Faux Tan Lines and Sunburns: Chic or Dangerous?

In 2025, it's practically taboo to leave the house without sunscreen on. Thanks to our skincare obsession, we've become hyper-aware of premature aging — which is why SPF is now considered a non-negotiable in our routines. Yet, in direct opposition of our desire to look young forever, TikTok has developed an affinity for using makeup to create faux Y2K-esque tan lines.

As strange as it may seem, the sunburn trend is far from new. While its already made appearances in countless runway shows and editorial shoots, celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter and Addison Rae have also co-signed the look. Whether it's accomplished with blush or spray tan, there's a big emphasis on getting the look without actually damaging your skin.
