💄 Glow Up 2025: The Makeup Trends Defining This Year and Why You Need Them on Your Vanity

Makeup in 2025 is bolder, cleaner, and more expressive than ever. It’s no longer about hiding flaws — it’s about amplifying your energy, embracing your individuality, and using your face as a canvas for self-love and power.

From viral TikTok looks to minimalist clean girl glam, today’s beauty lovers are exploring makeup in all-new ways. Whether you're a full-beat queen or a dewy skin lover, there’s one thing for sure: makeup is for everyone.

Let’s dive into what’s trending in 2025, which products your vanity needs, and how Urban Edge is bringing these looks to life — affordably and accessibly across Pakistan.


💋 Why Makeup Still Matters (Even in a Skincare-Obsessed World)

Some say makeup is losing popularity because of the skincare boom. Not true. What’s actually happening is a shift:

✔️ Less cakey coverage
✔️ More breathable formulas
✔️ Products that combine skincare + pigment (hello, tinted serums!)

💡 2025 is all about intentional makeup: look good, feel better, protect your skin.

The Hottest Makeup Trends in 2025

Here’s what’s hot this year, from red carpets to reels:


🌿 1. Skinimalism & Clean Girl Aesthetic

This viral look is still going strong: glowing skin, feathered brows, glossy lips, and just a touch of blush. It’s about looking effortlessly fresh — like you woke up radiant.

🧴 Must-Have Products:

  • Tinted moisturizer or BB cream

  • Dewy highlighter

  • Lip oil or gloss

  • Brow gel

🎨 2. Graphic Liners & Color Pop Eyes

Neutral eyes? Not this year. Gen Z is all about bright blues, floating eyeliner, and negative space looks. It’s bold, artsy, and full of personality.

🎨 Try electric green, lavender, or royal blue liners with nude lips.

🛍️ Urban Edge Picks:
👉 Color Flash Waterproof Liners

🌞 3. Sun-Kissed Blush Everywhere

Blush isn’t just for cheeks anymore — 2025 makeup lovers apply it across the nose bridge, temples, and even eyelids for a sun-kissed vacation glow.

🌸 Trending shades: Coral, burnt rose, tangerine

🛍️ Urban Edge Blush Favorite:
👉 Cheek & Glow Liquid Blush


💎 4. Glass Skin & Soft Glam

Originating in Korean beauty, the glass skin look is still trending — especially in summer. It pairs beautifully with soft glam, where eyeshadow and contour are blended into seamless perfection.

✨ What you’ll need:

  • Hydrating primer

  • Light-reflective foundation

  • Setting spray with glow

🔥 5. Bold Lips Are Back

While nude lips still rule the everyday scene, statement lipsticks are making a huge comeback — especially deep red, plum, and chocolate brown.

💄 Hot tip: Use a lip liner to create definition and make your lips appear fuller.

🛍️ Urban Edge Bestsellers:
👉 Velvet Matte Lipsticks
👉 Smooth Glide Lip Liners
