We all know that beauty trends often come and go. What was popular back in 2016 is pretty much out now. However, it would be fun to look back at what the beauty craze was back then compared to today.
Well, that seems to be the topic of the latest TikTok beauty challenge. So let's see what it's all about. Shall we?
And my favorite ones are beauty tutorials. I'm not going to lie, I need a lot of help in that department, hee, hee. Somehow, I don't think I was born with that "talented makeup application" gene.
The challenge is called #2016vs2021, and the premise is quite simple. The videos show you step-by-step makeup routines that beauty junkies used to do in 2016 compared to today's trends.
So on one side, they show you the makeup trends from 2016 and on the other today's trends. Oh, my. Isn't that totally genius of them, huh?
Do you remember when it was all about the Kim Kardashian-inspired contouring? Ugh! I honestly never got into that — I'm too lazy, ha, ha! How about you? Did you do it, too?
Or is it just me who thinks so? I love glowing skin as much as the next person but some folks took it to the next level, no?
Those days are long gone now. Instead, today I opt for a little shimmer on my eyes, and that suits me just fine.
What the heck was that all about, huh? Did you ever jump on that bandwagon? I'm happy to report that I did not. Honestly, in my opinion, this look was way too heavy, at least for my delicate skin.
But I'm so glad to see this trend go. Instead, I'm a lot more at ease doing the soap brows technique. I think it looks that much more natural and softer.
I definitely prefer today's softer and more natural looks. The heavy makeup never suited me — especially since I hardly ever wear any these days.
