Lip Gloss Is Taking Over: Top Trends and Shades for Autumn 2025

Summer was a true refreshment for lips – playful pinky tones and fruity scents made every look sweet and tempting. Now, it’s time for a slightly more sophisticated approach… Lip gloss in earthy shades and warmer tones is taking the spotlight, bringing a glamour that is both soft and elegant.

Read on to discover which shades are dominating this season, how to incorporate them into your makeup and how they can make your look appear fresh and elegant, no matter the occasion.

Why Choose Lip Gloss for the Transitional Seasons

The transition from summer to autumn is a moment that calls for a balance between lightness and warmth. Lip glosses fit perfectly here. They’re light enough to preserve that summery freshness, yet come in shades and tones that hint at the approaching autumn.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, lip glosses also have a practical side. Formulas enriched with moisturising ingredients help prevent the dryness that often comes with the first cooler days, keeping lips soft, smooth and visibly fuller.

Another great thing about it is its versatility. It works just as well with a light daytime look as it does with evening makeup, when you want to add a touch of glamour.

Creamy Lip Glosses for Perfect Hydration

Creamy lip glosses combine the best of both worlds – rich hydration and a subtle shine. As the weather changes, they become a must-have for soft, cared-for lips, providing a comfortable, nourished feel. Going for a simple, everyday look or want to add a finishing touch of shine to your evening makeup? No worries, creamy glosses offer exactly that kind of versatility.

This season’s favourites combine care and colour, leaving lips looking soft, fresh and irresistible.

NYX Professional Makeup Lip Gloss is a legend, known for its ultra-hydrating formula that works as both a balm and a gloss in one. Its warm, honey-nude shade perfectly enhances the lips, leaving them irresistibly soft. The balance of hydration and colour makes it a favourite among fans of a smooth, creamy finish.

For those who prefer a more intense colour, there’s Blush Rich Color Lip Gloss in the shade Tranquilla. This creamy gloss in a muted pinky-brown hue adds a touch of warmth and elegance to your everyday look. Thanks to its creamy formula, it applies easily, delivering a rich layer of colour with a glossy finish, without any heaviness or stickiness.

Step into Y2K Glam

The distinctive aesthetic of the late ’90s and early 2000s has made a major comeback in recent years. From low-rise jeans and chunky jewellery to bold makeup statements, it was a period that paved the way for many contemporary creative trends. Somehow, it managed to leave its mark on both the fashion and beauty industries, influencing every aspect of style. On the fashion runways over the past few weeks, lipsticks, eyeshadows and lip glosses with holographic effects have made their presence felt. Glosses inspired by the Y2K era highlight the lips in a playful yet elegant way. They can be worn on their own or paired with a lip liner to define the contours.

Blush 3D Crystal Lip Gloss in the shade Amethyst is perfect if you want to bring the extravagance and glamour of the runway into your everyday look. Its lightweight, shimmer-finish formula delivers intense shine without any heaviness.

For a real dose of 2000s energy, NYX Professional Makeup Shimmer Down Lip Veil is spot on. This liquid shimmer lip gloss gives a beautiful shine with a subtle holographic effect. Light and silky, it can be worn on its own or layered over your favourite lipstick.

Enhance Your Natural Lip Beauty With Lip Gloss

Amid a sea of colours and irresistible shades, sometimes it’s good to go back to basics. Want to highlight the natural beauty of your lips without adding extra colour? Then, a clear lip gloss is the perfect choice. Blush 3D Crystal Lip Gloss in Clear provides a subtle yet striking shine, giving lips a healthy, nourished appearance while making them look visibly fuller and smoother. It works just as well with a minimalist daytime look as it does layered over your favourite lipstick for a finishing touch in the evening.

Jam Lips – The Irresistible Runway Trend

Inspired by the texture and intensity of fruit jam, Jam Lips is a style defined by deep, glossy tones with a rich layer of shine. The result is lips that look seductive, soft and almost juicy. 

This trend fits perfectly into the transitional seasons. It combines the warmth of deeper shades like plum, raspberry and cherry with a fresh feel. All thanks to the gloss’s reflective shine. This very balance makes Makeup Revolution Pout Bomb New Lip Gloss in the shade Jelly Berry Mauve an ideal choice. It’s a rich mauve colour that blends purple and pink tones, giving that signature “jammy” look. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, the formula delivers intense colour and high shine while keeping lips smooth. Exactly what the Jam Lips trend is all about! On top of that, volume lovers will be delighted by the plumping effect, which gives lips a fuller appearance.

Earth-Toned Lip Gloss for the Ultimate Autumn Vibe

Autumn is the season to return to nature and warm tones, and earth-toned lip glosses capture that mood perfectly. Shades of beige, caramel, terracotta and coffee create a balance between modern style and understated elegance.

I Heart Revolution Chocolate Lip Gloss has a pleasant scent and a warm brown shade that evokes the first cup of hot chocolate on an autumn day. Its creamy texture glides on easily, delivering high shine and rich colour, while keeping lips soft and nourished. This gloss is perfect for any daytime or evening look in earth tones. Also, it pairs beautifully with warm autumn shades on the eyes and cheeks.

For intense care and high shine without stickiness, NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip in Splash of Cream features a formula enriched with plant-based squalane and raspberry and strawberry oils, providing up to 12 hours of hydration. This gloss is luxuriously creamy, making it easy to pair with a variety of makeup looks.
