Say hello to the Pantone colour of 2025

If you’re present on any kind of social media, you’ve likely noticed the rise of the “Mocha Mousse” trend. Named colour of the year for 2025 by Pantone, this rich, warm shade offers a grounded alternative to last year’s peppy, coral-toned “Peach Fuzz.” Think of it as the meeting point of the “Latte Girl’s” minimalism and the “Cinnamon Girl’s” cosy warmth—it creates a subtle but sculpted look without the starkness of traditional contouring.
The trend is especially flattering on Indian skin tones. Think of it as a nod to the 90s, with its coffee-toned contours, deep brown lip liners, rich chocolate eyeshadows, lipsticks and more. The goal is understated definition—enhancing your features while keeping the overall effect natural. If you’re looking to recreate this look, we’ve rounded up a selection of products to help you achieve the Mocha Mousse aesthetic with ease.
