I would like to see more individuality and people embracing what works for them instead of copying what’s trending. Everyone on my socials looks the same and you can tell a lot of these styles and trends aren’t authentic to them.
It’s amazing and incredibly sad how 2 people like let’s say Kim and Kylie can have such a huge influence on such a large majority. 😓 I cannot wait for the day (I’ll probably be long gone unfortunately) when we don’t live like we’ve been living. I’m talking about our society as a whole. Where a small group of people will not have the power to influence/control people like it has been for far too long. Where people don’t care about all that unnecessary crap. 😩 It is so unhealthy and toxic! For the greater good and happiness and wellbeing of humanity I hope it comes soon! 🫶🏼🙏🏼
@@chelseazaydaraensehon1198 I don't see that being natural and not conforming to beauty norms and standards is going to change. Not on these platforms.
the dark lip liner with clear or beige lip gloss is huge in the latinx and BIPOC community, and it looks gorgeous - Alexa Demie (euphoria) has been doing it as an homage to Selena and it has deep cultural significance. I am over hailey bieber and kylie jenner treating these communities traditions as trends - but it literally is so stunning on medium - deep skin tones.
I’ve always been insecure about my round and more full face, but now that I’m seeing all of this buckle fat removal, I think I appreciate my face more! If anything it looks more youthful and will age more gracefully. I agree that those who are getting this buckle fat removal as a fad are going to regret it later in life.
Appreciate that facial fat! I hated mine and the round face it gave me until I got older. I can’t imagine how gaunt these girls faces will be once the hit their 40’s. They will definitely need fat transfers.
Same! This guy called me moonface and I about lost my marbles! He said he wasn’t saying it in a bad way but I was like how in the hell did you think that was a compliment or in a positive way? 🙃 But I always get told that I don’t look my age (32) that I look like I’m in my early twenties 🙌🏼🌝 So maybe having a “moon face” will help us in the long haul! 🏆 🤭
I really want to see the term "anti-aging" go away! I want to see more normalization around aging, especially towards women. The hostility that women in particular experience if they start to "look their age" (do we even know what a 30, 40, 50 y/o etc. is supposed to look like?) is insane. I would much prefer to see discussions surrounding natural, healthy, graceful aging. To be blunt, I'm happy to be aging because otherwise I'd be dead. Don't get me wrong, I have a pretty specific skincare routine and I do use a retinoid, vitamin c, peptides, etc, but it's because I really want my skin to be healthy and happy, and I want to be confident in my skin and age gracefully.
Wow your attitude on this topic is so refreshing. Anti-aging really is a silly term. I enjoy skincare but my objective is to look good for the age I am. Seems like a small change in perspective but it has granted me an unexpected and enormous amount of happiness and I think it will serve you well too.
I know right! it's honestly how sad gen z (my generation) is scared of aging. I remember freaking out at seeing lines on my face, too. I think we've all grown up with all these anti aging commercials and being surrounded by the idea that women's only value is their youthful looks, which is absolutely strange and awful.
what no I actually really like it it makes makeup more fun and exciting. I‘d just hope it wouldn’t be copied by everyone and except there’d be more different ideas
Same. When you tubers post shorts of “trying this ____ makeup trend!” and then it’s just them putting on the same makeup they always wear with like a different lip gloss and blush……..
As a nurse, I’d like to add to the body trend convo: Celebrities are utilizing obesity/diabetic weekly injections that are in short supply for people who truly need them for their health and not vanity reasons.
On top of the fact that some insurance companies aren’t covering these drugs for people who need them and can’t afford to spend $1200/month to get them.
Wow, that’s really upsetting to me. My grandmother has diabetes and has had to go into the hospital a few times in the last few years because her insurance would just stop covering insulin at random, and she couldn’t afford it out of pocket. She could have died.
The Latina in me will never let go of the dark lip liner clear lip gloss combo. That's not even a recent trend. That's been a thing since the 90s chola makeup era. Ever since I started doing my makeup I've always had heavy lip liner, but it does not suit everyone.
I was thinking this - this is a cultural thing. Same thing with the nails, those are cultural to the black community. I love Abbey and wish she was a bit more educated on the history of these trends and where they originally came from. The lips and nails aren't new!!
I have curly hair and I see a lot of people telling us to not use silicones when without it detangling my hair would be pretty much impossible like NO. I’d love to see less hate towards silicones in haircare!
SAME! The Curly Girl Method seems really messed up to me. Demonizing silicones deprives a lot of curly girls of a cheap + easy way to moisturize and detangle their hair. I SWEAR by silicones for moisture and detangling. The CGM will never take them away from me.
i realized before shaving my head that i had wavy hair. i tried the no silicones vibe and my waves were so great, but at the cost of extreme breakage from lack of protection 😢
Honestly! My hair has never been so thin and frizzy and unmanageable than me switching over to sulfate/silicone free, so lately I’ve been going back to regular shampoos (mostly ones used in salons) to see how that works now.
I would like to see more influencers accepting getting older instead of being in constant pursuit of everything anti-aging. Gen Z seems to be afraid of aging and that is concerning.
Yes!! I had one earlier this month argue with me about sunscreen when I told her I use to prevent skin cancer. Apparently, you're not allowed to have an opinion about SPF if you are over 40
As a older gen z…yeah ): it’s something I’m trying to work on but unconsciously, I’m trying not to move my face very much and I use several anti aging products. Even though I’m 22, I feel like I look 29. I’m very aware of any new lines on my skin. I don’t know what it is, but sometimes I feel like I can’t help but hyper-fixate
@@soude85 thanks for the “advice,” but they’re actually not imaginary. They exist and that’s why I’m so fixated on them. I have really deep forehead wrinkles for my age bc I constantly have my eyebrows raised-when I’m sitting at my desk, driving, on my phone, they’re always raised. thanks tho 🙄
Omg yes I’d love to see natural healthy nails as a trend! I feel a personal snootiness when other women notice I don’t get my nails done. I crochet, play guitar and ukulele, and have a collection of over 50 houseplants. Those things are way more important to me than having fresh nails every other week.
Yes! I had this revelation recently! Just took off my nails and not getting them redone because I realized I’d rather be rock climbing, playing guitar and piano…etc. although it is a mood boost having my nails done, I’d rather do these more life giving activities!
@@candacehope1044 absolutely :) It’s definitely good for a quick pick-me-up but I realized that it made all of my favorite activities more difficult in the long run! That or I wasn’t operating at full capacity out of fear of messing up my nails 😅
I agree. I actually think natural/healthy nails are trending now, with the classy girl / old money aesthetic. The classy look is more about natural, well-groomed nails, and not long nails. It's similar to how the royal family does them.
I am HERE for the brown mascara. As a redhead and very very fair, black mascara is SO harsh on my skin tone. My absolute beloved brown mascara (Covergirl Flourish) was discontinued and now its feeling so impossible to find another good brown mascara.
I’m also fair and have reddish blonde hair, and I have been using Maybelline ‘Falsies’ mascara since my teens! I used to always use a harsh black (it worked as I dyed my hair all different kinds of colors for a long time), but now I’m using their brownish-black and I love it! :)
The Latino community and POC in general have been doing the dark liner and clear gloss for decades. It had a history from when people couldn't find lip liners in their shade so they used eyeliner because that's what they had access to. It's become part of our culture because that's how many people have been taught to do their make up.
I'm so happy to see these comments. I watched this video and felt really frustrated with the comments about lip liner and then the nails. Especially the lips being a "Hailey Bieber thing"...
