Trendalytics, which was acquired by HatchBeauty last year, shared its March 2022 Top Trends report—and it reveals the biggest shifts in consumer searches this month.
Some of the beauty trends in the top 3 beauty categories that made the cut are no surprise—like "Beach Babe."
Spring break trips are underway and beauty fans are prepping for summer. That means beauty brands can entice shoppers by supplying everything they need for a "no makeup look" and "beach waves" hair.
Other trends are more surprising—like faux freckles.
Take a look at the list, which compares the popularity of each trend from last year.
