4 Makeup Fads That Are Slowly Getting Outdated

Makeup fads are never constant, and what might be the rule of the day-to-day might seem to cringe a few years down the line

Makeup styles come and go, much like clothing trends. You might recall that we used to always puff the hair so at the crown to give the illusion of a slimmer face. But somehow down the line, we gilded nearly all of our cosmetics. They may indeed elicit a cringe-worthy reaction now, however, they were really rather fashionable just several years ago. Given the volatility of fashion, the conventions we adhere to now are likely to seem laughable in a few years. In this article, we'll look at a few of the recent beauty trends that are already becoming quaint. Have a look below to learn about them all!

Darker Shades of Lipstick

For quite some time, women favored deep shades of lipstick over more subdued tones. This trend, however, is waning. Subtle coral and rosy tones are slowly replacing more dramatic and dark shades as the lipstick of choice. They're simple enough to be worn everywhere, yet elegant enough to be the focal point of an evening out. We won't tell you to tone down your signature dramatic black look, but as cosmetics move away from the glam and back to the natural, it could be a good idea to stock up on a natural lip color just in case.

Smokey Eyes

During the 2010s, the smokey eye makeup trend was in favor. This fad began with black eye makeup, but soon other colors and glitter were added. But, at present, attention has been drawn to eye shadows that have a wider range of hues and shimmer. There has been a resurgence in the popularity of technicolor lids, which give their users a bold and distinctive appearance. The most significant drawback of the smoky eye is the years it will add to your face. While the current fashion is for a more understated and natural appearance, smoky eyes are out.

Powder Foundation

Good news: you can now apply foundation and powder carelessly and yet have them completely hide your pores. Using matte makeup might leave you looking like you've got a mask on your face, which is a dead giveaway that you're actually wearing. These days, makeup-free, natural appearances are more popular than ever. The last touch is a thin dusting of highlighter that makes their skin seem healthy and glowing.

Lash Tracers

While spider eyebrows are a cosmetic nightmare, Rihanna has turned them chic. Although the latest fad is for more clean appearance overall, makeup enthusiasts continue to test new tints near the eyes. Mascara in unexpected colors like royal purple, turquoise, and forest green is rising in popularity.
