Bridal Makeup Trends for Summer 2025

Skin-like basis with duration

"Natural" is always in fashion, but in 2025 we see it upgraded. The skin remains luminous, with light coverage and stabilizing products that are not altered by heat. The waterproof foundation and the matte setting sprays are necessary.

Glow with control

"Naked" skin doesn't mean dull. The highlighter is strategically placed on the cheekbones and nose, giving a summer, sun-kissed tuna, without greasiness.

Pastel or peachy eye shades

Pale pink, peach and soft golden shades dominate, especially for morning or afternoon weddings. For more daring brides, the pink-lilac line eyeliner makes a subtle difference.

Soft & lifted eyebrows

Bold, graphic eyebrows give way to natural, well-groomed eyebrows with brow gel which "raises" the gaze.

Stained lips & lips oil

Instead of heavy lipsticks, this year lip tints and lip oils with color are the star – more permanent, lighter, ideal for summer.
