Milan Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2025 has come and gone, but these inspo-worthy beauty moments won’t be leaving our minds any time soon. No matter which fashion house you champion, one thing is for sure: the ‘90s is here to stay.
Whether you’re big on hair, or a lip colour connoisseur, or even a master at eyeliner application, there’s bound to be a piece from the Milan Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2025 that you can bring to your beauty routine—especially if you’re due for a refresh for your daily look. Don’t worry; this year’s fall and winter beauty trends lean on the fact that it’s highly executable. We all know that beauty is the great equaliser, where beginners and experts alike can partake in these trends at any price point.
That said, keep reading for the beauty trends we spotted over at the recent Milan Fashion Week.
Brown Eyeliner
Listen. Brown eyeliner has been criminally slept on. But we think we’ve cracked the code: you just need the right shade of brown and the right finish to fall in love with it. Where a solid black eyeliner can be unnecessarily harsh, a brown could actually achieve that sharp, cat-eye look without being painfully obvious. Just like a contour, you want it to be a seamless shadow, almost.
The trouble with a lot of brown eyeliners in the market is that many can lean on the warmer side of the scale, and it really throws the chiaroscuro off-balance. Here, Fendi showcases how a single swipe of the colour can soften the every day makeup look, and Giorgio Armani pushes the limit with a hazy yet geometric take.

Sunkissed Cheeks
Can a healthy flush really go out of season? According to Emporio Armani, the answer is no. And we can’t help but agree with the notion. It’s the antithesis of a previous trend of bright cool pinks and electric lilacs, which, if you ask us, are not as approachable as corals and burnt ambers. The best part about this colour is that you won’t have to wait for your favourite brands to extend their colour offerings—chances are, the right shade already exists in the market, and in any format you prefer.
Finish-wise, it seems like matte is making a return. While we all love a little sparkle here and there, mattes are tried-and-true mainstays that will forever find its way back. Plus, there’s just more room to play with the texture. Add a highlighter or a face gloss, and boom, you get a whole new look.
GRAZIA Pick: Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush in Future, RM192
Bed Hair
Everybody thank Miuccia, because she’s about to make a lot of our lives a whole lot easier. Nothing screams luxury more than the ability to throw society standards to the wind, and the norm we’re ditching for Autumn/Winter 2025 is fussing over our locks. Over on her runway and Gucci’s, the models donned dishevelled hairdos that are actually swoon-worthy.
Especially with Malaysia’s humid weather, this trend cam be easily executed. There’s barely a need for tools, save for a comb for you to quickly run over your tresses before you spritz on a light layer of styling spray and tousle it up. Maybe even throw in Ariana Grande’s ‘toss, toss’ Wicked moment in there too, for a finishing touch.
GRAZIA Pick: OUAI Wave Spray, RM145
Vampy and Vinyl Lips
The perennial item for autumn is of course a bold lip colour, because when else are you going to pull out that blackened plum or brown red? This time around, the ongoing high-gloss trend is going moody. Nix those MLBB shades for a more impactful, saturated hues. While it may appear high-maintenance (let’s face it, gloss can get everywhere), there are already innovations in the market where you can achieve the longwear of a liquid lipstick but with that enviable glass-shine finish.
What we love about this trend is that there’s still room for you to explore lip products that nourish the lips too, so the plump doesn’t have to only be superficial. From Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Beauty to the latest YSL The Inks Vinyl Cream, there’s a plethora of options to explore for this particular style of lip. The best part? Many of the formulas make touch-ups seamless, so there’s no need to worry about that throughout the day.
GRAZIA Pick: Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix in Hot Chocolit, RM127
