![demure-beauty-trend-tiktok Gentle allure: how the internet is adopting the 'demure' beauty trend](https://www.russh.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/demure-beauty-trend-tiktok.jpg)
The latest TikTok sound bite to go viral this month is from TikTok user Jools Lebron (@joolieannie), whose “You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure, very mindful,” clip has transcended trend to be heralded as a mindset – perhaps the antithesis of the internet's obsession with the loud and proud 'brat summer'.
Jools' humorous approach to understated beauty is what has made 'demure' the word of the moment. It's inescapable – from Vulture and Rolling Stone breaking down the meme, to the comments section of just about every trending video at the moment featuring approximately 1,000 'very demure, very mindful' responses.

The trend
The demure beauty trend on TikTok is all about embracing a soft, understated elegance that exudes quiet confidence. It's a refreshing shift from bold, statement-making looks, focusing instead on natural, minimalistic makeup and soft, neutral tones
Makeup artists and enthusiasts on the platform are championing this aesthetic by highlighting dewy skin, delicate blush, and barely-there lip tints. 'Demure beauty' is about enhancing one's natural features, rather than transforming them, celebrating a timeless femininity that feels effortlessly chic. It's a nod to simplicity in a world often dominated by excess, resonating with those who find beauty in subtlety and grace.
