I am 60 and we wore our foundation one shade lighter than our skin back in the 80s . This habit was so enforced by myself that I still do to this day. I still do 80s blush placement too.

I’d love to see a “real life” vs internet trends video! I think there’s a huge disconnect between the two.. I almost never see women wearing any blush or intricate eyeshadow anywhere but on the internet

I actually like detailed eye looks, it’s just not something I see on other people
I live in Portland OR which is notoriously non makeup. But I am seeing a little bit more makeup on in real life people - but still not too much. On a variety of people, too not just in one area of town. Mostly a bold colorful eye. Secondly a winged eyeliner. More men wearing makeup outside of Ulta and Sephora. Sometimes lashes. The fanciest thing I see most often is a manicure with details like little rhinestones or lines of color.
I would also love to see this! I live in San Francisco, and depending on the neighborhood you could see the most glamorous and trendy makeup or…nothing at all.

As someone who wears a lot of colorful eyeshadow, I wanna make a recommendation when you’re moving toward blue eyeshadow. If you have a warm or neutral skin tone especially. Wear a peach blush, a warm neutral bronzer, a warm crease shade. Think of blue like the sky and add some sunset colors to anchor it. If you’re not a person who loves cool tones on themselves- blue offers you such an easy opportunity to wear it because it looks so good and easy with warm and very warm tones. Yeah it goes great with greens and purples- but it pulls double duty really well.
Omg yes with the lifted blush. For the past year or so I was doing that because it apparently looked good on everyone but lately I’ve been putting it lower on my cheekbones closer to the apples of my cheeks and it looks sooooo much better 😭
I'm so glad you found what works for you!! With my high cheekbones/fat placement, I've always done my blush high up because it's one of the facial features I actually enjoy. There's always a case for either amplifying our existing features or balancing out what we don't like. Makeup is just so fun to experiment with, lolol
I love apples of the cheek blush. It looks good on my face too. I bring it in close to my nose too, instead of doing the two finger width away from the nose thing. Just fits my face better.
For sure. I have high cheekbones and I am underweight on top of being 42 and just having less padding on my face no matter what. High blush, bronzer, and contour (contour anywhere really) just add to how gaunt I look. I like blush straight across the middle of my face, concentrated on the apples and going over the bridge of the nose. Basically the sunburn region.
@@disgruntledmoderate5331I didn't even know there was a two fingers away from the nose rule lololol. I bring blush from one apple to the other so it goes across my nose completely 😆 granted it's waaay lighter on the nose and really only on the center of the bridge but I can't imagine avoiding the nose by two fingers!!
As someone who is very pale and very cool toned, the whole bright pink blush trend has been,,, very interesting. It was a huge revelation for me to start using pink blush, because it's a color that finally didn't look orange or brown and muddy on me, so seeing other people discover it was very interesting, especially because like you said, it became a bit of a one-size-fits-all trend, when the reason I liked it in the first place was because it *wasn't * one size fits all. It's very cool toned, which makes it a really good option for cool toned people, and especially when for so long most (western) makeup has been so warm toned, it was really nice to finally find something that was effortless. But the problem I think is when everyone started just going for it without thinking about why it worked so well on cool-toned people. Not that warm-toned people can't wear a cool-toned blush, but just that it takes a bit more thinking and careful working, and it might be easier to go for a more neutral tone that will have a contextually cool shade against their warm skin, rather than going for something so cool even against cool-toned skin, if you know what I mean. It's not that you're restricted by your skin tone, but that you should bear it in mind when creating a look. So it was just very odd, and to be quite honest I almost wish it had never happened, because I'm a bit afraid of getting called out for being 'off trend' when I just continue to use a color that works for me. But you know, I like it, I look good in it, and I will continue to wear cool toned pink blush and recommend it to cool toned friends, because trends are inspiration for exploration, not rules.
I’m a neutral to warm toned person and bright pink blush looks awful on me but I was very glad to see it pop up precisely because of the fact that orange based makeup has been the default in western makeup for so long. I see so many cool toned people completely wash themselves out or make themselves look muddy just because everybody wants to be golden and warm and it frustrates me a lot. Especially because all neutral eyeshadow launches seem to come in the same shades of orange, which honestly doesn’t suit most skin tones. I personally don’t suit orange based shades and look best in softer yellow based or peachy colors, which are rare in western makeup but very common in eastern makeup brands. It seems everything comes in the same shades of orange. It was a breath of fresh air to watch people discover new color
So do you just wear eyeliner to get the definition? Mascara irritates my eyes, and I’ve tried a ton, so I want to try this no mascara thing…I just end up putting it on because I also feel like my look is incomplete..maybe I just have to get used to the look 😊
I stopped wearing mascara when I started accepting myself as a guy because it's the one step that INSTANTLY feminizes my features... But I still enjoy playing in my makeup collection. And honestly, unless I put on a shadow that gives me powdery lashes? I don't miss it too much. It's only when you're looking for it that you notice a look feels "incomplete", if that makes sense?? It's like how most people didn't gel/fill their eyebrows before 2010s & they still looked great.
@@zarisundiata7744I usually line my waterline [not for everyone's tastes] & will often lightly line my upper lid w/ a medium to dark shadow if I need more definition. But it's kinda something you get used to looking at after a while & most people don't notice, anyway.
