When I think about the beauty trends I’ve seen come and go in my lifetime, there have been some crazy ones. Most of those trends were not permanent.
Hair and makeup changes are easy; hair grows out and make-up washes off. There were some periods where tattooed makeup was all the rage. I suppose it’s still being done, but not as much.
Many of today’s trends are different because undoing them is not as easy. Many are surgical and/or invasive.
Take for example the Brazilian Butt Lift also known as the BBL. It’s been a big trend the last few years and it is just what it sounds like. It’s to make your butt bigger, usually with fat transfers. There are also butt implants designed to do the same thing.
Of course, breast implants have been around forever and the reason for those varies, and is far more common than a BBL.
Cheek and chin implants took over the trend of removing buccal fat from the face which was trending a while back. Many people look to change the shape of their face with these procedures.
Now imagine if you follow the trends and had those procedures done because you wanted to fit in, but the trend changes! Welcome 2025 where big butts and large breasts are no longer the things to have.
Many plastic surgeons are reporting people wanting implants removed. The idea for removal of implants is to look more natural. Smaller breasts are now called ballerina or yoga boobs.
The trend is smaller breasts and removal of implants. The same is happening with the butt enhancements.
Many makeup trends are also natural or no makeup at all. Pamela Anderson started the no makeup trend and looks beautiful.
I remember the ‘60s when Twiggy made being stick-thin the way to look. I really hope we don’t go back to that look. Sadly, for many young women trying to achieve unrealistic weights, anorexia was also an issue that became a problem.
If you’re going to make changes, keep in mind what that’ll be like in 5 or 10 years as we age. While beauty trends come and go, hair and makeup are easier to undo if we decide we don’t like it.
