The post garnered nearly 12 million views and 600,000 likes.
Yes, the purply-pink hue of a 1990s mother-of-the-groom's duster coat is now the height of chic on cheeks, lips and even eyes. It's just euphemistically called cool toned, which in practice translates as traditional nude makeup tones such as dark brown, caramel, taupe, pink and beige, customised with a mild mauvey tinge to reduce their respective temperatures.
It's hard to admit, but I'm an influencer's dream audience - I'll buy anything if it looks cool enough. So when TikTok started blowing up with mini Huda Beauty pressed powder PopSockets in early January, I immediately checked to see where I could purchase one myself. Spoiler alert - or maybe you already know, since the stunt went viral - those tiny powders were just samples, designed to hype the real launch. Yep, I fell for it.
In 1994, when the grunge aesthetic gripped the nation (chokers, combat boots), the make-up artist Heidi Morawetz created Le Vernis Rouge Noir. There and then, backstage at Chanel's Autumn/Winter ready to wear show, she mixed black and reds until the shade emerged - a perfect blend of rebellion and conformity; not too black, not too red, not too bold, and not too boring.
"I'm like an oil painter," Carolina Gonzalez tells me mid-glam. "When you think you've blended enough, blend some more." I'm sitting in her chair, testing out the reformulated Luminous Silk foundation - which the Armani ambassador swears by - and it hits me that I'm getting the same treatment as Gigi Hadid, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Sabrina Carpenter. Her clients see the biggest stages and carpets in the world, and if they're not painted to perfection, you'll know. That's why skin is Gonzalez's signature.
Patrick O'Brien, retail research director at analytics firm GlobalData, said Barry M had failed to innovate and had instead been "more reactive". He told the BBC the company had also struggled as, despite being stocked in well-known retailers, it faced increasing competition from other brands at similar prices. O'Brien said Barry M had become "a small brand in a sea of new and fun names, which are generating traction through social media marketing".

On TikTok, many people are pulling beauty inspo from these cute (and slightly creepy) toys, which were originally released in 1972. Blythe dolls have big eyes, pouty lips, and perfect makeup, plus really fun outfits, hairstyles, and accessories. Because there are so many versions of the doll - think a Fenty-level range of skin tones - it's said that everyone has a Blythe that looks exactly like them.
There was a big gap in the market. A lot of shades didn't complement our golden and olive skin tones. And as we age, our skin changes, but the makeup hasn't. A lot of makeup isn't infused with skincare. Especially for mature skin. I wanted to create something that enhances beauty while caring for it.
Skin-tone hair isn't about toning things down, per se. In fact, the switch-up can be just as dramatic as any other dye job. But instead of chasing contrast for the sake of change, it redirects that energy toward finding a color that actually works with your complexion - an individualized approach to a beauty trend that feels refreshingly rare on TikTok. The result? Hair that looks like it's made for you, even though achieving it is anything but a coincidence.
The appointment of Roan all grunge glitters, colourful face jewels and clumpy mascara celebrates the experimental, edgy and playful Mac aesthetic, and signals what may be the end of what industry figures often describe as the beige buffet of post-Covid fashion and beauty.