I never thought Dark lip liner with lighter lips looked attractive. I think with the lip plumping and Botox everyone starts looking the same. It is amazing that as a society we still have ‘body trends’. My mom used to complain that her body wasn’t ‘in fashion’ in the seventies - she had big hips and breasts but Twiggy was the top model at the time.
Is it just me, but i thought the example used of lip injection, the first picture looked fine and the second one already looked horrible. I knew a girl in mid 90's that did the dark lip liner/lighter lips and it looked odd, and now its going to become a trend-yikes. Each to their own, but everything in moderation is something we could use a little more of in our lives.
The buccal fat removal trend is sooo hilarious to me bc as you said, people pay to look older and get a more "defined" look but when they age... they get filler to get a more "full" look and emulate their previously removed buccal fat. It's as if that the grass is always greener on the other side! It also does not help that beauty trends change so quickly, while a procedure such as buccal fat removal is permanent for life.
I would love to see overall health and mental health increase in 2023. Like wanting to eat better and workout for your health and not to just fit in a beauty standard box
I wanted buccal fat removal in my early 20’s bc I hated my full cheeks. Now that I’m almost 40, I’m so glad I never did it. You are correct, that fat disappears as we age and I am thankful for the decision now.
Far as anti-aging, it would be nice if brands could make advancements with UVA protection, even if it's allowing us to use some of the chemical filters that other countries have access to.
Trends are crazy! I once got made fun of for wearing flared pants in HS & now they’re super popular. People should stop worrying so much about what is popular and let people like what they like! Also #teamcateye for life!
100% agree on a lot of this, especially on the body trends! It's just super unrealistic and unhealthy. I'm naturally thin with wide hips but no boobs whatsoever and never felt like something is wrong with me until a few years ago when being super curvy with a big butt and big boobs was portrayed as the only way of not only being sexy but also having a healthy body image. These ever-changing beauty standards for a human's body are just really unhealthy for our minds, so thank you for mentioning it 🙏
Unfortunately, showing overweight models, singers, etc have become so common due to fat shaming! In order to send a “message” to these type of people to have them feel better about themselves, the clothing industry decoded to use heavy people as models. This is not a healthy message for overweight people. They feel great about being overweight, and then ignore their health. Not a good message to advertise!
@@ejbooks totally agree you can be way underweight and be unhealthy just the same as being way overweight is unhealthy too. Women started becoming sickly thin all because of what type of models were portrayed as sexy and now the same thing is going to happen just on the opposite end of the spectrum. Neither is good.
The industry really went ham on either extremes, the reason for bringing in bigger body types was because the thin look was unhealthy and "unrealistic", but unhealthy was the word of the day, so another unhealthy look was brought in, but also called "real". Can't humans just be in the middle somewhere, we can't do in anything moderation lool
I'm so glad you mentioned body trends. I remember seeing a headline recently saying that 'Heroin Chic' has been making a comeback and I wanted to scream.
As a normal-oily skin girl, I find a thin layer of matte foundation and magnifying powder to be sooo much more natural and flattering on me than dewy foundations which end up looking cakes. Cream products are never really that flattering on me and lots just end up emphasizing pores and texture that I'd rather blur. Big YES to more matte product releases this year!
Totally agree with you about not shamming people for wearing more makeup. Makeup should be fun. Natural no makeup makeup is fine but we should be more tolerant.
As for me, the fake lashes trend should die. I've never seen a single person on whom this looked good. 🥴 The same is true for fake nails. It already looks very unsanitary and it's weird but long nails really gross me out. It's a real pet peeve of mine.
Tbh I think when it comes to lashes the main problem is people not wearing a style that compliments their eye shape, I have friends irl and have seen some people online who’ve found lash styles that suite their eyes and it looks really nice, esp when doing more intense looks that can hide your natural lashes! As for long nails I’m a little biased bc I keep mine relatively long and done almost all the time lmao
I think it looks good when you can’t tell they’re fake. That SHOULD be the goal, but meanwhile I see so many girls that look like they can barely keep their eyes open 😂
A couple years back, I was struggling to find makeup with a Dewey finish because the trend was super matte. My dry and now maturing skin needs the moisture so I'm excited for the creme products. I understand the frustration too.
The pale lip with dark lip liner is a very 90s type of trend- which should have stayed in the 90s along with over plucked brows. Cute sherpa jacket btw, love that color.
I agree so much on the body trend crap! I got made fun of in *elementary school* for having a big butt. I was in 5th grade and having “friends” making fun of my hips/butt. I was pretty small everywhere besides my butt/hips. It’s just crazy that people are paying thousands of dollars to get what I got traumatized for having growing up. My friend said the same thing about her naturally having big lips. She got bullied for having big lips and now everyone is walking around with fake lips. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I was told that I should be happy or thankful that my “past traumas are the now trend” 🫠 I couldn’t believe it.
I rememeber when I was in high school, a black girl told me that I had big lips "for a white girl". 😂 They weren't super big, but a good size. Now at 51....until next Saturday ( sigh....but like my daughter tells me, "You either get older, or ya die") they have gotten thinner. (Sigh again!)
Awesome video Abbey!! Thank you. For me….I wish so much that people would not be racing to the stores to pick up what just “blew up” on Tik Tok” Makes me sad.
I turned 46 last month Thanks to RUclips I bought so much that I was never into but thought I could be About 7 years ago I started decluttering and gave away or used up things . I buy nice items but just enough . I am super picky now . I honestly think the market is super saturated and confusing I now just do what looks best for me and my skin and hair type ….not following trends
@@Lashlove16 it definitely is saturated. A few of my favorites are Skin better science Alpharet, Alto advanced serum, and their peel pads. Alastin Restorative skin complex and IS Clinical active serum are both great! PCA nutrient toner Prescription strength Retin A Retin A and Vit C are my staples. Alpharet and Alto would be a good starting point. And obviously a good sunscreen.
don't care about the trend because i am never a trendsetter, if i like it, il buy it. what is irritating and turns me off are trends/influencers/channels that showcase luxury items mostly but then will say "y'all know i hate that it is expensive but there is something about it...blah blah'. just trying too hard to be humble but can't help but to show off kind of thing.
Yes totally agree would love to see more quality drugstore leave in conditioners. I'm currently using Pureology spray and it's not cheap here in Australia
Yes I agree I get a lot of cheap leaving conditioners from Sally I don’t know if they really sell that many of the drug store I seen like maybe like a few
@@theeellebee drugstore is getting expensive like it used to be cheap and now some of the things in there I feel like could’ve compared to like Sephora prices are like high-end
@@rba4377 Most the time when I buy things from Sally I order from their website I don’t know if they ship it to Australia you’d also have to like look to see if they have one even they were near you if you could go in the store and buy if not you could see if they ship it to Australia I don’t know I’ve always lived in America
I would love to see elegant multi active formulated products that maximize the skin benefits with minimal steps. I would also like to see more elegant skin formulations that wear well under makeup as well
Yes on the brown eyeliner! I have been using Clinique's Chocolate Lustre eyeliner for years and I love it. It gives a softer look to my eye makeup. It can be hard to find sometimes, though. I always get mine from Nordstrom.
I would love to see more brands offer product refills. In my opinion it’s a win win. I’m not spending money on excess packaging I don’t need and it’s better for the environment. I totally don’t understand removing fat from your face. When I was younger I had a full (fat), round face. Now that I’m middle aged I’ve lost so much fullness from my face and it’s aging! I can’t imagine what I would look like now had I removed fat from my face when I was younger😳 PSA: young people considering fat removal from your face, don’t do it! Your future (older) self will thank you.
