Top beauty trends for 2025
Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025.
Haircare
Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment.
Hair glosses are multifunctional, as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025's core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up.
2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments.
Skincare
Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance their skin's appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. 'Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to achieve a flawless, youthful complexion.
Skincare will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine.
Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving make-up and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant.
Make-up

Make-up looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks.
Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect.

The perils of bringing the Bayeux tapestry to Britain
Patrick Wintour likens the British Museum's loan/swap of the Bayeux tapestry for treasures from Sutton Hoo to France's 1963 loan of the Mona Lisa to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York as examples of art's service in international diplomacy (The diplomacy of art: Bayeux tapestry loan shows cultural gifts still matter, 11 July). The example is inauspicious. While at the Met, the Leonardo was stored in a strongroom overnight. One night, a fire sprinkler malfunctioned and sprayed water over the picture for hours. Fortunately, it was face up and therefore the paint layers were protected by the glass cover. Had it been face down, its panel would have been saturated and warped, with horrendous consequences. The incident was covered up – and was only disclosed (unofficially) three decades later by the ex-Met director Thomas Hoving in his DaleyDirector, ArtWatch UK Last year, you published an item about Mia Hansson and the replica of the Bayeux tapestry she was making (Experience, 26 April 2024). I wonder if she has finished it yet?Tony MeacockNorwich I nearly covered myself in my breakfast porridge when I read that the Labour MP Helena Dollimore wants the Bayeux tapestry to be carted around the country like a collection of rolled-up sheets (Call for British Museum to take Bayeux tapestry to '1066 country', 14 July). This is an ancient collection of threads that has survived for so much longer than most items of fabric and it must be treated with care, gentleness and caution. I have misgivings about it leaving its current home for even five minutes, but if the experts think it can travel across the Channel for one visit, then so be it. But one visit it must be, not a travelling circus. The visit is an opportunity to learn about the events leading up to the battle and perhaps to stop acting as though this country sprang into being in 1066, when it does in fact have a long and fascinating history that connects us to the countries of northern Europe. Spare a thought, though, for the aged fabric and for the embroiderers who worked so hard to make GibsonBalsham, Cambridgeshire Have an opinion on anything you've read in the Guardian today?

