Worst Beauty Trends Of 2021 • Leaving These Behind In 2022

Hello, everyone, my name is isabelle. I make videos here on youtube and on tick tock about skincare and lifestyle, everything that is natural, effective and beautiful. I just believe that we have one life to live, so you might as well live it beautifully inside and out in today's video, i am so excited to be bringing to you the trends that i am glad are gone. The beauty and makeup trends that i'm like good riddance, get out, see you never before you come at me if you like any of these trends or if you still do them. This is just my opinion. We'Re just having a little fun here, and i also just want to say that when you do think about makeup or style anything like that, especially i could make a whole video about plastic surgery and why it should not be done for trend. But whenever you do think about these things, don't forget that classic is timeless and in many ways less is more. So all of these things are very much more. You know big things, big makeup trends, you'll see when i get into it, but in general, when you do think about your own kind of trends and how you want to wear your makeup or present yourself. I do believe that in general, just classic and timeless is best, but these are some very big trends that i'm glad are gone without further ado. The first trend that i am so glad is gone are those dramatic eyelashes that you can just fly away with whether they are the actual eyelashes that get put onto your eyes, extensions or if they are just strip eyelashes. I am so glad. They'Re gone these days. People are opting for demi lashes, they're, just glueing on or very natural sets. When i see a full set of eyelash extensions that literally look like you could take off like an airplane, i'm like, oh, my god, there is nothing attractive about it. In my opinion, you have to have a full beat face of makeup to kind of pull off those huge eyelashes, otherwise they just look completely disproportionate compared to the rest of your face. So that brings me to the second trend that i am glad is gone or kind of going away, and that is, like i said full beat face makeup now. What is a full beats face of makeup that basically refers to when you have layers and layers and layers of makeup on you've got a thick primer on your face. You'Ve got your foundation on sometimes multiple layers of foundation, heavy coverage and then you've got your your concealer. I should say you know that classic v, concealer the really bright white concealer and a deep contour think of the kind of makeup trends that kim kardashian made popular. Eight or nine years ago, and that really started picking up on youtube in the last six or seven years. That makeup is just so impractical. It might look good under flash photography. I think if it's your wedding day, you might want to have a full face makeup on like that, but for day to day, to take the time, the expense of all those products and the results is just it's not natural. It doesn't look very good. In my opinion, i am so glad to see that out the window and instead we're replacing it with really natural makeup, whether it's glowy dewy foundation, skin serums and tints, sometimes no foundation at all faux freckles. These are all signs of really natural makeup. Coming back in style, and i'm so happy to see it, the next trend that kind of goes along with that kim kardashian. Look that i was just talking about is a big matte lip an over lined ultra matte lip. I personally do not understand the trend for matte anything. I don't particularly like overly matte eyes. I don't like overly matte skin and i do not like an overly matte lip. There is nothing sort of youthful and bouncy and glowy about it and putting matte makeup on kind of taking all the health and all the kind of life out of your skin. Out of your face out of your lips and you're, replacing it with something so matte again, it works with flash photography and the reason why the really matte look works is because, when you are being photographed from all different angles, there's sort of no wrong angle. Your face has been so chiseled and all the light is kind of absorbed. There'S no light really reflecting off of it in what could be considered an unflattering way. So when you're on the red carpet and you've got your face to one side you're looking down whatever it is, when you've got that very matte makeup, look on your lips on your face. It is just going to look pretty good, pretty consistent at all angles and that's why that became popular in the first place, but for day to day life forget it. I don't want anything to do with a matte look. I love the radiant shine finishes really just skin like textures skin is not matte, it's not made to be, and i don't think it looks particularly good. So i am glad to see that one out of here the next two trends that i am so glad are gone both have to do with hair. Now the first one is ombre hair. Now, if you don't know what ombre hair is consider yourself, one of the lucky ones, it basically refers to a hair dyeing or highlighting technique bleaching. I should say technique where the tips of your hair are really a dramatically different color than the tops of your hair, and it was never particularly weaved in it wasn't like highlights that got sort of brighter at the bottom or anything like that. It was truly. It looked like dip dyeing hair and i used to watch youtube videos of girls who would dye the bottom of their hair on their