Glazed like a fresh donut and warm like a creamy mocha—Glazed Skin and Mocha Mousse are set to dominate the beauty scene in 2025. These two effortless trends enhance your natural beauty, creating a fresh, modern look with minimal effort. But how can you incorporate them seamlessly into your routine? Jessie Lefler, National Senior Artist for M.A.C Cosmetics BeLux breaks it down.
Imagine the radiant sheen of a perfectly glazed donut catching the light—that’s the essence of Glazed Skin. “This trend is all about achieving a fresh, ultra-hydrated finish with a subtle, juicy glow,” explains Lefler. The secret? Lightweight, translucent formulas that melt into the skin for a naturally luminous effect.
Lips: A clear gloss over a softly blended lip liner for the ultimate juicy pout.
Cheeks: A creamy or liquid blush for a youthful, radiant flush.
Eyes: A soft highlight on the brow bone or a subtle shimmer on the lids for an instant brightening effect.
“Glazed makeup avoids heavy textures,” says Lefler. “We focus on lightweight, dewy products with gel or cream-based formulas that naturally reflect light.” The result? A fresh, glowing complexion that looks effortlessly modern and healthy.
Mocha Mousse: The Perfect Neutral for Every Skin Tone
To balance the glossy glow, Mocha Mousse brings warmth, depth, and sophistication. This soft mid-brown shade—named Pantone’s Trend Color of 2025—is versatile, universally flattering, and incredibly chic.
Eyes: A subtle, smoky lash line for effortless definition.
Lips: A nod to the iconic ’90s supermodel era with soft brown tones.
Skin: The perfect bronzer or “blonzer” for a natural sun-kissed glow.
“What makes Mocha Mousse so unique is its perfectly balanced undertone,” says Lefler. “It’s not too warm, not too cool—just neutral enough to enhance your features without overpowering them.”
