In particular, the brand's 'Moonlight' skincare set consists of products that are marketed as 'Modern Light Shields,' providing protection against HEV and IR light emitted by electronic devices. The two-piece set includes a [Moonlight Primer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimodal-sheer-mineral-sunscreen), which protects against pollution, free radicals and heavy metals, as well as a [Brightening Serum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mitoaura-activate-amplify-serum) that helps to restore lustre and luminosity to the skin. Aside from all of these unique features, MAKE further stands out by emphasizing that these are a new generation of cosmetics for all genders. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Light Protection Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new skincare products that provide protection against HEV and IR light. - **Modern Light Shields:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative products that shield against pollution, free radicals, and heavy metals. - **New Generation Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design cosmetics that cater to all genders and offer unique features. ### Where This Applies - **Skincare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate light protection features in skincare products to cater to consumer demand. - **Beauty:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate in the beauty industry by developing cosmetics with light shielding capabilities. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with technology industry to develop products that protect against HEV and IR light emitted by electronic devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tech Protection Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-light-face-serum.md) - [Protective Antioxidant Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-light-elixir.md) - [UV-Blocking Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofina-ip.md) - [Daily Skin-Enriching SPFs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heaven-skincare.md) - [Protective Liquid Highlighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-protect-spf-50-liquid-highlighter.md) - [Protective Skin-Brightening Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tanologist-super-shield.md) - [LED-Powered Skincare Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanoleaf-beauty-products.md) - [UV Protective Luxury Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uv-protective-creams.md) - [Blue Light Barrier Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-light-defense-1.md)
