1.  Bold Brows That Frame The Face

Forget the “drawn with a ruler” brows of the past. 2025 Ghana is all about full, natural, fluffy brows. MUAs are using brow gels and pencils to enhance, not erase, your natural shape. You might be interested in how to get a glowing skin.

2.  Glossy Lips

Make Everything Gloss is back and better. Clear gloss, nude gloss, or colored gloss — as long as it’s juicy and shiny, it’s in. Pair with a lined lip for that soft glam baddie finish. It makes your lips appear so soft, especially with the right gloss.  

3.  Shimmery Eyeshadows .

From gold to bronze to vibrant pinks, Ghanaians are loving shimmery lids that pop in photos. Metallic eyeshadows add that “event ready” sparkle without doing too much.  

4. Colorful Eyeliner

Black liner is classic, but colorful eyeliner (blue, green, purple) is the playful trend taking over IG and other socials. It’s bold, fun, and gives that confident “I’m a boss babe” energy.  

5.  Skin-Like Foundation (No Mask Look)

The heavy, cakey foundation which makes you look like you borrowed a mask is out. I remember people looking like halloween horror queens ♛ on their big days. Foundations have taken a great turn so now, it’s lightweight, dewy, with natural finishes. Thick skin but better — with your freckles, glow, and melanin shining through.  

6.  Creative Face Gems & Rhinestones

Thanks to Afrobeats music videos and TikTok, rhinestones and gems around the eyes are trending. Perfect for concerts, festivals, and bold photo shoots.  

7.  Blush for Melanin Queens

Ghanaians are embracing blush like never before! Coral, berry, and orange-toned blushes are now staple products. They warm up dark skin beautifully and give that youthful glow. You might want to know the harm doubt can do.  

8. Soft Smokey Eyes

Not the harsh, all-black smokey eye — but a softer, brown-toned smokey eye. Perfect for both daytime glam and nighttime events. This style offers effortless chic.  

9.  Ankara-Inspired Makeup

Makeup inspired by Ankara patterns is trending — bright shadows, matching lip colors, and bold contouring to complement outfits. It’s giving culture meets creativity.  

10.  Natural “No-Makeup”

Makeup Ironically, one of the hottest trends is looking like you’re wearing no makeup. Think tinted moisturizers, lip balm, brushed brows, and a hint of blush. Subtle yet stunning.
