Summer was cute, but fall? Fall is when beauty gets interesting. It’s the season of vampy lips, cozy skincare, and enough shimmer to make your pumpkin spice glow. If you’re ready to refresh your makeup bag (or at least your vibe), here are the fall 2025 beauty trends worth trying—whether you’re going full-glam or just experimenting on a sleepy Sunday.
🍇 1. The “Wine-Stained” Lip
Not quite a bold lipstick, not quite bare—this trend is all about that just-sipped-red-wine look. Blurred, berry-toned lips are in, and they’re shockingly easy to recreate. Just tap on a rich plum or burgundy lip with your finger and let it smudge a little. No lip liner. No pressure.
💋 Try: Glossier Ultralip in “Ember” or Fenty Slip Shine in “Cookies & Cocoa”
✨ 2. Goth Girl Shimmer
We’re calling it: spooky sparkle is having a moment. Think glittery black eyeliner, shimmer-smudged shadow in moody hues like midnight blue or forest green, and highlighter that looks like moonlight. This trend says, “I’m mysterious and glowing.”
🖤 Try: Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in “Zodiac” or NYX Glitter Goals Liquid Eyeliner
🌾 3. Flushed, Windswept Blush
Forget contour—fall 2025 is all about cheeks that look like you just came in from an autumn hike. Blush is being applied higher on the cheekbones, even brushed across the nose bridge for that chilly-weather flush. Bonus: It makes you look instantly awake.
🍁 Try: Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Blush in “Love” or Saie Dew Blush in “Spicy”
🔮 4. Cozy-Goth Nails
If you’re over glazed donut nails (RIP), this fall’s trend is all about deep, dramatic tones with a cozy twist. Think matte olive, velvety chocolate brown, or inky purples with a hint of shimmer. Also trending? Subtle chrome details and micro-French tips in unexpected colors like copper or charcoal.
💅 Try: Olive & June in “HJ” or Lights Lacquer in “Mystery”
🧖 5. Skin Barrier = The Main Character
The “no-makeup-makeup” look is evolving into the “my-skin-is-thriving” look. Skin barrier repair is the skincare flex of the season—so layer up your ceramides, slug (if you dare), and embrace the glow that only comes from treating your face like royalty.
💧 Try: KraveBeauty Great Barrier Relief or Naturium Multi-Peptide Moisturizer
🍂 6. Scent as a Mood Ring
This fall, perfume isn’t just a finishing touch—it’s a whole aesthetic. Earthy, spicy scents like cardamom, smoky vanilla, and oud are everywhere. Wear something that makes people stop and say, “Wait, what is that??” (in the good way).
🌬️ Try: Ellis Brooklyn “Après” or Byredo “Eyes Closed”
🧡 7. Bold Brows, Soft Everything Else
Big, brushed-up brows are still here, but now they’re paired with softer eyes, creamier lips, and luminous skin. Let your brows do the talking while the rest of your makeup whispers, “I woke up like this… on purpose.”
🪄 Try: Kosas Air Brow + Westman Atelier Lit Up Stick in “Brûlée”
Final Thought:
Fall is basically the New Year of beauty—you’re changing moods, changing wardrobes, so why not change up your look? Whether you’re into the barely-there berry lip or going full cozy-glam goth, this season is all about playing.
🍁 So go ahead—buy the weird eye gloss. Try the burgundy nail. Light a cinnamon candle, throw on a hoodie, and experiment. Fall beauty is about vibes, not perfection.