@@zarisundiata7744 sometimes I’ll put on a tiny bit of brown powder liner on my outer corner, but most of the time I go without. I put some blush or bronzer on my lids to blend with the rest of my face, but that’s it! If you feel the look is incomplete, you can curl your lashes. Or get a lash lift and tint to get the mascara effect without having to put mascara on
i have a rounder face and honestly the blush placement of the boyfriend blush was a game changer for me. the high blush always looked weird on me and same for the apples of the cheeks or too close to the eyes. this placement looks just right for my face structure but i don't wear it as pigmented as your photo examples
I have an autoimmune disease that causes the butterfly rash. and with these blush trends, for the first time, I feel like I can just put on some tinted moisturizer and feel pretty. I've had random strangers compliment my makeup, and I'm like, girl, it's a flare-up. I'm so relieved not to try to cover it with full coverage makeup all of the time.
the kosas packaging breaking on you with yet another product leads me to believe that it's their packaging that's the problem, not your super strong grip
People diss drugstore makeup for the packaging, meanwhile they're paying $40+ for a face powder w/ pretty packaging that breaks if you look at it too hard. HARD PASS.
I think it’s interesting how “cheek” products keep being the products of a decade. 2000s were bronzer, started at the temples and cheeks, made it to the whole face and neck. 2010’s were highlighter. Started just at the very top of the cheekbones, ended up on the nose, chin, forehead everywhere again. Now blush, from apples of the cheeks to everywhere once again. Like we have other trends of course, but cheek products just keep getting bigger until we’re sick of it altogether.
@@loosilu I think contouring really took off in the 2016ish glam era due to Kim k. It has always kind of been shown to be an “all over the face” technique, but I think you’re right that people mainly focused on contouring the cheeks and then we started getting charts showing contour and highlight across the whole face, either with foundation or essentially replacing foundation altogether.
If people want to do the no mascara invest in a clear mascara. Then use an eyelash curler that fits your eyes. The clear mascara coats the lashes and it helps keep a curl.
Ooh, that's genius!! I sometimes get powdery lashes when I set my lids for a neutral look & usually just have to carefully rinse them w/ a q-tip or do a smokey powder liner to darken the fallout, lmao. I always forget they make those because I used to think they were silly when I was younger. 😂🤣
I love trends that go against those "rules" or that kind of reimagine things. I’m definitely here for different blush placements (especially the non lifting ones), no mascara looks or mixed metal jewelry.
Personally I’m a lifted blush girly because of my fave shape. Also, the “boyfriend blush?” Should def be renaissance blush trend 😂 i definitely agree with you that one size does not fit all.
I am so excited about all the purple blush and lip gloss coming out! I am very cool toned and I am LOVING the options! the new GIVE beauty liquid blush in Purple Irises with the matching lip gel is iconic! Also been loving Persona Jam as well!
I have not seen blue eyeshadow trend in the wild since the 80s/early 90s! It's interesting that blue was THE eyeshadow color back in the day (like before I was even born.) It doesn't go with every outfit let alone every skin tone, but it used to be in the standard everyday routine for a rather long period. Even when I was a kid blue was the only non-nude color you could find readily available.
It's funny I'm 24 and I frequently wear blue eyeshadow, I almost feel like it's classic and timeless because it's been around since the 20s, and I feel like it looks good with my brown eyes
I’m 30 and always grew up drawing my ladies with blue eyeshadow, i remember mum wearing blue eyeshadow and then when i discovered makeup at like 8 i would also smear blue eyeshadow all over my eyelids! And i have green eyes so it’s not like it looked good on me!! And then in high school when i finally got used to putting eyeliner on i would use bright blue eyeliner, ahhh now i own like 1 blue eye palette and it was inspired by a character in the UK tv show ‘Skins’, other than that I hardly wear blue makeup now!
Oh, great, my rosacea is on trend! 😂 Jokes aside I do like that the boyfriend blush introduces again a new placement when everything was about "lifting" recently. I love to have fun with my blush, with placement, color or styles, sometimes make it shimmery sometimes matte, etc. I love that this boyfriend blush has more of a 90s placement too. I've been trying out that 90s blush for a while and I like it. What I don't love about the boyfriend blush is how unblended it is. That look works for like editorial or very edgy looks but for the average makeup I don't think you want unblended blush. It makes it look more like a rash or rosacea too. Which is weird...😅
I absolutely love the “boyfriend blush” trend. As a square jaw girly, I’m so glad trends are focusing more on different face shapes rather than the typical diamond shape. I’ve felt so insecure about my jaw because it is deemed as a “masculine” feature so this trend, even if the true meaning is more lighthearted, is so reassuring :)
My sister is getting married in October, and she wants me to do her makeup. She requested a sabrina carpenter look, which will be lovely. She's pale, red-haired, and has lots of freckles, so that'll be perfect for her
I only heard about Sabrina Carpenter because Morgan Turner is always talking about her makeup. She may be popular to people in their 20s, but not to the rest of us. But Sabrina has cheek filler and that makes her cheeks pop, it’s not just the blush color and placement. It’s because her cheek shape makes the blush and highlight stand out. She was a child star so there’s plenty of old pics of her online so you can compare her face to now. When she got her recent hair style, it completed her look. The hair alone makes her look more interesting.
i don't think it's filler. she's been in the industry for a few years now - definitely before cheek fillers were popular and when she was still a minor - and her face is relatively the same. just more matured of course and a different style of makeup. typically those who have done cheek fillers would not want their cheeks to pop anymore than they already do lol.
Great video! I have to say, as a Black woman, I find the idea of defined lip liner being a trend really funny. I never downloaded TikTok so your perspectives on the makeup content there are always interesting to watch!
This video just reminds me of what I love about makeup. There’s so many different ways to do it, and while products can be part of the trend, you don’t need to go out and buy new things to try different blush placement or combining different techniques! ❤
I switched to the high blush placement -and recently realized I looked better, in my opinion, in my photos from before I switched to the high placement. So, totally agree with you!
