From choreographed dance videos to viral recipes, it definitely seems like there’s a short video for everyone - and Tiktok’s algorithm ensures that content is tailored to your tendencies. So, it’s no surprise that some of this year’s hottest beauty trends are coming straight from TikTok’s biggest influencers (here’s looking at you Charli d’Amelio & Holly H).
Hottest TikTok Trends
“No Makeup” Makeup
For the base, it’s all about primer, which gives your skin a more even finish and reduces the appearance of pores. benefit POREfessional is one of the most popular choices for all skin types, while Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer is an excellent option if you have dull or dehydrated skin that needs a radiance boost.
Follow with a BB cream, tinted moisturiser or light foundation to give your skin an even appearance and camouflage any imperfections. Clinique Even Better Glow Light Reflecting Makeup is a multi-award winner and allbeauty favourite thanks to its moisturising properties and added SPF15 + vitamin C, which protect against sun damage and renew the skin.
Finally, get that natural rosy glow with a TikTok cult favourite, benefit Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain. First launched in 1977, this beauty product has launched to fame over the last few years thanks to its natural finish and stay-power. Worn by women worldwide, try the original rose-hued Benetint or the pretty-in-pink Posie Tint.
Bushy Brows
With an invisible finish and strong hold, benefit Brows 24-HR Brow Setter lets you shape and set your brows for up to 24 hours. The clear gel formula not only tames hairs but locks in makeup too, making it ideal for pairing with your favourite eyebrow pencil.
Eyes That Pop
The natural look may be all the rage, but if you like a bit of colour, you’re in luck. Bringing back the eighties, another beauty look popular on TikTok is a bold eye, particularly with soft pastel eyeshadow shades and/or blue eyeliner. Thanks to this trend, most of the big names in beauty are bringing blue hues back into their range of liners, so you won’t need to scour discontinued lines to find your new fave shade.
Glossy Lips
While matte lipstick is the go-to during the colder months, once the sun comes out, it’s time to shine. You’ll see all the biggest beauty influencers on TikTok sporting gloss this season, the perfect accompaniment for a plump pout. Achieve the same look without the need for fillers with Dior Addict Lip Maximizer, which uses hyaluronic acid to moisturise and plump the lips.
Alternatively, try Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector for a sheer lip gel that gives a sleek, shimmery finish either over lipstick or on its own. This one smells delicious too.
TikTok Cult Favourites
It’s undoubtedly a great mascara, but that’s not the only reason Diorshow Lash Extension Effect Volume Mascara is proving so popular. Influencers have shown just how easy it is to make a ring out of the top of the tube. So, not only will you have enviable lashes, but you’ll boast a stunning Dior ring on your finger too.
The ideal bronzer for a natural-looking contour, benefit Face Hoola Matte Bronzer gives your skin depth without a hint of shimmer or shine. Subtle but buildable, this bronzer is ideal for daily wear or for a natural evening look.