I've decided to stop dying my hair this year. I'm nearing 30 and I was totally not prepared for how much salt is in my pepper. It's all genetic, others in my family grey'd early too, but hot dog it makes it hard to not dye my hair when I look in the mirror and see a crop of bright silver staring back at me from among my nearly black hair.
I love your opinions and how you explain yourself. You never try to offend anyone or come off rude. I agree with you for the most part too! Most trends are super hard to achieve when you were given the body, skin type, hair type you were born with! I just try to do what works for me!
So interesting! I'm all for more powder products launches, brown eyeliner/mascara options and being more open and accepting of different looks. Variety is the spice of life!
I want to see more: 1. Lip and cheek stains like Benetint 2. Mini travel sizes (powder foundation, skincare). 3. Want to see less false eye lashes when wearing casual wear like joggers and a sweatshirt.
Yes, please! More light to medium brown eyeliners and mascaras! I especially hate to see older women (me!) in black liner around the entire eye. It's just so damn hard looking and ages the wearer. Dark lipliner very 80s.
I am so sad to see so many ladies wearing extreme long fake eye lashes. Using fake lashes to enhance what we may not have looks great. But no one ever looks good in extremely big and long eyelashes. It's so fake looking and not flattering on anyone. That "natural makeup" trend look certainly conflicts with the extra long eye lashes and coffin jeweled nails.
The other day I heard the term “millennial side part” and felt personally attacked. 😂 I have a cowlick- I can’t do a center part! 😂 also the straight up laminated brow trend does need to die. I’m ok with the full brow.. but when they stick up straight.. no mam.
Felt that tbh, I love my curtain bangs but my cowlick makes it a pain to style them the way I want. Many tears have been shed over it while getting ready for school lmao 💀💀
I’m so for this. I’m overrrrr seeing people walking around like byproducts of trending tik tok fashion and trends. Whenever I see these people I just think Good Lord.. get off the internet! We need to bring back individuality in a major way!
i’d like to see more people embracing natural features. i think the past several years there has been an emphasis on very specific features (pouty lips, button nose, up turned eyes). now it seems like everyone looks the same. i’d like to see individuality and embracing organic, non conventional features in 2023! i totally see why people love these features and i have nothing against plastic surgery or people who get it but i personally appreciate peoples differences more than conventionality.
I 10,000% agree about body type trends! It's so messed up to make body types trendy. It's not something that we can take on and off like makeup or clothing or a hairstyle. Our body shapes are influenced by so many things, one of the main things being genetics. I also am a slim woman with wider hips compared to the rest of me. There's nothing I can do to change my bones, and I shouldn't have to for the sake of what other people want to look at or to fit in better. I keep myself active, take care of my skin, and eat reasonably, and that's all I'm doing in terms of what my body looks like lol. I personally am opting out of any procedures because I know the tides will change and I'll probably regret any surgery or injection I'd get.
“Shorts” on RUclips particularly. Why can we not pay attention beyond 90 seconds? I particularly feel that when a company has sent a creator a seasonal release costing thousands of dollars, I would like to see and learn more than 30 seconds of it. Am I the only one? Miss you Abbey-praying for you!!❤
you're definitely not the only one! I never watch 'shorts', no matter who the creator is. It's a trend borrowed from TikTok and I hate everything about it.
I can never get over 2015-2018 glam. I will do it forever. I rarely do my makeup as a stay at home mom with 2 toddlers, and when I actually do my makeup it’s very therapeutic and special to me. I love my full face and big lashes. I hate that gen z bashes me and others for doing it. Millennials get made fun of for side parts, skinny jeans, and every other thing we do. Which is ok, whatever. But when they come for something like full glam that is something very special and near and dear to my heart, it’s so discouraging. Gen z tries to claim they are the most “accepting” and “loving” generation yet are constantly bashing LITERALLY EVERYONE for not following their trends 💀
Couldn’t agree more on the body shape trend. It’s something I can ignore for myself as a 42 year old BUT with daughters ages 16 and 11 - WOW! First you’re too skinny, then you aren’t skinny enough, then your butt isn’t big enough and the 16 year old FOR SURE pays attention to all these things. She’s built very much like you - long and lean but has hips and she had a love/hate relationship with them that social media and celebrities only make worse. Parenting in this digital age is so tricky to navigate!
I’ve been doing lip filler for like 7 years now and no idea how it’s addicting… it’s wildly uncomfortable to go through. I only go every couple of years and it’s funny, because all of my friends that also get filler always comment on mine. I let them settle a LOT between appointments so I’ve retained natural shape with a LITTLE extra juice. Most people don’t even know. And something you don’t always hear about, is how the product can migrate. I had that issue and got dissolved and I have been a lot more modest ever since and it looks so much better. I think people just always equate MORE with BETTER and we know that’s not always true!
I remember in the 90s people wore a ring of dark lip liner and lipgloss on their lips. When the gloss wore off they were left with the ring of liner. It was not a good look. Yes people will regret getting fat removed from their face. Believe me they will want that volume back in their later years.
I'd also like to see more actual science and less pdeudo-science around skincare and makeup. Clean, medical grade, natural, etc are terms that don't mean anything, or at least they don't mean the things people think they do. And someone else said this but the curly hair community needs to chill. I have curly hair and know what to do and that usually involves silicones.
Amika Bust Your Brass shampoo and conditioner are my new best friend… my hair is naturally silver, and every other purple shampoo dries it out. Amika hit the jackpot on this. It conditions so well. Love it!
I HATE the white eyeliner inside the water line. I hear every single girl saying it "makes their eyes look bigger." No, it doesn't. Am I the only one who absolutely hates this trend?
I love my winged liner, I dont think ill ever let it go. Ive been doing it since I was 14 and Im 32 now. Trends are silly anyways. But I agree the lip injections have got to calm down.
Fun video! I was doing skin cycling 5 years ago before it had a name. The reason for that is because I have very sensitive skin and just can't use these active's every single day. I would use a retinoid one night use hydrating serums the next night to recover and then the third night copper peptides because even those irritate my skin. I could only do a mild vitamin C twice a week and salicylic acid once a week. I wanted all those ingredients in my routine because of fighting adult acne, melasma, and aging. Anyone who can use all those actives everyday is a very blessed and has no need for skin cycling. I'm grateful I figured out a way to get all those products in each week without damaging my skin or my barrier and I'm thrilled to say that all my skin problems have resolved as a result. I just find it funny that it's so popular now and has a name. Makes me feel less alone in the struggle
The eyebrow raised bush looking trend, GOD I absolutely despise that trend. Ladies, it doesn't look good, it makes one walk around looking horrified. It's not a good look!
There are plenty of drug store leave-in sprays if you just look down the black hair isle. I’m using Palmer’s shine therapy leave-in conditioner and it’s awesome. I have a bit coarser hair than most, so maybe that has something to do with it.
I think Q10 will be the next "IT" anti-aging ingredient. Super underrated. For hydrating ingredient, hopefully urea will have its time in the sun as well!
