TikTok is basically a beauty lover’s Disneyland; a place to discover viral Amazon beauty products, keep tabs on the latest glam trends, and learn every expert application technique under the sun. Our editors are constantly testing the best TikTok beauty products — including the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil and Milk Makeup Jelly Tint — to determine which coveted makeup, skin care, and hair care products are worth your hard-earned money.
On TikTok, millions of users post amateur product reviews, demos, and shopping hauls across all beauty categories — and these videos are resonating with beauty lovers of all ages. According to a 2024 Adobe report, tutorials are the most popular content category on the app, where 40% of Americans use TikTok as a search engine, and younger user groups are overwhelmingly more likely to make a purchase based on TikTok recommendations. A 2022 survey revealed that 75 percent of those purchases were reported to be satisfactory, and that beauty content in particular influences 89 percent of the TikTok’s total users to add a new product to their cart. #Makeup on TikTok has racked up a whopping 640 billion views, with general beauty views garnering 290 billion, and chatty routine-style #GetReadyWithMe videos at over 203 billion views.
Beyond amateurs, the TikTok community has attracted a range of beauty industry professionals who reveal their expert tips and tricks, including Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber’s makeup artist Mary Phillips, Pati Dubroff, who Sofia Richie tapped for her wedding makeup, and Melissa Murdick, the makeup artist behind many of Selena Gomez’s most popular beauty looks. Other top experts, from leading dermatologist Dr. Joyce Park to celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, are also on TikTok to shed light on beauty myths and share at-home tips for beauty lovers.
TikTok has become an invaluable tool for top makeup, hair care, and skin care brands to introduce social media shoppers to all the latest beauty products.

Essence’s Lash Princess False Lash Mascara has been a TikTok beauty favorite for years because it creates a super dramatic lash effect for an affordable $5 price tag. #EssenceMascara has 266 million views on TikTok, with users raving about their lashes. And this top mascara has also earned over 242,00 five-star reviews on Amazon. The product promises to define and separate lashes for sculpted length and volume without any clumps. Ditch the falsies — this is one of the best drugstore mascaras on the market.
Editor testing and review notes: “I’m a huge fan of this mascara and I’m due for a repurchase. I strive for my lashes to look super dark, thick, and long, and this mascara surpasses prestige products I’ve tried in the past. The conic wand shape really helps you coat each little lash and the formula is effortlessly buildable. In the summer, I switch to the waterproof version for maximum staying power.”
What testers say: “I’ve tried a lot of mascaras of all price ranges. Essence Lash Princess is by far the best mascara I’ve ever used! It separates the lashes, makes them fuller, and I’ve had so many people ask if my eyelashes were fake while using this product. The price point is amazing for the quality you get! I’ll never use another mascara again.”

TikTok is abundant with hair styling tricks that simplify beauty routines — and heatless curlers continue to stop users mid-scroll. The Satin Heatless Curling Set from Kitsch is a user-tested gem that curls hair overnight to reveal loose, bouncy waves in the morning. With this clever tool, damp hair is wound around the bendable rods and secured in place to hold shape while you sleep for heat damage-free styling. The satin fabric is gentle on hair, so you won’t wake up with any frizz or creases.
Editors testing and review notes: “I’ll admit that I had to watch tutorials over and over again to figure out how to use this heatless curling set. But once I finessed my technique — wrapping small pieces of hair outwards from my face — I finally nailed it. I mist some leave-in conditioner on nearly dry hair before using this set, and I wake up with healthy looking hair that requires no hot tools.”
What testers say: “This thing is awesome. I have very long, bleached hair and I try to avoid heat as much as possible. This works better than a curling iron for me and holds the curl all day. I put it in before bed (dry hair works best for me) and take it out when I wake up and my hair is done for the day. I was super surprised at how well this works! One word of advice — you’ll need to secure the top with a clip while you wind the hair, so make sure you have one handy.”

