If you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of TikTok beauty content, you’ll know that it’s the best place to discover the latest skincare trends, watch quick-transitioning makeup tutorials, and be served with authentic reviews of under-the-radar products which (thanks to the hashtag #TikTokMakeMeBuyIt) are guaranteed to go viral.
From a K-beauty colour correcting treatment to an affordable acid peel, and featuring brands such as Laneige, Dr Jart+, NYX, Olaplex, and e.l.f. we’ve rounded up the most hyped-up beauty products on the app.
1. Bubble Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturiser Creme
Aside from its rich, skin-quenching formula, this moisturiser is beloved by TikTokers for its packaging – which allows you to mix the creamy formula with other products. Users recommend tinted bronzing drops for glow or a face oil if your skin is extra dry.

With their colourful packaging and fruity fragrances, Sol de Janeiro’s body sprays have become part of a ‘gotta catch them all’ hype. TikTokers recommend starting your collection with Cheirosa 68 – it’s hailed as a dupe for a certain well-known (and very expensive) luxury fragrance…
