Beauty trends move quickly. With each season’s product launches, it’s easy to spot brands rushing to incorporate the new “It” colors or innovative packaging (see: refillable beauty products). When it comes to textures, the trend cycle is a bit slower. Take lipsticks, for instance. You have your liquids, your bullets, a powder here and there, stains, and oils. It’s not easy to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the tried-and-true delivery methods of our favorite beauty products. Not easy—but not impossible.

That’s why we get so excited when a new texture trend comes along. Enter: jelly beauty products. The bouncy texture has its roots in K-beauty (Which innovative beauty trend doesn’t, TBH?) and has been steadily making its way into our beauty cabinets—and we can’t get enough.

From eyeshadows to lip gloss to skincare products, jelly beauty products offer a unique sensory experience. Bouncy jelly formulas lend themselves well to makeup and skincare application, especially with products like highlighter. After all, the playful, tactile, and buildable qualities of jelly beauty products are about getting your hands (metaphorically) dirty.
