To say TikTok has taken over in the past year would be an understatement—thanks in part to us all spending more time in our homes in 2020, TikTok has skyrocketed to social media domination. It has quickly matched (or even overtaken, depending on who you ask) Instagram's level of influence over our style, beauty, and spending habits. It has the uncanny ability to not only set trends, but make them blow up at record speeds. TikTok regularly causes products to sell out thanks to viral posts of enthusiastic reviews and tutorials.
So if you're looking to test out a new beauty trend in 2021, TikTok is your go-to. TikTok beauty trends are on a whole other level, really leaning into fun aesthetics that don't take themselves too seriously. Since TikTok loves a bold beauty look, I feel completely confident saying that the below eye shadow looks I've stumbled upon recently are destined for TikTok fame. Keep scrolling to see the coolest colorful eye shadow looks that are guaranteed to blow up.
Not only is this eye look insanely cool, it also feels surprisingly doable. Since the line between the two metallic shades is relatively soft, even those without wizard-like makeup skills can re-create something similar.
This might be the coolest eye look I've seen all year. I'm patiently waiting for someone to film a TikTok tutorial so we can all try this one out.
This pretty blue shadow feels new and cool for summer.
Hello, date-night look! This soft, iridescent shadow look draws all of the attention to your eyes without overtaking them.
I never thought I'd want raspberry eye shadow, but here I am adding it to my cart. This pop of a single bold color on the lids is easy to create and adds an unexpected twist to your beauty look.
See what I mean about destined for TikTok fame? This look featuring neon-blue shadow with negative space is a bit too advanced for me, but I'm definitely here for the tutorial once it's available.
Nothing says summer like a light-coral hue. This soft-pink eye look is perfect for any occassion, but I'll most likely be re-creating it for a brunch with friends.
This mix of color, metallic, and a subtle "wet" look is the trifecta of eye shadow looks.
A pop of pink plus a subtle fox eye has hot girl summer written all over it.
Sage green has been a major trend for a while now, so it only makes sense it's moved from fashion to beauty. This pretty shade makes any eye color pop.
