Speaker 1: Hey, beautys, it's Jamie Joe and Jesse Masud and welcome
Speaker 1: to Skinfluence, a podcast dedicated to beauty, fashion and self love.
Speaker 2: Turning your weakness into your uniqueness.
Speaker 1: Before we get started, we would like to acknowledge the
Speaker 1: custodians of the land on which we record, the Gadigal
Speaker 1: people of the Urination. Today's episode will be a little
Speaker 1: more controversial, as we are going to be revealing what
Speaker 1: we think the top five worst makeup trends are and
Speaker 1: some products that can help you navigate yourself away from
Speaker 1: their track. Okay, Jess, I'm really excited to be talking
Speaker 1: about Olie's favorite makeup trends because there are some really
Speaker 1: big doozies going around on the internet right now and
Speaker 1: are the kind of trend that we are going to
Speaker 1: look back on and just laugh at. Yeah, it's one
Speaker 1: of those things that you just go, why, why are
Speaker 1: we doing this?
Speaker 2: What led us to be that way?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And make those decisions.
Speaker 1: That's true, and it kind of reminds me of like
Speaker 1: looking back on twenty sixteen makeup trends we all hate,
Speaker 1: like the full Matt lipstick and the crazy eyebrows, So
Speaker 1: this is similar situation. But we're predicting what we're going
Speaker 1: to hate later.
Speaker 2: Yeap, Okay, let's get into it. What's the first one?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: This is a very recent trend. I don't think you've
Speaker 1: seen it though. It is contouring your whole face with blush,
Speaker 1: which I cannot wrap my head around. When you were
Speaker 1: talking about this with me in the car, I thought,
Speaker 1: how does that actually work? Like, isn't contouring to shape
Speaker 1: your face?
Speaker 2: How would blush achieve that? Look?
Speaker 1: Yeah, contouring is basically it's supposed to create shadow. Right,
Speaker 1: you're gonna create shape dimension, you know, chiose a lot
Speaker 1: of few features with blush. I can kind of get
Speaker 1: the premise of the trend because blush can make you
Speaker 1: feel like really youthful and sun kissed and beautiful. But
Speaker 1: I think we're just taking.
Speaker 2: It a step too far.
Speaker 1: People are literally taking cream blush like in a stick form,
Speaker 1: and they are drawing it across their forehead, underneath their cheekbones,
Speaker 1: and on their chin.
Speaker 2: Just so I can understand a little bit better.
Speaker 1: Is it like a bright pink, a rosy pink, like
Speaker 1: a deep reddish pink?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: What color is I wouldn't say it's a bright pink,
Speaker 1: but it's definitely more of a rosy pink, so like
Speaker 1: a pink that would emulate your natural flush.
Speaker 2: M Does that makes sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but they're literally painting it on, like they
Speaker 1: are painting it on, and they're even chiseling out their
Speaker 1: nose with pink blush. And the worst part is the chin, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because why would we want to emphasize redness in the chin? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I yeah, that's exactly right. It makes you look a
Speaker 1: little bit sick. I don't like the trend because it
Speaker 1: makes people look sick, and especially on anyone.
Speaker 2: With a medium skin tone upwards. This is not the one.
Speaker 1: I just can't imagine doing it on my personal skin
Speaker 1: tone because I have like no natural rosiness or pinkness
Speaker 1: in my face, so adding that info contour would make
Speaker 1: no sense.
Speaker 2: It'd be like so disparate to my natural skin tone. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it does look like kind of pretty on paler skin.
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan.
Speaker 1: I think that we're in a blush era, and I
Speaker 1: love the blush era, but we're definitely just taking it.
Speaker 2: A bit too fast.
Speaker 1: So some other variations, Well, I was just gonna say
Speaker 1: that I love the experimentation of blush, but we really
Speaker 1: do tend to push things to their limits. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: maybe this is just an example where oh we could
Speaker 1: like rain it in a little like it just doesn't work, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's not realistic to leave your house with blush content.
Speaker 2: I mean you could, but does it look amazing?
Speaker 1: Probably it's not in your personal opinion, but I don't
Speaker 1: like it right now. Nude Sticks actually just launched a
Speaker 1: new collection and they have a whole Bronze Stick's Sun
Speaker 1: Kissed collection, which kind of emulates where the sun would
Speaker 1: naturally fall on the face and gives it that gorgeous highlight.
Speaker 1: And those tones are really nice, Like they actually came
Speaker 1: out with a few different tones that would match a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of different skin colors. This I wouldn't recommend
Speaker 1: putting anywhere near the chin, but it is nice on
Speaker 1: the cheeks. It is really nice on the cheeks and
Speaker 1: even on the eyelids, just for more of a monochromatic look.
Speaker 2: Are these pink shades or are these more bronze shades?
Speaker 2: They are, like there are harmonious mix of both.
