Anyone on social media may have likely come across the viral sensation Moo Deng, the baby pygmy hippo. However, what most people didn’t expect was for her to start a makeup trend that is becoming more and more popular among beauty influencers. Moo Deng makeup trend is in line with what beauty enthusiasts look for in a makeup look, super dewy skin and lots of blush. Moreover, the trend is perfect for fall as the skin will be hydrated and glass-like as the drier months approach.
How to do Moo Deng makeup?
For the unversed, Moo Deng is an adorable baby pygmy hippo residing at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. Her cuteness has melted the hearts of many, and her hilarious antics have people endlessly scrolling on social media platforms. Moreover, she is famous enough for the zoo to file for a patent and also start a 24-hour livestream that will be available for everyone to watch soon.
Moo Deng makeup trend is all about achieving the baby pygmy hippo’s glass-like skin with the prettiest shade of blush. It all started with influencers trying to recreate her iconic look. Before applying any makeup, one first needs to ensure the base is nice and dewy to capture the baby hippo’s glistening skin.
The makeup trend incorporates lots of grey hues to represent Moo Deng’s skin color. Most beauty enthusiasts practice their creative freedom to incorporate it in the form of eyeshadow or lip color. If one wants to play it safe, a grey eye makeup look would be the way to go.
However, one element that stays common across most influencers’ makeup looks is the heavily flushed cheeks. Moo Deng makeup trend might just be what beauty enthusiasts were looking for to justify their blush blindness. Any blush shade will do, as long as it has a great color payoff. To nail this makeup trend, one simply needs to start with very well-hydrated skin. Then, some grey eyeshadow or lip product, followed by a particular shade of blush will do the trick to create the rest of the makeup look.
