40 trending sounds and formats for beauty brands, with example clips and how to use each one.
Most beauty trends right now follow a few repeatable formats: a POV clip where a text overlay names a specific customer situation, a trending sound that supplies the joke or reaction while a product result plays underneath, and a before-and-after reveal cut to a beat in the audio. The footage requirements are small: a few seconds of someone applying the product, a close-up of the finished result, or a clean shot of the packaging is usually the entire video. Choose a trend whose premise matches something true about your product, shoot the clip vertically on a phone, keep it under ten seconds, and add the trend's audio and your overlay text.
Turn a trend into an on-brand short from footage you already have.
