TikTok has spoken! The beauty world is buzzing with wild new hacks that promise flawless skin, snatched features, and long-lasting makeup. But let’s be honest, not every viral trick is worth your time. Some are pure genius, while others? Well… let’s just say they should’ve stayed in drafts. So, which TikTok beauty trends are actually worth trying in 2025? Let’s break it down.

TikTok Beauty Hacks: What’s Worth Trying in 2025?

Some TikTok beauty hacks are genius. Others? Not so much. In 2025, new tricks are popping up every day, but that doesn’t mean they’re safe or smart. Let’s break down which hacks are worth your time and which should stay on the app.

1. Foundation in Water Hack – TikTok’s “Glass Skin” Trick

The Hack: Mix your foundation with water before applying for a smooth, poreless finish.

Reality Check: Mixing foundation with water actually works! The water thins out thick foundations and makes them look more natural and dewy. It also helps prevent cakiness. However, if you have oily skin, skip this one. The extra moisture might make your foundation slide off by noon.

Final Verdict: It’s legit! Just make sure your foundation is water-based, or you’ll end up with a clumpy mess.

2. White Concealer for the Brightest Under-Eyes

The Hack: Instead of using a light concealer, go full-on white for extreme brightness.

Reality Check: Applying white concealer can make your eyes pop and lift your features. However, applying too much can leave you looking washed out.

Final Verdict: Use with caution! White concealer is great for photos, but in natural lighting, it may look too harsh.

3. “Brow Mapping” with Tape for the Perfect Arch

The Hack: Use tape to outline your ideal brow shape before filling them in.

Reality Check: Using tape as a brow guide is actually helpful if you struggle with uneven brows. The tape provides a clear guide to create symmetrical arches. However, if your brows are already well-shaped, this step might be unnecessary.

Final Verdict: A solid hack! Just make sure to use gentle tape. Anything too strong can pull out brow hairs.

4. Setting Spray Sandwich – Locking in Makeup for 16+ Hours

The Hack: Spray setting spray before foundation, then again after finishing your makeup.

Reality Check: Layering setting spray before and after foundation is a game-changer! The first layer helps grip your foundation while the final spray locks everything in. Your makeup will last all day even through sweat and humidity.

Final Verdict: Absolutely try this! The sandwich technique helps your makeup last through long days or hot nights out.

5. Red Lipstick as Under-Eye Color Corrector

The Hack: Apply red lipstick under your eyes before concealer to cancel out dark circles.

Reality Check: Using red lipstick as a color corrector is technically correct based on color theory, but it’s usually too thick and hard to blend. A peach or salmon-toned corrector actually does the job better.

Final Verdict: Skip it! There are better and easier ways to brighten dark circles.

6. Vaseline + Powder for DIY Lash Extensions

The Hack: Coat your lashes with Vaseline, then dust translucent powder over them for a thicker, longer look.

Reality Check: This Vaseline and powder method can add volume, but it’s messy and impractical for daily wear. The powder tends to end up in your eyes, which isn’t great especially if you wear contacts. Also, Vaseline can make lashes clump together instead of looking fluffy.

Final Verdict: Not worth the hassle. A good volumizing mascara will give you better results with less mess.

7. “Reverse Contouring” – Blending Before Foundation

The Hack: Apply contour and concealer first, then blend foundation on top.

Reality Check: Applying contour before foundation actually works! It creates a softer, more natural sculpted look compared to traditional contouring. Reverse contouring also helps the foundation blend seamlessly over the high and low points of your face.

Final Verdict: Try it! Do this if you want a subtle, lifted look without harsh lines.

8. Lip Liner Over the Entire Lip – No Lipstick Needed

The Hack: Instead of just lining your lips, fill them in completely with lip liner for a long-lasting color.

Reality Check: Using lip liner instead of lipstick is a genius move. Lip liner is more pigmented and long-wearing than lipstick. Plus, it gives a matte look that stays put all day. If you want hydration, just add a little gloss or balm on top.

Final Verdict: Yes, yes, YES! This lip liner hack is also great for all-day wear.

Should You Trust TikTok Beauty Hacks?

TikTok is great for discovering new tricks, but not every viral hack is legit. If a trick simplifies your routine, it’s worth a shot. But if it feels like it adds to the struggle, don’t force it! Don’t let the algorithm dictate your choices. At the end of the day, it’s your beauty, so it’s your rules.

