For the initiated: TikTok, an app that lets users upload their own short videos, became a phenomenon in 2019. Whether you're a high school student using the app for a history class assignment or a digital writer who is too old to really understand what's going on there exactly, TikTok's success is undeniable. To help sum up its banner year, the brand put together a list of the 100 top TikToks of 2019.

The list includes viral moments like Kombucha Girl and #RiseAndShine, but for our purposes, there's also a breakdown of the ten best beauty and fashion TikToks of the year.

We suggest perusing the full list — after all, TikToks are a maximum of 60 seconds, so it'll only take 10 minutes. In the length of time it takes to drink your afternoon coffee, watch Victoria Lyn test out Too Faced Silver Glow Job Glitter Face Mask. See a pair of disembodied hands craft a very satisfying purple unicorn braid. Or, naturally, you can watch as a makeup artist turns herself into a harlequin clown.

Here's the full top 10 list:

  1. Creating the perfect blue glitter acrylic by @youngnailsinc
  2. Checkered clown check by @abbyrartistry
  3. That contour and highlight, though! by @jamescharles
  4. Six different festival fashion trends by @glitterandlazers
  5. Multicolor hair highlights by @emilymunyak
  6. Unicorn-colored braid! by @learnwithlati
  7. Create an eyeshadow look by randomly picking three different colors! by @jamescharles
  8. The ultimate glitter mask by @victorialyn
  9. An '80s-inspired look by @addyurdaddy
  10. A purple-perfect Barbie inspired look by @victorialyn

TikTok's short length means that these videos aren't meant to be instructional or confessional or an infomercial any of the other things we've come to expect from beauty YouTubers. They can just be fun — which, we hope, we'll see even more of in 2020.
