Ordinarily, lip products are sold with wand applicators that feature flocked tips that help to absorb and softly apply various lip products. Thanks to the use of a new material called Mucell, the 'Beautifull Lips' collection introduces innovative, sensorial applicators that are not only non-porous but also more hygienic than usual. The micro-injected thermoplastic elastomer used to create the applicators gives cosmetic brands the chance to create applicators that are uniquely shaped to best suit the needs of a formula. While the Donut applicator has cavities that capture a formula, the asymmetrical Seashape applicator helps to create a [precision finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geka). Other unique applicators include the Russian Doll, which offers three benefits, as well as the Facet applicator for exfoliating formulas and the Spatula for specifically [hydrating lips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifter-gloss-honeyd). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Non-porous Applicators:** The use of non-porous materials in applicators offers a more hygienic and efficient way to apply cosmetics. - **Innovative Lip Gloss Applicators:** New designs and materials in lip gloss applicators provide unique application experiences and improved functionality. - **Custom Shaped Applicators:** Cosmetic brands can now create applicators with unique shapes that are tailored to enhance the application of their formulas. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can take advantage of non-porous applicators to offer more hygienic and innovative lip products. - **Plastics:** The plastics industry can explore the use of micro-injected thermoplastic elastomers for the production of innovative applicators. - **Beauty Technology:** The beauty technology industry can develop new designs and materials for lip gloss applicators to enhance the beauty application experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spatula-Style Skincare Applicators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quadpack-serenity-tube.md) - [Touchless Skincare Applicators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-applicators.md) - [Sensorial Lip Jellies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydra-jelly-pocket-lip-jam.md) - [Precision Beauty Droppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neodropper.md) - [Fingerprint Application Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingermimicking-makeup-applicators.md) - [Innovative Mascara Applicators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-mascara-applicator.md) - [Recontouring Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-flip-shimmer-gloss.md) - [Dimensional Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-volumizing-gloss.md) - [Jelly-Inspired Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshian-glasslike-lip-jelly.md)
