The hot season of 2025 rewrites the codes of contemporary make-up. The protagonist is a luminous, fluid and conscious beauty that welcomes colour and enhances the skin in its naturalness. Make-up no longer imposes rigid definitions but becomes an individual language, a vehicle of identity and personal style. The Y2K aesthetic, Year 2000 that identifies the typical aesthetics of the late 90s and early 20s, is reborn in a sophisticated version, while the textures become light, melting, perfectly integrated with the complexion.
Sun-kissed effect, without sun exposure.
A tan is no longer a requirement, but an inspiration. A healthy, radiant complexion is achieved through the strategic use of bronzers, blushes and earths in liquid or cream formulas. The textures are subtle, adjustable, designed to adhere to the skin like a second skin and gently sculpt the volumes of the face. The nuances range from warm gold and copper tones to deep bronzes, to be dosed in a natural and blended way.
The gaze lights up blue.
Eyeshadows return to centre stage, driven by the revival of the 2000s. Aquatic blues, turquoises, lilacs and metallics establish themselves as the key palettes of the summer, with interpretations ranging from the satiny lightness of daytime looks to the graphic intensity of evening versions. The approach is creative but calibrated: tone-on-tone harmonies and soft textures make the colour wearable every day.