Editor testing and review notes: “The Dyson Airwrap is one of the best investments I’ve made for the health of my long, curly, and color-treated hair. After years of consistent use, I’ve noticed less damage and breakage, and haven’t had to compromise on my favorite hair looks.”
What testers say: “Curl, straighten, and blow out — this tool can do it all. My hair has never looked better. When I create curls they stay all day and when I straighten my hair its left so silky. The tool for body created more volume than I have ever achieved. My normal hair time is fine and always frizzy, but not anymore. It was super easy to learn how to use and within a week I was able to master several styles.”

If you want a sun-kissed glow without absorbing harmful UV rays, check out these beloved Bronzing Drops from Drunk Elephant. Used by viral beauty stars on TikTok like Earle, this bronze-toned serum can be mixed with moisturizer for an instant complexion boost and temporary face tanner. It’s also good for the skin, because it protects from pollution and stressors in the air with added antioxidant benefits from vitamin D. It has over 102 million TikTok views for #BronziDrops, and the brand is beauty royalty on the app with 4.4 billion views of #DrunkElephant.
Editor testing review notes: “I’m a Fitzpatrick 1 skin type — as pale as it gets. So I always struggle to find a bronzer that warms up my skin without looking orange or streaky. These drops are just the thing: I mix them with my moisturizer and massage it onto my skin, and voila, the vampire gets a glow up.”
What testers say: “I definitely understand the hype now. This is such a fun product. I mix it with my moisturizer when I’m doing a no makeup day and I love the end result! It’s definitely very sheer, but buildable if you’re looking for more color. I really don’t like wearing makeup much in the summer, so I can already tell this is going to be an everyday go-to for me.”

Glowy makeup looks are a major trend on TikTok this year, and the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter is the one of the most popular products for building a radiant look from the ground up. It’s not quite a foundation, nor a primer, but rather a versatile and hydrating skin base product with a blurring and brightening effect, inspired by social media photo filters. You can wear it alone to even your skin tone and add a sheen, mix it with foundation, or layer it over your face makeup for more coverage and radiance. The brand itself is a TikTok sensation, with the term Charlotte Tilbury earning viewer counts that reach 4.2 billion.
Editor testing and review notes: “A dewy look can be hard to achieve if you have dry skin like me. Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter makes me look fresh off of a facial, imparting moisture and light-reflecting shine for healthy and happy skin.”
What testers say: “I love this so much. It gives you an amazing glowy look and has the perfect little bit of coverage. It looks flawless under foundation or with nothing else on top. I’m obsessed.”

What testers say: “This formula is amazing and 100% worth the hype, easy to blend, and a little goes a long way! It is not patchy and doesn’t pick up foundation. It’s my favorite blush because it’s lightweight, can be built up, and is beginner friendly! This blush lasts all day.”

What testers say: “This is an amazing scent for someone who does not like a really heavy perfume. Similar notes to Juliet Has a Gun’s Not a Perfume but with a bit more body to it. The scent is light, refreshing and perfect for the spring and summer.”

K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask

Amazon Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.5/5 stars
$75
K18 promises that its Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask clinically reverses damage in just four minutes — and it’s cult-level status may just verify that high claim. Suitable for all hair types and textures, its highly concentrated, vegan formula is jam-packed with peptides to smooth split ends, repair moisture, and deposit healthy bounce into your strands, as its molecular structure seeps deep into hairs to bond broken keratin chains for added elasticity. You can apply it from roots to ends after shampooing and skipping conditioner, or wear it in a protective style like a braid or slicked bun during the day to rejuvenate color-treated or heat-damaged hair.
Editor testing and review notes: “I was first introduced to K18’s hair mask long before it went viral on TikTok. In 2020, a hairstylist recommended it to me to repair visible damage on my hair after a few balayage sessions and frequent use of hot tools. This mask has been a part of my routine since — it’s the only hair product that seems to seal split ends and make my hair feel stronger despite everyday styling with a flat iron and hair dryer. It’s also so easy to use, as it’s a leave-in mask you can apply right after shampooing in place of conditioner.”
What testers say: “After using this product I must say it did miracles on my hair and completely repaired it… I also use it the hair oil now as well!!! I will use this forever!!!”

