Top 100 Cosmetics Trends in 2023

From Plant-Based Body Washes to Squalane-Powered Liquid Primers

— January 21, 2024 — Fashion
This past year has showcased how the industry has adapted and evolved to meet the diverse needs and desires of beauty enthusiasts. From roll-on arnica serums to sculpting LED skincare tools, this list of trends in cosmetics for 2023 is influencing how consumers think about beauty in the coming year.

For an all-in-one eyelash solution, Younique's QUADRA is a tubing mascara with a remarkable four-in-one formula. Serving as a primer, serum, and lash lengthener, this vegan product is enriched with performance ingredients such as peptides, plankton extract, biotin, flaxseed extract, and chia seed extract.

For fresh, blemish-free skin, the new Foreo skincare device is the Kiwi derma, a microdermabrasion pore vacuum designed to extract impurities deep within pores. This skin-smoothing device enhances overall skin tone and texture, while also firming and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