I just switched to a mid blush placement to widen my upper mid face but I still bring it up into my hairline and temple ~ the blending it up is my favorite part of it
This video reminds me of an older video that I saw. If memory serves me correctly, it was something you did to lean into your eye shape. Instead of an upturned wing, you did a downturned wing. I love how you encourage us to be willing to embrace our naturally occurring features.🦋👩🦰
ABSOLUTELY do a video on manufactured trends and social media trends vs seen irl trends ❤ edit: your idea of matcha girl makeup was somewhat done through martini and dirty martini makeup!
Re: no mascara, I am loving a sort of “French waif” look lately with a strong lip/blush, no eyeshadow, and minimal mascara. I’ve gotten more compliments lately when doing that than any other look.
I have thicker brows and tried the laminated brows and they really distracted from the rest of my face. Looking in the mirror it was all I could see. Now I just use a gel to groom them into place without so much brushing up and it’s much more flattering on me
I’d love to see them bring out neutral blush. Like just mass produce a bunch of different nudes. Closer to skin tones. I know there are some out there, but they’re kinda more pinky or warm toned? So maybe more cool mauve options or brown-like nudes (in the drugstore especially)
@@monicapatton1405 yes! I actually had that on my Ulta wishlist for a while but then I realized that I had some lipsticks that were a similar tone so I’ve been using those instead 😅. Maybe once I use up some more products I’ll try that one out :)thank you so much for the recommendation 🩷
I love blue eyeshadow, but in a specific way on myself. Brown eyeshadow combined with a light or bright blue shimmer. Or just a pale blue inner corner. Or blue on the lower lashline. Love that! An all blue eyelook is a little bit harder to pull off though.
Agree 100% with the “latte” browns and the “sunburnt” blush. Those are hard to imagine ever going out of style. I also don’t like super laminated brows in theory but a bit of fluff up is the only way to get mine to look decent 😅
I think anyone can do sunset blush, just use a pink and orange/ peach that matches the depth of your skin; also, as someone whose favorite color is green, I would liveee for matcha makeup, but I also just bought a bunch of green eyeshadow because I just started getting into eyeshadow, so I’ll be doing that anyway
My cheeks are thinning as I age, and the high blush placement was just making my face look thinner. I switched to putting blush on the apples of my cheeks and I really enjoy it. I'm on the variety-in-placement-of-blush train!
IDK if everyone would count it as a blue, but the Sugarpill single in "CANDYCRUSH" is my fave icy blue. I use it as a shadow or lightly apply it as a highlighter [usually the latter]. It's such a fun look when I want to pretend I could be a character in "Zenon: Girl from the 21st Century". [Also, Sugarpill singles - especially their less popular shades like that - often go on sale & they have so much product that they last forever.]
@@wplants9793 I ended up with the J Cat one, I love it but it was a bit sparkly so randomly I got the icy blue Covergirl eye enhancers from amazon 🤷🏼♀️
I love that trends allow me to see my different options, try them out, and then stick with what i like, even if it goes out of style! I do the same thing with fashion trends: if i like it, i try it, and if i like it on myself, it stays in my arsenal lol
I HAVENT tried it yet but love the concept of boyfriend blush so much 😭 I have a rounder diamond ish face and I have never put my blush in the liften placement because it just emphasizes how wide my cheekbones are! That blush placement really only works for people with super chiseled supermodel faces. It looks so unnatural on everyone else. I’m glad we’re moving towards a rounder face since I feel like most average people have softer faces. I really wish we stopped doing things based on trends and started emphasizing placements that enhance your personal face shape
this is my favorite video i've watched since following you! it's honestly so enjoyable to hear you talk about the makeup, the trends and your insights. can you make this a regular feature? like a "makeup trend watch" or something that u do regularly, even if it's just on one trend? ❤ also i'm SO here for the matcha makeup look! take us there sis 😊
The no mascara trend, I LOVE the way some people do it. Especially with a lip focused look it can look amazing. I recently had eye surgery so I’ve been rocking that trend out of necessity for a few weeks and honestly, it’s grown on me. I still feel like I’ve got a ways to go with the overall balance of the look but I think a big part of it is just getting used to seeing my face without mascara, because it was something I’d typically auto-pilot put on every day without even thinking about it. It was the default and now I’m moving towards it not being. Which is interesting. I still like it btw, a lot, I just like exploring other kinds of makeup looks too.
Regarding the no mascara trend, I’ve always done it with just a simple wing and no eyeshadow. Gives me the definition I want without the hassle of another step in makeup removal. I can imagine putting a sheer sparkly topper with the liner as a successful no mascara look too.
At my age (over 60), lifting blush is a necessity! I won't be giving it up! I got over blue eyeshadow in 1977 - no need for me to revisit that old trend.
On the "no mascara" topic: if you dont love it on yourself, CURL YOUR LASHES (even if you're not going to wear mascara). You could even get that curler warm under hot water first for longevity of curl, and if you're not wearing a ton of eyeshadow, lighty dab a little castor oil on the lashes and BOOM, GORGEOUS! (The older I'm getting, the more sensitive to mascaras I'm becoming, so this has been a staple the last year. My lashes get complimented all the time, and its literally just because I've curled them) XOXOXO Love your channel, girlie!
It’s basically what works for the individual because everyone is so different. I love the pink blush trend but it looks horrible on me so I personally don’t wear it. I feel like people feel pressured to participate in every single trend they see and then roast themselves a couple years later
Hey Kelly, abt the blue eyeshadow: you’re either a soft autumn or a soft summer in terms of your coloring. I know you prefer warm tones, but I remember seeing you with silver jewelry in a video and thinking it looked so nice (but ofc things look different on camera) Assuming you’re a soft autumn, that would be why you don’t like blue on yourself. You would need a warm, soft, and muted blue! The blue eyeshadow trend favors cool blues
I don’t know why (maybe my mood today?) , but this video was so enjoyable that I could almost feel myself drool. You know that feeling where you find a tv show that you want to binge watch without blinking? Like that! 😂
I think you'd love the Redhead Revolution mascara bundle! One is like a warm dark blonde, so my perfect option for the no-mascara trend. The darker shade is the PERFECT warm brown colour, everyone keeps commenting on my how green my eyes look with it!
