As you may or may not know, one of my gigs is that of Professional Image Consultant. Part of that job means researching and trying the upcoming trends (aka reading magazines online and playing in makeup). During today’s research and try on, I completely felt like a teeanager again. Why? Because the Fall 2025 trends are straight out of the 90s and 00s! Forget Jerry Maguire and having me at hello, these trends had me at “Grunge is back!”
So what am I going to be rocking this fall besides blue, black, and gray (because are there other colors for a wardrobe)??? First things first, I’m laying the foundation using the Velvet Foundation trend! This is a take on the matte look that was so big, but instead of just leaving it matte, you add a serum and some facial oil under the foundation. This softens it just a bit without going full on luminous. Next up, break out the black eyeliner and a smudger brush because smudged smokey eyes are back! Think Avril Lavigne circa Sk8ter Boi! Match it with a single color on the lid like grey or maroon to bring the 00s to 2025! To make it extra trendy, use a grey or maroon that sparkles to make you look like the shining star that you are! Then accent those eyes with the BIGGEST lashes you can create. I like to layer two different mascaras to get this effect. Finally, somebody call Drew Barrymore because her 90s trademark lip is back! Get the dark liner and a light brown lipstick or gloss out because that’s what is on trend for 2025. I am so here for this look!!! Eighth grade me is BEYOND excited for this to return for Fall 2025!!!! Seriously, there aren’t enough exclamation points. If semi-goth isn’t your thing, then the wine stained look is worth checking out. FYI…I’m sorry to report that it doesn’t involve actual wine just wine colored lip shades.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. The Great Kaysby doesn’t usually dole out glam advice. BUT…I am too excited for the 90s/00s looks coming back to keep this info to myself! That’s MY ERA! Call it THE LIFE OF A MILLENIAL if you will! Want the full scoop? Google 2025 trends (ha ha we would not have said that in 90s!) and checkout the complete articles from the Trend Trio: Glamour, Allure, and Cosmo.
Which 90s/00s trend are you excited is back?
XOXO,
