3 Easy Trending Looks For The Party Season

This season’s sweet trend was first introduced in 2023 when Kylie Jenner showcased the sultry look. Back with a vengeance and just in time for party season, Cherry cola lips takes the classic red and melts it into a syrupy, brown-kissed gloss.

To get the look, start with a brown-rose pencil to sculpt a soft shape, then layer a brick-red tint in the centre before flooding everything in a high-shine glaze,

It’s flattering on nearly every undertone because the brown grounds the red, making it both bold and wearable. We love it because it instantly says effortlessly polished, in a moody, warm, and chic kind of way. Plus, it looks equally good in daylight and candlelight.

2025 is shrugging off the sharp wing in favour of something far more lived-in: the smudged, slept-in smoky eye revival. Think soft charcoal halos, channel Claudia Winkelman, but a messier version.

This trend loves all eye shapes, especially hooded or deep-set eyes, because the blurred edges elongate without requiring precision.

Achieving the look is blissfully easy: scribble a kohl pencil along the lash line, massage it out with a fingertip or brush, then tuck a little shadow over top to keep things deliciously undone. We adore this trend, frankly, because zero perfection is required. You can’t mess up.

Glass skin has never quite left the trend scene, but it’s just evolved into a more grown-up look, and there’s now an influx of products to help get that luminous glow. The new edition is less ‘drenched in dew’ and more ‘lit from within’.

Spot-highlight only where the light naturally hits. Think cheekbones, temples, bridge of nose, so the effect stays refined.

To nail it, layer skincare: mist → essence → gel moisturiser → a touch of luminous base. This is perfect for anyone who wants radiance without slipping into grease territory, and it’s a bonus for dry skin thanks to its soft-focus sheen. Why are we obsessed? It turns everyday skin into a filter-like glow.