I would love to see more hair masks that have good ingredients but at a drug store price. While I dont mind spending the money on some it would also be nice to see it expand more into drugstore that can be more assessable but still have amazing ingredients. Something I dont want to see anymore is exactly what you mentioned was the whole bitterness on someone's makeup choices. I agree anyone can wear what they like on their face whether that is no makeup or full faced glammed up. It shouldnt matter and no one wants be judged for it. People are allowed to wear what they like and show it off natural or with makeup on. I am not a big makeup girlie, but I love watching the videos on youtube or seeing other people I know do makeup so well it is beautiful. I have been judged for not going skin deep into makeup and I dont want to be judged for it I just prefer skincare over makeup care. Love your videos Abbey
Millennials have seen the most rapid-fire body trend shifts I swear!! It hurt so bad to grow up in the 2000's extreme-thin days, to then the big booty/small boob days, BACK to the 2000's big boobs/skinny everywhere else vibe (like we see with people freaking out over Sydney Sweeney.) I had a breast reduction largely for mobility reasons right before big boobs came back in, UGH, its all such an eye roll.
U.S Sunscreens are so expensive ! If I compare them to European , Asian and Australian innovation and quality . 2022 was the year of New European Organic Filters like Triasorb and UVMune400 and Prescription skincare like Dermatica are expanding in 🇬🇧 . 🙌👏😊🇬🇧🌈
7:23 Amen to a matte makeup comeback! So sick of the dewy skin trend. I think five or so years from now people will be looking back and saying "Why did our faces look so greasy and gross?"
I hear ya. Some people face it’s hard to look cause it’s sooooo shiny or greasy I can’t figure out what one. I’m like ohhh noooo… it’s way to much. Don’t get me wrong I like a lil shine here and there but not my whole face it’s weird I.
At the same time i hate the nude matte lip trend cause i could only ever see the monkey’s butt hole look. Every nude matte lip product i had I would gloss over it anyway cause they always felt too drying!
@@user-jy7mc2gp2y Dewy makes some people look like greaseballs. I have combo skin with an oily t-zone so a dewy look would look terrible on me. I would look like I haven't washed my face. And ya never know . . . matte just end up making a comeback someday. Maybe sooner than we think . . .
YES!!!!! 1,000% agree w/all of this. Goes to show how we should take these trends w/a grain of salt and be careful not to allow social media to "influence" us too much...Looking forward to hearing how MN is going for you, xxo!
Also!!!! Drugstore heat protectants….and good ones! We needs them! And what Evelyn Javier said in another comment…it’s always given me secondhand embarrassment how someone decides what is a trend, and people just blindly follow it. Like, people have made fun of others for wearing “mom jeans” for YEARS. And now they’re “in”. And to be honest, they look good on NO ONE. They’re the perfect example of how people are sheep. It makes me “cringe”. It’s almost like it’s a social experiment and someone is laughing. Just wear what you like.
The new body trend should be "know the body type you have and work with it, not against it". I would love to be slender and tall, but alas I am hourglass shaped and short, so instead of wearing what is trendy, I wear what suits my body best. I could work out, but my hipbones are not going anywhere and at 30 I'm not growing up.
Not a trend but would love: more honest conversation about tretinoin by specialists. After hearing dr dray saying tretinoin doesn’t thins the skin I was convinced until I saw the actual tretinoin fda approval refers to skin thinning. Good talk about that on the honest channel
YES to the brown eye makeup products. I am red haired and very fair. They look so nice on me, but theres not a lot of options! Also no more "body shape trends". Boo to that nonsense.
Omg yes I’m glad that curly hair is being embraced and more info is out there about it but girl, no I’m not soaking my hair upside in a bowl of water every 3 days 😂
On the drugstore leave in conditioner front, I just picked up a sample size of the Carol's Daughter leave in, and have been loving it. I haven't found anything as perfect as my holy grail, now discontinued L'Oreal Kids Sweet Pear Detangler, though, so, of anyone has recommendations, I'm all ears!!!
I feel like you do about your hips, about my lips 😢 I used to be made fun of through elementary and Jr. High and even at time is HS too because my lips are large. I would be called “duck lips” or DSL (gross and so messed up to hear as a 12 year old) and then when big lips became a trend, and I happened to share my experience of being bullied about mine, I was then told “But your lips aren’t that big” wtf. I guess to big when they are not tending and too small when they are smh
Sally Beauty carried an amazing one called Miracle 7 that I used for years. They discontinued it and I'm so upset! I use a knockoff of It's a 10 from Walmart but it is so perfume-y. It works well but I miss the a Miracle 7 so much!
I forgot to set up my mic since I was in my new setup! Sorry about the audio - I remembered for the next vid 😊
No worries! I enjoyed this video like I enjoy all your videos!
I wondered what happened or if I was losing my hearing 😅
I would like to see more individuality and people embracing what works for them instead of copying what’s trending. Everyone on my socials looks the same and you can tell a lot of these styles and trends aren’t authentic to them.
Amen!!!!
agreed omg
It’s amazing and incredibly sad how 2 people like let’s say Kim and Kylie can have such a huge influence on such a large majority. 😓
I cannot wait for the day (I’ll probably be long gone unfortunately) when we don’t live like we’ve been living. I’m talking about our society as a whole.
Where a small group of people will not have the power to influence/control people like it has been for far too long.
Where people don’t care about all that unnecessary crap. 😩 It is so unhealthy and toxic! For the greater good and happiness and wellbeing of humanity I hope it comes soon! 🫶🏼🙏🏼
@@chelseazaydaraensehon1198 I don't see that being natural and not conforming to beauty norms and standards is going to change. Not on these platforms.
Same!
the dark lip liner with clear or beige lip gloss is huge in the latinx and BIPOC community, and it looks gorgeous - Alexa Demie (euphoria) has been doing it as an homage to Selena and it has deep cultural significance. I am over hailey bieber and kylie jenner treating these communities traditions as trends - but it literally is so stunning on medium - deep skin tones.
I really hope she acknowledges these comments!!
I’ve always been insecure about my round and more full face, but now that I’m seeing all of this buckle fat removal, I think I appreciate my face more! If anything it looks more youthful and will age more gracefully. I agree that those who are getting this buckle fat removal as a fad are going to regret it later in life.
Buccal
Appreciate that facial fat! I hated mine and the round face it gave me until I got older. I can’t imagine how gaunt these girls faces will be once the hit their 40’s. They will definitely need fat transfers.
@@Madamchief thanks lol
Same! This guy called me moonface and I about lost my marbles! He said he wasn’t saying it in a bad way but I was like how in the hell did you think that was a compliment or in a positive way? 🙃 But I always get told that I don’t look my age (32) that I look like I’m in my early twenties 🙌🏼🌝 So maybe having a “moon face” will help us in the long haul! 🏆 🤭
I just detest being the one to say it, but it's pronounced B-You-kal fat like byoukal. Sorry🥴
I really want to see the term "anti-aging" go away! I want to see more normalization around aging, especially towards women. The hostility that women in particular experience if they start to "look their age" (do we even know what a 30, 40, 50 y/o etc. is supposed to look like?) is insane. I would much prefer to see discussions surrounding natural, healthy, graceful aging. To be blunt, I'm happy to be aging because otherwise I'd be dead. Don't get me wrong, I have a pretty specific skincare routine and I do use a retinoid, vitamin c, peptides, etc, but it's because I really want my skin to be healthy and happy, and I want to be confident in my skin and age gracefully.
Wow your attitude on this topic is so refreshing. Anti-aging really is a silly term. I enjoy skincare but my objective is to look good for the age I am. Seems like a small change in perspective but it has granted me an unexpected and enormous amount of happiness and I think it will serve you well too.
