The Coquette Makeup Trend: A Hack for an Effortless Summer Look
Trying out TikTok’s Coquette makeup trend, I embarked on an adventure to achieve an easy summer look.
An Uneasy Word with Colorful Feathers
The term “coquette” feels slightly out of place in our modern times. It refers to a flirtatious woman who lacks sincerity, but it’s also a hummingbird variety adorned with vibrant feathery tufts – quite an interesting combination.
The Definition of Coquette
Despite my initial reservations, I discovered that the Coquette makeup trend is characterized by matte candy pink shades, retro 60s black eyeliner, false lashes for alluring eyes, and rosy blush for a hyper feminine appeal. Intrigued, I tried the trend and achieved a dreamy Lana Del Rey-like aesthetic, which surprisingly pleased me. However, the process took me 40 minutes, so I set out to find a quicker version of the trend. My solution? Applying a pink cream blush to my cheeks, lids, and lips (using Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pale Pink), and generously applying mascara. The result is not as coquettish as TikTok enthusiasts may prefer, but it’s definitely time-saving.
Reclaiming Beauty or Feeding the Male Gaze?
Whether this trend is about reclaiming beauty from the male gaze or inadvertently contributing to it is a subject of debate. It’s worth noting that many creators of this trend are young individuals, which reminds me of how 90s teen magazine beauty tips primarily focused on appearing cute and flirty to attract boys.
The Verdict
Regardless of the underlying intentions, I encourage you to try either version of the Coquette makeup trend. However, the standout aspect for me is the versatility of pastel pink, which complements all skin tones beautifully. This reason alone has won me over completely.