TikTok Beauty Hacks FAQs (2025 Edition)

1. Does the foundation-in-water hack actually work?
   Yes—if your foundation is water-based. It gives a smooth, dewy finish.
2. Is using white concealer better than a light shade?
   Only for photos. It can look harsh in natural light.
3. Can I really use tape for brow mapping?
   Yes! Just use gentle tape to avoid pulling out brow hairs.
4. Should I use setting spray before foundation?
   Yes—the sandwich method boosts staying power like crazy.
5. Is red lipstick a good under-eye corrector?
   Nope. It’s too thick. Use a peach or salmon tone instead.
6. Does Vaseline and powder work for fuller lashes?
   Technically yes, but it’s messy and not safe for eyes.
7. What’s the deal with reverse contouring?
   It softens the sculpt and blends better under foundation.
8. Can I use lip liner instead of lipstick?
   Definitely. It lasts longer and gives better color payoff.
9. Are these hacks safe for sensitive skin?
   Stick to gentle products. Some hacks aren’t skin-friendly long-term.
10. How do I know if a hack is worth it?
    If it saves time and works in real life—keep it!

Patchouli Oil

If you summer from regular acne breakouts and blemishes then this essential oil should be at the top of your list. For centuries patchouli oil has been used in countries such as Japan, China and Malaysia to treat skin problems such as dry skin, eczema and dermatitis. When used consistent it is also known to help eliminate stretchmarks.

Lavender Oil

These essential oils are renowned for their stress relieving benefits but many don’t know that lavender can soothe the skin and even help to fight acne.  You can add a bit of water to your lavender oil then apply it directly on the acne breakout. Lavender contains potent antioxidants that can also help to counteract environmental toxins that can affect the skin.  This oil can protect your skin against the damaging rays of the sun as well. If you suffer from horrible sunburn after a long day at the beach you can also apply some lavender oil mixed with coconut oil to sooth the affected areas.

Palmarosa oil

This oil is obtained from a tropical grass which grows in India. It is also known as Turkish geranium, rosha, motia, or Indian geranium. Whichever name you know it by, the main lesson is that it is very beneficial to skin health . It can be used to treat acne, psoriasis, as well as boils, abscesses and eczema.  It is also commonly used to moisturize the skin.

What is Dry Skin Brushing

|

The term is pretty self-explanatory; it is the act of using a specific type of brush to brush down the skin while it is dry. For this, you’ll need a natural bristle brush. There are quite a few synthetic options on the market these days, but I do not suggest using any of these!

Benefits of Dry Skin Brushing

Think of it as a detox for the skin. Remember that the largest organ is your skin and it requires just as much care and attention than the other organs. This is not just for the purpose of beautification, although it does exfoliate dead skin leaving you with a beautiful glow. However, there are health benefits as well.

1. Keep in mind that one-third of the toxins in your body are excreted through the skin. However, when the pores are clogged these toxins can’t escape so they remain trapped in the skin and can lead to health issues. Unclogged pores allow nutrients to enter the skin and you’ll notice an improved difference in the texture of healthy skin.
2. It increases blood circulation and helps to stimulate the lymphatic system
3. It helps to reduce cellulite

How to do it!

|

You’ll need to get naked inside your tub or shower. You don’t want to do this in your bedroom before you’re really brushing off dead skin which gets a little messy. Start brushing from the feet upwards in sweeping motions. It is suggested that you should always brush towards your heart.

Continue until you’ve brushed all areas of your body, some parts will be more sensitive than others. Once you’re done take a hot shower then pat your skin dry and use natural oil to seal in moisture.

You can do this twice a day, and remember to wash your brush with soap and water and allow it to air dry after each use.

DIY Skin Care Products and Recipes | Home Remedies for Healthy Skin Tutorial

1.Facial Steaming

Facial steaming doesn’t just open up your pores; it also prevents blockage, which can cause pimples. Facial steaming also helps you to shed the dead skin on your face, kills any bacteria on or underneath the skin, and it also removes makeup that might have been left behind even after using a facial wash. I would advise a facial steam at least once per week; you don’t want to do this too often, as it might dry out the natural oils in your skin.

Face Steamers of 2025.

