However, her latest artwork is inspired by creatures of the feline variety. In order to create the cat-inspired makeup art, Peleg begins by mixing pigmented powders with water and gel. This creates a paint-like mixture that stands out on the skin. She then paints the detailed artwork on her own face, using her eyelid and the surrounding eye area as her canvas. One of the feline-inspired creations features a cat with a ball of yarn, while another depicts a curious kitten peeking over her eyelid. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Animal-inspired Makeup Art:** Makeup artists are taking inspiration from animals to create intricate and whimsical eyeshadow creations, leading to opportunities for eco-friendly and cruelty-free makeup brands. - **Personal Canvas Art:** Artists are using their own faces as a canvas to showcase intricate art, opening new markets for personalized art commission services. - **DIY Makeup Kits:** As intricate makeup art becomes more popular, there is increasing demand for DIY makeup kits and tutorials to create these looks at home. ### Where This Applies - **Cosmetics Industry:** As animal-inspired makeup art rises in popularity, there are opportunities for cosmetics brands to create cruelty-free and eco-friendly makeup lines. - **Personalized Art Industry:** The trend of using one's own face as a canvas could create new markets for personalized art commission services and workshops. - **E-commerce Industry:** The growing demand for DIY makeup kits and tutorials presents opportunities for e-commerce platforms to offer these products and services to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coffee-Inspired Eyeshadow Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-kitten.md) - [High-Impact Eye Crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparklestik-eye-crayon.md) - [Painterly Eyeshadow Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-stylus-shadow-stick.md) - [At-Home Cat-Eye Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cateye-nail.md) - [Sculptural Beauty Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contour-and-highlight-palettes.md) - [Grungy Movie-Inspired Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-magic-beauty.md) - [Eyeshadow-Liner Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquideyes.md) - [Limited-Edition Spooky Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annabelle-cosmetics.md) - [Mermaid-Inspired Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-jewel-collection.md)