BEST HYDRATING LIP GLOSS
Rhode Peptide Lip Tint
Rhode Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.5/5 stars
$16
This lip balm doubles as desk-side accessory on TikTok — and it went viral just as soon as any other designer handbag, nail polish art, or freckle pen Hailey Bieber posts. Aside from its chic, minimalist squeeze tube, this ultra-wearable sheer tint deeply hydrates the lips as a swipe-on-and-go treatment, thanks to skin-loving ingredients like shea butter, plumping peptides, cupuaçu, and babassu oil. It works as a super shiny gloss too, so, like Bieber, you can use it as a topper over your favorite lip liners and nude lipsticks for the perfect plush pout.
Editor testing and review notes: “Whenever I’m in the mood for a little but of sparkle on the lips, but in actuality need a healthy dose of hydration, this is the first thing I reach for. Apart from my trusty lip masks, this is one of the most hydrating lip products I’ve cycled in during the past few months. It has a serum-like feel on the lips that sinks right in after application — even the tinted options don’t transfer after I smack my lips together a few times.” — Sullivan
What testers say: “Absolutely in love with all Rhode peptide lip products – nourishing, shiny, and not sticky on the lips. Definitely my favorite lip products!”

Then, lift off the cap to reveal a dual-sides brush and comb to lay the hairs down and sculpt your shape.
Editor testing and review notes: “This brow product is like a Swiss Army knife for my arches: It has a spoolie for quick grooming and two combs that help detail and shape my brow hairs. The formula provides a soft hold that keeps my brows in place without a crunchy, glue-like feel. I’ll roll the tube on my brows after applying the gel for more of a laminated look.”
What testers say: “Finally — a brow gel that works! If you want a more laminated look that STAYS, try this! I tried a couple other similar gels that make the same claim before buying Refy, but the hold lasted maybe 15-30 mins. This one stays all day for me. I like to apply before foundation!”

Struggle with frizz? Consider this #1 bestselling mist a humidity-shielding raincoat for your hair.

Mist it on damp hair before styling, and enjoy all the gloss.
Editor testing and review notes: “I have naturally curly hair that I prefer to wear smoothed out most days, and this is the only product I can count on to keep my strands sleek when it’s humid outside. I’ve turned all my friends and family onto it, too.”
What testers say: “I’ve never left a review on Amazon before but I had to! I was going to a concert and needed my hair to hold up all day and night, so I decided to give the product a proper go on my 4b/4c hair. I washed my hair, applied this liberally, blow dried, then flat ironed my hair. I did not add ANY additional product. I waited outside for hours, I was sweating, dancing, it was hot and humid, and my hair did not revert.”

Laneige’s lip mask is a must-have, and it comes in four sweet flavors to try out for yourself.
Editors testing review notes: “To be totally transparent, I didn’t have high expectations for this lip mask, but I can say with certainty that it’s worth the hype. This little jar saved my full lips during the dry winter season. It’s not sticky, yet the consistency is comparable to jelly, and the product holds for a substantial amount of hours. I’ve had several friends try it and each one of them rushed to purchase this Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask for themselves.”
What testers say: “This stuff works! The only lip product I have used that instantly gets rid of my chapped lips. I bought the vanilla one for my boyfriend and he loves it too. The colors are pretty and the scent is really nice. My lips feel softer and more hydrated after using.”

Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint Lip + Cheek Blush Stain
Sephora Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$24
The Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Stain stands as one of the most viral new makeup releases of 2024, as it racked up millions of views and over 160,000 hearts on Sephora’s Loves List upon debut. While a jiggly, jelly bomb product may read gimmicky on your phone screen, this product is actually worth its hype, as it applies as a long-lasting, natural looking stain for those no-makeup-makeup days. It’s a great product for summer travel too, given its dual-function, small packaging, and sweat-proof staying power.
Editor testing and review notes: “I was skeptical to put a product on my face that more so resembled a nostalgic candy from childhood, but Milk Makeup’s Jelly Tint is actually super refreshing. It feels cool to the skin and offers potent color payoff. Keep in mind that, like any stain product, you have to blend the color out quick to avoid patchiness. Its wear power is impressive, as I applied a wash of color to my lips in the morning, and about five hours later they still displayed a just-bitten tint.”
What testers say: “Okay I love this. You have way more control compared to the liquid stains or tints. It stays on all day and is very comfortable. It hasn’t broken me out and it hasn’t dried out or gotten a weird texture. I’ve been using it for a couple weeks and it’s wonderful!”

Supergoop! has been a sun-care favorite for years. TikTok users love the Supergoop! GlowScreen as an illuminating or bronzing base that also has you covered in the SPF department. It now comes in four pearlescent shades — the brand just launched two new options for fair and dark skin tones — that prime the skin for makeup application while distributing essential SPF 40.

Editor testing and review notes: “I always have a bottle of Supergoop!’s GlowScreen on hand.

It works like a primer under makeup but also makes my skin look radiant on its own.”
What testers say: “This is my new holy grail. It makes me look like I have glass skin and such a natural glow. I feel so much more confident when I use this and a little goes a long way.” Another wrote, “I will never go without this product again!

Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
Sephora Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$36
Patrick Ta’s blush duo went viral on TikTok during the summer of Barbiecore, in particular for the “She’s Giving” poppy blue pink, and, as the weather turned colder, beauty lovers on the app turned to a true obsession with the deep berry “She’s Wanted” shade. But aside from this bestselling blush’s rich range of 11 shades, the magic lies in the powder and crème technique that’s unique to the brand founder and makeup artist. In fact, #PatrickTaBlushTechnique has 3.5 million views in its own right. Here, Ta breaks the makeup rules, by applying powder first, and following it up with the deeper crème color included in the compact. “It brings the skin back to life, and when you layer two textures together, it allows the blush to last that much longer,” Ta says in a TikTok. Whether you use them separately or layered together, it’s an amazing deal, because you technically get two highly pigmented blushes in one.
Editor testing and review notes: “I couldn’t resist snagging ‘She’s Giving’ during a Sephora sale after I saw it all over my FYP, and it’s just as beautiful in person. I’m always wary of cake face with it comes to adding wet products over powder, but I quickly learned to never question the genius of Patrick Ta. While the powder applied incredibly pigmented, it was super easy to diffuse with a fluffy brush, and a gentle dab of the cream on top gave my cheeks a lit-from-within glow I haven’t found with any other blush. Plus, the mirrored rose gold packaging looks stunning on my vanity, and for $36, you technically get two blushes in one.”
What testers say: “I’ve gotten many compliments on how good my blush looks! It’s very pigmented and it does last a long time. So worth the money.”

#NailTok is singing the praises of press on nails these days, as users prefer to DIY their claws at home, rather than paying hefty salon prices. Whether you’re a self-taught nail tech or a mani novice, Glamnetic’s popular press on nails are among the easiest to apply. They come in several different shapes and sizes to match your nail preference, and the brand regularly releases new, adorable designs to match major trends.
Editor testing and review notes: “I keep a large assortment of press on nails in my rotation, but my favorite brand to wear is Glamnetic. They’re quick to apply, offer 24 nail sizes for multiple sets, and come in some of the most adorable nail designs I’ve ever seen. They usually last me well over a week, whether I’m going about my normal work schedule or away on vacation, and always earn me big compliments.”
What testers say: “I am a super busy person and do not have time to get my nails done. I was also super tired of paying the ever-increasing prices at the nail salon. These nails are so incredibly sturdy and feel like real acrylics. They’re arched so that they grab the nail with the glue to adhere evenly — not to mention the colors are adorable. They were super easy to apply and since you can place them close to your cuticle, they will look like a ‘new’ set even with little growth. I’m going on a week since I applied and haven’t lost one. They feel like they will never come off!”

