Perfect Lashes for Douyin Makeup

What is Douyin Makeup?

The Douyin makeup trend has become a global beauty phenomenon. Inspired by Chinese influencers on the Douyin app (China’s version of TikTok), this style emphasizes a youthful, soft-focus aesthetic with radiant skin, glittery eyes, diffused lips, and, most notably, dramatic lashes. As Teen Vogue explains: “Douyin makeup… typically uses shimmery eyeshadow, pigmented pink blush, and blurred lips… It’s a skin-first, minimalistic style… often confused with K-beauty, but distinctly rooted in Chinese makeup culture.” While there are similarities to Korean beauty, Douyin makeup stands apart in its use of bold glitter placement, strong blush placement beneath the eyes, and lashes that create a wide, doll-like effect. One of the defining elements? The lashes — often styled in clustered or “manhua” (Chinese comic) designs. Here’s how to master the Douyin look with the help of our curated lash collection. 

How to Achieve Douyin Makeup

Step 1: Start with a Clean, Sheer Base

Use a light-to-medium coverage foundation that allows your skin to breathe. Whether you prefer a glowing or matte finish, the key is keeping the base lightweight so the shimmer and color on the eyes and cheeks can stand out.

Step 2: Accenting Features

Blush: Apply directly under the eyes and blend across the nose bridge. This placement mimics the youthful, flushed effect commonly seen in Douyin content.

Brows: Keep brows soft, slightly bushy, and textured. Avoid overly sculpted lines and opt for a wax or light pencil for subtle definition.

Lips: Choose tinted balms or soft glosses with blurred edges. The goal is a diffused, gradient effect rather than a sharply lined lip.

Step 3: Create Dimension with Shimmer and Detail

Use a soft shimmer or duo-chrome shadow placed on the center of the eyelids. Keep eyeliner subtle — a thin wing or tightline is ideal. Then, build the defining feature of the Douyin look, the lashes!!
