Social media has become the world stage for beauty brands, as viral videos, influencer hot takes, and user rave reviews can catapult a product to popularity overnight. Of course, “hot on TikTok” isn’t necessarily a predictor of efficacy or payoff. So, Harper’s Bazaar has cut through the noise to determine which buzzy beauty darlings are truly poised to become icons. After evaluating innovation, performance, and (of course) covetability, we deem these 50 products future classics.
SKINCARE ICONS
Best-selling formulas that are worth the hype.
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser routinely ranks among Amazon’s top-selling skincare products.
EADEM Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum
This serum is a rising star when it comes to evening out skin tone. Formulated for skin of color but made for all skin types, it gently fights stubborn hyperpigmentation while preventing new dark spots from popping up.
Supergoop! Glowscreen Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++
The iridescent Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40—which launched in a new shade this year—made SPF sexy.
Often seen on Dieux cofounder Charlotte Palermino herself, these eye masks are ubiquitous on skincare TikTok. Made from medical-grade silicone, they are worn atop your regular eye cream or moisturizer for intensive treatment without creating excess waste.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream inspires such loyalty, brand sales tripled at the pandemic’s peak in 2020.
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
Celebs like Sydney Sweeney and Justine Skye have dubbed this buttery mask their secret to plump lips. It contains shea butter and coconut oil to nourish, and comes in five juicy flavors like vanilla and mango.
Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray
This multitasking facial mist soothes skin, calms breakouts, and helps hydrate. Hailey Bieber is a fan, and a single TikTok helped boost sales by 600 percent when user @daveganbeast deemed it “the product I recommend to everyone for acne.”
Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum
A few drops go a long way to more hydrated, supple skin with this best-selling serum from celebrity- and BAZAAR editor-loved brand Dr. Barbara Sturm.
Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original
These pimple patches are the closest thing to a miracle when it comes to shrinking whiteheads. In six to eight hours, the hydrocolloid visibly draws out all the pore-clogging sebum, dirt, and bacteria leaving you with a much smaller blemish.
GUERLAIN Abeille Royale Anti-Aging Double R Advanced Serum
The beloved Guerlain Abeille Royale Double R Renew & Repair Advanced Serum now has 96 percent naturally derived ingredients.

Makeup is definitively back, and these products will forever have a place in our bags.
Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara
Lancôme is heralded for its mascaras, but Lash Idôle, the brand’s current best seller, may be its hardest-working one yet. The curved brush lifts and separates lashes for a lengthened, clump-free finish, while the gel formula adds volume without smudging or flaking.
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow
After Kylie Jenner and Selena Gomez professed their love for Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Color on social media, sales skyrocketed, making the creamy sticks among the most popular prestige eye shadows in the United States.
e.l.f. Cosmetics 16HR Camo Concealer
You don’t need to break the bank to cover under-eye bags. This $7 concealer receives high praise on TikTok and from makeup artists, and for good reason: It’s full coverage, won’t settle into fine lines or creases, and lasts 16 hours.

Highly prized at the moment is the rosy-nude Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk: One sells every minute.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Sheer Long-Wear Makeup is a lighter take on the brand’s famed formula.
CHANEL LES BEIGES Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream

Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder
Silky, illuminating Givenchy Prisme Libre Setting & Finishing Loose Powder became a makeup artist fave when it launched in 2006, then it shot back into the limelight as TikTok reviews boosted 2022 sales 180 percent.
MILK MAKEUP Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer
Makeup enthusiasts already know why six units of this silicone-free primer are sold hourly. Not only is it—as the name suggests—hydrating and foundation gripping, but it’s also packed with good-for-skin ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.
After Bella Hadid applied buttery Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil on TikTok, everyone wanted it.