I know right! it's honestly how sad gen z (my generation) is scared of aging. I remember freaking out at seeing lines on my face, too. I think we've all grown up with all these anti aging commercials and being surrounded by the idea that women's only value is their youthful looks, which is absolutely strange and awful.
I’m tired of the stupid name makeup, clean girl makeup, cold girl makeup, hot girl makeup and on and on 😂 sorry it just drives me crazy
Yess!!
what no I actually really like it it makes makeup more fun and exciting. I‘d just hope it wouldn’t be copied by everyone and except there’d be more different ideas
Light feminine and dark feminine makeup EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK. You just put darker shades and increased use of eyeliner.
Same. When you tubers post shorts of “trying this ____ makeup trend!” and then it’s just them putting on the same makeup they always wear with like a different lip gloss and blush……..
As a nurse, I’d like to add to the body trend convo: Celebrities are utilizing obesity/diabetic weekly injections that are in short supply for people who truly need them for their health and not vanity reasons.
On top of the fact that some insurance companies aren’t covering these drugs for people who need them and can’t afford to spend $1200/month to get them.
Yep, as a diabetic it’s NOT cool to be taking an important medication from the reach of those who need them.
Like insulin? What would they use it for?
@@vanessahobbes3072 No, it is the newer class of drugs (Ozempic/Wegovy and Mounjaro are a few off the top of my head)
Wow, that’s really upsetting to me. My grandmother has diabetes and has had to go into the hospital a few times in the last few years because her insurance would just stop covering insulin at random, and she couldn’t afford it out of pocket. She could have died.
The Latina in me will never let go of the dark lip liner clear lip gloss combo. That's not even a recent trend. That's been a thing since the 90s chola makeup era. Ever since I started doing my makeup I've always had heavy lip liner, but it does not suit everyone.
exactly ❤❤❤❤
same its the only thing that looks good on me. brown lipstick for life!
I was thinking this - this is a cultural thing. Same thing with the nails, those are cultural to the black community. I love Abbey and wish she was a bit more educated on the history of these trends and where they originally came from. The lips and nails aren't new!!
I have curly hair and I see a lot of people telling us to not use silicones when without it detangling my hair would be pretty much impossible like NO. I’d love to see less hate towards silicones in haircare!
SAME! The Curly Girl Method seems really messed up to me. Demonizing silicones deprives a lot of curly girls of a cheap + easy way to moisturize and detangle their hair. I SWEAR by silicones for moisture and detangling. The CGM will never take them away from me.
I think you do what works for you. I love my Herbal Essences. It is ph balanced and works for my hair, but my hair is on the wavy side.
I love silicone in my hair! I can finally style it myself 😅
i realized before shaving my head that i had wavy hair. i tried the no silicones vibe and my waves were so great, but at the cost of extreme breakage from lack of protection 😢
Honestly! My hair has never been so thin and frizzy and unmanageable than me switching over to sulfate/silicone free, so lately I’ve been going back to regular shampoos (mostly ones used in salons) to see how that works now.
Imagine when we wont have to live in a world full of Kim & Kylie clones!
What a concept that will be 😳
what a misogynist would write
I would like to see more influencers accepting getting older instead of being in constant pursuit of everything anti-aging. Gen Z seems to be afraid of aging and that is concerning.
Yes!! I had one earlier this month argue with me about sunscreen when I told her I use to prevent skin cancer. Apparently, you're not allowed to have an opinion about SPF if you are over 40
Yes! 100% agreed.
As a older gen z…yeah ): it’s something I’m trying to work on but unconsciously, I’m trying not to move my face very much and I use several anti aging products. Even though I’m 22, I feel like I look 29. I’m very aware of any new lines on my skin. I don’t know what it is, but sometimes I feel like I can’t help but hyper-fixate
@@emmyjulianne6850 Then stop looking in the mirror. Honestly, nobody cares about your imaginary wrinkles-you are the only one to see them.
@@soude85 thanks for the “advice,” but they’re actually not imaginary. They exist and that’s why I’m so fixated on them. I have really deep forehead wrinkles for my age bc I constantly have my eyebrows raised-when I’m sitting at my desk, driving, on my phone, they’re always raised. thanks tho 🙄
Omg yes I’d love to see natural healthy nails as a trend! I feel a personal snootiness when other women notice I don’t get my nails done. I crochet, play guitar and ukulele, and have a collection of over 50 houseplants. Those things are way more important to me than having fresh nails every other week.
Yes! I had this revelation recently! Just took off my nails and not getting them redone because I realized I’d rather be rock climbing, playing guitar and piano…etc. although it is a mood boost having my nails done, I’d rather do these more life giving activities!
@@candacehope1044 absolutely :) It’s definitely good for a quick pick-me-up but I realized that it made all of my favorite activities more difficult in the long run! That or I wasn’t operating at full capacity out of fear of messing up my nails 😅
I agree. I actually think natural/healthy nails are trending now, with the classy girl / old money aesthetic. The classy look is more about natural, well-groomed nails, and not long nails. It's similar to how the royal family does them.
Oh yesssss the nails!!!! Pliiiiiiiz back to natural nails!!!
I mean what the fock with these pointy nails with all these trends
It looks too muchhhhh
@@susannaholdren9625 yes long nails look trashy
I am HERE for the brown mascara. As a redhead and very very fair, black mascara is SO harsh on my skin tone. My absolute beloved brown mascara (Covergirl Flourish) was discontinued and now its feeling so impossible to find another good brown mascara.
Check out Just for Redheads! They make a great mascara in multiple brown shades and its available on Amazon. It has been my go-to for years
I’m also fair and have reddish blonde hair, and I have been using Maybelline ‘Falsies’ mascara since my teens! I used to always use a harsh black (it worked as I dyed my hair all different kinds of colors for a long time), but now I’m using their brownish-black and I love it! :)
The Latino community and POC in general have been doing the dark liner and clear gloss for decades. It had a history from when people couldn't find lip liners in their shade so they used eyeliner because that's what they had access to.
It's become part of our culture because that's how many people have been taught to do their make up.
I'm so happy to see these comments. I watched this video and felt really frustrated with the comments about lip liner and then the nails. Especially the lips being a "Hailey Bieber thing"...
Fragrance is definitely making a come back! Back in the 80s you had your fragrance and wore it daily. I am so into this again.
It’s so fun!
I need to find my fragrance 😢
the ‘dark lip liner and gloss trend’ that ‘hailey bieber did’ was actually a makeup trend started by and meant for WOC with darker complexions.
Thank you!
@@sandrabeltre25 as someone who’s part filipino, i thought this was common knowledge😭

@@royalprincess2678 lmaoo why cant yt ppl be normal whenever poc are given credit where it’s actually due?💀
Actually it’s “meant” for anyone that wants to wear it, to wear it.
100% never understood laminated bushy eyebrows or coffin shaped, overly bejewelled nails. Bless ya and have a wonderful weekend
I’m always so behind with beauty trends! Just when I get used to the “glowy makeup look” people are like “bring the matte back” 😂
I never thought Dark lip liner with lighter lips looked attractive. I think with the lip plumping and Botox everyone starts looking the same. It is amazing that as a society we still have ‘body trends’. My mom used to complain that her body wasn’t ‘in fashion’ in the seventies - she had big hips and breasts but Twiggy was the top model at the time.
Is it just me, but i thought the example used of lip injection, the first picture looked fine and the second one already looked horrible. I knew a girl in mid 90's that did the dark lip liner/lighter lips and it looked odd, and now its going to become a trend-yikes. Each to their own, but everything in moderation is something we could use a little more of in our lives.
