In recent times, we have seen the rise of an aesthetic that emphasizes romantic, hyperfeminine, and youthful fashion with a hint of sensuality. Tagged Coquette beauty – the top beauty trend for 2023, features hair bows, Bambi eyes, and blush pink everything. a “coquette” is a lady who loves attention or praise without experiencing deep feelings.
It is the number one rising beauty trend on TikTok, with 1.7 billion views, and draws on themes of hyper-femininity and flirting. It has a high concentration of pink items spread throughout eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick, as well as delicate, simple skin, doll-like lashes, liquid liner, white eyeliner, and pearl finishes. If you’re determined to follow this trend, equip your cosmetic station with brands that come in pastel pink or with bow accents.
The coquette of 2023 is an extension of the 17th century archetype of the coquette, who has grown into her own authority. The look evolved from what Tumblr users nicknamed “nymphette,” a homage to the novel Lolita. The early 2010s version was about young ladies infantilizing themselves with ultra-girly fashion, but the 2023 version is the opposite.
True coquette beauty, according to TikTok and its creators and makeup artists, must include a lot of pink items, particularly eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick. While the eyes are brought to life with doll-like lashes, liquid liner, or white eyeliner, the skin is kept soft, basic, and set with powder. To give the high points of the face a pearl appearance, use iridescent highlighters.
Coquette hairstyles are a celebration of hyperfemininity and an abdication of constraints set on the style, with bows serving as an essential bit of jewelry.
We explain the trend and show you how to apply it to your hair, nails, and makeup.