Benefit’s Benetint is one of the brand’s longest-running hero products, and it’s trending all over again on TikTok — to the tune of 570 million views. The magic of this product lies in its versatility and super natural effect, as it can be applied to the cheeks or the lips for a just-pinched or bitten stain. It’s long-lasting, buildable, easy to apply, and won’t leave you feeling dry. Pack it in your makeup bag as a two-in-one product for travel, layer it under your favorite powder blushes or glosses, or incorporate it into your go-to “clean girl” makeup routine for a lightweight pop of color.
Editor testing and review notes: “I’ve been using this product for years and years — it never steers me wrong. It’s doesn’t dry fast or leave patchy color like other stains I’ve tried, and I love how easy it is to blend with my fingers (which I found to be the best application method). The formula is very thin so it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything on your skin. Matching your lips to your cheeks will always get you the most natural all-over flush, and I’m obsessed with results whether I’m wearing the classic rose shade or the pinky Floratint.”
What testers say: This is a must have if you are into blushes! I love this blush so much!! It gives such a pretty natural blush stain. You can apply as little or as much as you want to give whatever pigmentation you desire. I also like the smell of this product, the fresh, floral scent is so calming and you can also apply it to your lips. Love!!”

Tarte Shape Tape Radiant Medium Coverage Concealer
Ulta Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$32
If you follow internet beauty trends, chances are you bought the viral Tarte Shape Tape concealer years ago at the height of its hype. Since then, Tarte expanded the collection with this new Shape Tape Radiant Medium Coverage Concealer, which poses as a luminous spin on the cult-favorite cover-up. If you rely on the original concealer for acne, don’t let the medium-coverage claims scare you — this one maintains the same staying power, blendability, and weightless feel, with especially natural and hydrating coverage.
Editor testing and review notes: “I’ve been using the OG Tarte Shape Tape Concealer for years, so I was hesitant to stray from a tried a true. But I’m so glad I did. I have combination skin, which gets especially dry in the winter months, and this concealer not only infuses healthy hydration upon application, but goes on to brighten and smooth my overall complexion. I grab for this concealer when I can’t be bothered for a full-face of foundation, and apply it from my undereyes to discoloration in my T-zone and on any sporadic blemishes that catch me by surprise. I love that it allows my natural freckles to shine through, and find that it locks in place for a full day of wear — even when I shed a tear or break a sweat. It blends like a dream, doesn’t look cakey, and is the backbone to the range of glowy or glam makeup looks I want to create.”
What testers say: “I love the original Shape Tape Conclear but I’ve noticed that as soon as you put it on, it dries very quickly and gives me more full coverage. This is perfect for anyone who likes skin tints and natural looking makeup.”

Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System
Amazon Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.5/5 stars
$295
$295
The Shark FlexStyle has racked up 713 million views on TikTok to date and has made waves for its reasonable $299.99 price point, compared to other all-in-one hair tools. The hype for the Shark FlexStyle hair dryer is well-earned and editor-approved, because it allows you to choose between two attachment bundles that are uniquely-tailored to your hair type, including options for curly and coily hair or straight and wavy hair. Each of these sets comes with four attachments that swiftly dry and style your hair in loose ringlets and voluminous waves. The FlexStyle also functions like a high-powered blow dryer. Some hair tools claim they can replace all of your straighteners, curling irons, and hair dryers — the FlexStyle actually can.
Editor testing and review notes: “Shark’s FlexStyle is in a league of its own; there’s no other tool on the market that works as well as a multipurpose styler as it does a classic hair dryer. The only downside to this tool is potential snagging of hair where the attachments meet the nozzle, and the weight that some of the attachments add to the device.”
What testers say: “I have never been great at styling my hair —I just never really got the hang of it. This is so easy to use! I love how it looks from freshly curled to how it relaxes over the next hours and days. When I use a curling iron my hair just falls flat but with this, it stays styled for days. I would definitely recommend this for anyone that is hair challenged or just wants a do-it-all multi-wonder tool.”

