In the ever-evolving world of beauty and fashion, trends come and go, but some leave a lasting impression. Balletcore, a trend that hinted at taking center stage in 2023, is poised to reach new heights in the beauty scene this year. With over a billion views on TikTok under the #Balletcore hashtag, it's clear that the fascination with this aesthetic has been building momentum.
While 2023 saw intermittent surges in Balletcore's popularity, it seems like the trend has only been gathering strength as the year came to a close. Now, as whispers echo through the beauty community, many are speculating that 2024 could indeed be the year of the Balletcore aesthetic.
Romantic and hyper-feminine, Balletcore is more than just a makeup trend; it's an aesthetic that embraces activewear reminiscent of traditional ballet practice, think leg warmers, wrap skirts, ballet flats, tulle dresses, and satin ribbons — all essential elements that contribute to the signature ballerina look.
Get The Look
The style is characterized by a polished and sophisticated appearance, focusing on radiant, naturally luminous skin that requires proper hydration and preparation.
We love Secret Key, Starting Treatment Rose Essence, which is full of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate as a first step to getting skin moisture ready. Support your skin's moisture barrier with a moisturizer like CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, a lightweight formula designed to maintain hydration levels in the skin for 24 hours. It will provide the sheen that is fundamental to the look.
The Balletcore makeup look is synonymous with a soft, elegant eye, pretty pink blush tones, a luminous glow, and nude pink lips.
We can't go past the Natasha Denona Mini Starlette Eyeshadow Palette for the perfect pastel eye, Dior Rosy Glow Blush for a fresh pink flush and the Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight for that sheeny skin.
When it comes to lips, Frankie Blair's Matte Lip Stain, Mazelle, is a great place start. A soft pink, that can be built up create a color pop!
Time will tell whether the Balletcore aesthetic will reign as the queen for 2024 but in any case we love it.