I've been doing no mascara for years. Mainly because i have really watery eyes and just don't want to bother with it everyday. Now I get to be trendy? Awesome!
I'm very much a women 50++ but I really enjoy watching your recommendations. I would like to try the sunset blush with soft coral. soft pink and soft gold highlighter. I'm Fair in Summer and Porcelain in Fall/ Winter. Love the smaller brows.!! So over the lifted blush but I think that's because it doesn't suit my face shape!! Continue your great work!!
Honestly as a round faced person, this boyfriend blush application is the only one that makes me feel like I've applied blush correctly and works for my face. The last few years had me going crazy thinking that I couldn't place blush properly because of the lifted blush trend.
❤ 1. Love the new list categories 2. I can appreciate the bf blush look cuz i am def sick lf seeing the high stark blush stripes. Garish how some ppl do it.
I’ve actually doing “boyfriend” blush for the last few months now without knowing the trend existed… I couldn’t agree with you more! I have a really round face and as I’ve gotten into my late twenties the snatched blush no longer has the same effect. I feel like putting blush on the apples of my cheeks kind of like a classic 2000s seventeen magazine tutorial style is way more flattering on me now
Same. I’ll die if the “sperm brow” version of this trend (where the front part of your brow is full and kind of rounded and the arch and tail of the brow is super thin) comes back. That was SO AWFUL back in the day.
NGL, I've barely heard of some of these trends, lol. I don’t have tt, just insta and the algorythm doesn’t show me much beauty content, so the only place I hear from these are your videos 😅😅
I'm with you, blue eyeshadow always feels super weird on myself! I have a cool undertone, and like wearing blue in my clothes, but have not found a blue eyeshadow look I enjoy wearing.
I haven't seen the 'no mascara' trend look good on anyone, It looks and unfinished. I do like brown and burgundy mascara. I have found that using a white mascara primer before a brown mascara helps it to look more chocolate brown and less soft black.
y'all don't know how scared i got when she talked about the matcha makeup because i recently fell in love with greenish eyeshadow and i was looking at some stuff about it on Instagram, and then she talked about it lol i was like girl how'd you know
I have to embrace the thin eyebrows trend wether I like it or not! Born in the 70’s and living by myself in the 90’s I didn’t have anyone stopping me, so I just have to live with the consequences😂. 💕
I figured out that best cheek blush placement for is either under eye or higher on my cheek bone. and my nose blush is either a clown-nose or a sun-burnt look. and it flows with my features ideally! I feel like upfront and lower blush placement is super cute for people with rounder and softer shaped faces! it just looks so nice and fresh.
I was just looking for a makeup trend list! So apropos!❤ I love the no mascara trend. I've been doing it unintentionally forever and now i'm finally trendy😂 They were just saying eyeshadow is dead & now they're doing blue eyeshadow. Huzzah! Blue & purple are my favs. The key is to find the blue shade in your personal seasonal color pallet.
My under eye darkness is way too strong for no mascara. I NEED to use eyelash curlers with mascara to walk out the door looking awake and bright eyed. Otherwise the under eyes are so prominent and I get comments about looking tired or sick.
Huh, you are onto something! I have some greenish darkness there as well and I feel much more comfortable with some brown in my lower lashline (or even a pop of color) and mascara than without, even if the most minimal looks usually skip the lower lashline almost completely.
I am 60+ and have seen trends just repeat and repeat. Thin eyebrows? ‘70’s. Lower blush placement? “Boyfriend blush”? Very 1980’s! (You would be stunned at how low I wore blush with my mullet!) What goes around comes around is so true!
The Latte makeup is similar to what I wore in college.
60 here… amen, sisters
I am 60 and we wore our foundation one shade lighter than our skin back in the 80s . This habit was so enforced by myself that I still do to this day. I still do 80s blush placement too.
❤🎉 And although I'm not a hundred years old, I'm here to say thin eyebrows were also 1930s... 😅
You had me in laughters @blackdiamond 😂😂😂
The boyfriend blush trend is honestly so validating to me. I have an autoimmune disorder that causes a lot of natural flushing and 'butterfly' kind of rash. The bf blush trend looks like my natural flushing and seeing people say it's beautiful has made me feel like such a cutie patootie lol
It looks like my rosacea too 😂
it’s honestly super cute. it’s not for everyone’s face but i like seeing it on people!

I live in Portland OR which is notoriously non makeup. But I am seeing a little bit more makeup on in real life people - but still not too much. On a variety of people, too not just in one area of town. Mostly a bold colorful eye. Secondly a winged eyeliner. More men wearing makeup outside of Ulta and Sephora. Sometimes lashes.

It is exactly where my rosacea shows up on my face!! 😹
Or, "marathon finish line photo"
I see this blush placement in kids running around outside too.
I call it drunk look
As someone who wears a lot of colorful eyeshadow, I wanna make a recommendation when you’re moving toward blue eyeshadow. If you have a warm or neutral skin tone especially. Wear a peach blush, a warm neutral bronzer, a warm crease shade. Think of blue like the sky and add some sunset colors to anchor it. If you’re not a person who loves cool tones on themselves- blue offers you such an easy opportunity to wear it because it looks so good and easy with warm and very warm tones. Yeah it goes great with greens and purples- but it pulls double duty really well.
A video on manufactured trends would be so interesting!
Boyfriend blush looks like the "She just came out of the back room with her boyfriend" lol!
That’s what I thought the name meant! That or your boyfriend put on your blush for you and didn’t know what he was doing. 😂
I thought the exact same thing. The boyfriend blush looks like "Heavy make out session" and all flustered now. 😆
Or I can't stop thinking about him. I'm all flushed. It is cute though.