These days, it seems like everyone and their mother is dipping into the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes eyeshadow palette. Every few years there’s an undeniable eyeshadow palette hit on social media, and the celeb makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic, created the perfect neutral rainbow of creamy powders. This collection of 12 shades are entirely matte in finish, with a mixture of cool and warm tones in essential shades from bone-white to pitch black.
Editor testing and review notes: “For everyday makeup, matte, neutral eyelids are my go-to. Makeup by Mario’s palette provides so many options that range from subtle to statement-worthy: All of the colors in this palette deliver dynamic color payoff, as they’re easy to diffuse out for a soft look or pack on for something more bold. I love how light the shades feel on my eyelids and the fact that they never crease.”
What testers say: “This is very very pigmented, not chalky, and has no fallout at all — which I love so so much. I would buy the product again for sure. Also the mirror is so clear and pretty, it’s perfect!”

E.l.f. Cosmetics is an ultra-popular affordable makeup brand on TikTok that’s constantly releasing new viral hits. The Power Grip Primer boasts 150 million views on the app for its cooling gel formula and soft focus, smoothing effect. It has a unique gripping texture that holds makeup in place for hours with unparalleled staying power. It’s one of the best makeup primers for foundation, and it features hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin on contact. With over 14,700 five-star Amazon ratings and such an affordable price tag, the E.l.f. Power Grip Primer is a must-try.
Editor testing and review notes: “For only $10, this primer delivers as much makeup-gripping power as some of the top prestige options on the market. The tacky texture secures your makeup in place no matter the weather, and prevents your foundation, eye makeup, and bronzer from budging even if you’re an eye-rubber or lean on your hand frequently. Best of all, it doesn’t feel overly sticky or suffocating on the skin.”
What testers say: One customer said, “I wanted to see what all the excitement was about. I’m now a convert. I recently had one of the worst days of my life. I was sweating and crying and wiping my face all day. When the day finally calmed down, I got a chance to check my face. My makeup didn’t budge. Cannot recommend enough.” Another wrote, “I bought this after seeing a lady on TikTok talk about it and I have to say I am impressed. It goes on pretty easy and helps the skin feel hydrated and plump under make up. Highly recommend.”

BEST FOUNDATION FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation

The Triclone Skin Tech Foundation from Lady Gaga’s beauty brand Haus Labs became an instant TikTok blockbuster upon its release and one of the best foundations on the market. With over 10 billion views on TikTok, this star complexion product currently sits at the top spot of Sephora’s foundation bestseller list. Formulated with fermented arnica and herbal extracts, the lightweight and blurring makeup works to instantly soothe irritation and redness underneath. A healthy dose of BioFerment 7 Complex, a blend of nourishing antioxidants, acts as a barrier to shield the skin from outside stressors, while over 20 skin care ingredients give this serum foundation a flexible, comfortable feel. “Our products, even though they’re made with amazing skin care, are artistry products,” said Lady Gaga in a Haus Labs’ TikTok video. “So, you’re never sacrificing performance. This is meant to elevate your artistry, and make being an artist something that’s also nourishing for your skin.”
Editor testing and review notes: “Haus Lab’s foundation has quickly become my favorite. It’s lightweight, extremely spreadable, easy to blend, and melts like butter. It delivers a radiant, luminous, hydrating, healthy-looking complexion — what’s better than that? It also claims to be long-lasting, and I can attest that it truly is. The foundation is suitable for all skin types, but I would recommend those with oily skin make sure they set their face. Overall, this product makes my skin look filtered — I’m obsessed. Pro tip: a little goes a long way.“
What testers say: “This is the thinnest, most weightless foundation I’ve ever tried! I never like how foundation feels on my face but I don’t even notice when I wear this foundation. On top of that it still has medium coverage and a very skin like finish.”

