The model and influencer topped the list of celebrities for makeup inspiration, which is unsurprising as she has been responsible for several makeup and beauty trends this year, from glazed donut skin and the donut nails, to her controversial brownie glazed lips. Videos with the hashtag 'Hailey Bieber makeup' received a whopping 167 million views on TikTok, and Google searches for her beauty looks were up 421% compared to 2021.
