Not society. Ayudrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Farah Fawcett would be considered beautiful at any time, and no one would think they were out of style or any nonsense like that. And remember, Marylin Monroe was very slender in the waist, and certainly was not what people call curvy today. She is simply wrong.

Some of us have no beauty to celebrate. Nice words are, well, nice. And the person saying them obviously intends to be kind. But the hard truth of life is that some people are just plain ugly and short of reconstructive surgery there is nothing that they can do about it. It's a fact, and sugar coating it with phrases like "your own beauty" or "your own style" does not change a fact. If these influencers really believed the feel good hokum they espouse they wouldn't post thousands of videos on make-up and clothes and other products which are designed to CHANGE how you look, and they wouldn't be trying to teach you how to use these things to alter your appearance. They do so because deep down even they know that there are standards for beauty and if you don't meet them, you're ugly. That's it.

My problem with "natural trends" is most people don't have pimples, dark circles, or do procedures to reduce them. In addition, we have created a skincare trends to take care of the skin, which is incredible! But it returns the same cycle you talked about eye shadows.

My theory is that in 2000 clothes started becoming more and more easy to sew, because of the fast fashion industry and chain stores which wanted to just sell something that looks good but in fact is bad quality, there was no attention to following particular style and trend. Just selling something that is easy to produce, pretty comfortable, not complicated(jeans t-shirts) or something that looks interesting but in fact is very tawdry. Maybe it's about the popularity of barbie dolls and going along with that doll style. Also in the 80, 90 there were popular mom jeans so in 2000 people created something opposite- super low waisted jeans.

Not so sure, you can tell that the ideal is not the white woman’s body only anymore. There is space for different shapes and styles, hair textures etc... The Lady Gagas of the world have brought drag queen make up out of the shadows at the same time where curvier and now plus sizes are getting accepted as worthy to enjoy fashion too. Even make up brands now offer more shades in foundation/eyeshadows when before their lack of range was a clear exclusion of certain skin colors - they arbitrarily decided in some way what was considered beautiful. You add technology to that and now you can see that a wide range of people can now feel free to explore their beauty, play around, present a new type of beauty. You can see the extreme competition white women now feel with that opening of beauty standards; they now do all types of injections in lips and butts to keep up their place at the top of a completely racialized and engineered beauty pyramid. It kinda looks a bit anarchic right now but I suppose it’s the shuffle of reorganization before it calms down with a new order later on.

I quit wearing makeup and lost weight during a time when I was in a deep depression. I even didn't shower for over a week because I was traumatized and distraught. Standing in line at a store (and feeling incredibly self-conscious) a woman approached me. I was afraid she'd go off on how big of a mess I was, or I had something stuck in my hair. Turns out she was a scout for a (fairly large) modeling agency. I'd been scouted many times before (I'm 5'10" long and slender build) but I did NOT expect that day to be a day I was scouted. A lot of people get model scouted not as much for their beauty, but because they fit some sort of ideal (and because they're tall) which I find interesting. I politely declined the business card. "I'm 30 years old" I said. Having had modeling experience in the past, I knew I was too old to get back into it. The lady was surprised (I look younger with no makeup) and started stumbling over her words a bit. I was like "I get it. I've done this in the past and I know you're looking for younger women. I'm not offended, just don't wanna waste your time". She was relieved that I didn't get pissed off lol. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and forms. People are often confused when they see the bedraggled messy-hair wreck of a human get model scouted in front of another girl who is all made up and dressed nicely. The first question they ask is always "how tall are you?" That's just how it is. I do love the movement towards more natural beauty that has not been enhanced with surgical procedures and filters. This is just a message for the people who are beautiful and take care of themselves, only to be passed over by model scouts for the girl with matted hair and ugly, dirty clothes. It's really only the height and body type that matters. The lights are hot and the fast clothing changes are jarring. It kinda sucks tbh. I'm a carpenter and infinitely happier doing that than prancing down a catwalk in painful shoes or posing in an unnatural position under hot lights while my back is killing me. Modeling is overrated as hell.

​@@christineguerrero5678 Being scouted depends heavily upon where you live, and is more common and happens more often in larger cities. Modeling starts as a dream for most. Being scouted is extremely validating, not gonna lie about that one.. but modeling itself becomes a nightmare for many. The mixture of toxic industry standards and sheer circumstance creates a perfect climate for deterioration of mental and physical health in many cases; mine included. In my past experience, I encountered a number of really creepy photographers, which trapped me in uncomfortable situations where the power dynamic was severely shifted (out of my favor) by the photographers (mostly older men).

Plastic surgery trend is real! I've noticed that it's becoming a big trend, especially in East Asia. Before it wasn't trendy during 90s, but now East Asian girls want to have Vshape small face like Kpop entertainers. That's mostly achievable through plastic surgery. I see most girls nowaday have had some works done to fit in. Otherwise they won't be considered pretty enough. I remember during 90s, girls were confident with their natural mono lids but now most had have double lids surgery for bigger eyes. It's really really sad. I don't blame girls for their insecurity because we all have that. I do blame the beauty industry and some irresponsible influencers who set out the wrong idea of beauty for their own gains.

And there are so many teenagers getting nose jobs and lip fillers - and their bodies/minds aren't fully developed yet.

There are also those girls on who try so hard to be different on social media that they ruin their bodies. Like Sara Mcdaniel and her fake eye.

