Toasty makeup trend: Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor try fall-inspired glow

The cozy makeup trend will keep getting hotter into 2025, as seen with celebrities like Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, and Lori Harvey. This special makeup trend focuses on warm, fall-like shades, leaving skin with a natural, glowing finish.

It’s like wearing cozy, golden fall sunlight, made up of caramel or warm orange or inoffensive brown, all of which fade seamlessly into the skin. To summarize, toasty makeup is not about hard contouring or powder finish; it’s about having warm and cozy colors that are appropriate for nearly every occasion.

What is Toasty Makeup?

Toasty makeup is an action or a look; it is a feeling. It is the way that honey and warm cinnamon spread into the skin and provided warmth to the face without hard contouring.

The tones are a little bit more saturated and deeper like autumn-- like milky browns, sienna, gold, and warm soft oranges. There’s a time or a place for a natural, glowing skin complexion and toasty makeup that convey natural skin and depth again with subtlety.

Celebrities embracing the trend

A few high-profile celebs have been getting in on the warm and toasty trend, each with their own variation! Alia Bhatt was recently seen sporting a burnt orange blush which brightens up her complexion instantly while still keeping it soft and natural.

Autumn is not too far away, and this warm red-orange flush gives an effortless natural flush to the cheeks!

Janhvi Kapoor works the trend too, with cinnamon brown lips and eyes in the song ‘Tu Hai Meri’ from her new film ‘Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari’.

The combination of brown and orange hues used in her make-up beautifully creates a subtle, yet impactful contrast, contouring her features with warmth.

Khushi Kapoor also sports terracotta eyeshadow, adding a rich earthy tone to her eyes. The deep warm tones of these eyeshadows really complement Khushi's own skin tone perfectly while giving her skin that beautiful sun-kissed glow!

Lori Harvey, famously famed for her stunning beauty looks, has recently opted for ginger-toned bronzer for her toasty makeup look.

Having a warm, bronzy tint delivers that naturally sun-kissed glow that your skin craves if you’d like to add a little warmth to your complexion.

What makes it so appealing?

This toasty makeup looks like it works because it's approachable, wearable and adaptable. It simply takes the fall notion of beautiful, natural colors and incorporates them onto your skin. The best part?

You can personalize the shades to fit your personal tastes, and, unlike fake tan, it's ideally suited for any skin tone. It's an adaptive look, that's really opened to experimenting with tones that enhance your natural features without having to rely on heavy make up or effort.

How do I get the toasty look?

If you’re hoping to acquire this look, start with a clean and dewy, hydrated base. Use some sort of luminous foundation for a nice soft glow. For the eyes, try experimenting with shades like terracotta, cinnamon brown, or gold.

A little bronzer in a ginger color or a soft sienna in a bronzer, to define the face and add warmth. Top with a warm-toned blush on the cheeks and a nude or apricot gloss.

The toasted makeup trend is simple, it respects and embraces natural warmth and radiance from within and it’s a great way to bring a little bit of autumn sunshine into your beauty routine, while still looking fresh.

Whether you love Janhvi Kapoor's cinnamon brown lips or Lori Harvey's ginger bronzer, this trend is wearable and stunning. So which celebrity's toasty makeup look will you replicate this festive season?
