Top 15 Influencer-Approved Makeup Looks for 2025

Who Are Makeup Influencer?

Among all types of influencers, makeup influencers are the most popular ones who have gained a massive following by sharing their passion for beauty products and makeup application techniques. Using platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, these influencers create video tutorials, product reviews, and behind-the-scenes vlogs to engage with their audiences.

Some of the most popular makeup influencers have millions of followers and work with major beauty brands to promote new product launches. Since they sound credible and trustworthy among their followers, they can easily popularize particular looks, brands, and products by sharing their recommendations.

From red-carpet glamour to TikTok-viral aesthetics, 2025’s makeup trends blend nostalgia, innovation, and individuality. Here’s a curated guide to the most sought-after looks, endorsed by celebrities, makeup artists, and beauty influencers.

Berry tones dominate lips, cheeks, and lids. Radhika Apte’s BAFTA look combined frosted lilac eyeshadow with berry lips, while Melanie Inglessis predicts burgundy liners and plum blushes for 2025. Ideal for winter events or bold

everyday statements. 

2.**Bronzed "Blonzer" Glow**  

**Inspired by:** Camila Cabello’s Sun-Kissed Contour  

"Blonzer" (blush + bronzer) creates a sun-kissed flush. Camila Cabello’s caramel-toned contour and Molly-Mae Hague’s all-over bronzer at the BAFTAs highlight this trend. Use cream formulas for a seamless blend.

3.**Doll-Like Precision**  

**Inspired by:** Douyin and Bratz Resurgence  

Think fluttery lashes, gradient lips, and blush-heavy cheeks. Influencers like Daus Mendoza use white gel liners on waterlines and clustered lashes for a "living doll" effect. Pair with pastel hair accessories for a playful twist.

4.** Rococo Romance**

**Inspired by:** Marie Antoinette-Inspired Blush  

Soft, rosy cheeks and delicate accents define this trend. Bridgerton’s Hannah Dodd and TWICE’s Nayeon exemplify this with rose-hued lips and powdered complexions. Add pearl or gold embellishments for vintage flair.

5.**Siren Eyeliner**  

**Inspired by:** Kelly Rutherford’s Winged Flick  

Sharp, elongated wings are back with a vengeance. Kelly Rutherford’s BAFTA look paired diamond jewels with a classic cat-eye. For a modern update, try colored liners (electric blue or emerald) or double-winged designs.

6.**Icy Pastel Grunge**  

**Inspired by:** Millie Bobby Brown and Chlöe Bailey  

Pastel eyeshadows in lavender or mint meet grunge textures. Naomie Ackie’s lavender eyeshadow at the BAFTAs and Pinterest’s "Cherry Coded" trend blend soft hues with edgy contrasts, like leather jackets or chunky boots.

7.**Vampy Velvet Lips**  

**Inspired by:** Saoirse Ronan’s Bold Red Lip  

Deep plum and burgundy lips add drama to minimalist looks. Saoirse Ronan’s red lip at the BAFTAs contrasted her mint gown, while Lupita Nyong’o paired hers with silver shadow. Use matte formulas for longevity.

8.**Glitter All Over**  

**Inspired by:** Euphoria-Esque Sparkle  

From holographic face gems to shimmer-infused highlighters, glitter is no longer confined to eyelids. Cynthia Erivo’s glowing skin and Demi Moore’s Golden Globes look paved the way for this maximalist trend.

9.**’80s Chic Revival**  

**Inspired by:** Katie Jane Hughes’ Pearly Textures  

Shimmery pearls on lids, cheeks, and lips channel ’80s opulence. Pair with voluminous hair and power suits for a retro-modern vibe. This trend thrives on hybrid produc

it's like Isamaya Ffrench’s iridescent lip balms.

10.**Soft Blossom Glam**  

**Inspired by:** Ariana Grande’s BAFTA 2025 look  

Ariana Grande channeled her *Wicked* character Glinda with a dreamy palette of soft pink eyeshadows, flushed cheeks, and a nude-pink lip. This look emphasizes ethereal femininity, pairing well with loose waves or updos. Perfect for daytime events or romantic evenings, it’s a favorite for influencers embracing "fairycore" aesthetics.

11.**Peachy Satin Skin**  

**Inspired by:** Demi Moore and Hannah Dodd  

Satin-finish skin replaces ultra-dewy "glazed donut" complexions. Think soft-focus blushes in peach or coral tones, paired with lightweight foundations that mimic natural skin texture. Demi Moore’s BAFTA look featured a peachy-pink blush blend and glossy lips, while Hannah Dodd showcased a "dewy delight" with honied highlights.

12.**Futuristic Metallics**  

**Inspired by:** Cynthia Erivo’s Silver Shadow  

Silver and chrome accents dominated 2025 runways. Cynthia Erivo’s BAFTA look—silver eyeshadow paired with glowing skin—epitomizes this trend. For a wearable twist, add metallic liners to the inner corners or opt for iridescent lip balms.

13.**Mocha Mousse Lips**  

**Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year** takes center stage with cool-toned brown lips. This shade, seen on Lancôme’s "Plum Addiction" lipstick, complements all skin tones and pairs effortlessly with smoky eyes or minimalist makeup. Natalie Dresher notes its versatility for day-to-night transitions.

14.**Gothic Grunge** Revival**  

**Inspired by:** Anna Kendrick’s Bold Black Liner  

Anna Kendrick’s gothic-inspired black eyeliner at the BAFTAs signals a return to ’90s grunge. Pair smudged kohl with matte berry lips for an edgy yet polished look. TikTok creators are amplifying this with "office siren" aesthetics and dark, moody palettes.

15.**Bare-Faced Radiance**
