How to do pearlescent makeup – the main trend of autumn 2025

This fall, pearlescent makeup has become the main beauty trend. Light shine, delicate shimmers and fresh skin make the image feminine and sophisticated. This makeup is easy to repeat at home, just a couple of suitable products and the right technique. We at joy-pup will tell you how to do pearlescent makeup – the main trend of autumn 2025.

Step 1. Preparing the skin

Cleanse your face and apply a light moisturizer. Add a drop of primer with a highlighting effect to it – it will make the skin smooth and radiant from the inside.

If necessary, use a light foundation fluid or BB cream. A thick matte base would be unnecessary in this makeup. Instead of powder, try fixing the makeup with a thin fixing spray, which will preserve the natural glow.

Step 2. Pearlescent eyes

The eyes are the main accent in this makeup. Apply pearlescent eyeshadow to the entire movable eyelid (shades of champagne, rose gold or pearl are the most universal). Add a darker tone to the outer corner (for example, light coffee or lavender), slightly shading the border. Apply a drop of the most shimmering eyeshadow to the center of the eyelid with your finger, which will create the effect of a “wet look”. Finish with mascara, which will provide the effect of natural volume.

Step 3. Shining cheekbones

Blush and highlighter are essential companions for this makeup. Choose a blush with a light pearl: soft pink or peach. Apply it to the apples of the cheeks, slightly moving towards the temples. Apply the highlighter to the top of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and the T-shaped mark above your lip. This will add lightness and sophistication to your face.

Step 4. Pearlescent lips

For daytime makeup, a gloss with a delicate pearlescent sheen is enough. But in the evening, apply a nude lipstick and a transparent pearlescent top coat. This will give your lips the effect of volume.

Step 5. The final touch

Look at your makeup in daylight. Pearlescent textures should shine softly, and not turn into a gloss-boom. If it seems that the accent is too bright, tone it down a bit with matte shadows or a neutral gloss.
