Farewell, not forever – Style – Kommersant

Kommersant Style talks about popular make-up and hair color fads that are likely to be abandoned in the near future, and finds out why their time has run out.

There are trends that are guaranteed to stand the test of time (such as the same classic red lipstick), but there are those that still rotate and from time to time become a thing of the past. Final or not – time will tell.

Two tone hair

The popularity of the villainess Cruella has increased the demand for contrasting colors – one black and the other light. Colorists believe that this trend will soon disappear, because maintaining the original brightness and clarity of color is a rather troublesome and expensive story. Plus, like any trendy fad, this trend quickly becomes boring, and above all to the owner of such coloring.

Facial contouring

The well-drawn contours of the faces of the social media divas give way to a shimmer — a healthy glow, as if a person has just returned from the sea coast. And in general, applying too much makeup fades into the background. It may look cool in the photo, but in real life, such a make-up overloads the face and looks artificial.

bleached eyebrows

The trend that looks perfect on Tilda Swinton, as it turned out, is not for everyone. “Etched eyebrows give a rather strange alien effect, and besides, such bleaching is traumatic for hairs,” says independent makeup artist Yuri Ananov. eyebrows.”

early gray hair

Coloring in gray and silver hair also gradually disappears. It’s simple: this trend can be very sharp and unflattering for most skin tones (that is, it simply doesn’t suit a person), and besides, no matter what the proponents of natural aging say, gray hair adds age, and psychologically it is not easy for everyone.

Clear eyebrows

Square, well-drawn brows are finally officially a thing of the past (hooray). “Natural, light, fluffy and neat eyebrows are back in trend,” says Yuri Ananov.

Too much bronzer

In an attempt to prolong the life of a natural tan, many people apply too much auto bronzer upon returning from vacation, which can cause the skin to turn orange. Experts advise to wait until the tan completely disappears, and only after that work on acquiring a new one. As a makeup tool, you should choose a matte bronzer that will not add unnecessary shine to the skin, and test auto bronzers first on the wrist before applying to the whole body.

eyelash extension

Many makeup artists dream of having eyelash extensions disappear from everyday life. When they are chosen for a special occasion, such as a wedding or shooting, they are a great way to emphasize the eyes. The problem is that they look really great for two or three days, and then they start to change their position, wobble and damage real lashes.

Outline black arrows

The exits of Yulia Fox will forever remain in our memory, but in the new year we will take with us soft, smoky arrows, which, although they will not look so dramatic, will become a more universal touch to any look.

glass skin

The trend introduced by Chinese tiktokers is becoming a thing of the past – in real life, a person with a “glass” face is puzzling. To avoid the effect of a wet (or oily?) face, makeup artists advise highlighting several strategically important areas with a highlighter: cheekbones, bridge of the nose or chin.
