Internet Beauty Trends to Try During Isolation
We’re living in a digital world now more than ever, so it’s only right that a ton of new trends, challenges, and hacks flood our timelines! You may be getting a bit overwhelmed, so we’re here to help you out. Check out a few of our favorite latest internet beauty trends to try out and add some fun to your isolation routine!
The #PillowChallenge
A pillow… but make it fashion. Originated by @stylebynelli, this is probably the easiest of all trends and takes very minimal effort. Just grab your favorite pillow, wrap a belt around your waist, add some accessories, and BAM, an iconic lewk for a scroll-stopping Instagram post!
#Passthebrush challenge
Grab your glam besties, that one makeup brush you have that isn’t dirty, and get ready to hit record! Do a funny before shot of your natural, beautiful self, rub the brush in the camera, and reveal the glam version of yourself. Warning: this does require a lot of coordination with your friends about which way to throw the brush. So be prepared for the group chat to blow up at all hours of the night.
Think of it as a personal isolation makeover! Not only is it a fun way to bring a community together, but it’s nice to get dressed up and feel like yourself again.
Mirror challenge
You’ve likely already taken pictures in every corner of your home and are running out of options. Switch it up with the mirror challenge! Lay a mirror on the ground, add some cute decorations around it, and snap a pic at your best angle. If you have a balcony or yard, this is a great picture to take on a sunny day with the sky as the background like @ashghotcakess!
TikTok beauty hacks
TikTok is full of beauty hacks, challenges, and makeup routines. One of the best hacks we’ve learned is from @snitchery, who has changed our selfie game forever.
Ever wonder why the way you look in the mirror isn’t coming across the same way in your selfie? Turns out using the front camera of our iPhone to take selfies distorts our features! Instead, hold the phone as far away as possible from your face and zoom in. Try it out and let us know if it steps up your selfie game!