Or just came out of the back room with her best friend’s boyfriend is more like it.

I see so many cool toned people completely wash themselves out or make themselves look muddy just because everybody wants to be golden and warm and it frustrates me a lot. Especially because all neutral eyeshadow launches seem to come in the same shades of orange, which honestly doesn’t suit most skin tones. I personally don’t suit orange based shades and look best in softer yellow based or peachy colors, which are rare in western makeup but very common in eastern makeup brands. It seems everything comes in the same shades of orange. It was a breath of fresh air to watch people discover new color
Same why is thereso much orange stuff. Ive always used blush and it's lovelypink
I LOVE the no mascara trend. It’s for me for sure. In addition I don’t like washing mascara off at night so it works perfect for me❤
same. washing mascara off is always effort and i’ll probably lose a lash or two 😭 don’t have that many tubing formulas locally available.
So do you just wear eyeliner to get the definition? Mascara irritates my eyes, and I’ve tried a ton, so I want to try this no mascara thing…I just end up putting it on because I also feel like my look is incomplete..maybe I just have to get used to the look 😊
I stopped wearing mascara when I started accepting myself as a guy because it's the one step that INSTANTLY feminizes my features... But I still enjoy playing in my makeup collection. And honestly, unless I put on a shadow that gives me powdery lashes? I don't miss it too much. It's only when you're looking for it that you notice a look feels "incomplete", if that makes sense?? It's like how most people didn't gel/fill their eyebrows before 2010s & they still looked great.
@@zarisundiata7744I usually line my waterline [not for everyone's tastes] & will often lightly line my upper lid w/ a medium to dark shadow if I need more definition. But it's kinda something you get used to looking at after a while & most people don't notice, anyway.
@@zarisundiata7744 sometimes I’ll put on a tiny bit of brown powder liner on my outer corner, but most of the time I go without. I put some blush or bronzer on my lids to blend with the rest of my face, but that’s it! If you feel the look is incomplete, you can curl your lashes. Or get a lash lift and tint to get the mascara effect without having to put mascara on
i have a rounder face and honestly the blush placement of the boyfriend blush was a game changer for me. the high blush always looked weird on me and same for the apples of the cheeks or too close to the eyes. this placement looks just right for my face structure but i don't wear it as pigmented as your photo examples
I think choosing which trends are for you is all about knowing what tones and shades flatter and what shapes flatter.
“Love that for you” is how I feel about most trends. I’m not really experimental with my makeup.
I have an autoimmune disease that causes the butterfly rash. and with these blush trends, for the first time, I feel like I can just put on some tinted moisturizer and feel pretty. I've had random strangers compliment my makeup, and I'm like, girl, it's a flare-up. I'm so relieved not to try to cover it with full coverage makeup all of the time.
the kosas packaging breaking on you with yet another product leads me to believe that it's their packaging that's the problem, not your super strong grip
Exactly
People diss drugstore makeup for the packaging, meanwhile they're paying $40+ for a face powder w/ pretty packaging that breaks if you look at it too hard. HARD PASS.
I think it’s interesting how “cheek” products keep being the products of a decade. 2000s were bronzer, started at the temples and cheeks, made it to the whole face and neck. 2010’s were highlighter. Started just at the very top of the cheekbones, ended up on the nose, chin, forehead everywhere again. Now blush, from apples of the cheeks to everywhere once again. Like we have other trends of course, but cheek products just keep getting bigger until we’re sick of it altogether.
How do you think contouring fits into this? I can't remember when contouring started getting popular.
@@loosilu I think contouring really took off in the 2016ish glam era due to Kim k. It has always kind of been shown to be an “all over the face” technique, but I think you’re right that people mainly focused on contouring the cheeks and then we started getting charts showing contour and highlight across the whole face, either with foundation or essentially replacing foundation altogether.
If people want to do the no mascara invest in a clear mascara. Then use an eyelash curler that fits your eyes. The clear mascara coats the lashes and it helps keep a curl.
Ooh, that's genius!! I sometimes get powdery lashes when I set my lids for a neutral look & usually just have to carefully rinse them w/ a q-tip or do a smokey powder liner to darken the fallout, lmao. I always forget they make those because I used to think they were silly when I was younger. 😂🤣
I love trends that go against those "rules" or that kind of reimagine things. I’m definitely here for different blush placements (especially the non lifting ones), no mascara looks or mixed metal jewelry.
Personally I’m a lifted blush girly because of my fave shape. Also, the “boyfriend blush?” Should def be renaissance blush trend 😂 i definitely agree with you that one size does not fit all.
Yes, "boyfriend blush" looks like a literal Marie Antoinette portrait, although I think calling it "Rococo" is more accurate than renaissance.
@@diamondinmyeye6160Oh, yes, I would love if we all call it Rococo blush!
i think the no mascara look is also very renaissance!
Call it Bridgerton Blush!
I am so excited about all the purple blush and lip gloss coming out! I am very cool toned and I am LOVING the options! the new GIVE beauty liquid blush in Purple Irises with the matching lip gel is iconic! Also been loving Persona Jam as well!
I have not seen blue eyeshadow trend in the wild since the 80s/early 90s! It's interesting that blue was THE eyeshadow color back in the day (like before I was even born.) It doesn't go with every outfit let alone every skin tone, but it used to be in the standard everyday routine for a rather long period. Even when I was a kid blue was the only non-nude color you could find readily available.