Love the laminated brow look but not quite ready for the commitment? The brow exerts at Anastasia Beverly Hills has you covered with this strong-hold brow wax that dries clear and keeps hairs in tip-top shape. You’ll just need a spoolie brush to comb the product into your brows and freeze them in place.
Editor testing and review notes: “Bushy brow girl here! My hard-to-tame brows grow thick, dark, and heavy, so I’m always hesitant to try clear gels as they can dry as ugly white flakes. Upon first application of this product, my fears were realized, as I loved how clean and tidy my brows looked, but didn’t enjoy the less-than translucent wear. However, I wanted to give it another try and went straight to the Sephora review section and watched TikTok reviews. The key here is a little goes a long way — as long as you use a light hand, the ABH Brow Freeze is ideal for achieving a laminated brow effect with ease.”
What testers say: “This is really helpful for my thick brow hairs that don’t grow in the right directions. I can see the jar lasting me for quite a while. Make sure to portion the amount so there won’t be flakes!”

Beauty products often gain overnight popularity on TikTok for their unique textures or finishes that sparkle on camera. The Urban Decay 24/7 Moondust Eyeshadow in the shade Space Cowboy is a phenomenon on the app with 18 million user views. The color is a light champagne gold with silver sparkle that glimmers with each blink. Apply a concentrated dot on the center of your eyelid and inner corners of your eyes for major glow, or dab it on with a damp brush for a liquid gold effect.
Editor testing and review notes: “I was recently getting ready with a friend and she insisted I top my eyeshadow look with a dab of this Space Cowboy shade she discovered on TikTok. While I already had a hot pink look going on, I gave it a go and it instantly gave my eyes a wet sheen I’d always loved in editorial makeup. I had to order it immediately and I use it all the time for extra sparkle.”
What testers say: “This color in particular is INSANE. I kept seeing Space Cowboy in my TikTok feeds, so I finally bit the bullet and bought it. It’s perfection — a glittery and gorgeous wash of color that is buildable and as perfect a color on the eyes as in the pan.”

If you do a lot of scrolling on the makeup side of TikTok, you’ve likely seen many videos of glam girls dotting their faces with the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand. This liquid bronzer deposits with a sponge-tip applicator and melts into the skin with a brush or sponge for a sun-kissed glow. It fits in small areas of the face, such as under the cheekbones, the sides of the nose, or at the temples, to add strategic shadow as a contour. Available in Fair/Medium or Medium/Dark shades, its buildable pigmentation and quick application is bound to simplify your face-sculpting routine.
Editor testing and review notes: “This contour wand deposits a liquid formula that’s so easy to blend and build up around my hairline and on my cheeks. Unlike other contour products, this one has a little glow to it that makes the faux dimension look all the more believable. The applicator can leak a little, but otherwise it’s an essential for a dewy makeup look.”
What testers say: “Holy grail product for me that I won’t be without now. I’ve found some drugstore dupes, but nothing blends like Charlotte’s. Other products definitely take more work. I use the fair/medium shade, which gives me a healthy glow, and I often get compliments about ‘doing something right.’ Someone said I had a ‘twinkle’ this year at Christmas, and I honestly believe it’s the glow from using this bronzer. Anyway, I truly pray that this is never discontinued.”

Saie’s Glowy Super Gel, particularly in the shade “Sunglow” is a mainstay in counteless “get ready with me” makeup routines. It functions as a liquid bronze multipurpose illuminator that, rather that infusing a blinding reflection like typical liquid highlighters, brings a subtle tint to the skin and natural-looking radiance. It can be applied where you’d put bronzer for a sun-kissed glow, or mixed into complexion products to boost radiance and hydration.
Editor testing and review notes: “This liquid highlighter is sheer and smooth, and I find is best mixed with moisturizer, liquid primers, or base makeup for a subtle lit-from-withing glow. The warm Sun Glow shade is considered a dupe for Drunk Elephant’s Bronzing Drops, though I think that’s a bit of a reach, as it doesn’t inject a tan upon application on its own. It adds a natural, radiant glow and gives a hydrated finish to the skin.”
What testers say: “I love this SO MUCH. It leaves a perfect, lightweight glow that stays all day. Amazing!”

