JAKARTA - For the past few times, the clean girl style with a natural look has dominated the beauty trend on social media. However, the trend is now starting to shift to a more daring and striking makeup look.
Most recently, lips with striking colors and artistic details are increasingly appearing on social media to fashion runways. This trend is known as fantasy lip art, a style of lip makeup with a combination of contrasting colors, metallic effects, and a touch of glitter.
Quoted from Allure, Saturday, March 28, 2026, this trend began to dominate amid the popularity of the previously popular natural style. Fantasy lip art comes as a form of makeup that is freer, no longer just emphasizing a natural impression, but also creativity.
"This trend is like moving in the opposite direction of the clean girl style," says makeup artist, Alexandra French.
The trend of fantasy lip art does not appear for no reason. The emergence of this trend is influenced by the makeup style in the past which is now popular again.
"This trend is rooted in nostalgia for youth, play, and the desire to express yourself," explains makeup artist, Julia Edwards.
The popularity of fantasy lip art is not only seen on social media. This trend is also increasingly dominating the fashion stage and the entertainment world.
Like Willow Smith who appeared with striking metallic lips on the Dior runway some time ago. At the Prabal Gurung show, models appeared with bright red lipstick combined with glitter.
The presence of this trend on various big stages shows that this style is not just an experiment, but has become part of the main trend in makeup.
"We are in a time when people are more daring to take risks in makeup," concludes makeup artist Rowi Singh.
