Global trends for 2025

„Glass skin“ – Radiant and healthy skin. A natural base and a gently glowing complexion.

Sparkling and metallic eyes – Metallic eyeshadows. The trend from 2000 is back with a new look. You`ll love these modern eyeshadows with their frosty, shimmering reflections.

Distinctive and elegant lips with ice berry flavour – This lip colour will make you the queen of the evening. You can then perfect it with gloss or a shimmering effect to suit your taste.

„Blush draping“ – Multi-purpose blush + natural blush for the eyes.
Use blush not only on your cheeks—brighten your eyes and temples as well to unify your makeup. This trend makes your makeup look fresh, youthful, and subtly "glowing."

  • If you`re going to a party: Glass skin + metallic eyeshadow + subtle lips — this is an elegant evergreen, and with a little glitter, you definitely can`t go wrong.
  • If you want something dramatic: Dark berry lips + subtle eye makeup + glowing skin — ideal for parties, celebrations, or special occasions. 
  • If you want to be trendy: Metallic eyeshadow + subtle blush ("blush draping") + nude or subtly glossy lips — a modern combination that suits various types of outfits.  

 

New Year`s Eve look step by step

1. Skin as radiant as the starry sky

This year, face makeup is led by natural makeup, which has a soft base with a radiant glow effect.

How to do it:

  • Use a brightening primer under your makeup. Choose a light foundation that will even out your skin tone without looking like a mask.
  • Apply the highlighter with a brush to the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, above the upper lip, and inner corners of the eyes.
  • If you want to shine even more, which you definitely can on New Year`s Eve, use a glitter spray.

2. Metallic eyeshadows take centre stage

Gold, bronze, and silver are the classic colours for New Year`s Eve eye makeup. This year, however, bolder colours are also in vogue. Combine these metallic colours with shades of green dust, sapphire blue, or pink plum.

Procedure:

  • Eye shadow primer (an important part of eye makeup to ensure that the shadow lasts all evening without smudging).
  • Apply metallic eyeshadow (liquid or powder) to most of the eyelid. You can use a larger flat brush with dense bristles or apply the eyeshadow with your finger, which will help the metallic eyeshadow adhere better and ensure a more intense colour.
  • For a seductive, dramatic look, use a darker shade on the outer corner of the eye and a lighter shade on the inner corner. This will make your eyes appear larger.

3. Graphic eyeliner

These lines are the hit of the season – minimalist and extravagant.
Create a subtle outline, double line, or dramatic wing. 

Tip: If you want to look good in photos, apply glitter to your eyeliner with a small, narrow brush. The glitter will reflect the light from the spotlights and make your eyes stand out beautifully. 

 

4. Sparkling enchantment

A glittery look is a New Year`s Eve classic that never gets old. Glitter simply belongs to New Year`s Eve. You can use it literally anywhere.

 

5. Lips – red, berry, and metallic

Let your beautiful lips shine. Bold red, dark burgundy, or rich pink—these are the colours that will dazzle. Metallic finishes are also trending right now, giving a futuristic yet very elegant look.
For perfect-looking lips, don`t forget to give them the right care before applying makeup. Exfoliating and moisturising your lips can take the final result of your makeup to the next level.

Procedure:

  • A thin layer of foundation and concealer will create a clean, smooth canvas for your masterpiece. This will make your lip contours stand out better.
  • A lip liner (lip maker) is still indispensable in 2026. Choose a lip maker shade that is one shade darker than the lip colour you will use in the next step. Slightly overlapping the lips is trendy, but only by about 1 mm, otherwise the makeup may look unnatural.
  • Lipstick – apply it from the centre towards the corners, and for a more precise result, you can use a brush.

ESSENS Tip

You can fill in about 60% of your lips with the lip maker, then use the lipstick you want to create an ombré effect.