TikTok Viral Beauty Trends 2024
TikTok users are constantly refreshing their “For You” pages and beauty routines with techniques that make everyday glam easier.
Skin Care Trends:
On the skin care front, “skin flooding” is one of the most popular complexion trends to come out of the app. Also referred to as “moisture sandwiching,” the technique involves a four-step routine which layers ultra-hydrating products to quench skin for a healthy glow: Washing the skin with a hydrating cleanser, spritzing a heavy mist of facial water spray, following up with hydrating serums, and, finally, apply a rich face cream to lock in all that moisture.
Another popular trend boasting billions of views is called “skin cycling,” which entails planned application of active ingredient products, particularly retinoids and anti-aging serums, in order to maintain a healthy skin barrier and reduce overexposure. It’s often recommended as a four-day routine, where for two days you’d apply the products at nights, and then omit them in your routine for the remainder of the cycle.
Facial tool routines like dermaplaning and lymphatic drainage have also prompted beauty lovers to expand their skin care routines. Dermaplaning, often done with a fine, gently blade, involves softly shaving the skin to remove peach fuzz and facial hair, while also performing a deep exfoliation treatment that sloughs off dead skin and reveals a smooth surface for better skin care absorption and makeup application. Lyphatic drainage massages, which can employ a gua sha, jade roller, or just your fingers, is a tradition Chinese technique that reduces puffiness, facial tension, and pushes skin care products into the skin, leaving behind a more chiseled appearance.
Makeup Trends:
Glowing makeup looks have been an enduring trend of recent years, mainly due to the minimalist Gen Z aesthetic that celebrates natural beauty and healthy skin. Innovative complexion products like liquid highlighters, bronzing serums, barely-there skin tints, and rosy cream blushes are popular because they’re user-friendly and appear less harsh than powder finishes.
In 2024, beauty TikTok is loving the “underpainting” trend popularized by Phillips, who’s known for her work on the famous faces of Jennifer Lopez, Camila Morrone, and more. The technique inverses the typical makeup steps by applying cream products first, such as contour, blush, and highlighter, and softly blending foundation on top. Its purpose is to create the illusion of naturally defined features so that the makeup is barely detectable to the untrained eye. #Underpainting has 254 million views on TikTok, where many videos show users who are skeptical of covering their careful makeup application with foundation, before falling in love with the soft-filtered end result.
Although matte finishes haven’t made a full comeback quite yet, strategic setting powder application is still important for a flawless finish, especially for brightening the under eyes and masking dark circles. Beauty creators experimented with bright pink blush in the early months of 2023 by mixing either cream or liquid formulas with their concealers and setting powders for a blown-out flush à la Kylie Jenner. Over 16 million users have searched and viewed #blushundereye, and the viral trend went on to inspire newly released pink setting powders from brands like One/Size and Laura Mercier.
Hair Trends:
At-home salon blowouts are having a major moment on TikTok, too, with beauty lovers stocking up on hair dryer brushes, high-tech hair dryers, and even traditional velcro rollers and curling irons. Tool systems have become overnight TikTok sensations, thanks to user demos and recommendations, like the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler, which stands at a jaw-dropping count of 5.9 billion views on TikTok, and the Shark FlexStyle Hair Dryer at 530 million TikTok views. Wispy trending haircuts such as curtain bangs and face-framing layers parallel coveted hair tools to achieve maximum volume, effortless bounce, and smooth shine.
Similarly, at-home hair hacks are trending amongst heatless curl products and techniques. While TikTok users are constantly formulating high-glam routines with the newest products, they’re also looking for tricks to simplify regimens for daily convenience and to hone in on hair health. Sleep-in blowouts using silk rods, velcro rollers, or even sock curl tutorials are hot on the app right now, with over 5.8 billion views under #heatlesscurls. The trend has elevated Kitsch’s Satin Heatless Curling Set to be a #1 bestseller on Amazon, along with leave-in hair conditioning products from K18 and Color Wow.
