Feeling like your makeup game is a lil’ lackluster lately, bb? Not to worry. We’ve searched all over TikTok to find the summer makeup trends that’ll transform your warm weather beat to all-star status. Peep our product recommendations too. We’ve got you covered from high street to high end.
Blush Nose
How to recreate at 🏡: Start by baking the sides of your nose with a loose translucent powder. With a light, fluffy brush, sweep your fav powder blush along the bridge of your nose and the sides to give your nose a wash of colour. Finish with applying blush of the highest points and apples of the cheeks to even out your complexion.

Face Gloss
How to recreate at 🏡: Apply a dab of gloss to the highpoints of your face, where sunlight would naturally touch it. Less is more with this technique, bb. Remember you can always add more on. Make sure you double cleanse with an oil based cleanser followed by a cream cleanser.

Snatchural
How to recreate at 🏡: Made popular by Lily-Rose Depp and her classic Chanel look, start by applying your usual base (you can follow Mary Phillips‘ one-layer makeup technique). Next, apply brown eyeshadow all over the lid and add eyeliner and lashes. This look will make your eyes ~pop~ no matter what colour they are, giving you the *snatch* without any excessive layers to keep it au naturel.

One layer
How to recreate at 🏡: There are two main parts to this TikTok trend, namely Hailey Bieber’s signature spot concealing and Scott Barnes’s underpainting. To start, contour first with a cream product then apply concealer and foundation to the remaining areas. Then, use a full-coverage concealer to cover any pigmentation or spots. Leave it to dry a bit before blending. This method is 🔑 to giving the illusion of clear skin.

Dream Girl
How to recreate at 🏡: Inspired by Selena Gomez, focuses on applying blush just below your eyebrows, while also creating bright eyes and doll-like lashes. Apply a heavy dose of blush to your eyes, cheeks and the tip of your nose. Keep in mind blush placement depends on your own face shape.