It's funny I'm 24 and I frequently wear blue eyeshadow, I almost feel like it's classic and timeless because it's been around since the 20s, and I feel like it looks good with my brown eyes
I’m 30 and always grew up drawing my ladies with blue eyeshadow, i remember mum wearing blue eyeshadow and then when i discovered makeup at like 8 i would also smear blue eyeshadow all over my eyelids! And i have green eyes so it’s not like it looked good on me!! And then in high school when i finally got used to putting eyeliner on i would use bright blue eyeliner, ahhh now i own like 1 blue eye palette and it was inspired by a character in the UK tv show ‘Skins’, other than that I hardly wear blue makeup now!
Oh, great, my rosacea is on trend! 😂
Jokes aside I do like that the boyfriend blush introduces again a new placement when everything was about "lifting" recently. I love to have fun with my blush, with placement, color or styles, sometimes make it shimmery sometimes matte, etc. I love that this boyfriend blush has more of a 90s placement too. I've been trying out that 90s blush for a while and I like it.
What I don't love about the boyfriend blush is how unblended it is. That look works for like editorial or very edgy looks but for the average makeup I don't think you want unblended blush. It makes it look more like a rash or rosacea too. Which is weird...😅
I absolutely love the “boyfriend blush” trend. As a square jaw girly, I’m so glad trends are focusing more on different face shapes rather than the typical diamond shape. I’ve felt so insecure about my jaw because it is deemed as a “masculine” feature so this trend, even if the true meaning is more lighthearted, is so reassuring :)
Strong jawlines age really well tho!! Be proud of your features 😁
I’d love your video on manufactured trends!
My sister is getting married in October, and she wants me to do her makeup. She requested a sabrina carpenter look, which will be lovely. She's pale, red-haired, and has lots of freckles, so that'll be perfect for her
I only heard about Sabrina Carpenter because Morgan Turner is always talking about her makeup. She may be popular to people in their 20s, but not to the rest of us. But Sabrina has cheek filler and that makes her cheeks pop, it’s not just the blush color and placement. It’s because her cheek shape makes the blush and highlight stand out. She was a child star so there’s plenty of old pics of her online so you can compare her face to now. When she got her recent hair style, it completed her look. The hair alone makes her look more interesting.
I dont think she had cheek fillers. He face is naturally soft and full.. as is her body type. I dont know. She looks natural
i don't think it's filler. she's been in the industry for a few years now - definitely before cheek fillers were popular and when she was still a minor - and her face is relatively the same. just more matured of course and a different style of makeup. typically those who have done cheek fillers would not want their cheeks to pop anymore than they already do lol.
I’m in my 30s and like Sabrina I’m confused by the assessment
Boyfriend blush just looks like rosacea. Love the sunset blush & Sabrina carpenter trends
As an Asian gal with short non existent eyelashes, til I’ve been doing the no mascara trend since I started using makeup lol
Curious if you’ve tried the Judydoll Korean beauty mascara? I keep seeing it and finally ordered the other day
@@stacifromtexas It’s so expensive so I haven’t tried. Could you let me know how you like it?
I have no idea who Sabrina is but it’s a very 80’s look she’s sporting.
I agree!
Listen to 'Espresso' it's such an earworm
she’s a singer and former disney actress. has some great music!
@@thatsydviciouswhy would anyone voluntarily do that? I just got rid of my last one (earworm) 😖
A very toned down 80s look perhaps! I don't remember many women who demonstrated that much restraint with blush application 😆
Great video! I have to say, as a Black woman, I find the idea of defined lip liner being a trend really funny.
I never downloaded TikTok so your perspectives on the makeup content there are always interesting to watch!
Hey Kelly, that's a great idea to do a manufactured trend type of video. That would be interesting. Boyfriend blush sounds like 2010s boyfriend jeans.
This video just reminds me of what I love about makeup. There’s so many different ways to do it, and while products can be part of the trend, you don’t need to go out and buy new things to try different blush placement or combining different techniques! ❤
I switched to the high blush placement -and recently realized I looked better, in my opinion, in my photos from before I switched to the high placement. So, totally agree with you!
I just switched to a mid blush placement to widen my upper mid face but I still bring it up into my hairline and temple ~ the blending it up is my favorite part of it
I LOVE thin eyebrows. Especially the 1920s Marlene Dietrich almost-drawn-on effect. Bloody GORGEOUS ❤️
This video reminds me of an older video that I saw. If memory serves me correctly, it was something you did to lean into your eye shape. Instead of an upturned wing, you did a downturned wing. I love how you encourage us to be willing to embrace our naturally occurring features.🦋👩🦰
ABSOLUTELY do a video on manufactured trends and social media trends vs seen irl trends ❤
edit: your idea of matcha girl makeup was somewhat done through martini and dirty martini makeup!
Re: no mascara, I am loving a sort of “French waif” look lately with a strong lip/blush, no eyeshadow, and minimal mascara. I’ve gotten more compliments lately when doing that than any other look.
I have thicker brows and tried the laminated brows and they really distracted from the rest of my face. Looking in the mirror it was all I could see. Now I just use a gel to groom them into place without so much brushing up and it’s much more flattering on me
I’m LIVING for blue eyeshadow and stark lip liner, so cool 🩵
I’d love to see them bring out neutral blush. Like just mass produce a bunch of different nudes. Closer to skin tones. I know there are some out there, but they’re kinda more pinky or warm toned? So maybe more cool mauve options or brown-like nudes (in the drugstore especially)
If you have tried the NYX “Nude Tude” blush I highly recommend it. And yes! I’ve been very into those colors for cheek lately.
@@monicapatton1405 yes! I actually had that on my Ulta wishlist for a while but then I realized that I had some lipsticks that were a similar tone so I’ve been using those instead 😅. Maybe once I use up some more products I’ll try that one out :)thank you so much for the recommendation 🩷
I love blue eyeshadow, but in a specific way on myself. Brown eyeshadow combined with a light or bright blue shimmer. Or just a pale blue inner corner. Or blue on the lower lashline. Love that! An all blue eyelook is a little bit harder to pull off though.
