Top Rated Beauty Trends

Prep

Start by nourishing the lips with a hydrating balm to smooth texture and create a plump, polished base for high-shine lips. To subtly enhance volume and definition, apply a lip stain to mimic natural dimension. Using a precise formula—such as the Stila Calligraphy Lip Stain, Wonder Blading All-Day Lip Stain, and Clarins Hydrating Water Lip Stain—gently define the cupid’s bow and the center just beneath the lower lip. Sweep a touch of stain along the top and bottom edges of the lower lip, then connect the points with a fine stroke through the center. Lightly blend with a lip brush to diffuse the edges and create soft shadows that make lips appear fuller, smoother, and naturally sculpted.

Gloss

After prepping and subtly defining the lips, it’s time for the signature shine. Vinyl lips are all about a high-impact, glassy finish, so reach for a luxurious gloss to transform your base into a statement-making pout. Clear formulas—like Anastasia Beverly Hills Crystal Gloss or DIBS Beauty Go To Glossy Balm—deliver a pure, mirror-like shine, while tinted options, such as Too Faced Lip Injection, provide subtle color payoff. Sweep a generous layer across the lips, and keep your gloss close throughout the day—this trend thrives on regular touch-ups to maintain maximum gloss, polish, and modern sophistication.

In the realm of glamour, conventional wisdom often nudges us towards embracing one trend at a time. However, the beauty of creativity truly shines when we defy these norms. Social media, especially platforms like TikTok, continuously unveil novel beauty looks and techniques, presenting a myriad of opportunities to experiment and innovate. It would be a missed opportunity not to dive into this ever-evolving pool of trends. Whether it’s indulging in skin flooding for a luminous complexion or defining brows with a bold accent, we’ve handpicked a curated selection of highly-rated beauty trends that surprisingly harmonize with one another.

A flawless appearance starts with your base prep and lately, we have been obsessed with skin flooding. This process involves layering skincare products in a particular order for deeper, longer-lasting hydration. After thoroughly cleansing your face, layer a hyaluronic acid-based serum to help bind moisture to the skin. Once absorbed, follow up with a second serum that contains niacinamide to boost your complexion. Finally, complete your skin flooding with a heavy-duty moisturizer. All of the above will ensure your base is smooth and supple for seamless makeup application.

Your eyebrows singlehandedly frame and shape your face which is why it’s beneficial to start with this area first. Use Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencil and gel to craft a perfectly manicured set of brows. Don’t be afraid to go bold because this will help to define your features. From there, complete your makeup as you would normally. When it’s time to apply some color to your complexion, integrate the blush draping technique, it is essentially just contouring with blush rather than bronzer. This gives the illusion of higher, sharper cheekbones to make your makeup stand out.