own at home, which is just absolutely disaster, never recommend that, but people were doing all sorts of things. They were bleaching. The bottom of their hair bright white, when they naturally had dark, dark brown, hair or the opposite. They were spending all this money on perfectly crafted highlights or blonde hair, and then they were dyeing the bottom of their hair like a dark brown, and i get it if you want to tip your hair, pink or blue or purple. I think that's fun, that's not what i'm talking about here, it's more when you have the natural hair colors that just would get cut off on the bottom of your hair, and this was particularly trendy. At the same time, the hair extensions were so hair extensions. Are the next trend in the beauty space that i am so glad are gone? Oh my gosh, i think when they first started coming into practice and play mainstream. They were those bonded in hair extensions and they were probably pretty well done. You know you would pay a lot for them, but when people started seeing how nice they looked, they wanted the same. Look for less, that's always how things go, and so they would get clip in hair extensions that were not natural hair or they would go and get bonded hair in put in by people who didn't really know what they were doing or the length was off. The color was off. There were so many reasons why these hair extensions did not look good. I think the biggest sort of offender is that the texture and the tone was never quite right, so you could always see the kind of natural hair which in general, was a less good texture and then underneath you would see this sort of perfect silky, shiny, hair And it's like that does not look right. There is no way that is natural, not to mention whether or not your hair extensions are clip in or the kind of um like glued in ones whatever they were even weaved in hair extensions, which i'll admit i've had once. Oh, i didn't like them at all. They felt terrible washing them was a whole other nightmare, but no matter what you're doing when you are putting hair extensions in no matter how you know good, they are supposed to be for your hair, even the tape and ones that are supposed to be very safe. They really do tug at your hair and, at the end of the day, you're not going to be getting hair extensions forever. That'S a tremendous amount of cost and upkeep you're going to take them out at some point and you're going to be left with hair. That'S a much worse quality than what it would have been in the first place. I am so happy to see that natural hair is finally being appreciated and enjoyed uh. My hair journey continues and i actually have quite curly hair i'm trying to at some point embrace that i tried it. It was very difficult for me, i'm just so used to straight hair, but i'm so happy to see that in general, people are appreciating their natural hair, better, the textures, the colors of them they're cutting their hair. All sorts of things are just so much more natural. Looking and just so much more flattering in my opinion, the last two trends that i want to mention have to do with your eyebrows and they are two opposite sides to the coin. So one side is the extremely blocky over penciled in eyebrow. Oh my gosh. I spent so long trying to figure out how to do this. I was never really able to my eyebrows are all over the place. I can never quite pin them down in a way that is on trend, but when this trend came out, you would find hundreds, thousands of youtube videos a day being posted of how to create that perfectly. You know cut eyebrow whatever the word was that people were using. Oh my gosh, it was awful. You would just over pencil a whole thing in this brick block and then you'd take concealer around the whole outside it was just so extreme. You would see a really beautiful person and they would be coming from a block away. All you could see was their eyebrows. Oh my god. A disaster and the other side to that coin is the ultra thin eyebrow. This is the over plucked completely ridiculous, sharp angle. This was in trend just before the thick brow, but, oh, my goodness, you would go. We would get our eyebrows waxed at the cheap nail salons and they would just take off all the hair. They would leave a little strip of hair that was considered so cool and so trendy and you might pencil in that little strip. I don't understand why, but these are just two examples of really extreme beauty: that's not natural and especially recently. I think that it's important to remember that natural things are beautiful for a reason, and so the closer that we can keep our own trends, our own makeup techniques, our own styles, to the kind of timeless natural beauty. The better you're going to look back at your old pictures, your old style, your old makeup, whatever it is that you were doing and you're going to be like okay, that was that was then you're not going to look back and be like. Oh, my god, look at that beautiful picture ruined by crazy makeup or a crazy, wild and weird outfit. I just think that there are so many ways and opportunities to regret these extreme beauty and fashion decisions and, in general, just right down the middle nice and easy natural is better. If you disagree, let me know, obviously it's your own self. It'S your own face. Do what you will whatever you want to it, but that's just my opinion. I hope that you enjoyed this fun little video. I really appreciate you watching and i will see you guys in the next one. Bye
