Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the beauty giants keep you on your toes with these new beauty releases in October 2025.
This time around, we’re seeing an expansion of an iconic complexion range as the brand transposes the ethos of its popular concealer onto a new foundation. The skincare world is also (possibly) moving on from the notion of anti-ageing, and instead is looking into how we can all age better. No more focusing on undoing what time has already done, but instead zeroing in on preventative measures to slow down cellular deterioration and thus keeping us healthier for longer.
All this, and more below.
The Best New Makeup Releases of October 2025
Dior J’Adior J’Adore l’Or Solid Perfume
Purse-perfect, shatter-proof, and an iconic method of fragrance application—Dior is providing a solution for all of those needs. A truly opulent pick, we can’t help but spotlight this decadent limited edition solid perfume this month, and more specifically, the l’Or. This format is not only an ultra-exclusive interpretation of the fragrance, but it also comes in an alcohol-free formulation, which is a plus for those of us with sensitive skin. Instead, the heady solar fragrance is encapsulated within the innovative jasmine wax that melts upon skin contact, unfurling its sensual notes as soon as your application. And with its eye-catching format, it’s bound to be the accessory of the season, if we do say so ourselves.

Lancôme Juicy Tubes
The 90’s called, they’re here. And we have no problem with that at all. If you find joy in nostalgia or enjoy practical packaging, then this is the lip product to have in your bag. A true classic formula, this no-nonsense gloss achieved its cult status because it’s just that reliable. Glossy, hydrating, and cushiony comfortable, it hit the trifecta of what we’re all looking for in a gloss. Now, the Juicy Tubes are making a return, and it’s going to be the gloss cultural reset that we could all use—because we have grown to expect way too much from the category, when all it needs to be is shiny.

NARS The Multiple Blush
What’s old is new again, and we’re more than pleased to see this icon from NARS to (re)gain their flowers. It remains as versatile as before, but now features an updated formula that keeps the beloved stick ahead of the curve. Perfect for a chic, monochromatic look, The Multiple is designed for use on the cheeks, lips, and eyelids. The transformative cream-to-powder formula offers an extensive wear, all while maintaining the colour intensity. If you’re the type to get ready on the go, The Multiple is about to be your makeup bag’s bestie.

Chanel Sublimage L’Extrait Huile Lèvres
The ultimate lip oil has arrived, and there’s no doubt that it deserves the crown. The latest addition to the iconic Sublimage range at Chanel, L’Extrait Huile Lèvres transposes the regenerative effects of the range’s star ingredient, polyfractioned Vanilla Planifolia, onto the lips. Of course, you can wear this during the day, but it does its best work in the quiet of the night, when the skin kicks into its reparative gear. When worn overnight, you will wake up to incredibly supple lips that are perfectly prepped for lip colour application. Perhaps our favourite part of the lip oil is its metal lip applicator—it is cool to the touch, providing immense comfort from the second you apply it to the lips.

Natasha Denona HY-Glam Foundation
We’ve heard a lot of hype surrounding its concealer, so it’s no surprise that we’re seeing the foundation join this list. With a focus on creating user-friendly yet high-performance formulas, this 52-shades-strong complexion item met those criteria, no sweat. The serum-like texture of this foundation makes it almost mistake-proof—you can apply it with your fingers, favourite beauty sponge, or brush. This is definitely the kind of foundation that you could almost describe as self-blending, because that’s just how effortlessly and quickly it blends into the skin. As for the finish? It gives a blurred and luminous effect that promises not to settle into the creases and crevices, which makes it the ideal day-time glam foundation in our books.

Haus Labs Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm
Now those are cool tones! Haus Labs finally answered the girls’ prayers for a true contour product that does not add warmth to the face. Not that there’s anything wrong with warmth, but when it comes to playing with chiaroscuro, you definitely need colours that will mimic a shadow on your skin tone. Here, the Lady Gaga-founded brand has included nine contenders for our consideration. Judging by that range, we think we all got a shot at finding our perfect sculpting match. On top of the inclusive shade range, the stick features a blendable creamy formula that layers atop your complexion nicely without smudging the work you’ve put under it.

Givenchy Le Rouge Velvet Matte Lipstick
Sometimes, the joy of owning a lipstick comes in the form of pulling a chic tube from your makeup bag. In that area, this Givenchy lipstick delivers with its impeccably fashioned packaging. But within it is a delicious matte lip colour that provides lasting moisture and a juicy plumping effect to do away with the pesky cracking that we all tend to get with a drying formula. All that is packed into a slim bullet that is made for mistake-free application, and comes in 12 beautifying shades that are perfect for daily wear. If you’re on the hunt for a luxury lipstick, then this should totally be at the top of your shopping list.

Tatcha The Longevity Serum
Ageing is no longer a taboo word in the beauty world. Instead of focusing on reversing ageing, we are now moving on with the conversation; we are now looking into ageing well. With that aim in its crosshairs, Tatcha releases The Longevity Serum, one that works with the skin instead of against it. Scientists over at The Tatcha Institute are paying attention to cellular senescence, a point where a cell stops dividing and growing. These cells then begin to trigger inflammation, which in turn speeds up ageing. The serum, fortified with proactive ingredients to prevent senescent cells from developing, then prevents that potential ageing sequence altogether, keeping the skin resilient while delaying ageing in one go.

Innisfree Green Tea Ceramide Milk
Hydrating essences are all the rage at the moment, and we are hopping on the bandwagon. Whether you’re afflicted with chronically dry skin or are constantly exposed to air-conditioning, everyone needs a little sprinkle of hydration here and there. For that, Innisfree throws its hat into the hydrating ring with the latest drop, the Green Tea Ceramide Milk. It promises to flood the skin with immense moisture in three seconds, providing relief and barrier-reparative qualities in one fell swoop. The toner/essence hybrid can be used for those with an oily skin type, too. Since the formula absorbs into the skin rapidly, it won’t leave a heavy layer on the skin. Instead, a light layer of this, and you’re good to go—you could even be so bold and skip the moisturiser step with this.
