cheeks and nude glossy lips.
- Minimal looks
- Glam eyes
- In 2025, bridal beauty is all about a fresh, barely-there base that lets natural radiance shine through—enhanced with softly blushed, fuller cheeks for a glowing, romantic look.
- The eyes are the focal point: think realistic, widened eyes with soft shading that brings depth and brightness, making them pop without heavy lines.
The trend in makeup which would last for 2025 brides :
- Soft glam makeup
- Bronzed cheeks with glass finish skin base
- Soft smoked kohled eyes like Kareena Kapoor
- Soft natural lashes for sure
