At the Lionesses Euros celebration, football star Lauren James embraced the divisive Gen Z beauty trend with star-shaped pimple patches.
Gen Z beauty trends regularly disrupt the internet. We’re talking about under-eye bags, blush blindness, and the morning shed, just to name a few. Pimple patches are the most recent topic to bring up some debate.
And now, football star Lauren James is getting in on the action, sporting the £9 spot stickers that have already found fans in celebs like Pink Pantheress, Hailey and Justin Bieber, and SZA. Cute, controversial, and clinically effective, these tiny patches are making a major statement.
The 23-year-old was seen rocking Starface’s Pink Hydro-Star Patches, $8.99, while observing the Lionesses’ victory parade around London.
While looking adorable on your face, this pack of 32 pink, star-shaped stickers helps reduce redness, absorb gunk, and reduce spots. These patches are made of 100% hydrocolloid, which helps to control inflammation, prevent acne, and stop skin wrinkling (a bad habit I’m sure we all have once had).
This £25 vanilla body mist is in demand because Love Island’s Toni and Billykiss can’t stop ingesting it.

When you’re running around, cooking dinner at home, or celebrating your recent Euros win, Hydro-Stars are precisely shaped to hug your skin and stay put.
They’re vegan, cruelty-free, and dermatologist-tested, so they actually help you get breakouts rather than just concealing them. They’re safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Pimple patches were initially intended to cover up spots without appearing too obvious and blend in with skin. There are some fantastic invisible designs that don’t stand out from ordinary on the face from The Inkey List and Mighty Patch.
However, Starface completely changed the game with its instantly recognisable star patches, which were created specifically to stand out after its launch in 2019.
The recent shift in beauty standards is highlighted by the popularity of these patches. Gen Z embraces and highlights previous “shameful” imperfections rather than cover-up acne, scars, or blemishes in secret. It’s both a conscious choice to reject overly airbrushed or filtered faces as well as a form of fun and self-expression.