I’m 40 and I even prefer to put blush on the apples or my cheeks then drag it up a bit towards my temple. But not where highlighter goes
This is what I’ve always done and will likely always do too
“Tomato girl” is so adorable
I feel like kelly is rocking tomato girl for this video
Agree 100% with the “latte” browns and the “sunburnt” blush. Those are hard to imagine ever going out of style. I also don’t like super laminated brows in theory but a bit of fluff up is the only way to get mine to look decent 😅
I think anyone can do sunset blush, just use a pink and orange/ peach that matches the depth of your skin; also, as someone whose favorite color is green, I would liveee for matcha makeup, but I also just bought a bunch of green eyeshadow because I just started getting into eyeshadow, so I’ll be doing that anyway
I do think sunset blush is so pretty
My cheeks are thinning as I age, and the high blush placement was just making my face look thinner. I switched to putting blush on the apples of my cheeks and I really enjoy it. I'm on the variety-in-placement-of-blush train!
I've been getting into icy blue eyeshadow lately, I actually spent weeks hunting to the right one!
Which one did you get?? I tried the Elf cookies n dream palate a couple years ago and it didn’t do it for me
IDK if everyone would count it as a blue, but the Sugarpill single in "CANDYCRUSH" is my fave icy blue. I use it as a shadow or lightly apply it as a highlighter [usually the latter]. It's such a fun look when I want to pretend I could be a character in "Zenon: Girl from the 21st Century".
[Also, Sugarpill singles - especially their less popular shades like that - often go on sale & they have so much product that they last forever.]
@@wplants9793 I ended up with the J Cat one, I love it but it was a bit sparkly so randomly I got the icy blue Covergirl eye enhancers from amazon 🤷🏼♀️
Also the one trend I’m LIVING FOR and have always loved is more cool toned makeup … especially cool toned lips!
I love that trends allow me to see my different options, try them out, and then stick with what i like, even if it goes out of style! I do the same thing with fashion trends: if i like it, i try it, and if i like it on myself, it stays in my arsenal lol
I HAVENT tried it yet but love the concept of boyfriend blush so much 😭 I have a rounder diamond ish face and I have never put my blush in the liften placement because it just emphasizes how wide my cheekbones are! That blush placement really only works for people with super chiseled supermodel faces. It looks so unnatural on everyone else. I’m glad we’re moving towards a rounder face since I feel like most average people have softer faces. I really wish we stopped doing things based on trends and started emphasizing placements that enhance your personal face shape
this is my favorite video i've watched since following you! it's honestly so enjoyable to hear you talk about the makeup, the trends and your insights. can you make this a regular feature? like a "makeup trend watch" or something that u do regularly, even if it's just on one trend? ❤
also i'm SO here for the matcha makeup look! take us there sis 😊
The no mascara trend, I LOVE the way some people do it. Especially with a lip focused look it can look amazing.
I recently had eye surgery so I’ve been rocking that trend out of necessity for a few weeks and honestly, it’s grown on me. I still feel like I’ve got a ways to go with the overall balance of the look but I think a big part of it is just getting used to seeing my face without mascara, because it was something I’d typically auto-pilot put on every day without even thinking about it. It was the default and now I’m moving towards it not being. Which is interesting.
I still like it btw, a lot, I just like exploring other kinds of makeup looks too.
Regarding the no mascara trend, I’ve always done it with just a simple wing and no eyeshadow. Gives me the definition I want without the hassle of another step in makeup removal. I can imagine putting a sheer sparkly topper with the liner as a successful no mascara look too.
At my age (over 60), lifting blush is a necessity! I won't be giving it up!
I got over blue eyeshadow in 1977 - no need for me to revisit that old trend.
Andreea Ali does a beautiful blue eye. She is such a class act.
On the "no mascara" topic:
if you dont love it on yourself, CURL YOUR LASHES (even if you're not going to wear mascara). You could even get that curler warm under hot water first for longevity of curl, and if you're not wearing a ton of eyeshadow, lighty dab a little castor oil on the lashes and BOOM, GORGEOUS!
(The older I'm getting, the more sensitive to mascaras I'm becoming, so this has been a staple the last year. My lashes get complimented all the time, and its literally just because I've curled them) XOXOXO
Love your channel, girlie!
It’s basically what works for the individual because everyone is so different. I love the pink blush trend but it looks horrible on me so I personally don’t wear it. I feel like people feel pressured to participate in every single trend they see and then roast themselves a couple years later
Hey Kelly, abt the blue eyeshadow: you’re either a soft autumn or a soft summer in terms of your coloring. I know you prefer warm tones, but I remember seeing you with silver jewelry in a video and thinking it looked so nice (but ofc things look different on camera) Assuming you’re a soft autumn, that would be why you don’t like blue on yourself. You would need a warm, soft, and muted blue! The blue eyeshadow trend favors cool blues
i love the no mascara trend! one of my go-to looks is a lot of bronze eyeliner with no mascara- it makes brown eyes pop so well!!
Bored: exclusive and limited edition. Count me out: sold out. Bored: glowy.
I love the no mascara look! It’s literally all I’ve been doing lately 💕
I don’t know why (maybe my mood today?) , but this video was so enjoyable that I could almost feel myself drool.
You know that feeling where you find a tv show that you want to binge watch without blinking? Like that! 😂
Hahahha I love Kellys personality coming through in this video, pink pink pink! So cute!
I’m HERE for a matcha girl trend! 🍵🍀🔋💚
Love your channel and really love your longer videos lately :)
Thank you so much!
I love thinner eyebrows too!!!! Works best for my face.
I agree with you on everything! Blue eyeshadow especially... I have blue eyes to blue eyeshadow is a definite no for me.