I Know What You Did Last Summer: Why 2025 is big for horror
Lights down, armrest gripped, teeth clenched - just an average evening at the cinema for a horror film genre is having a great year in 2025, with the top three examples - Sinners, Final Destination: Bloodlines and 28 Years Later - taking a total of £41.3m ($55.6m) in the compared with £32.1m ($43.1m) for the eight biggest horrors released last year, according to Box Office North America, scary movies have accounted for 17% of ticket purchases this year - up from 11% in 2024 and 4% a decade ago, according to a report from the Reuters news agency."Right now it feels like we're in the renaissance of horror," Chase Sui Wonders, one of the stars of I Know What You Did Last Summer (IKWYDLS), tells BBC Newsbeat."Everyone's going to theatres watching horror movies." The small screen's also helping to switch us on to new releases. According to data provided by TikTok, there's been an rise in horror-related videos globally on the app in the past 12 said 10.7m people used the horror hashtag - an increase of 38% - while HorrorTok rose 40% to tags aren't exclusively used on movie-related content, but TikTok said it had noticed a spike in videos using them during the Cannes Film Festival in May. While the figures for the past year could suggest a horror explosion, long-time fans argue the popularity hasn't crept up on us out of nowhere. Ash Millman, a journalist and presenter who specialises in covering horror, says the genre's success has been more of a slow-burn than a the last 10 years, she says, it's been gathering more critical and commercial says the success of artier efforts such as Hereditary, from studio A24, and crowd pleasers from horror specialists Ash does admit that this year has been a particularly good one for fans."It's got a bit of everything for everyone," she says. "We have sequels, then amazing new things like Sinners."I do think we're going to be talking about 2025 for years to come."Ash points out that the genre has constantly been fed by producers of smaller-scale indie productions, but the number of major releases this year is notable."I think blockbuster horror has become a thing again," she says. "People want to go to the cinema, they want to see it on the big screen, they want to be scared." Since the Covid-19 pandemic, when streaming films at home increased, Hollywood has been struggling to get people back into cinemas. Horror movies, which tend to be relatively cheap to make, seem to be bucking the trend, and IKWYDLS is the latest big studio release hoping to do the same. Its director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson tells Newsbeat the feeling of watching with an audience is hard to replicate on your sofa."I think it's the collective experience of being scared," she says. "It's so fun. Everybody wants to go to the movies with their friends and jump and scream and have a good time."IKWYDLS is a retread of the cult 1997 slasher movie about a group of friends who agree to cover up a tragic accident, only to be pursued a year later by an anonymous killer known as the original came out in October - the traditional "spooky season" window for big horror releases. But IKWYDLS cast member Jonah Hauer-King says he thinks the new version won't feel out of place in July."Counter-intuitively, though it is frightening and scary, there is something feel-good about this kind of film," he says."It doesn't take itself too seriously and it is a bit of a wild ride, so it feels like a summer popcorn film with the scares and with the thrills." Jonah thinks there is also a deeper reason for the appeal of horror, too."I think at the moment people want to go to the cinema for a bit of escapism, forget about things and have a bit of fun," he agrees, and says times of "chaos and uncertainty" in the wider world tend to boost the genre."I think that's always a big festering ground for horror to make statements," she says."I feel like horror is a reflection of society but gives us a bit of control over it."Usually you see people kind of battling against a great evil and overcoming it in blockbuster horror, where we get a nice wrapped-up ending."And I think that's a really nice form of escapism and a way of kind of moving past these horrible things going on in the world."

Ant and Dec strip down to their boxers as they reveal their very surprising new career move
Ant and Dec stripped down to their boxers to announce their surprising new career move with a small Northern business. The presenting duo, both 49, stripped in honour of their collaboration with Northern Dough Co. - a pizza dough company that allows people to enjoy restaurant-quality food at home. The Britain's Got Talent presenters have made no secret of their love of the North of England so it is no surprise they reached out to the company and suggested a collaboration. They went on to jokingly strip down to their boxers as they announced that their act would now include a third party who was 'dependable, consistent and ready when you need them.' Dec said 'they will rise to any occasion' before joking that they would be 'ideally so chilled they are frozen'. 'After decades as a duo. We've invited someone else in. Meet our new partner,' Dec said, 'Northern Dough Co.' Ant went on to joke: 'They've got lovely balls of dough. Look at them. Beautiful.' Dec added: 'Cool. Clam. Always ready to deliver,' before Ant stressed: 'Just like us.' Referencing the fact that the pair had stripped to their boxers, Ant said: 'It's restaurant quality pizza at home. Without putting your trousers on.' Dec joked: 'Oh! That's what this is. I thought we were just getting comfy for pizza.' The pair went on to praise the at-home pizza-making kit. However, Dec admitted that he did feel a bit cold at this point and asked Ant if he could finally put his trousers back on. Ant said: 'I love making pizzas at home with my family and was already using Northern Dough Co when we started conversations with Amy & Chris about working with them. 'As soon as we met it was clear we had the same values and together we have some great ideas on how we can expand the business, it's very exciting and we can't wait to get started in our role as co-owners!' Dec added: 'We love the Northern Dough Co.'s ethos of celebrating the joy of eating at home and bringing people together.' 'Whether it's a pizza party with mates or a Saturday night in front of the telly with your granny, everyone can get stuck in and make delicious pizzas.' Northern Dough Co. founders, Amy and Chris Cheadle, said: 'It's not every day Ant & Dec 's team drop you a line to ask if you'd be interested in exploring working together. 'But from the very first meeting it was clear just how well their personal values aligned with ours. 'And how easy it would be to partner and grow our business together.'
