Every month, NellyRodi beauty experts tell you about the most interesting trends on TikTok. Here’s what happened in October 2022!

MISSING PERSON

The PhlurMissingPerson hashtag has garnered around 4.5 million views on TikTok. The backstory: the Phlur brand’s Missing Person fragrance promises to replicate the scent of someone you miss. On TikTok, users describe the strong feelings that arise when they try it out. Within five hours of its launch, 200,000 bottles were sold at $100 each. TikTok users love to watch, and especially share videos.

BROWNIE GLAZED LIPS

With esthetics from the 2000s making a comeback, the brownie glazed lips trend is all over TikTok, and the GlazedLips hashtag has hit 2.7 million views. The technique involves outlining lips with a brown crayon and then covering them with clear lip gloss. The promise is even fuller lips without injections.

The lip combo, used by Hailey Bieber, has sparked numerous debates on TikTok. The technique is inspired by black female hip hop and R&B icons, and Bieber has been accused of cultural appropriation. TikTokers love debating, giving their opinions, and choosing sides.

TOO LAZY TO BE “THAT GIRL”

The ThatGirl hashtag has accumulated 7.2 billion views on TikTok. It covers videos of extremely healthy and clean lifestyle and beauty routines. Since internauts love playing with irony, it’s now That Girl’s turn to be criticized. The Duet app lets users refuse filters and stay closer to reality while finding fault with this perfect girl.

More and more skin experts are using TikTok and sharing increasingly precise messages.
