TikTok truly does encourage everyone to get more creative. This beauty hack makes use of a fake tan to tint the outer edges of your lips to make them look fuller and more natural-looking.

Ice facials
@danahassonn how I use the ice popsicle ✨ ##iceontheface ##icefacial ##YouGotThis FOLLOW MY TWITTER: danahassonn 🦋
Ice facials are great for eliminating redness, shrinking pores, helping to depuff and stimulate circulation. While some may prefer to use plain ice cubes on their faces, the fancier ice globe facial massagers make it easier to target specific areas of the face. Plus, it’s extremely cooling which makes it a summer essential.

Faux freckles
@sarah_novio Reply to @karmas_child Freckle technique @freckbeauty @morpheofficial @ciate ##fauxfreckles ##makeup ##makeuptutorial
They were big last year and TikTok has decided that faux freckles are still going strong this year! Freckles do tend to become more prominent due to sun exposure and, given that we’re all basically striving for a sun-kissed look, it makes sense that it’s a recurring trend. Thankfully, it also means that there are way more faux freckle pen options out there on the market, so there’s no need to break out the henna.
