‘Minimally Bold’ Beauty Trends Taking Over Fall 2025

From minimalism meeting maximalism to bold and daring colors and looks to try this fall and winter season, we are becoming increasingly bold with makeup.

Backstage beauty trends of prioritizing healthy skin, deep lip colors, and creative eyeliner looks are what to expect this season.

Fashion’s new buzzword, eclecticism, has taken an influence on makeup artists to emphasize individuality and self-expression, whether you dare to not care about wearing makeup, wear vinyl lips, or try a new bold and creative look that is not eyeliner. We are embracing our individuality and self-expression for the autumn and winter with these beauty trends. 

This season, we are ditching makeup; not caring is the new cool. Prioritizing our skin’s health and embracing our natural beauty is what’s trending this season.

Designers like Stella McCartney, Prada, and Michael Kors featured looks of very little makeup to no makeup, prioritizing healthy skin over heavy powders.

Whether this trend stems from Pamela Anderson making headlines during fashion week, red carpets, or magazine looks for going makeup-free, authenticity is redefining confidence in wearing less makeup, prioritizing our skin’s health, and showcasing the beauty of our natural features.

Instead of a heavy foundation, look for products that blur skin rather than magnify to achieve a natural look. Primers, hydrating moisturizers, or lightweight formulas like a skin tint can help your skin look its best and achieve a glowing appearance. 

For my grunge-inspired and statement-loving beauty lovers, fall would not be complete without a bold lip.

Deep reds and berry tones, whether gloss or matte, are adding a touch of sexiness to a bold lip and with intention. 

At Haider Ackerman’s debut for Tom Ford, Ackerman captured the essence of a morning-after pout suggesting models have been kissing all night with highly pigmented shades of deep reds, or if looking for a more wine-stained pout try deep, sultry colors or berry toned shades like merlot, plum, and mulberry, complimented well with a dark, smoky eye, heavy liner, or tight-lining of the eyes adding to the grunge feel while still looking chic.

Whether feeling more grunge-inspired or wanting to keep things minimalistic, eyeliner is the best beauty trend to elevate some of this year’s chic fashion trends dominating this season.

Inspired by make-up artist Lynsey Alexander, who creates arts and crafts-inspired eye looks use various shades of thread in place of eyeliner or eye shadow, or try a bold, graphic eyeliner design.

No matter your style, this season is all about embracing individuality, authenticity, and creativity, being bold and daring, and just having fun with beauty.
