Food-Inspired Beauty Trends from 2023 That We Still Love
Some of the biggest makeup trends of the past year sound like they were plucked right off a delicate menu. Our insatiable beauty hunger ranged from glossy donuts and rosy strawberries to warming mocha lattes, and even in 2024, we continue to embrace the most beautiful food-inspired looks.
These trends have been particularly memorable and continue to be trendy.
Glazed Donut Manicure
Hailey Bieber is considered one of the greatest muses when it comes to food-inspired beauty trends. Particularly memorable is her hyped Glazed Donut Manicure, which has been providing numerous shining highlights on our nails since her appearance at the Met Gala 2023. The mother-of-pearl nail design effortlessly balances nonchalant chic and upscale casualness with its iridescent shine. This trend look can also be created at home by using highlighters or shimmering eyeshadows instead of professional chrome powder.
Strawberry Girl Look
Like a true beauty influencer, Hailey Bieber supplied us with more than just one food-inspired makeup trend last year. With her naturally sweet strawberry aesthetic, the model leads a true rouge renaissance, granting us a softer, more youthful look.
Chocolate Hair
Whether it's Dark Chocolate Bouclé or Kitty Brunette – chocolate-colored hair is and remains a big trend in 2024, converting even the most loyal blonde. Everything is allowed from multidimensional styles to subtly shimmering looks, as long as it's tantalizing.
Cherry Mocha Nails
Towards the end of the year, there was hardly a social media platform that wasn't obsessed with Cherry Mocha Nails. The subtly sensual shade conquered our For You Pages by storm and has since been indispensable from our fingertips. If you've been painting your nails since the 90s, you might recognize this shade, fluctuating between dark red and violet, reminiscent of a real black cherry, from the then-popular vamp looks.
Latte Makeup
Here to stay is also the trend surrounding popular latte makeup. The warm, soft glam look focuses entirely on muted nude shades and rich brown tones, giving us a sun-kissed beach complexion all year round and reminiscent of steaming milk coffee.