Speaker 1: They're really so you're saying that like for using different
Speaker 1: shades of different areas, or is it like a one
Speaker 1: shade stick. They have an entire collection based around being
Speaker 1: bronze and some kissed. So there's a few more bronze
Speaker 1: shades and there's a few shades that kind of have
Speaker 1: like pinky brownness. Yeah, and I think a way to
Speaker 1: achieve like the contour look without necessarily going in on
Speaker 1: your nose and your chin with a pink you can
Speaker 1: still draw attention to different parts of your face and
Speaker 1: make it look fuller or slimmer with the placement of
Speaker 1: your blush.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so. Where do you place your bluster? Because
Speaker 2: I've told you off in the past. Yeah, you just
Speaker 2: like sometimes you just put blush like everywhere.
Speaker 1: Am like Jamie, Like You're you're not even like targeting
Speaker 1: a specific spot that it could look way more flattering
Speaker 1: if you just put it on the apples, if you
Speaker 1: want to look more fuller, higher up, if you want
Speaker 1: to have like the high cheekbone look. So after I
Speaker 1: gave you that advice to not just put it all
Speaker 1: over your side.
Speaker 2: To your face, yeh, where do you like to put
Speaker 2: it now?
Speaker 1: Okay, sometimes I just get really sloppy with my makeup,
Speaker 1: to be honest, I'm just like check the blush on
Speaker 1: Let's get out the door looks good to me. But
Speaker 1: I'd noticed that I was putting the blush like a
Speaker 1: little bit too far down.
Speaker 2: It made you look droopy. Yeah, it was like it
Speaker 2: was drawing.
Speaker 1: It was drawing my face like downwards rather than lifting
Speaker 1: and enhancing my natural features.
Speaker 2: So now, if I want to be like ooh, I'm intentional. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If I want to be like fun and cute, I
Speaker 1: like to pop it like right on the apples.
Speaker 2: If I want to be more snatched.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pop it more like up towards my eyes
Speaker 1: to create that like caddy effect. So it's still intentional
Speaker 1: placement of the product, but not necessarily on your chin.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the new sticks is a great option to achieve
Speaker 1: that look without overdoing it and.
Speaker 2: Just going straight in with a strict blush. And they
Speaker 2: are sixty dollars.
Speaker 1: And you can get them from Sephora, and you can
Speaker 1: just pick anyone that like really matches your own skin
Speaker 1: tone and suits.
Speaker 2: The vibe that you're going to go for.
Speaker 1: I think one of the worst makeup trends and just
Speaker 1: trands in general is the mob wife aesthetic.
Speaker 2: I really hate it.
Speaker 1: What it is is that kind of like Italian mafia wife.
Speaker 1: Look if that even has a look, so I would
Speaker 1: say big hoops, big blowout, really like dark eye maker, yeah,
Speaker 1: a red lip, like maybe a beauty spot just like
Speaker 1: that coat, okay, and like high leather black boots.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I know what you mean, but it sounds like twenty
Speaker 1: ten because that's what we all used to do. I
Speaker 1: just think that the name is like a bit silly
Speaker 1: mob wife aesthetic, Like being a mob wife doesn't really
Speaker 1: actually sound very appealing.
Speaker 2: No, it's not, is it? So what parts do you
Speaker 2: like or do you just hate it in general? No?
Speaker 1: I think that you can do it in a good way,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't need to be necessarily under the.
Speaker 2: Name of being a mob wife makeup.
Speaker 1: Look, it's just going back to the same thing of
Speaker 1: not going with the clean girl aesthetic. Everyone just got
Speaker 1: really really sick of the clean girl aesthetic, and then
Speaker 1: people started doing a bit more smudgy makeup.
Speaker 2: And they're like, oh, it's it's mob wife makeup, like
Speaker 2: taking it to the next level. It's really not. It's
Speaker 2: just because in my mind, I'm thinking mob wife is
Speaker 2: just an extension of that sexy secretary which we talked about,
Speaker 2: which is now called the Red Wine Girl. Huh. So,
Speaker 2: I think I love so many different aspects of that.
Speaker 1: For me, I like the experimentation with the makeup, like
Speaker 1: using a little bit darker products. I started to stray
Speaker 1: away from dark brown and black eyeliners, especially in my
Speaker 1: waterline because when I was younger, I thought, oh, this
Speaker 1: makes me look really really ethnic, and I didn't like
Speaker 1: that because I wanted to fit in. So I like
Speaker 1: that it kind of plays to ethnic features and it
Speaker 1: does look really beautiful on ethnic features, this particular trend.
Speaker 1: So that is a part of it that I an
Speaker 1: interesting name for the trend exactly.
Speaker 2: Like why is it called that?
Speaker 1: But what we can take away from this is you
Speaker 1: don't have to obviously fit into that clean girl aesthetic,
Speaker 1: and like being messy with your makeup does look really
Speaker 1: really beautiful and effortless sometimes. So that is a part
Speaker 1: of the trend that I like to incomprete more.
