Feast your eyes on the tastiest beauty trends this season.
TikTok has been tantalising our senses with delectable food-inspired beauty trends for a while now, and it seems our appetite isn't satisfied.
From fresh, fruit-infused flushes to lips glossed in dessert-inspired shades, makeup has never looked or sounded so delicious. Whether you prefer something sweet, spiced or sun-warmed, there's a beauty look to suit every mood and complexion. Hungry to know more? Here is your guide to the most mouthwatering makeup trends everyone is serving right now.
STRAWBERRY SWEETNESS
THE LOOK
Popularised by Hailey Bieber on TikTok, the Strawberry Girl look is all about capturing that soft, juicy and sun-kissed freshness. Inspired by the summer fruit's bright red hue, it brings together luminous skin and playful shades of red and pink across the lids, cheeks and lips. The focus is on a blush-heavy, radiant complexion with shimmery highlights on the eyelids and cheekbones, glossy lips and a smattering of faux freckles to complete that naturally flushed, just-bitten glow.KEY COLOURS AND PRODUCTS
The palette centres around fresh pinks, ripe berry tones, rose blush and soft red tints, all paired with a glowy sheen that feels healthy rather than heavy. The goal is that "lit-from-within" radiance and skin should look natural and luminous, never matte or overly perfected. Cream textures are key for that "melts-into-skin" finish, from blush to lip tints, while light, luminous base products such as skin tints or dewy moisturisers help keep everything hydrated and radiant.
GET THE LOOK
• Start with a lightweight, glowing base. Tinted moisturisers or luminous skin tints are ideal to even out your complexion without masking it.
