PFW2025 Beauty Report

Paris Fashion Week has introduced exciting new trends in the fashion and beauty industry. Bold hairstyles, futuristic makeup, and unexpected color combinations are already featured in our PFW2025 Beauty Report!

Paris Fashion Week has redefined the approach of leading beauty brands. While natural beauty looks remain the trendiest, bold new makeup ideas have emerged—offering fresh inspiration you can easily incorporate into your everyday routine.

Sleek Back Wet Hair Look 

The wet hair look isn’t just for edgy outfits—it also pairs effortlessly with sporty and sophisticated styles, as seen at Lacoste during Paris Fashion Week. This versatile hairstyle is a perfect choice not only for summer vacations, but also for fall. Whether styled with casual streetwear or an elegant style, this look works with everything. To achieve it, start with dry hair, apply hair foam, and brush your hair back while evenly distributing the product through the entire length. Then, set it in place with styling gel for a smooth, glossy finish and lock it in with hairspray for long-lasting hold.

While Waterline Eyeliner 

A white waterline eyeliner is the latest beauty trick to make your eyes appear bigger and brighter in an effective way. Unlike bold graphic eyeliner styles, this trend offers a more understated approach, making it perfect for those who prefer a soft, natural enhancement. By applying white eyeliner to the waterline, the eyes instantly look more awake and refreshed, creating an illusion of larger, more defined eyes.

This technique isn’t just for youthful makeup looks—it’s also a great choice for mature beauty. A white waterline can help brighten the eyes, making the face look more youthful and radiant.

Reverse Eyeliner 

Additionally, it’s a delicate way to enhance eye elegance and create a more polished appearance. If you’re looking to achieve cat-like eyes without a wing, outlining the inner corners with white eyeliner can make your eyes appear more almond-shaped, adding a unique and refined touch. This unconventional yet striking look is perfect for those wanting to experiment with something new—especially if you’re heading to a party or special event.

Orange Sunrise Eyeshadows

During the next winter season, gentle orange eyeshadows with a hint of shimmer will be a refreshing way to bring summer vibes into your look. This warm-toned shade adds a natural, radiant touch to the face while keeping the makeup soft and effortless. The beauty of this trend is its versatility—not only does it brighten up winter looks, but it also complements sun-kissed skin and vibrant summer outfits beautifully.

For those who love to experiment, this warm, glowing eye look pairs perfectly with bold lips or a shiny highlighter, making it a stunning choice for the warmer months.

Dramatic Blush 

Valentino took dramatic blush to the next level this season, embracing bold, statement-making applications. If you’re a fan of electric pink blush, now is the perfect time to experiment with extra-bright and intensely pigmented looks to stay ahead of the trend for both summer and winter 2025.

Moreover, this vibrant, high-impact blush trend is set to make waves, but it’s especially perfect for the winter season, adding warmth and energy to cold-weather beauty looks. Given its striking presence on the runways, it wouldn’t be surprising if this trend stays relevant well into 2025’s biggest beauty statement. Without a doubt, this is the boldest trend from our PFW2025 Beauty Report—one that dares you to embrace color fearlessly.

Smoky Double Eyeliner 

At Armani, we’re seeing a fresh take on the graphic eyeliner trend, this time with a softer, smokier twist. Instead of traditional liner, eyeshadows are used to create a diffused, dramatic cat-eye, adding an effortless yet bold effect. This technique not only enhances the eyes but also offers more flexibility—blending out mistakes is much easier with shadows, allowing for a seamless smoky finish. In addition, this sophisticated, sultry look pairs perfectly with an elegant evening dress, making it an ideal choice for a night out or a formal event.

Bold Balck and White Lips 

The bold black lip outline is making a striking comeback, offering a fresh way to revisit the gothic-inspired beauty trend. For those who may have tucked away their black lipsticks, now is the perfect moment to bring them back into your makeup routine. Although this style is undeniably for the bold, it can also be an exciting and daring choice for fashion and beauty events. Whether you opt for a classic black lip outline with a nude or deep-toned center, or instead, go full-on gothic with an intense, defined lip, this trend is sure to make you stand out. In addition, the black lip contouring effect gives your lips a sharper, more sculpted appearance, adding depth and dimension to your overall look.

So, if you’re ready to embrace a trend that is both rebellious and sophisticated, the bold black lip outline will instantly make you feel a little bit gothic, a little bit high-fashion, and completely unforgettable.

Double Colour Lips 

Vivienne Westwood is once again bringing back the iconic ’90s lips during this Paris Fashion Week 2025, and, as a result, we are seeing a major revival of this bold and statement-making beauty trend. In fact, in our PFW2025 Beauty Report, this trend is also considered one of the most daring and fearless looks of the season, mainly because it requires the use of very bright, highly contrasted lip colors to fully recreate its signature look. Not only does this trend stand out on the runway, but it also brings back the nostalgia of an era that was all about dramatic and well-defined lips.

However, if you are someone who prefers a more understated and refined version of this trend, then there is still a way for you to embrace it without going too bold. Instead of using extreme contrasts, you can opt for softer, more neutral shades that are slightly closer in tone while still creating the illusion of bold and voluminous lips. This way, you can achieve a more wearable look while still tapping into the ’90s-inspired lip aesthetic. We consider the 90s lips the coolest comeback in our PFW2025 beauty Report.