2. Tea Tree Oil

This natural oil doesn’t exactly eliminate the pimples, but it can remove the spots or scarring that acne can leave behind. You’ll need to mix the oil with water and apply it to the spots daily to see results.

3. Honey

A half cup of honey mixed with some oatmeal makes for a great acne mask because honey contains antibiotics. You’ll need to let it sit on your face for about 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. The honey will also leave you with glowing skin.

4. Witch Hazel

This natural remedy can dry out the pimples that might pop up on your skin. Witch Hazel is in most pharmacies and beauty supply stores. Just soak some of the liquid onto a piece of cotton and use it to gently wipe your face twice per day, or as needed. If you use over-the-counter products, you can also read the ingredients and find toners, moisturizers, etc that contain witch hazel.

5. Lemon Juice

Lemon is great in more than one way, first, it can help to dry out pimples quicker. Second, if you apply it directly to acne marks it can eventually cause them to fade.

10 Bun Hairstyles for Short Hair- Video Tutorial

Blond Bombshell

One to always keep us guessing with what color she will choose next, I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Demi Lovato went full on blond and we must say it looks pretty good.
|

Seeing Blue

Demi is no stranger to bright colors and this time she opted for Blue. Not many people can pull off this look, but it’s fair to say that she certainly did.

|

Sexy Waves

This middle part with sexy waves has become the singer’s signature style as of late and we must admit it does fit her to a T.

|

Teal Ombre

When you’ve tried every hair color on the planet you have to start getting really creative and that’s just what Demi Lovato did with this teal ombre style. She didn’t go all out teal ( she’s done that already) She kept her blond locks at the roots.

|

Dark Lob with streaks

Demi Lovato did the big chop, or should we say the shoulder length chop going for a stylish lob (long bob). She also went super dark with her locs then added some honey blond streaks.
|

Super Short Bob

After the lob, the obvious next step is to go shorter right? Well, that’s exactly what the pop star did as evidence by this super short, textured bob which we love.
|

Purple tips and shaved sides

Okay so I couldn’t come up with a clever caption but the title says it all. The singer went rocker and edgy by shaving one side of her head ( ala Rihanna) and colored the ends of her hair in purple and grey.

Brown Bob

Demi Lovato kept it cute and classic with this short brown bob hairstyle that she debuted on social media.
|

Strawberry Pink?

Demi went for a darker shade of pink this time around.

A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on Mar 5, 2014 at 4:57pm PST

Redhead

The singer has been changing up her hair since she first became popular on the Disney channel many years ago. This throwback look shows a younger Demin rocking red voluminous locks.
|

Pretty in Pink

NO, we don’t mean a pink outfit, we mean pink hair duh
|

Short and Sleek

The former Disney star has transformed her look over the years, but her most sophisticated and mature look has to be this short slicked-back style that she wore to a red carpet event.
|

Updo

Color is one thing, but style is another and the pop-star completely looks like a Hollywood goddess with her auburn hair pinned up in a classic updo.

Super cute especially for the summer, this double bun can take 2 minutes to complete. Part your hair in two and create two flat twist at the front, on both sides. Use an elastic band to secure both sections then wrap the loose ends in a bun and secure with bobby pins.

3.Braided Bun

I can’t lie, this braided bun does require a bit of skill, but this photo tutorial breaks in down in simple steps. It really does look a lot more complicated than it actually is. This style works for a cocktail party or some sort of swanky soiree.
|

4.Bun With Headband

I absolutely adore these bun hairstyles that can be transformed with a colorful headband. You can choose whether you want a super high bun or a more centered bun. Secure your hair in a ponytail, wrap the ends in a tight or loose bun then top off the look with a headband of your choice. If you have short hair this works well because the headband keeps the short pieces intact.

|

5. Messy, half Up Bun

For days when you don’t have a lot of time to spend on your hair, but you still want to look chic and stylish. Just section off the top part of your hair and secure with a scrunchie then wrap the loose ends in a bun. Use your hands to loosen it up a bit so it doesn’t look too neat.
|

6.Bubble Bun

A very simple style perfect for a day at the office. You’ll need to start with clean curly hair. Just pull the hair into a high ponytail and strategically wrap the loose end around the top to create a bubble.
|

7. Sleek Low Bun

Talk about chic! This neat shiny bun is the ideal style for any and every occasion whether its work or play.