YES to just letting people wear as much or as little makeup as they want!! It’s no one else’s business 🙌🏼
The buccal fat removal trend is sooo hilarious to me bc as you said, people pay to look older and get a more "defined" look but when they age... they get filler to get a more "full" look and emulate their previously removed buccal fat. It's as if that the grass is always greener on the other side! It also does not help that beauty trends change so quickly, while a procedure such as buccal fat removal is permanent for life.
It’s designed this way to maximize profits. You will never be good enough so buy these products.
I would love to see overall health and mental health increase in 2023. Like wanting to eat better and workout for your health and not to just fit in a beauty standard box
I wanted buccal fat removal in my early 20’s bc I hated my full cheeks. Now that I’m almost 40, I’m so glad I never did it. You are correct, that fat disappears as we age and I am thankful for the decision now.
Thank goodness!
Far as anti-aging, it would be nice if brands could make advancements with UVA protection, even if it's allowing us to use some of the chemical filters that other countries have access to.
Sadly that's not up to the brands
Trends are crazy! I once got made fun of for wearing flared pants in HS & now they’re super popular. People should stop worrying so much about what is popular and let people like what they like! Also #teamcateye for life!
100% agree on a lot of this, especially on the body trends! It's just super unrealistic and unhealthy. I'm naturally thin with wide hips but no boobs whatsoever and never felt like something is wrong with me until a few years ago when being super curvy with a big butt and big boobs was portrayed as the only way of not only being sexy but also having a healthy body image. These ever-changing beauty standards for a human's body are just really unhealthy for our minds, so thank you for mentioning it 🙏
We are body type twins 😂
Unfortunately, showing overweight models, singers, etc have become so common due to fat shaming! In order to send a “message” to these type of people to have them feel better about themselves, the clothing industry decoded to use heavy people as models. This is not a healthy message for overweight people. They feel great about being overweight, and then ignore their health. Not a good message to advertise!
@@ejbooks totally agree you can be way underweight and be unhealthy just the same as being way overweight is unhealthy too. Women started becoming sickly thin all because of what type of models were portrayed as sexy and now the same thing is going to happen just on the opposite end of the spectrum. Neither is good.
@@streetfamily6909 100% correct. Both need medical and psychological assistance!
The industry really went ham on either extremes, the reason for bringing in bigger body types was because the thin look was unhealthy and "unrealistic", but unhealthy was the word of the day, so another unhealthy look was brought in, but also called "real".
Can't humans just be in the middle somewhere, we can't do in anything moderation lool
I'm so glad you mentioned body trends. I remember seeing a headline recently saying that 'Heroin Chic' has been making a comeback and I wanted to scream.
As a normal-oily skin girl, I find a thin layer of matte foundation and magnifying powder to be sooo much more natural and flattering on me than dewy foundations which end up looking cakes. Cream products are never really that flattering on me and lots just end up emphasizing pores and texture that I'd rather blur. Big YES to more matte product releases this year!
Totally agree with you about not shamming people for wearing more makeup. Makeup should be fun. Natural no makeup makeup is fine but we should be more tolerant.
As for me, the fake lashes trend should die. I've never seen a single person on whom this looked good. 🥴
The same is true for fake nails. It already looks very unsanitary and it's weird but long nails really gross me out. It's a real pet peeve of mine.
Same with lash extensions!!
Tbh I think when it comes to lashes the main problem is people not wearing a style that compliments their eye shape, I have friends irl and have seen some people online who’ve found lash styles that suite their eyes and it looks really nice, esp when doing more intense looks that can hide your natural lashes! As for long nails I’m a little biased bc I keep mine relatively long and done almost all the time lmao
@@Opalescenttreeshark exactly!! Stop with lash extensionssssssssss
Girls with them look dumb
I think it looks good when you can’t tell they’re fake. That SHOULD be the goal, but meanwhile I see so many girls that look like they can barely keep their eyes open 😂
Me too! When I see these loooong nails I always think how dirty they must be under...eww
A couple years back, I was struggling to find makeup with a Dewey finish because the trend was super matte. My dry and now maturing skin needs the moisture so I'm excited for the creme products. I understand the frustration too.
The pale lip with dark lip liner is a very 90s type of trend- which should have stayed in the 90s along with over plucked brows. Cute sherpa jacket btw, love that color.
It's been around forever, for latina/black people, south asians etc so it isnt gonna go anywhere
@@tcrijwanachoudhury facts. As long as they blend well! It’ll be around!
Bring back natural hair part! What happened to Gen Z that they think everyone needs a center part??
I agree so much on the body trend crap!
I got made fun of in *elementary school* for having a big butt.
I was in 5th grade and having “friends” making fun of my hips/butt. I was pretty small everywhere besides my butt/hips.
It’s just crazy that people are paying thousands of dollars to get what I got traumatized for having growing up.
My friend said the same thing about her naturally having big lips.
She got bullied for having big lips and now everyone is walking around with fake lips. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I was told that I should be happy or thankful that my “past traumas are the now trend” 🫠 I couldn’t believe it.
I rememeber when I was in high school, a black girl told me that I had big lips "for a white girl". 😂 They weren't super big, but a good size. Now at 51....until next Saturday ( sigh....but like my daughter tells me, "You either get older, or ya die") they have gotten thinner. (Sigh again!)
Awesome video Abbey!! Thank you. For me….I wish so much that people would not be racing to the stores to pick up what just “blew up” on Tik Tok” Makes me sad.
At the age of 45 I pretty much only buy medical grade skincare. The prices of products in sephora are just absurd anymore and most of it’s trash.
I’m 51. Same. Give me my Altreno & medical grade skincare!
Do you have any recommendations
I turned 46 last month
Thanks to RUclips I bought so much that I was never into but thought I could be

@@bnb0510 thanks soo much
What sunscreen do you use
don't care about the trend because i am never a trendsetter, if i like it, il buy it. what is irritating and turns me off are trends/influencers/channels that showcase luxury items mostly but then will say "y'all know i hate that it is expensive but there is something about it...blah blah'. just trying too hard to be humble but can't help but to show off kind of thing.
Yes totally agree would love to see more quality drugstore leave in conditioners. I'm currently using Pureology spray and it's not cheap here in Australia
Yes I agree I get a lot of cheap leaving conditioners from Sally I don’t know if they really sell that many of the drug store I seen like maybe like a few
I 2nd this! Love my Redken, but not the price tag
@@theeellebee drugstore is getting expensive like it used to be cheap and now some of the things in there I feel like could’ve compared to like Sephora prices are like high-end
Where do you buy it here in Australia?
@@rba4377 Most the time when I buy things from Sally I order from their website I don’t know if they ship it to Australia you’d also have to like look to see if they have one even they were near you if you could go in the store and buy if not you could see if they ship it to Australia I don’t know I’ve always lived in America
I clapped when you said "how do you go to the bathroom" with those crazy nails, I've had the same question for ages!
I would love to see elegant multi active formulated products that maximize the skin benefits with minimal steps. I would also like to see more elegant skin formulations that wear well under makeup as well
Yes on the brown eyeliner! I have been using Clinique's Chocolate Lustre eyeliner for years and I love it. It gives a softer look to my eye makeup. It can be hard to find sometimes, though. I always get mine from Nordstrom.
I would love to see more brands offer product refills. In my opinion it’s a win win. I’m not spending money on excess packaging I don’t need and it’s better for the environment.
