If your TikTok feed is filled with content creators doing outlandish makeup looks or going overboard with makeup products with “pre-shower makeup” written in the caption, I’m sure you’re wondering what it all means. You’ve probably asked yourself, “What’s the point in doing makeup before your shower when it’s all going to get washed off anyway?” That, my friends, is the very beauty of pre-shower makeup.
What Is Pre-Shower Makeup?
As beauty tok influencer and makeup artist, Mei Pang explained, “Pre-shower makeup is my favorite and my chance to play with color and not to take things too seriously.”
It’s a practice among beauty enthusiasts where they get to experiment with different makeup looks and styles that they usually don’t do regularly to either improve their makeup skills or to just be silly. The best part about the trend is that there is no pressure to do your makeup perfectly because you know you’ll just wash it off in the end! It’s really all about having fun with makeup.
Thousands of content creators and makeup enthusiasts have shared their #preshowermakeup on TikTok, and some videos have even gained millions of views. This one comedic video by user @peytons_tiktok has over 3.7 million views as of writing. In the comments section, some netizens shared how they’ve been doing this trend even before the term “pre-shower makeup” was a thing.
Netizens React to Pre-Shower Makeup Trend
One user said, “I do this all the time.”
“So other people do this too,” commented another.
They also shared some of their own funny moments doing this trend, such as having a parent walk in and see them with their pre-shower makeup or the “walk of shame” they have to do from their room to their bathroom just to make sure no one sees them. LOL!
