Lipstick is now the main character in every makeup bag. From a morning meeting to a late dinner, 2025’s lipstick trends fit every mood and moment.

Let’s break down the most exciting lipstick looks of the past two years from rich berries to soft mattes and space-saving minis.

Deep Berry Replaces Classic Red

In 2025, deep berry tones like mulberry and black cherry are taking center stage. These shades give a bold, modern twist to the classic red lipstick. The look is strong yet sophisticated and works for any occasion. Pinterest even predicts a "cherry-coded" year according to its annual trend report.

Best occasions to use this shade: Date nights, evening events, and festive gatherings.

Try it: Line lips, apply a thin layer of berry lipstick, and blot for a lived-in effect.

Terracotta Browns: Your New Neutral

Terracotta, caramel, and burnt sienna are the new neutrals. These shades add warmth and work across all skin tones. They’re perfect for daily wear and easy to apply. Celebrities have been embracing this trend wholeheartedly. 

Zendaya recently showcased a deep-brown lip liner topped with gloss at the Met Gala, while Gigi Hadid opted for a soft-matte nude to balance her sparkly dress. Even the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has been known to favor a lovely pinky-brown shade that works as a versatile neutral. These hues work well for daily casual outings.

Best occasions to use this shade: Office meetings, brunches, and casual outings.

Try it: Swipe once and blur the edges for a soft-focus finish.

Soft Matte Lipstick Is In

Soft matte lipstick leads the 2025 trend. These formulas last long and feel comfortable, thanks to hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and botanical oils. Matte lipstick now gives a polished look without drying out your lips.

Best occasions to use this shade: Long workdays, formal events, and when you need your color to last.

Try it: Start with lip balm, blot, then apply matte lipstick in thin layers.

Gloss with Pigment Makes a Comeback

Glossy lips are back. New glosses add shine and color without feeling sticky. Lip oils and tinted glosses hydrate and plump lips for a fuller look.

Best occasions to use this shade: Daytime outings, summer parties, and when you want a fresh, dewy look.

Try it: Wear alone or layer over lipstick for extra volume.

Mini Lipstick: Tiny, Trendy, Travel-Friendly

Mini lipsticks are trending for a reason. These small versions are perfect for touch-ups and let you try more shades without buying full sizes. Mini lipstick is ideal for travel and fits in any bag.

Best occasions to use this shade: Travel, quick touch-ups on the go, and nights out when you want to carry less.

Try it: Use a mini lipstick as both lip and cheek color for a quick, coordinated look.

Muted Neutrals Get Smarter

Taupe, rose-beige, and mocha shades bring subtle sophistication. These muted neutrals work for every skin tone and every occasion.

Best occasions to use this shade: Job interviews, family gatherings, and understated everyday looks.

Try it: Pick a shade just deeper than your natural lip for a “your lips but better” effect.

Let Lips Steal the Show

Pairing a bold lipstick with a bare face is trending. This look is simple but powerful. A strong lip color stands out when paired with minimal eye makeup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How do I stop matte lipstick from drying my lips?
Start by gently exfoliating your lips with a soft toothbrush or a sugar scrub. Apply a thin layer of moisturizing lip balm and let it absorb. Blot away any excess balm with a tissue. Apply your matte lipstick in a thin, even layer. Avoid layering too much product, as this can emphasize dryness.

Q2: Why is mini lipstick a good option?
Mini lipstick offers portability and fit easily into small bags or pockets. It allows you to try several shades without committing to full sizes. The formula is usually identical to the regular version, so you don’t sacrifice quality. Mini sizes are ideal for travel and quick touch-ups. They also help reduce waste if you rarely finish a full tube.

Q3: What lipstick shades match different skin tones?
Fair skin often looks great with peach, light pink, or soft rose shades. Medium skin pairs well with mauve, berry, or warm coral. Deep skin tones shine in plum, brick red, or rich burgundy. Always test shades in natural light to see what flatters you most. Personal preference and comfort should guide your final choice

Q4: What helps lipstick stay on longer?
Begin with clean, dry lips. Outline and fill in your lips with a matching lip liner. Apply one thin layer of lipstick and blot with a tissue. Add a second layer for intensity. Press a tissue over your lips and dust translucent powder through it to set the color.

Q5: Which is better-gloss or matte, for daily wear?
Gloss provides a shiny, fresh look and feels hydrating, making it great for casual or Quick routines. Matte lipstick offers longer wear and a more defined finish, which can be ideal for busy days or events. Your choice should depend on comfort, the look you want, and how much time you have for touch-ups. Both finishes can be part of a daily routine, depending on your needs
