These days, once a beauty product goes viral on TikTok, you may be hard-pressed to find it in stores and online. We’re still reeling from the days of the drop, when beauty brands would release a limited number of a new product with so much buzz that it would be snapped up in minutes, leaving us eager to spend on the next one. Sure, you can claim that you’re no beauty hypebeast, but sometimes you just can’t help but get caught up in the allure of a viral BeautyTok moment, especially when it features a brand you love.
If you didn’t catch all those TikTok videos of creators rushing into Target and Walmart, grabbing this powder foundation, trying it on immediately (gagging at the results) and leaving with an armful, you missed a moment. This compact had beauty lovers in a frenzy for months and for good reason; the sweatproof, waterproof, non-comedogenic formula glides on smooth like a liquid but dries down and stays put like a powder with a matte finish. You only need one swipe of the full-coverage foundation to cover blemishes. It barely stayed on shelves and in stock at that time, but you can get it now in all shades, just in time for the sweaty weather months.
For a foundation alternative that serves the needs of those who prefer less coverage or simply don’t want to bother with foundation when it gets really humid and sticky outside, reach for this viral tinted serum that had content creators wowed. The lightweight product can be applied with a damp sponge or with your fingers just like a skin care serum (note that this method is a lot messier though). And just like a skin care serum, it includes hyaluronic acid to help with hydration and moisture retention.
Another great way to get coverage in the summer without applying foundation, while giving your complexion some skin care TLC, is with a BB cream. This viral BB cream became popular for its ability to easily transform from a green primer to a flawless color match for all skin tones. The best part: It has a bare skin finish so even though your complexion will look radiant and flawless, no one ever has to know that you’re wearing makeup. It’s a no-brainer that people love this product.
We’ve known since 2013 that when you want sky high lashes without investing in the money or time it takes to apply false eyelashes, you reach for this cult classic. It gets the lengthened look you want every time and even gets to those tiny inner corner lash hairs that can be hard to grab with a thicker brush. This makeup bag must-have had a renaissance when TikTok creators discovered exactly what it can do — festival makeup will never be the same again.
As volumizing mascaras go, social media influencers can’t seem to get enough of this now viral drugstore favorite. It’s been called a dupe for a nearly $30 pick (making it less than half the price) because it performs just like a luxury mascara — and we totally get it. The formula is long-wearing, clump-resistant, smudge-resistant and conditions lashes while you wear it, so they don’t feel crunchy or hard when you take it off.
Since no makeup look is complete without a good lippie, this matte lipstick should be added to your cart, instantly. Praised for its saturated color that wears comfortably all day (thanks to hyaluronic acid) and soft, powder finish, it doesn’t make your lips feel dry like some other matte lipsticks do, making it a true must when you need a budge-proof lip color that doesn’t make you sacrifice comfort for beauty.
