Top 100 Cosmetics Trends in December

From Zero-Waste Lip Balms to Male-Targeted Fake Eyelashes

— December 11, 2021 — Fashion
The roundup of December 2021 cosmetics compiles the industry's most unique product offerings. Several cosmetic companies are turning towards untapped and high-demand fields to bring new products to consumers. Typically, the cosmetic industry targets women and their needs. Makeup and skincare and genderless in today's inclusive social climate. This gives way to new lines of male-targeted products.

LASHGOD has jumped into the male-targeted cosmetic field with the Fella Strip Lash Line. The eyelash beauty brand commits to inclusive beauty by launching vegan lash options for male-identifying people, available in four subtle styles.

While inclusivity is a central theme throughout this month's compilation, eco-cosmetics continues to grow in strength. The Hylo Ethical Lip Balm, for example, was created as an eco-friendly alternative with reusable and recyclable packaging materials to encourage eco-consciousness in the industry.
