Moving away from the heavy brows of past seasons, this [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club) Japan feature instead focuses on [artistic eyeshadow applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palettes-of-beautifying-eye-trends). In addition to smudged and glossy liner and shadow looks, this dramatic editorial also highlights makeup applications that appear to have been stenciled on -- a snakeskin eyeshadow print is one of the editorial's most eye-catching examples of the season's experimental cosmetics. In addition to highlighting dynamic makeup looks, this Vogue Japan story, starring Sasha Luss, boasts a warmer wardrobe that consists of structured wool jackets that are displayed in a [monochromatic palette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25). Rather than just featuring solid black and white garments, this editorial spotlights textural and organically patterned pieces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artistic Eyeshadow Applications:** Opportunity for innovative makeup products and techniques that allow for intricate and artistic eyeshadow looks. - **Experimental Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation in cosmetics industry by introducing unique and unconventional makeup applications. - **Textured and Organically Patterned Pieces:** Potential for fashion industry to create garments with unique and eye-catching textures and patterns. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty:** Opportunity for beauty brands to create innovative makeup products and techniques. - **Fashion:** Potential for fashion brands to design garments with unique textures and patterns. - **Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation in the cosmetics industry by introducing unique and experimental makeup applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-End Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign.md) - [Eye Makeup Product Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-makeup-product.md) - [Eyeshadow-Liner Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquideyes.md) - [Sculptural Beauty Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contour-and-highlight-palettes.md) - [Bold Eyewear Collection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club.md) - [Vibrant Upscale Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-spring-2025.md) - [Clairvoyance-Inspired High-End Makeup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clairvoyance-makeup.md) - [Bold Creamy Eyeshadows Pensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-eyeshadow-pencil.md) - [Silent Drama Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypnose-drama-mascara.md)