I totally don’t understand removing fat from your face. When I was younger I had a full (fat), round face. Now that I’m middle aged I’ve lost so much fullness from my face and it’s aging! I can’t imagine what I would look like now had I removed fat from my face when I was younger😳 PSA: young people considering fat removal from your face, don’t do it! Your future (older) self will thank you.
Yes! LOVE products with refill options. Convenient and so much less waste!
I've decided to stop dying my hair this year. I'm nearing 30 and I was totally not prepared for how much salt is in my pepper. It's all genetic, others in my family grey'd early too, but hot dog it makes it hard to not dye my hair when I look in the mirror and see a crop of bright silver staring back at me from among my nearly black hair.
As an oily skin gal I love the popularity of the dewy look bc I just wear my
Normal makeup and when the oil seeps through, I’m trendy! 🤣💗
I love your opinions and how you explain yourself. You never try to offend anyone or come off rude. I agree with you for the most part too! Most trends are super hard to achieve when you were given the body, skin type, hair type you were born with! I just try to do what works for me!
Thanks so much 😊
So interesting! I'm all for more powder products launches, brown eyeliner/mascara options and being more open and accepting of different looks. Variety is the spice of life!
I want to see more:
1. Lip and cheek stains like Benetint
2. Mini travel sizes (powder foundation, skincare).
3. Want to see less false eye lashes when wearing casual wear like joggers and a sweatshirt.
Yes, please! More light to medium brown eyeliners and mascaras! I especially hate to see older women (me!) in black liner around the entire eye. It's just so damn hard looking and ages the wearer. Dark lipliner very 80s.
I am so sad to see so many ladies wearing extreme long fake eye lashes. Using fake lashes to enhance what we may not have looks great. But no one ever looks good in extremely big and long eyelashes. It's so fake looking and not flattering on anyone. That "natural makeup" trend look certainly conflicts with the extra long eye lashes and coffin jeweled nails.
Omg you're so cute and humble, but at the same time so precise and thorough while speaking, love your eloquence 🤩🤩🤩
The other day I heard the term “millennial side part” and felt personally attacked. 😂 I have a cowlick- I can’t do a center part! 😂 also the straight up laminated brow trend does need to die. I’m ok with the full brow.. but when they stick up straight.. no mam.
I have a cowlick too 😭😂
I’m just jealous of people who can make their hair part different ways. Mine just does what it wants. 😊
Felt that tbh, I love my curtain bangs but my cowlick makes it a pain to style them the way I want. Many tears have been shed over it while getting ready for school lmao 💀💀
I’m so for this. I’m overrrrr seeing people walking around like byproducts of trending tik tok fashion and trends. Whenever I see these people I just think Good Lord.. get off the internet! We need to bring back individuality in a major way!
Thank you so so soooo much for your content!! Would love to see a video comparing the Redken lines (all soft, acidic bonding, extreme, etc) 💛💛🌼
i’d like to see more people embracing natural features. i think the past several years there has been an emphasis on very specific features (pouty lips, button nose, up turned eyes). now it seems like everyone looks the same. i’d like to see individuality and embracing organic, non conventional features in 2023! i totally see why people love these features and i have nothing against plastic surgery or people who get it but i personally appreciate peoples differences more than conventionality.
I 10,000% agree about body type trends! It's so messed up to make body types trendy. It's not something that we can take on and off like makeup or clothing or a hairstyle. Our body shapes are influenced by so many things, one of the main things being genetics. I also am a slim woman with wider hips compared to the rest of me. There's nothing I can do to change my bones, and I shouldn't have to for the sake of what other people want to look at or to fit in better. I keep myself active, take care of my skin, and eat reasonably, and that's all I'm doing in terms of what my body looks like lol. I personally am opting out of any procedures because I know the tides will change and I'll probably regret any surgery or injection I'd get.
“Shorts” on RUclips particularly. Why can we not pay attention beyond 90 seconds? I particularly feel that when a company has sent a creator a seasonal release costing thousands of dollars, I would like to see and learn more than 30 seconds of it. Am I the only one?
Miss you Abbey-praying for you!!❤
you're definitely not the only one! I never watch 'shorts', no matter who the creator is. It's a trend borrowed from TikTok and I hate everything about it.
I can't stand "shorts". I never watch them. If people want that they can go to TikTok (which I also can't stand).
I can never get over 2015-2018 glam. I will do it forever. I rarely do my makeup as a stay at home mom with 2 toddlers, and when I actually do my makeup it’s very therapeutic and special to me. I love my full face and big lashes. I hate that gen z bashes me and others for doing it. Millennials get made fun of for side parts, skinny jeans, and every other thing we do. Which is ok, whatever. But when they come for something like full glam that is something very special and near and dear to my heart, it’s so discouraging. Gen z tries to claim they are the most “accepting” and “loving” generation yet are constantly bashing LITERALLY EVERYONE for not following their trends 💀
Couldn’t agree more on the body shape trend. It’s something I can ignore for myself as a 42 year old BUT with daughters ages 16 and 11 - WOW! First you’re too skinny, then you aren’t skinny enough, then your butt isn’t big enough and the 16 year old FOR SURE pays attention to all these things. She’s built very much like you - long and lean but has hips and she had a love/hate relationship with them that social media and celebrities only make worse. Parenting in this digital age is so tricky to navigate!
I’ve been doing lip filler for like 7 years now and no idea how it’s addicting… it’s wildly uncomfortable to go through. I only go every couple of years and it’s funny, because all of my friends that also get filler always comment on mine. I let them settle a LOT between appointments so I’ve retained natural shape with a LITTLE extra juice. Most people don’t even know. And something you don’t always hear about, is how the product can migrate. I had that issue and got dissolved and I have been a lot more modest ever since and it looks so much better. I think people just always equate MORE with BETTER and we know that’s not always true!
I’d love a little extra juice to my lips 😂
Dirty hair...wish that trend would go away!!
So agree. Gosh, social media shames and judges for washing your hair "too often" by "their" terms. Dirty hair is not attractive on ANY ONE.
I remember in the 90s people wore a ring of dark lip liner and lipgloss on their lips. When the gloss wore off they were left with the ring of liner. It was not a good look. Yes people will regret getting fat removed from their face. Believe me they will want that volume back in their later years.
I'd like to see trends go out of trend!
Actually first lip oils were suggested by Clarins, years ago.
I'd also like to see more actual science and less pdeudo-science around skincare and makeup. Clean, medical grade, natural, etc are terms that don't mean anything, or at least they don't mean the things people think they do. And someone else said this but the curly hair community needs to chill. I have curly hair and know what to do and that usually involves silicones.
Amika Bust Your Brass shampoo and conditioner are my new best friend… my hair is naturally silver, and every other purple shampoo dries it out. Amika hit the jackpot on this. It conditions so well. Love it!
Us woc have been doing that dark liner clear lipgloss since the 90s and we will keep on doing it.
I’m hoping for more skincare with a focus on barrier repair/support!
I HATE the white eyeliner inside the water line. I hear every single girl saying it "makes their eyes look bigger." No, it doesn't. Am I the only one who absolutely hates this trend?
I love my winged liner, I dont think ill ever let it go. Ive been doing it since I was 14 and Im 32 now. Trends are silly anyways. But I agree the lip injections have got to calm down.
