Beauty and fashion trends are constantly changing. Whether old trends are making a comeback or new trends are coming up. These trends and their changes are influenced because of cultural changes, social changes, and new finds in the fashion world.
Some of the most popular trends such as Y2K, low-rise jeans, platform shoes, baggy jeans, cargo pants, etc. It’s very common for past trends to make a comeback and become more popular than they were in the past, but that isn’t always the case. You also have some trends that come and go very quickly like cracked nail polish, acid-washed clothes, leggings under skirts, etc.
Beauty trends are similar in the sense of making comebacks. In my opinion, the big trend right now for beauty and makeup looks is clean-looking makeup. Minimalism is a very popular trend in fashion and beauty. I think that the trend will stay around for a while, or if it dies out soon it will have a large comeback. But that isn’t the only makeup trend right now, dark eye/ lip looks are also very popular, like a cat eye.
One makeup trend that lasted for a few months in 2023 that I don’t personally think should make a comeback or will is blacked eyebrows. Bleached eyebrows were very popular and trending all over TikTok and other popular social media platforms. Eyebrows always have their own phases and time frames of different looks, like the dark boxy eyebrows in the late 2000’s or the thin brows that were popular during COVID.
Some of the more popular clothing trends right now are crochet clothes, leather jackets and skirts, trench coats, fur jackets/ hats, ear muffs, backless shirts/ dresses, and mini skirts. As I said earlier many of these trends were also trends in the early 2000’s and are just making a comeback. It is very popular to dress in very monochrome colors, not so bright colors. Black clothing pieces are the biggest staple to have in your closet ranging from a black shirt to black booties.
Now to makeup, as I said earlier minimalist makeup looks and clean girl makeup are very popular. During COVID-19, it was popular to wear lots of makeup, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it’s not the most popular makeup trend right now. I think it’s the biggest trend right now to look “clean” and have the “clean girl aesthetic”.
The clean girl aesthetic includes a very strong sense of fashion. From your hair to your makeup/ skincare and what you’re wearing. The clean girl look starts with a slick-back hair look, which is the most popular hair trend right now. The makeup is a dewy look with no makeup makeup look. And the clothes are just a basic matching set. Walking around campus I see almost every girl with this look, including me. It is just a feel-good look and makes you feel like you fit in with everyone.
