If you are on TikTok, you would know that makeup trends spread like wildfire. The ‘Marinated Makeup’ trend is now doing its rounds, bringing back the “Y2K” nostalgia. Watsons, Asia’s vibrant and much-loved beauty concept store in the UAE, has compiled top product picks to experiment with to nail the latest TikTok trend on the block.
Let’s break down this trend and decode the term ‘marinating’. What you will need? Patience. This grungy glam look requires a carefully selected set of makeup essentials to blend well with natural skin oils. As opposed to the clean girl aesthetic of painting the foundation on your face, this look requires barely any foundation. This is a ‘no makeup’ look with a focus on the eyes.
How to Use Marinated Makeup and What It Is
Instead of that heavy duty or polished style, the movement is centered about creating the “lived-in look.” There are several options. You do not need to take any additional steps to achieve this makeup look. Simply apply your makeup as usual and wait one to two hours for it to “marinate.” Your naturally glowing appearance will result from the oil and sweat that have accumulated on you. You are prepared to start.
