Manchester has always been a city full of creativity, individuality, and bold style — and 2025 is no exception. From soft natural looks to daring color experiments, this year’s makeup trends are all about expressing personality while keeping things effortless and chic. Here are the top 5 makeup trends taking over Manchester right now.
1. Glowing, Glass-Like Skin
This year, skin is the star of the show. Think dewy, luminous, and natural-looking complexions that radiate health and hydration. Manchester’s beauty lovers are swapping heavy foundations for lightweight, glowy tints and skin-perfecting serums. The goal? Skin that looks real, not filtered.
💡 Pro tip: Use a hydrating primer and finish with a light mist of setting spray for that natural glow that lasts all day.
2. Statement Blush
Blush is back — and bolder than ever. From vibrant coral cheeks to soft berry tones, 2025 is the year of “blush draping.” This technique lifts the face and adds warmth, giving that fresh, youthful energy perfect for both day and night looks.
💡 Try this: Blend your blush high on the cheekbones and a little over the nose bridge for that sun-kissed Manchester glow.
3. Glossy Lips with a Twist
Matte lips are taking a break, and shine is making a big comeback. Glossy finishes with a hint of shimmer or tint are dominating local makeup counters. From subtle nude glosses to bold red shines, this trend screams confident femininity.
💡 Salon secret: Layer a long-wear lip tint underneath your gloss to keep the color vibrant all day long.
4. Color Pop Eyeshadow
Manchester’s love for creativity shows in the eyes — literally. Electric blue liners, pastel lids, and metallic accents are trending across the city. This playful look pairs perfectly with otherwise minimalist makeup.
💡 For beginners: Start with a thin swipe of colored eyeliner for a modern, wearable take on the trend.
5. Sustainable & Clean Beauty
2025 is seeing a major shift toward eco-friendly and cruelty-free makeup. Manchester’s salons and beauty enthusiasts are embracing vegan formulas and refillable packaging. Beauty is becoming not just about looking good — but feeling good about your choices.
