© Powered by Elite DailyMakeup is like magic; It is powerful, transformative and even inspiring. And with color-changing products, people who grew up cursing mood rings can get their own adult version of something that changes before their eyes. There's nothing more fun than seeing what shade you get, which is why color-changing makeup has taken TikTok by storm. Come on, what could be more fun than shooting something that looks a little different than what you're wearing?
Color changing products interact with the pH level of the product and the pH level of the skin. This is why swelling and shine may appear in the container or clear when first applied, but turn pink or red when applied to the face.
But not all color changing products are created equal.
There are claims that color changing foundations on the market are the same as other shade changing products, and many brands promise to match your skin tone perfectly. But Tik Tok users like @missdarcei are quick to point out that these "one color fits all" promises don't hold true when worn by people with darker skin tones. @Missdarcei tried a few color changing foundations but it made her skin look white. Because of this, you'll only find blush, lipstick, and a few eyeshadows that change color depending on the light you're in.
Here are the best color changing products available right now that we think TikTok totally lives up to the hype.

She calls it the perfect "subtle yet sweet" color. These blushes are made with jojoba oil and vitamin E, so they create the "glass skin" effect that is popular among beauticians these days.

Since each shade is infused with hyaluronic acid, passion fruit oil and grape seed oil, just a few swipes of this product on the cheeks will give you an anti-aging effect.