Ohhh I thought boyfriend blush is supposed to be a post woohoo flush…🤭
You don’t need a boyfriend for that. - but I get what you’re saying 😆
Bahaa
I think you'd love the Redhead Revolution mascara bundle! One is like a warm dark blonde, so my perfect option for the no-mascara trend. The darker shade is the PERFECT warm brown colour, everyone keeps commenting on my how green my eyes look with it!
I've been doing no mascara for years. Mainly because i have really watery eyes and just don't want to bother with it everyday. Now I get to be trendy? Awesome!
😂😂😂😂
I'm too cheap to constantly replace after 3 months. Not for me.
I thought they call it the “boyfriend blush”, because it looks as if your boyfriend put blush on you!! 🤣🤣🤣
Same!!
Looooooooool
😂😂
I have a very round face with chubby cheeks and I love emphasizing it. I definitely dabble. It’s soft and pretty.
Of course you should start matcha girl trend! There is even Yucca eyeshadow palette for that
I'm very much a women 50++ but I really enjoy watching your recommendations. I would like to try the sunset blush with soft coral. soft pink and soft gold highlighter. I'm Fair in Summer and Porcelain in Fall/ Winter. Love the smaller brows.!! So over the lifted blush but I think that's because it doesn't suit my face shape!! Continue your great work!!
Honestly as a round faced person, this boyfriend blush application is the only one that makes me feel like I've applied blush correctly and works for my face. The last few years had me going crazy thinking that I couldn't place blush properly because of the lifted blush trend.
lol boyfriend blush is just my rosacea
I am dying over your earrings in this video!! I LOVE them! 🩷
Where did you get them?!?
Thank you! They’re from Kendra Scott
❤ 1. Love the new list categories
2. I can appreciate the bf blush look cuz i am def sick lf seeing the high stark blush stripes. Garish how some ppl do it.
I've seen mum's set the lip liner with translucent powder xx
Ooh smart!
@@KellyGooch sorry Kelly I meant mum's xx
I would love to see a manufactured trend list!!
I always called that "boyfriend" blush placement "cherub" blush.
Calling it that is much ethereal and gorgeous.
I’ve actually doing “boyfriend” blush for the last few months now without knowing the trend existed… I couldn’t agree with you more! I have a really round face and as I’ve gotten into my late twenties the snatched blush no longer has the same effect. I feel like putting blush on the apples of my cheeks kind of like a classic 2000s seventeen magazine tutorial style is way more flattering on me now
The no mascara trend looks artsy and edgy. Kinda love it!
I was a teen of the 90s. Nope I’ll never go back to that. How about embracing your natural shape.
I’m over the lifted blush , it looks good if that’s what you want but I like the plain old blush look
The thin brows give me PTSD flashbacks 😅
Same. I’ll die if the “sperm brow” version of this trend (where the front part of your brow is full and kind of rounded and the arch and tail of the brow is super thin) comes back. That was SO AWFUL back in the day.
Mine never really grew back!! 😂😂
@@xqueenfrostine those need to stay burried!!! LOL
@@xqueenfrostinehahaha “sperm brow”
It gives me 1920s flapper girl brow and the lips as well.
Boyfriend Blush looks like my existing rosacea I try to cover up. :/
And now we're trending with 'tomato girl' makeup 😂 Look at us goooo
i think it’s a wonderful sign to not cover it all up!
@@NotImpressed22 😂😂 🙌
NGL, I've barely heard of some of these trends, lol. I don’t have tt, just insta and the algorythm doesn’t show me much beauty content, so the only place I hear from these are your videos 😅😅
I'm with you, blue eyeshadow always feels super weird on myself! I have a cool undertone, and like wearing blue in my clothes, but have not found a blue eyeshadow look I enjoy wearing.
I do love sunburn blush for summer
I have green eyes and the Colourpop Sage pallet. Bring on the matcha look!
I haven't seen the 'no mascara' trend look good on anyone, It looks and unfinished. I do like brown and burgundy mascara. I have found that using a white mascara primer before a brown mascara helps it to look more chocolate brown and less soft black.
y'all don't know how scared i got when she talked about the matcha makeup because i recently fell in love with greenish eyeshadow and i was looking at some stuff about it on Instagram, and then she talked about it lol i was like girl how'd you know
I have to embrace the thin eyebrows trend wether I like it or not! Born in the 70’s and living by myself in the 90’s I didn’t have anyone stopping me, so I just have to live with the consequences😂. 💕
Same 😂
🙋♀️ same here! 😂
I figured out that best cheek blush placement for is either under eye or higher on my cheek bone. and my nose blush is either a clown-nose or a sun-burnt look. and it flows with my features ideally!
I feel like upfront and lower blush placement is super cute for people with rounder and softer shaped faces! it just looks so nice and fresh.
I was just looking for a makeup trend list! So apropos!❤
I love the no mascara trend. I've been doing it unintentionally forever and now i'm finally trendy😂
They were just saying eyeshadow is dead & now they're doing blue eyeshadow. Huzzah! Blue & purple are my favs. The key is to find the blue shade in your personal seasonal color pallet.
I got color analysis done and it now makes sense why coral blushes have never worked for me. Cool pinks seem to be it for me with my fair cool skin.
My under eye darkness is way too strong for no mascara. I NEED to use eyelash curlers with mascara to walk out the door looking awake and bright eyed. Otherwise the under eyes are so prominent and I get comments about looking tired or sick.
Huh, you are onto something! I have some greenish darkness there as well and I feel much more comfortable with some brown in my lower lashline (or even a pop of color) and mascara than without, even if the most minimal looks usually skip the lower lashline almost completely.
I think tone down and the proper brow shape can look like nice 2016 brows as long as the brows aren’t to dark and no dark black pomade.
