Every December, Google releases a list of the most popular search terms in the past one year. Curious to know what made the cut in terms of beauty, we dove right in and took a look. The 2017 top searched terms will shock you!
While 2016 was dominated by fishtail braids, the most searched beauty phrase for 2016 was ‘how to do a fishtail braid’.
According to Allure, the most searched beauty phrase for the year 2017 is ‘beauty blender’ and we’re stoked. This egg-shaped blending sponge has been making waves for years. But recently, every brand has released their own version of the good ol’ Blender. Ask us and we’d say we’re loyalists to the OG – Beauty Blender (Rs 1,999), ain’t nothing like the real deal. Buy it and watch your foundation game change, forever!
