"We've always wanted to partner with Meta more deeply. WhatsApp is so widely used all over the world, and our community and accessibility are important to us."

"Fragrance, for instance, is pulling back. Instead of room-filling florals, it's jasmine and orange blossom worn closer to the skin, like in Orebella and Parfums de Marly's newest drops."

Microsphere powder is the magic behind that effect - it not only makes the formula feel silkier and easier to blend, but also gives it that signature powder dry down, diffusing light and making everything look airbrushed.

When pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter shared a TikTok video talking about her favourite lip balm, she described how it absorbs the lips' natural pH and "brings out this beautiful pink" and keeps them "super moisturised." The product went viral, as did the concept of pH-reactive make-up.

Yes, the purply-pink hue of a 1990s mother-of-the-groom's duster coat is now the height of chic on cheeks, lips and even eyes. It's just euphemistically called cool toned, which in practice translates as traditional nude makeup tones such as dark brown, caramel, taupe, pink and beige, customised with a mild mauvey tinge to reduce their respective temperatures.

Remember that viral TikTok showing someone's $500 skincare routine? I watched it three times, mentally calculating how many months of rent that collection represented. Then I looked at my own bathroom shelf, packed with Korean beauty products that cost me less than a nice dinner out, and realized something: My skin had never looked better, and I'd spent a fraction of what my luxury-brand-devoted friends had.

Like those, it scours our culture's incessant preoccupation with physical beauty, both the lusting for it and the lengths we will go to get and keep it. But The Beauty possess a mind of its own as it expounds on rich themes that Murphy's been interested in, mixing humor with black humor while he comments on sinfully glamorous lifestyles and the dark side of human nature and desire.

There was a big gap in the market. A lot of shades didn't complement our golden and olive skin tones. And as we age, our skin changes, but the makeup hasn't. A lot of makeup isn't infused with skincare. Especially for mature skin. I wanted to create something that enhances beauty while caring for it.

Danessa Myricks Beauty is the big story here," said Assayag, adding that the brand has nearly doubled its year-over-year VIT and maintains a notably high creator retention rate, with creators posting about the brands nearly six times a year on average. One of the most impactful posts in recent months was an August TikTok video by @april.byjoiles showcasing a seamless client shade match using the deepest shade of Danessa Myricks' Blurring Balm powder. The post garnered nearly 12 million views and 600,000 likes.

It's hard to admit, but I'm an influencer's dream audience - I'll buy anything if it looks cool enough. So when TikTok started blowing up with mini Huda Beauty pressed powder PopSockets in early January, I immediately checked to see where I could purchase one myself. Spoiler alert - or maybe you already know, since the stunt went viral - those tiny powders were just samples, designed to hype the real launch. Yep, I fell for it.

On TikTok, many people are pulling beauty inspo from these cute (and slightly creepy) toys, which were originally released in 1972. Blythe dolls have big eyes, pouty lips, and perfect makeup, plus really fun outfits, hairstyles, and accessories. Because there are so many versions of the doll - think a Fenty-level range of skin tones - it's said that everyone has a Blythe that looks exactly like them.

Skin-tone hair isn't about toning things down, per se. In fact, the switch-up can be just as dramatic as any other dye job. But instead of chasing contrast for the sake of change, it redirects that energy toward finding a color that actually works with your complexion - an individualized approach to a beauty trend that feels refreshingly rare on TikTok. The result? Hair that looks like it's made for you, even though achieving it is anything but a coincidence.

Basically, it's what happens when the siren versus doe eyes debate calls a truce - which, in an internet landscape obsessed with beauty standoffs, actually feels like the winning move. Softness has been having a moment across trends (see: blurred lips, ghost lashes, and everything described as "diffused"), after all. As spring leans into makeup that looks alive, the baby deer style feels like a natural next step. It's sweet but not too innocent, wide-eyed with a slightly sharper edge.

Two women, probably in their sixties, were debating whether to stick with their usual brands or try something new. "I've been using the same foundation for twenty years," one said, "but it just sits in my wrinkles now." Her friend nodded knowingly. "Mine makes me look like I'm wearing a mask." This got me thinking about how the beauty industry has evolved, yet somehow the biggest names-Revlon, Maybelline, CoverGirl-haven't quite caught up with what mature skin actually needs.

The appointment of Roan all grunge glitters, colourful face jewels and clumpy mascara celebrates the experimental, edgy and playful Mac aesthetic, and signals what may be the end of what industry figures often describe as the beige buffet of post-Covid fashion and beauty. Oh, the relief in seeing the back of all-over camel, in enjoying makeup textures other than perfectly smooth and glassy, the joy in a glinty eyelid or gemstone applied haphazardly and for no other reason but fun.
