2025 Pantone Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse + Your SeneGence Makeup Options
The 2025 Pantone Color of the Year is here, and it’s a beautifully versatile neutral called Mocha Mousse. After a few years of bright and bold shades like Peach Fuzz, Viva Magenta, and Very Peri, this shift feels refreshing - a grounded, timeless color that’s perfect for the new year.
While those bolder shades brought energy and optimism when we needed them, Mocha Mousse is a color that invites calm, balance, and creativity. It’s a shade that feels effortlessly chic, making it ideal for makeup, fashion, and even home decor. I know some will find it “boring,” but I find it a refreshing base shade to build off of with endless opportunities!
Why Mocha Mousse Is Perfect for 2025
As a neutral with warm undertones, Mocha Mousse is incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for creating monochromatic looks or as a foundation to pair with brighter, bolder accents. I know some will find this color “boring,” but I find it a refreshing base shade to build off of with endless opportunities for either soft and natural or experimenting with color!
SeneGence Shades That Match the Trend
One great things about this color is many of us already have shades that will fit this trend in our makeup bags, but if you don’t, SeneGence has shades that align beautifully to fit with this trend! From eye shadows to lip colors, you’ll have options to help you achieve the perfect Mocha Mousse vibe. Let’s take a look at some of the options for each category.👇
LipSense Colors
A nude lip is always on-trend, perfect for any time of day, any day of the week! Who doesn’t love a fantastic nude lip color?! With LipSense, you have so many options to choose from!
Whether you prefer lighter shades for a subtle look or deeper dones for more definition, you can even amp up your style by linking your lips for a bolder finish.
Here are some of our most-loved long-lasting nude shades (4-18+ hours of wear):
Nude, Cappuccino, Dawn Rising, Creamer, Praline Rose, Precious Topaz, First Love, and Espresso LipSense. Or browse all our stunning neutral lip colors HERE to find your perfect match.
Lip Gloss Colors
Maybe a long-lasting lip color like LipSense isn’t your cup of tea. If you prefer something less “permanent,” a moisturizing lip gloss might be just what you’re looking for!
Lip glosses are perfect for on-the-go color while also keeping your lips hydrated. Wear them alone for a quick pick-me-up or layer them over your favorite LipSense color for extra shine.
Check out some of our tinted, moisturizing lip glosses that fit this color scheme: Caramel Kiss Plumping Lip Gloss, Velvet Matte, Valiant Vanilla, Runway Ready, Dazzling Dune, Honey Latte, Mimosa, and Sand Gloss. Or see additional brown, neutral glosses here.
ShadowSEnse Colors
Our eye shadows are what originally sold me on the SeneGence product line! I couldn’t resist an eye shadow that stayed on all day, didn’t smudge, and had anti-aging benefits.
ShadowSense colors are so much fun to play with, you can mix and match shades, blend them seamlessly, or create stunning monochromatic looks by using the same product across your face (eyes, cheeks, lips, etc).
Eye shadows to fit the trend of Mocha Mousse are simple with SeneGence, we have a plethora of options in this color family.
Here are a few options that fit beautifully with this palette: French Toast, Moca Java, Blissful, Garnet, Natural Tan, Woodland, Moca Java Shimmer, or Hot Chocolate. Or see a complete list of natural browns here.
