While Pokémon makeup may have recently made a splash on Instagram, it looks like the next beauty trend also takes its inspiration from Japanese culture. Sushi makeup is bringing the traditional delicacy into the beauty world, with inspired motifs setting the stage for lip and eye looks.

Staying true to the colour of the Japanese specialty, the look involves shades of orange, dark green and white. From seaweed patterns to tiny salmon eggs and sections of crab, sushi makeup aims replicate a sushi platter with makeup.

On social media, daring makeup lovers are bridging their love of food with their passion for beauty. From eyes which are artfully painted with mini California rolls to salmon and wasabi themed pouts, sushi has made its way to the beauty counter.

If you prefer to keep your sushi on your plate, you may want to abandon this trend in favour of more wearable everyday looks. However, if you’re an adventurous spirit who needs a shift away from delicate pastels, sushi inspired beauty may be a new must-try! Here’s a closer glimpse at the trend, before you decide to swap your chopsticks for an eyeshadow brush.
