If you’ve ever wondered about the latest beauty trends sweeping social media, TikTok is the place to look.
From creating sunburn-inspired looks to mixing foundation with water, the app is a playground for beauty enthusiasts experimenting with bold, quirky, and sometimes baffling techniques.
Let’s dive into some of the most talked-about trends to decide whether they’re worth the hype or just internet noise.
Beetlejuice Lips: A Creepy-Chic Lip Look
Inspired by the Beetlejuice sequel that hit screens in 2024, Beetlejuice lips have taken TikTok by storm.
UK makeup artist Sydney Purl popularized this look, using green lipstick and black eyeshadow to mimic cobwebs on the lips.
Makeup fans quickly embraced the trend, with many saying it’s the perfect Halloween look.
Interestingly, the technique originated as “zebra lips,” created by Portuguese beauty guru Luara Reisinger, who used white lipstick instead.
Heatstroke Makeup: Sunburn but Make It Stylish
A daring trend, heatstroke makeup replicates the flushed, sunburnt look using bright red blush.
This trend gained momentum after a GQ China photoshoot and has since amassed over 30 million views on TikTok.
Artists like Samantha Harvey have shared their take on the trend, creating tan lines and rosy chests with a strappy bikini effect.
While unconventional, fans are calling the trend “hot,” both literally and figuratively.
The OTT Foundation Method: Layering Like Never Before
Meredith Duxbury, a New York influencer, made headlines for her heavy-handed foundation application.
Her technique involves slathering 10 pumps of foundation on her face and blending it in with her hands.
While her skin looks flawless on camera, many users argue it’s impractical and cakey for everyday wear.
British TikToker Kristy Webley has joined the trend, often using an entire tube of budget foundation to achieve a similar look.
The Morning Shed: Sleeping in Sellotape
One of TikTok’s most polarizing trends, the “morning shed,” involves sleeping with sellotape on the face or silicone masks loaded with skincare products.
Advocates claim it helps with double chins and aging skin, but critics warn of discomfort and potential suffocation risks.
Popular elements include taping the mouth shut or pulling eyebrows upward to mimic a facelift.
Beard Dye for Eyebrows: High Maintenance Meets Low Effort
Influencers are embracing men’s beard dye to darken eyebrows for a long-lasting effect.
Liverpudlian TikToker Josie Peaches shared her experience, saying she initially struggled to remove excess dye but ultimately loved the results.
Paired with other hacks like satin hair wraps and tanning as contour, this trend promises to simplify morning routines for those who call themselves “lazy girls.”
Whipped Foundation: Mixing Makeup with a Twist
Whipping foundation into a mousse-like texture using handheld mixers is the latest TikTok experiment.
Beauty influencers claim the airy formula offers a lightweight feel, though reactions have been mixed.
Ling Tang, for instance, called the texture “weird” but ultimately appreciated the smooth finish.
Blush Blindness: Going All-In on Rosy Cheeks
Blush blindness is exactly what it sounds like—using so much blush that it’s impossible to see how intense it looks.
Inspired by Sabrina Carpenter, TikTokers are proudly embracing this maximalist makeup trend.
Over-the-top flushed cheeks are being reframed as fashion-forward, with many praising the bold and vibrant aesthetic.
Foundation in Water: A Skincare and Makeup Mash-Up
Mixing foundation with water has gone viral for its promise of dewy, hydrated skin.
Elle James tested the hack, adding foundation to water to create a congealed mixture.
The result? A non-oily, lightweight finish.
However, skeptics argue that it’s no different from using oil-free foundation, labeling the method as more fun than functional.
Are These Trends Here to Stay?
TikTok continues to redefine the beauty industry, offering a mix of practical hacks and eccentric experiments.
While some trends, like Beetlejuice lips, may be seasonal favorites, others, such as beard dye for brows, could stick around for their convenience.
Whether you’re all-in on bold looks or prefer to stick to the classics, one thing is certain: TikTok is the ultimate beauty playground.
