Why Beauty Trends Are A Scam

With the ever-increasing presence of social media, trends are constantly appearing and changing rapidly. Some recent beauty trends include glass skin, lip oils, natural makeup, and even Chappell Roan’s makeup look. Even a few months ago, the trends were different, with ‘Mob Wife’ and coquette being very popular. 

As time goes by, beauty trends come and go rapidly. These trends are only briefly trendy before the next thing takes over. Since beauty trends don’t last long, it can be hard to get on the bandwagon only to get off shortly after and switch to the next trend. 

Some recent trends, such as natural makeup and Chappell Roan’s makeup, are drastically different looks. Natural makeup is a look to enhance your features and comes across as though you are not wearing any makeup. Chappell Roan’s makeup includes a pale white face, intense blue eye shadow, thin-lined brows, intense pink blush, and a pink lip. 

While at opposite ends of the beauty spectrum, these two trends are, presently, the most popular makeup looks. Why are they both so popular yet so different? Because they are the current fad. They will change shortly enough. 

Makeup and beauty trends evolve so rapidly that keeping up with them can be confusing. Knowing what is in right now can be hard to figure out, let alone recreate. 

When it comes to beauty trends, most of them are a scam. Achieving certain looks might require certain products. This is where brands can jump in and sell these items. Other times, it is just a fad that will pass as the next new look comes in. 

Keeping up with beauty trends is exhausting and, in the long run, unnecessary. Wearing looks that you love, and that make you feel great is the most important thing. If you want to try some trends out or stick with them, then go for it. Ultimately, the most important part of beauty is to do what you love, and what makes you feel the best.
