If you’re someone who is overwhelmed by the amount of makeup trends that have emerged this year, don’t worry we’ve got you covered! Maithili Bachani glances through the top 5 makeup trends in 2025 that are popular not only in UAE, but also globally.
Boyfriend Blush
The boyfriend blush is the new blush blindness, last year was all about your blush being over the top and this year we are all about embarrassing the natural blush we already have through products that are buildable and sheer tinted. The only time we will allow a boyfriend to decide our makeup look!
Butter Skin
The Butter Skin look, is a very light, supple, dewy makeup look that makes your skin look healthy, hydrated and bouncy. It’s an elevated skincare look that works on almost all skin types without it being too oily or reflective; arguably the new ‘No Makeup-Makeup Look’
Blurred Lip
Looks like lip stains are in and aren’t leaving our vanities anytime soon, the blurred look our lips have with smudged lip liner and natural tint lip stains leave. From gloss to blurred, lips are really the statement of the year!
Watercolour look
Right on cue with the natural beauty look this year, the watercolour makeup look is colours diffusing on your face and giving you all the glow you need to enhance the delicate features of your face. It almost mimics the dew that remains after a swim in the ocean.
Matte/Complexion
The 2010s have made a comeback and we’ve jumped right into the matte glam look that ruled all of Instagram a few years ago, although the revamped 2025 matte look is softer and more even tone with neutral colours and baked complexion.
