2025 Lip Trends You Need to Know About
Here, we are putting the flashlights on a few lip trends that are seemingly becoming it among the fashion girlies of today. These are looks that makeup gurus are taking part in with a plumping lip gloss, lip pigment, and others. Check out the looks and try them to flaunt with your Insta fam.
From Victoria Beckham to Cindy Crawford, the '90s were ruled by divas who rocked a precisely defined lip. The trick was to use a dark liner for outlining your lips and then use a few shades lighter colour, preferably a shimmer or gloss in the centre. Using dark lip liner for plumping and a lighter shade for highlighting was the recipe for a glam look.
Well, now the same look is back, but just with a few tweaks. Now, the look is more blended and looks closer to an ombre. Now influencers and Insta beauty gurus are rocking the modernized version of the 90s look. Wear it with dark eyes, with bold colours, or create a look with fuller lashes and siren eyes.
From Rihanna to Britney Spears, this lip makeup was approved by the OG queens of fashion. And now, the makeup gurus of today are bringing it back for a low-effort, minimal glam look. This look is all about wearing lip gloss that has a shimmer, like a lot of it. Shades like silver and lilac go very well for the frosted look. However, blindly copying the look from the 2000s may make you look a little dated. So, you will have to make a few changes so that you get to be the main character. The trick is to pair the frosted lips with dewy or minimal face makeup. This makes it appear you have barely done anything and just stepped out wearing your trusted gloss.
Pro tip: Go for a plumping lip gloss for an enhanced look.
The makeup baddies of social media are picking lip glosses, proving glossy lips are replacing matte dominance. But they aren't completely ditching their trusted matte lips. Instead, they are combining the two to create lips that shine and last for long hours. This is helping in creating a high-shine, glossy finish while keeping the matte's longevity intact. One little tip: use a non-sticky gloss formula to lock the product in.
2025 is all about looking fab and making a statement. And what better way than wearing a bold red lipstick? Reds have always been a classic colour, best for creating a dramatic look. But now the berries are also catching eyes. A deep red or berry shade works with all tones and looks perfect for both day and night looks. Whether you are going out for brunch or have a date, these shades are ideal to make heads turn. So, pick one that goes perfectly with your undertone. And when it comes to texture, we suggest you go for a matte liquid lipstick with a lip liner for plumping.
Want to play a little with lipstick? Then, this lip trend will just be perfect. Although the two-tone lips were initially introduced by the Latin and Black community, now it has earned global fame. You might have seen Hollywood celebrity and business mogul, Kylie Jenner, flaunting this look a few years back, and now it is back again. Influencers, models, and even celebrities like Megan Thee Stallion are opting for this, meaning this trend might just stay. While most are going for properly lined lips, Korean beauty influencers are making a few changes with a blurred gradient. This looks quite similar to the popular Kawaii lips and helps in creating a soft and subtle look.
Either use lip liner for plumping and light colours in the middle for centre-highlighted lips, or use a dark and light colour lipstick combo and let the magic unfold.
Making your lips look fab doesn't always mean that you have to wear a dark lipstick or even a lipstick at all. Instagram makeup gurus are rocking the 'woke up like this' look with some minimal makeup and hybrid lip products. These make your lips look good while keeping them hydrated. We are talking about lip oil tints, balms with pigment for the juicy lips. Clean beauty is all the hype, and it's even claiming its era on the runway. This is ideal for all those fashion girlies who want the perfect mix of colour and comfort. So, pick a hydrating lip oil or balm and claim your 'Clean Girl' era.
In 2025, the lips are louder, glossier, and more nostalgic than ever. From frosty finishes to bold liners, these revived trends are all about expressive and playful beauty that prompts you to experiment a little. So, choose a plumping lip gloss, lip liner, and a few dark shades and start having fun with the makeup trends of this year.
Stock up your lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip liners for plumping! Look straight out of the runway and impress your Insta fam!

These Graduated Bobs Work on Every Face Shape and Hair Type
The graduated bob likely calls to mind the nostalgia of the '90s, when the inverted, ultra-sharp crop was as omnipresent—and as revered—as skinny brows and overlined lips. Fast-forward to today, and the once-blunt, razored cut is having its moment again, this time softened for the new season. Need real-life inspo? Look to Lily Collins, who recently stepped out with a Posh Spice–inspired bob, and to Victoria Beckham herself—an early champion of the cut—who's reimagined it with airy layers and subtle waves. Below, ELLE spoke with Mark Hayes, international creative director at House of Sassoon, about how to cut, style, and wear the nostalgic crop now. 'The graduated bob is the ultimate power haircut. It's cut shorter in the back and becomes gradually longer in the front, tracing the jawline,' Hayes explains. 'A lightly graduated crown keeps it effortlessly chic and accentuates the natural shape of the head.' The hairstyle originated in the '60s, defined by geometric precision, bold lines, and sharp structure before being popularized years later by the likes of Victoria Beckham and Keira Knightley. 'Today, the cut remains as relevant as ever,' Hayes says, noting that it's now slightly less sharp—think longer front layers and softer waves. 'It's flattering, stylish, and endlessly versatile.' Precision matters, even if you choose a more subtle take on the trend, and that often means employing a 'twist-cut' technique—cutting hair at an angle to form a diagonal line. 'The genius lies in the fact that the graduated bob isn't just a haircut; it's architecture,' Hayes explains. 'You have to cut carefully, ensuring the shorter back and the longer, face-framing front work together to enhance bone structure, add volume, and create a dynamic shape.' The style suits virtually every hair type and face shape. 'It flatters oval, heart, and round faces, adding balance and sharpening features,' he notes. It works best on fine to medium textures: 'The layers help create the illusion of thickness and bounce, giving even the limpest locks a major boost.'
