This Season’s Hottest Beauty Trend: The Viral Hippo Look

This fall, social media is buzzing with the Moo Deng look, named after the adorable baby pygmy hippo who has captured hearts worldwide. Known for her dewy and radiant skin, Moo Deng’s style is inspiring a new beauty trend called “Moo Deng makeup.”n Makeup artist Norah Salazar describes the appeal of Moo Deng’s rosy cheeks and hydrated skin, which complements all skin tones. This look reflects the glass skin trend, popularized for its smooth, reflective appearance. Chicago dermatologist Omar Ibrahim adds that achieving such luminous skin requires a well-hydrated and exfoliated base.n Moo Deng, with her naturally rosy and dewy skin, owes her glow to special mucus glands unique to pygmy hippos. While we can’t bottle hippo goo yet, we can recreate the look at home. Begin with exfoliating and moisturizing, then use a glow-enhancing primer. A tinted moisturizer or a radiant mix can mimic Moo Deng’s dewy complexion. For those signature cheeks, a liquid or cream blush is suggested.n Celebrity makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor recommends finishing with highlighter on the cheekbones and a setting spray for that fresh, wet look. Embrace your vivacious spirit with this new trend and let your inner Moo Deng shine.n
