Revitalized Classic Beauty Styles Expected to Dominate This Year
Revamped Glamour: 7 Classic Beauty Trends Making a Splash in 2025!
We all know what goes around eventually comes back around, and that's never been truer than for beauty trends. So, let's ditch the outdated beauty myths and celebrate the return of some timeless tricks that are the talk of the town in 2025.
Vivid Red Nails
With the classical French manicure starting to wane, a bolder option is grabbing the spotlight - red nails. Deep cherry reds are a go-to for the holidays, and nothing quite exudes confidence like three coats of Big Apple Red [1]. During springtime, and summer, a coral red reigns supreme. Wearing red nails enables you to strut with the aura of a powerhouse this year [1].
Old-School "Blowout" Haircuts
Although sleek bobs and super shaggy cuts have ruled the roost the past few years, it's all about embracing the natural and low-maintenance with the "blowout" cut [1]. With layers framing your face starting below your chin, this tricky hairstyle screams '90s coolness, just like Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer rocked it [1].
Powder Blush Passion
While liquid makeup has dominated our routines for a youthful, glowy finish, nothing beats powder blush when it comes to putting a statement on subtle makeup [1]. Let's be honest, blush is all about creating a healthy, radiant complexion, and an over-the-top application has become the trend of this decade [1]. Apply that generous amount of blush to contour your upper cheekbones, and give yourself a nod to both the blush-heavy '30s and '80s eras [1].
Velcro Roller Revival
The reliable classic velcro rollers are back in a big way. Your grandmothers might have sworn by them, and maybe you remember being dropped off at school with your mom still wearing them. But it's time to put any biases aside, because with velcro rollers, you'll never use anything else and achieve bouncy, voluminous curls like never before [1].
Authentic Semi-Matte Lipstick
Lip gloss has had a lasting reign the past couple of decades, but it's the more natural-finish lipstick that is gaining popularity as a superior option. It's not matte like the drying and peeling matte lipsticks of the '10s, but a hydrating, yet not glossy finish that is characteristic of traditional department store lipsticks [1]. The shades of the moment are oblivious to lip color trends, choosing to flatter your natural tone with soft rosy pinks, dusty mauves, and rich berries [1].
Back-to-Basics Skincare
Sometimes it pays to stick with what works, and simple skincare routines are at the forefront of this year's beauty trends [1]. In a world filled with 12-step routines and retinol alternatives, people are finally realizing that sometimes simple is better [1]. Effective skincare routines can save time, effort, and money. Look for versatile products like Isle of Paradise Effective Self-Tanner that can give you a healthy glow and even out your skin tone in a few effortless spritzes [1].
At-Home Hair Color, Reinvented
Permanent hair dye at home may be best left to the experts, but there's an increasing variety of color-adjacent products on the market to help you refresh and enhance your strands without any risk of damaging your hair [1]. Now's the perfect opportunity to experiment with tinted products that offer a wash of color and smooth out your hair, giving you a salon-inspired toning result at home [1].
This decade is shaping up to be the comeback of returning trends, and it's exciting to see some beloved styles take the beauty world by storm! Keep slaying in 2025!