Fun video! I was doing skin cycling 5 years ago before it had a name. The reason for that is because I have very sensitive skin and just can't use these active's every single day. I would use a retinoid one night use hydrating serums the next night to recover and then the third night copper peptides because even those irritate my skin. I could only do a mild vitamin C twice a week and salicylic acid once a week. I wanted all those ingredients in my routine because of fighting adult acne, melasma, and aging. Anyone who can use all those actives everyday is a very blessed and has no need for skin cycling. I'm grateful I figured out a way to get all those products in each week without damaging my skin or my barrier and I'm thrilled to say that all my skin problems have resolved as a result. I just find it funny that it's so popular now and has a name. Makes me feel less alone in the struggle
The eyebrow raised bush looking trend, GOD I absolutely despise that trend. Ladies, it doesn't look good, it makes one walk around looking horrified. It's not a good look!
There are plenty of drug store leave-in sprays if you just look down the black hair isle. I’m using Palmer’s shine therapy leave-in conditioner and it’s awesome. I have a bit coarser hair than most, so maybe that has something to do with it.
I think Q10 will be the next "IT" anti-aging ingredient. Super underrated. For hydrating ingredient, hopefully urea will have its time in the sun as well!
I would love to see more hair masks that have good ingredients but at a drug store price. While I dont mind spending the money on some it would also be nice to see it expand more into drugstore that can be more assessable but still have amazing ingredients.
Something I dont want to see anymore is exactly what you mentioned was the whole bitterness on someone's makeup choices. I agree anyone can wear what they like on their face whether that is no makeup or full faced glammed up. It shouldnt matter and no one wants be judged for it. People are allowed to wear what they like and show it off natural or with makeup on. I am not a big makeup girlie, but I love watching the videos on youtube or seeing other people I know do makeup so well it is beautiful. I have been judged for not going skin deep into makeup and I dont want to be judged for it I just prefer skincare over makeup care. Love your videos Abbey
Millennials have seen the most rapid-fire body trend shifts I swear!! It hurt so bad to grow up in the 2000's extreme-thin days, to then the big booty/small boob days, BACK to the 2000's big boobs/skinny everywhere else vibe (like we see with people freaking out over Sydney Sweeney.) I had a breast reduction largely for mobility reasons right before big boobs came back in, UGH, its all such an eye roll.
The body trend thing 🙌🏻 All body’s are beautiful ❤
so glad I found your channel! Insightful, funny and generally lovely
Yay! So glad you’re here 💗
I love all the dewy products-of course I have dry skin. I remember a few years ago everything was matte and I hated it. I looked like a dry raisin 😂
You’re spot-on about buccal fat removal. I’m sure everyone in the industry thinks that’s totally genius - that’s 30-50yr job security for them.
U.S Sunscreens are so expensive ! If I compare them to European , Asian and Australian innovation and quality . 2022 was the year of New European Organic Filters like Triasorb and UVMune400 and Prescription skincare like Dermatica are expanding in 🇬🇧 . 🙌👏😊🇬🇧🌈
I get Altuist shipped to me in the US, but what’s another good inexpensive brand to get in the UK ?

7:23 Amen to a matte makeup comeback! So sick of the dewy skin trend. I think five or so years from now people will be looking back and saying "Why did our faces look so greasy and gross?"
I hear ya. Some people face it’s hard to look cause it’s sooooo shiny or greasy I can’t figure out what one. I’m like ohhh noooo… it’s way to much. Don’t get me wrong I like a lil shine here and there but not my whole face it’s weird I.
At the same time i hate the nude matte lip trend cause i could only ever see the monkey’s butt hole look. Every nude matte lip product i had I would gloss over it anyway cause they always felt too drying!
Dewy is healthy and youthful looking. Matte is outdated and makes skin look older.
@@user-jy7mc2gp2y Dewy makes some people look like greaseballs. I have combo skin with an oily t-zone so a dewy look would look terrible on me. I would look like I haven't washed my face. And ya never know . . . matte just end up making a comeback someday. Maybe sooner than we think . . .
I want it to come back just because it was so much easier 😂
YES!!!!! 1,000% agree w/all of this. Goes to show how we should take these trends w/a grain of salt and be careful not to allow social media to "influence" us too much...Looking forward to hearing how MN is going for you, xxo!
Also!!!! Drugstore heat protectants….and good ones! We needs them!
And what Evelyn Javier said in another comment…it’s always given me secondhand embarrassment how someone decides what is a trend, and people just blindly follow it. Like, people have made fun of others for wearing “mom jeans” for YEARS. And now they’re “in”. And to be honest, they look good on NO ONE. They’re the perfect example of how people are sheep. It makes me “cringe”. It’s almost like it’s a social experiment and someone is laughing.
Just wear what you like.
Aussie hair insurance leave in is so good. I use it and it makes my hair so shiny and pretty and it was literally $4! Love this video!
They really came for you on the winged eyeliner. 😂 I'm freaking loving all the puppy content on IG. Such a cutie!
😂😂😂 and yay 💗
Id say the thing id like to see is for people to stop turning POCs makeup culture or body parts into trends.
The new body trend should be "know the body type you have and work with it, not against it". I would love to be slender and tall, but alas I am hourglass shaped and short, so instead of wearing what is trendy, I wear what suits my body best. I could work out, but my hipbones are not going anywhere and at 30 I'm not growing up.
I’m in love with the Elf lip oil omg 😍
Not a trend but would love: more honest conversation about tretinoin by specialists. After hearing dr dray saying tretinoin doesn’t thins the skin I was convinced until I saw the actual tretinoin fda approval refers to skin thinning. Good talk about that on the honest channel
YES to the brown eye makeup products. I am red haired and very fair. They look so nice on me, but theres not a lot of options! Also no more "body shape trends". Boo to that nonsense.
I am so over the curly hair community. It’s so hateful if you do anything that does not dit their standards!!
Omg yes I’m glad that curly hair is being embraced and more info is out there about it but girl, no I’m not soaking my hair upside in a bowl of water every 3 days 😂
@@rba4377 loll nope!
I love how your lipstick shade matches your jacket. This colour is stunning on you. You always look radiant.
Thank you so much!
The lip plus fuzzy sweater matching 😩👌🏼
On the drugstore leave in conditioner front, I just picked up a sample size of the Carol's Daughter leave in, and have been loving it. I haven't found anything as perfect as my holy grail, now discontinued L'Oreal Kids Sweet Pear Detangler, though, so, of anyone has recommendations, I'm all ears!!!
AMEN TO THE DRUGSTORE LEAVE IN SPRAYS!!!! Such a good point 🖤🖤
I feel like you do about your hips, about my lips 😢
I used to be made fun of through elementary and Jr. High and even at time is HS too because my lips are large. I would be called “duck lips” or DSL (gross and so messed up to hear as a 12 year old) and then when big lips became a trend, and I happened to share my experience of being bullied about mine, I was then told “But your lips aren’t that big” wtf. I guess to big when they are not tending and too small when they are smh
Yes!! I'm also over dark lip liner and clear gloss. This video is one of the many reasons that you're my absolute favorite.
Dark liner and clear lipgloss only looks good on woman of color because our lips are already a brown color, opposed to pink
My skin is too dry for matte 😭
Can we compromise on like SATIN? 🥹
Omg yes I was just looking for leave in conditioners the other day and barely found anything under 20 bucks..
Sally Beauty carried an amazing one called Miracle 7 that I used for years. They discontinued it and I'm so upset! I use a knockoff of It's a 10 from Walmart but it is so perfume-y. It works well but I miss the a Miracle 7 so much!