They're wrecked by age 30. Horrible wrecked faces, psychological problems because they used surgery to address normal adolescent awkwardness instead of just rolling with it and growing out of it like normal people. High suicide rates, not suprisingf. People who constantly pick at their faces and bodies with surgeries are highly uncomfortable with their own being and eventually it all falls down. Surgery is the worst thing they can do and is in fact another form of self-harm.

Even if it was a very short recession, grunge fashion started towards the end of it. The trend continued after, and became more popular for aesthetic purposes the following year.

Hypebeasts are somewhat of a subculture. They all seem to listen to the same soundcloud rap and wear the same overhyped streetwear brands like Supreme and embody hyper-commercialism in an (unfortunately) non-ironic way. Albeit, they are a horrendous subculture and one I wish would just go away.

[@frankiep-w1594]

I think nowadays there are just so many smaller subcultures, rather than one solidarity on how to rebel. Probably because they can thrive in their own corner of the Internet. I personally hardly know anyone who follows the "main" beauty standard, just lots of variations of skater/hippie/grunge/vintage/egirl hybrids

[@giladadadada1614]

there is absolutely a subculture nowadays. i’m fact, there’s a few subcultures going on. art hoes, hype beasts, vintage kids, emos, hipsters, pastel goths, the list goes on. the interesting thing is though that now there seems to be less of a pressure to fit in to one category and more of an emphasis on doing what you like regardless of lablels

I think it's great you have made this video and I hope people watch this and hopefully come away appreciating themselves more.

[@crueltyfreemakeupheaven6907]

You always have such an interesting way of explaining the underlining past, undercurrents and mechanisms that relate to what keeps us all (in some way or another) busy nowadays. Food for thought!

[@averagepollinator]

I think now women and girls are _excpected to be their own make up artists and fashion designers rather than just a freedom to be so. There might be a rebellion of absolute minimal or even absurdist aesthetics brewing, like, another tomboy-ish era, but with liberation from taking fashion and make up so seriously: we already see nonsensical graphic logos and text on oversized clothing and strange combinations of proportions in tops and bottoms, hoods, pockets, lacing & zippers in unexpected places/pieces, especially in the youth section in some stores. There also might be a rebellion against the absolute perfect sculpted body type soon, because I think the thicc trend has culminated in recent years into people actually heavily body shaming each other for having the wrong shape of ass. That is definitely going to cause an outbreak sooner or later, because people have a tendency to resist if they can't match expectations. I'm also sensing that subcultures are blending in, that might be a resistance against the very fiery divide between subcultures that has been present for so long. Alternative scenes have mellowed down in their distinctiveness, and 'mainstream' constantly adapts key ingredients from looks considered alternative.

In some print ads one sees heavier and more "ethnic" models. Hair is always perfect, TEETH are ALWAYS straight and extra white. When I visit my friend in the UK we always talk about actresses with American teeth or British teeth! Plastic surgery isn't extra expansive anymore, and one can see many teenagers with nose jobs and chin refining. At least they don't have to contour so much anymore!

They look at Instagram and see so many women with these duck lips and then they look at their own thin lips and think "wow I'm really ugly maybe I need to change my appearance".... To me it's an unhealthy beauty standard. The only reason you would inject botox into your face is if you aren't happy with your natural self. That's it. And this is coming from someone whose mother AND sister both had breast augmentations. They were both unhappy with their small busts. You wouldn't really even know unless you knew them before and after, because they got the 'natural' kind and they're bodies look more symmetrical now (hourglass rather than pear). But still, society and its obsession with large busts and their insecurities made them do it. I love them both dearly and I think they look great but in the back of my head I wish they didn't feel they had to adhere to these so called beauty standards and just love themselves the way they were born :/

Eyelash extensions actually began in the early 2000s. They were very very subtle, not long, and not heavy. People slowly started getting used to the idea of false lashes again.

Now, there are infinite ways to enhance eyelashes and extremely long, thick, artificial looking false eyelashes are very popular at the moment.

This is such an interesting video on how these trends and styles evolved. I'm not a fan at all of the selfie/Instagram community. For me, it feels ridiculous to load my face with makeup and then pose with my lips puckered for a camera. I feel it's really messed with the egos of many women in the last decade especially and that worries me. My friend's beautiful niece, who was a selfie-obsessed, up and coming beauty 'influencer' was so deeply involved in how many likes her Instagram posts had one day that while flipping through them when crossing the street in front of her Mom's house, she was struck by a speeding vehicle and killed instantly. I think this story, although unusual, is almost poetic in that it shows the priorities of some young women today....appearance being number 1. Being older, I lived through the '70s and '80s and the pressure of appearing cosmetically flawless and was really hoping that by now we women would have evolved towards more self-acceptance and comfort in our own skin. There are so many important issues going on in our world right now....2-4 hours of hair and makeup every day is a waste of life (it's shorter than you think) and just distracts you from what's really important ie/ your family and friends, your well being, spirituality/meditation and important global occurrences that need your attention and help. A professional makeup artist can do a full face in less than an hour....strive for that if anything. No one needs 8 layers of cosmetics for their skin alone just because Kim K says you do. You're being told you look flawless but in reality, you're wearing Kabuki, Drag...an unnatural mask. I love the honesty of this video as it shines a light on how manipulative the media and internet in particular really is when it comes to trends and how people are willing to do anything, including injecting poison into their faces to keep up. Try to remember that those KZbin 'influencers' are exactly that....influencers, paid to convince you that you need all those products. It's all about money and you are being led right to the cosmetics counter to empty out your wallets while the influencers fill up their bank accounts. Thanks for making this video, it was so interesting, you really covered ALL the bases! :)
