Berry Lips vs Frosted Eyes: Which Winter 2025 Trend Is Better For Your Skin Tone?

Winter 2025 is serving up two absolutely stunning makeup trends that couldn't be more different from each other. On one side, we've got luscious berry lips that scream sophistication and warmth. On the other? Frosted eyes that bring back early 2000s glamour with a fresh, ethereal twist.

But here's the thing, while both trends are absolutely gorgeous, they don't work the same way on every skin tone. And since we're all about helping you find your perfect match with clean, organic beauty, let's dive deep into which trend will make you absolutely glow this winter.

The Berry Lip Revolution: Rich, Warm, and Totally Timeless

Berry lips are having a major moment right now, and honestly? We're here for it. These rich, wine-inspired shades, think deep raspberry, luscious plum, cranberry crush, and that perfect dark cherry, are the ultimate way to add instant sophistication to any look.

What makes berry lips so special is their incredible versatility. Whether you're heading to a morning meeting or a fancy dinner date, these shades transition seamlessly from day to night. The red-purple undertones bring natural warmth to your complexion, creating that perfect "expensive makeup" look even when you're using clean, organic formulas.

The best part about berry lips? They're incredibly forgiving. Unlike some bold lip trends that require perfect application, berry shades blend beautifully and actually look better when they're slightly lived-in. That means you can apply your Luxury Matte Lipstick in the morning and still look pulled-together hours later.

Berry Lips Application Tips That Actually Work

Getting that perfect berry lip isn't rocket science, but there are a few tricks that'll take your look from good to absolutely stunning:

Start with our Rose Lip Balm to prep your lips, the organic formula creates the perfect smooth base while nourishing your skin. Then, use our Waterproof Gel Lip Liner to outline and fill in your lips. This cruelty-free formula prevents feathering and makes your berry shade last all day.

For the final touch, apply your chosen berry shade with our Cream Lipstick for a creamy finish, or go matte with our soft-finish formula. Pro tip: Dab a tiny bit of our Luxury Lip Gloss in the center of your lips for that perfect dimensional look.

Frosted Eyes: The Ethereal Trend That's Taking Over

Now let's talk about frosted eyes: the trend that's bringing back all those early 2000s vibes but with a much more sophisticated approach. We're talking icy blues, shimmering silvers, and those gorgeous pearl whites that create an almost otherworldly glow.

What's amazing about the frosted eye trend is how it can be both subtle and dramatic depending on how you apply it. You can go for just a hint of frost in your inner corners for everyday wear, or sweep that shimmer across your entire lid for a full-on ethereal goddess moment.

The key to modern frosted eyes is all about buildable color. Our Molten Powders for Eyes & Cheeks are perfect for this: the organic, finely-milled formula lets you build up that frosted intensity gradually, so you never end up with too much shimmer at once.

Making Frosted Eyes Work for You

Here's where things get interesting: frosted eyes can be a bit trickier than berry lips when it comes to skin tone compatibility. Cool-toned metallics have this tendency to wash out certain complexions, but don't worry: we've got solutions.

The secret is layering and balance. Start with our Pore Perfecting Face Primer to create that smooth base, then apply your frosted shades with a light hand. If you're worried about looking washed out, warm up the look with a slightly deeper shade in your crease, or pair your frosted eyes with a warmer lip color.

The Skin Tone Breakdown: Which Trend Is Your Perfect Match?

Let's get real about skin tones because this is where the magic happens. Understanding your undertones is the key to choosing between berry lips and frosted eyes: or figuring out how to rock both.

Deep and Warm Skin Tones: Berry Lips Are Your Best Friend

If you have deeper skin with warm undertones, berry lips are absolutely made for you. Those rich purple-red hues create stunning contrast against your natural warmth and make your skin look absolutely radiant. The organic pigments in our clean formulas enhance your natural beauty without looking artificial or overdone.

Frosted eyes can definitely work for you too, but here's the pro tip: skip the pure silver shades and go for warmer metallics instead. Think bronze-toned frosts or golden pearls that complement your skin's natural warmth.

Fair and Cool Skin Tones: Frosted Eyes Will Make You Glow

Cool undertones and fair skin? Frosted eyes are going to be your winter obsession. Those icy blues and shimmering silvers will enhance your natural coolness and create that gorgeous ethereal effect you see all over social media.

For berry lips on cool skin, choose slightly warmer berry shades: think raspberry rather than deep plum. And here's a game-changer: use our Baked Finishing Powder to add a hint of warmth to your cheeks. This cruelty-free formula gives you that perfect glow that balances out bold lip colors.

Olive and Medium Skin Tones: You Can Have It All

Lucky you: if you have olive or medium skin tones, both trends are going to look absolutely incredible on you. Berry lips will enhance your natural warmth, while frosted eyes create a gorgeous contrast that's both striking and flattering.

This is where you can really have fun mixing and matching. Try pairing frosted eyes with berry lips for maximum impact, or alternate between the trends depending on your mood and the occasion.

Why Clean Beauty Makes All the Difference

Here's something most beauty brands won't tell you: the quality of your ingredients matters just as much as the color when it comes to how makeup looks on your skin. That's where our organic, cruelty-free formulas really shine.

Traditional makeup can contain harsh chemicals that irritate sensitive skin or cause long-term damage. Our clean beauty approach means you get the same gorgeous color payoff without compromising your skin's health. The organic ingredients actually nourish your skin while you wear them, so you look better both with and without makeup.

Our cruelty-free commitment means you can feel good about every product you're using, knowing that no animals were harmed in creating your perfect winter look.

Creating Your Perfect Winter Look

The beauty of both these trends is that they're not mutually exclusive. You absolutely can rock both berry lips and frosted eyes: it's all about balance and knowing when to dial each element up or down.

For a stunning evening look, try pairing subtle frosted eyes (just a hint of shimmer on the lids) with bold berry lips. The contrast is absolutely gorgeous and photographs beautifully. For daytime, reverse it: go for more dramatic frosted eyes with a softer berry stain on the lips.

Don't forget about the rest of your face either. Our High Performance Powder keeps everything in place all day, while our Luxury Mascara defines your lashes without clumping or flaking.

The Final Verdict: Berry or Frost?

So which trend wins? Honestly, it's not about choosing just one: it's about understanding which trend works best for your skin tone and lifestyle, then having fun with both.

Choose berry lips if you want a universally flattering, sophisticated look that works across most occasions and skin tones with minimal fuss. Choose frosted eyes if you love making a statement and want to try something fresh and fashion-forward.

But here's our recommendation: why not try both? Winter 2025 is all about experimenting with different looks and finding what makes you feel most confident. With our organic, cruelty-free formulas, you can play with both trends without worrying about damaging your skin.
