Concealer lips may make a comeback in beauty trends

Social media trends are showing a nostalgic revival of beauty styles from the 2010s. Gen Z, known for poking fun at Millennial trends, is now noticing one specific beauty look: concealer lips. This makeup style, which minimizes the appearance of lips, is contrasted with the bold and glossy lip looks preferred in recent years. Fashion runways have sparked interest in this trend. Shows from brands like Kiko Kostadinov and Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood featured models with pale, muted lip colors that draw attention away from the lips while highlighting their eyes. This shift could signal a move toward more understated beauty looks. Celebrities are also embracing this emerging trend. Sofia Richie and Gabbriette have been seen using concealer to achieve a natural lip appearance, blending it with gloss or balms to maintain a fresh look. For those wanting to experiment with concealer lips, starting with a small amount of concealer is suggested. Pair it with a lip gloss or a soft lipstick to create a subtle effect. This revival speaks to a broader pattern of older styles making a comeback, reminding us that past looks can feel new and relevant again.
