Makeup Trends for 2025
1- Glowing Skin
Dewy, radiant skin is the talk of the bridal world. And our artists are well skilled in crafting coverage where needed without concealing your natural beauty—so skin looks like skin!During your makeup trial your Makeup Artist (MUA) will help you with any tweaks and or recommendations ensuring your skin looks fabulous for the big day.
2- Soft Smoky Eyes
In 2025, brides are looking for soft, smoky eyes and neutral tones. This year, your eyes will shine in a subtle and romantic way that compliments your features and draws your betrothed in when you meet them at the end of the aisle.
3- Bold Brows
Last year, brides saw a trend toward softer brows, but 2025 brings the return of bold brows for beautiful brides. Brows are meant to add framing and lift the face and balance the rest of your modern romantic makeup look.
4- Monochromatic Makeup
In a break from recent tradition, one of our favorite trends of 2025 is the monochromatic makeup look—where eyes, cheeks, and lips share the same inspiration. Your bridal photos are going to pop with color and highlight your best features. No worries about washed out images this year!
5- Subtle Contour
Last year, we saw a break from heavy contour that I was excited to see! In 2025, we’re seeing the return of contour, but not the unnatural looks of the past. Subtle contour doesn’t look unnatural, and can actual add warmth and romance to the face when applied properly!
Hair Trends for 2025
1- Textured Low Bun
Romantic and lovely, this style is one we love! The textured low bun looks effortless and stylish, with subtle sweeps of hair and hidden fasteners. The perfect look for the bride who doesn’t want her hair in her face, but it’s a fan of tight holds!
2- Sleek, Glossy Ponytail
The ponytail is a look that never goes out of style, but in 2025, this glossy ponytail pulled tight and held securely stuns. If you’re looking to dance the night away with your bridal party, you want a hairstyle that can hold up! This look is ideal for both gorgeous photos and a great time at the reception without worrying about flyaways.
3- Natural Waves
Whether you step into our chair with waves already, or we add them—shh, we’ll never tell—this look is a stunner on 2025 brides. For the bride who wants their hair to flow free but look completely put together, our hair artists are ready to craft natural waves in your hair to last all day.
4- Messy High Bun
We covered the low bun, but have you thought about the high bun? Because 2025 brides are a big fan of this look, too! Our experienced hair team knows exactly how to style your hair and strategically release strands to best frame your face and emphasize that gorgeous makeup.
5- French Twist
The french twist gained popularity in the 1940’s—often equated to Hollywood Glam. In 2025, this classic look is also taking the bridal world by storm, and we are loving it! Stylish and sweeping, this hairstyle is beautiful on its own, but can be elevated with hair accessories and veils. The dream updo for brides looking for that classic style.
