eyes named top trends for 2023 UK Animal-inspired haircuts, doe eyes and anti- inflammatory ingredient chebula are among the beauty trends predicted to be big in 2023, according to membership brand Beauty Pie. The company’s 2023 Trends Report analysed Google search data from September 2021 to August 2022 for hundreds of trends to find out which will make an impact this year. Top predictions include layered
‘butterfly’, ‘octopus’ and ‘jellyfish’ haircuts, which have all enjoyed a swell in search numbers, as well as the hyperfeminine ‘coquette’ make-up trend, buoyed by last year’s ‘balletcore’ aesthetic. Looking to ingredients, chebula’s popularity has risen by nearly 1,000% in the past 12 months, while searches for peptide lip treatments soared 400% on Google.

KAO BETS ON GEN Z MEN WITH UNLICS
JAPAN A new brand for Gen Z men has launched courtesy of Japan’s Kao Corporation. Unlics – a portmanteau of ‘unlimited’ and ‘cs’ (an abbreviation of ‘curiosity’) – is aimed at young men who aspire towards beauty which goes deeper than personal grooming. Kao said it identified ‘fine texture’, ‘bright’, ‘clear’ and ‘cool’ as the skin qualities most desired by Gen Z men. Branded under the slogan ‘hungry for beauty’, Unlics
launched 1 December with two products: a clarifying make-up base called Impress Color Wear, which comes in four shades for the user’s desired colour-control effect; and Aqua Hug Water, a fresh-feeling lotion for moisture retention. This month, the brand will roll out five ‘melty-spread’ serums targeting issues including rough skin and freckles and Hog Fog Mask, a reusable face mask towel.
‘Slugging’ is anticipated to dominate the beauty scene in 2023 still, while the ‘spiky bun’ look garnered a 257% upsurge in searches. The shaggy, mullet-inspired
‘wolf’ haircut, as seen on Miley Cyrus, will likewise remain popular this year. And, finally, wide-eyed, or ‘doe eyed’ make-up will continue to surge thanks to the style being worn by TV characters such as Euphoria’s Cassie.
Feelunique’s Aaron Chatterley to launch teen brand Indu
UK Aaron Chatterley, founder of British e-tailer Feelunique, is launching a new ‘go-to teen beauty brand’ called Indu in August 2023. The teenage skin care and make-up range will launch as an entry brand for teenagers to learn about beauty in a way that promotes self-esteem.
Chatterley has co-founded it with Richard Schiessl,
co-founder of Feelunique, and Reena Hammer, previously Managing Director of beauty destination Urban Retreat and Global Director of Soho Health Club. “We are launching the range because, fundamentally, we believe there is not currently a holistic make-up and skin care offering for teenagers,” Chatterley told Cosmetics Business. He added: “As a parent of teenage girls, I want to create a brand that is cool enough that kids want it and that mums and dads can get behind it because of the way it is positioned.”
