MakeUp in Los Angeles is proud to announce the continuation of its partnership with the international trend forecasting and consultancy agency, Cosmetics Inspiration & Creation, for a unique animation: The Forecasting and Innovation Corner (K49).
For this edition, the agency will spotlight 4 Beauty Trends, host 2 Beauty Talks, and present their celebrated Inspiration Bar, featuring innovative products sourced from all around the world.
With innovation driving the conversation, attendees are invited to book a seat at the Inspiration Bar, where the Cosmetics Inspiration & Creation team will decipher cutting-edge product concepts gathered from around the globe. Guided by the agency’s Chief Inspiration Officer, Leila Rochet, the Beauty Talks will unite industry leaders to explore the transformative trends shaping the future of beauty.
The theme of the agency’s 2025 forecasting report is: The Age of Resonance: A New Era of Interconnected Beauty
“The beauty industry is undergoing a profound transformation, evolving into an experiential and emotionally resonant journey where wellness, inclusivity, and self-expression intersect. Beauty is no longer just about appearance; it has become a powerful medium for creative self-expression, personal joy, and alignment with individual values.
Around the world, we are witnessing groundbreaking innovations that not only reflect these shifts but actively empower individuals to connect with beauty on their terms.”
Leila Rochet, Chief Inspiration Officer of Cosmetics Inspiration & Creation
Cosmetics Inspiration & Creation invites attendees to explore 4 key Beauty Trends and gain insight into the transformative themes redefining the beauty landscape:
1. Adaptive Futures: The visionary alignment of technology and beauty
Technology, biotechnology, and AI converge to propel beauty’s evolution into a space of ultra-precision, personalization, and self-augmentation. Advanced devices, lab-grown ingredients, and digital extensions will seamlessly blend to deliver new, boundary-pushing experiences. Beauty will become a dynamic, future-ready force that combines the microscopic scale of biotechnology innovations with the expansive possibilities of virtual identities.
2. Deep Reconnection: Honoring nature’s rhythms
Driven by a profound need to find the center point in an increasingly chaotic world, demand will grow for emotionally grounding experiences and ethical products that honor both the environment and cultural traditions. Drawing from ancestral rituals and environmental preservation, this trend celebrates the fusion of culture, humanity, and nature with an emphasis on fostering pure, elemental connections. With consumers increasingly prioritizing ethical sourcing and sustainability, brands must align their values with these deep-rooted assertions.
3. Life in Movement: Celebrating physicality and purpose
The physical body regains its powerful significance as a reminder of human resilience and potential. The image of a strong, sculpted body shaped by effort, movement, and purpose becomes highly prized, particularly under the growing influence of athletes and sports stars. This trend highlights the need for beauty that connects physicality, protection, and adaptability, celebrating the body's resilience, and ability to engage with the demands of modern life.
4. The Culture of Delight: Joyful anchors in an unpredictable world
Amid societal uncertainty, beauty products become emotional anchors, helping individuals reconnect with themselves and others. With an emphasis on nostalgia, creativity, and tactile joy, this trend celebrates self-expression and the power of small everyday pleasures to uplift and inspire. Beyond mere aesthetics, it highlights a cultural shift where the treat economy, emotional design, and sensory tactility transform beauty and luxury into meaningful experiences.
