Fall 2025 Beauty Trends You’ll Actually Wear: A Beauty Editor’s Guide

With the crisp days of Fall 2025 fast approaching—and fashion weeks already teasing Spring/Summer 2026—it’s the perfect moment to reset our beauty routines. The runways and backstage moments from New York, London, Milan, and Paris gave us a clear idea of what’s trending, and this season the best looks are both fun and completely wearable. From glossy lips to cozy nail colors, here are the top beauty trends for Fall 2025 you’ll want to try right now.

1. Juicy Lip Stains: The Upgrade to Gloss

If you’re still carrying around matte liquid lipsticks, it’s time to swap them out. Juicy lip stains are this season’s must-have—hydrating, colorful, and long-lasting. Think of them as the perfect blend of lip balm, tint, and gloss. Whether you go for berry, coral, or classic red, stains deliver that effortless “just-applied” look that actually survives your morning latte. It’s the kind of trend that works for the office, dinner, or a night out.

2. Satin Skin & Outdoorsy Glow

Forget heavy contouring and flat matte finishes. Fall 2025 makeup trends are all about satin skin—smooth, even, and radiant without being overly shiny. Makeup artists are calling this the “outdoorsy glow,” the look you get after a brisk walk on a chilly day. Light foundation or skin tints with luminous finishes are replacing thick layers of coverage, and cream blushes in peach or rose are a perfect match.

3. Burgundy & Oxblood Lips

Every fall brings a statement lip, and this year it’s all about burgundy and oxblood. These shades were spotted at Milan and Paris Fashion Week, and they’re already taking over Instagram. The best part? A bold lip in deep plum instantly elevates your outfit—even if you’re just in jeans and a sweater. Pair it with minimal eye makeup for day, or amp it up with liner for a dramatic evening look.

4. The Ripped Bob HaircutMove over blunt cuts—the ripped bob haircut is officially the hairstyle of Fall 2025. Choppy ends, visible texture, and a slightly messy finish make it the perfect mix of chic and undone. Stylists say the appeal is its versatility: it works on straight, wavy, or curly textures, and it flatters most face shapes. From chin-length crops to collarbone-grazing versions, the ripped bob is low-maintenance but high-impact.
5. Double-Winged Liner & Smudged EyesWhen it comes to eye makeup, Fall 2025 is serving drama. The classic cat-eye has evolved into the double-winged liner—two sharp flicks for twice the impact. It’s graphic, bold, and surprisingly wearable when paired with neutral lips. If precision isn’t your thing, smudged eyeliner inspired by ‘90s grunge is also back. Think soft, smoky edges that don’t need perfection—just attitude.
6. Nails for the SeasonNo beauty look is complete without nails, and this season two shades dominate. Plum nails, a total ‘90s throwback, are trending again in rich glossy finishes. At the same time, toasted pumpkin tones are making waves—warm, cozy, and perfect for autumn layering. Both colors feel seasonal and chic, whether you keep them short and natural or long and almond-shaped.
