Pinterest Says "Glitchy Glam" Will Rule 2026

According to Pinterest's annual trend report, 2026 will be the year of eccentric makeup. The platform predicts that "glitchy glam" will be the beauty trend to take the internet by storm in the upcoming year. Categorized by avant-garde makeup details, bright eyeshadow and two-toned looks, "glitchy glam" is seemingly a big change of pace compared to the no-makeup makeup, clean girl vibe of 2025.

"The perfect winged liner? She doesn’t go here. This year, beauty is missing the mark— on purpose," Pinterest says in a press release. Unlike the effortlessly-perfect glam we've seen take over TikTok in 2025, the beauty landscape is seemingly preparing for a major change. Harping on Gen Z and Millennials' love for nostalgic grunge beauty, messy makeup, fueled by artistic asymmetry, is said to be the next impactful beauty look.