Speaker 2: I really want to move on to this next one
Speaker 2: because I can't. It's the Meredith Duxbury Foundation technique.
Speaker 1: Now, if you don't know the name of it, you'll
Speaker 1: know what it is when I describe it. It's when
Speaker 1: you pump a lot of foundation onto your hands, like
Speaker 1: a lot, like a lot, a lot, like a wasteful amount,
Speaker 1: and rub it into the skin. And most people will
Speaker 1: remember on TikTok there was one specific person doing it,
Speaker 1: that's Meredith yep, and.
Speaker 2: She would get millions and millions and millions of views
Speaker 2: just for doing this. Yeah, it was a marketing move.
Speaker 1: On her holy and people started to play into the
Speaker 1: trend and try out the trend for themselves because really,
Speaker 1: like realistically, I don't think anybody watching thought, oh, that's
Speaker 1: a really good way to apply foundation, Like no one
Speaker 1: wants nasty apply a layer like a cake layer of
Speaker 1: foundation like fondant on your face and then have it
Speaker 1: like dripping on your hands. Like it doesn't it doesn't
Speaker 1: look nice, It looks uncomfortable, the skin looks cakey. And
Speaker 1: she literally would rub this like five five six pumps.
Speaker 1: I just remember her like scraping it off her face
Speaker 1: like it's a full layer, but like before she takes
Speaker 1: it off, it just looks like she has a very
Speaker 1: flawless foundation on, like if you didn't know how she
Speaker 1: applied it. So I think people liked the full coverage
Speaker 1: nature of the look it was prior to realizing what
Speaker 1: she was doing. But you can get that with one
Speaker 1: product and applying a very no amount onto your skin. Definitely,
Speaker 1: you just need to emulate that similar look. All she
Speaker 1: was doing was full glam essentially, but she was using
Speaker 1: this kind of like tactic to draw people in and
Speaker 1: question what she was doing. So she's she's actually very
Speaker 1: smart in building like a cult following.
Speaker 2: That was her way in. But what I personally, I
Speaker 2: never followed her. I don't understand the reason behind following
Speaker 2: someone who just pumps a lot of foundation in the
Speaker 2: hands and puts on the face.
Speaker 1: What.
Speaker 2: No, you have to give her some credit.
Speaker 1: She actually does and people just fell in love with
Speaker 1: their personality over time, which is like she's really funny.
Speaker 1: She's actually really funny. So I kind of get it.
Speaker 1: But in terms of this trend for foundation, number one,
Speaker 1: it's wasteful. Number two, it actually does not look good.
Speaker 1: It is caky, and products are expensive.
Speaker 2: Means to be doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't need to be doing that. So some
Speaker 1: recommendations on our part. If you want to have a
Speaker 1: full beat, full glam and you want your skin to
Speaker 1: look absolutely perfect, like not like real skin, just like
Speaker 1: a full beat. Yeah, like I'm going glam yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So me and Jamie really love the Georgio Omani Luminous
Speaker 1: Silk Foundation. This is on the price your side one
Speaker 1: hundred and five dollars from David Jones. But of course
Speaker 1: we love to provide cheaper options, and I use this
Speaker 1: one particularly all the time. It's the Mabelne Super Stay
Speaker 1: twenty four hour skin tint, and this one's only twenty
Speaker 1: dollars from Chemist Warehouse. I don't let the name deter
Speaker 1: you because skin tint obviously sounds like it's just gonna
Speaker 1: be light coverage, but I don't know what Mabeline have
Speaker 1: put in this magic bottle. This gives you the most
Speaker 1: flawless face, and you can just build it up just
Speaker 1: to add a little bit, like more full coverage. But
Speaker 1: it's such a beautiful product and finish on the face.
Speaker 1: In terms of the Dodgio Amani Luminous Silk, it is
Speaker 1: an investment. But this is kind of like your special
Speaker 1: occasion foundation. Like if you're going to a wedding and
Speaker 1: you need your makeup to last all day from morning
Speaker 1: to night, this one will and even performers or people
Speaker 1: that are going on stage like this one is gonna last.
Speaker 2: Isn't this what you use? I wouldn't use this on stage.
Speaker 2: It's too beautiful to sweat off. Oh enough.
Speaker 1: I would use this for a wedding formal event or
Speaker 1: like if I am creating like a really beautiful makeup
Speaker 1: look for fun, whatever it is.
Speaker 2: If I want to look snatched, that's what I'm going
Speaker 2: to use.
Speaker 1: We are onto our fourth trend that we hate and
Speaker 1: that is a strong word, but this one I particularly
Speaker 1: really really do not like it is the pink underreyes.
Speaker 2: This one is really similar to the contour on your
Speaker 2: face with blush. It's like, what are we doing? I
Speaker 2: know we love.
Speaker 1: Blush, and I think there is a place for it,
Speaker 1: and under the eyes, I don't think it's one of
Speaker 1: those places, not the one.
Speaker 2: Let me explain what it looks like first. Yeah, So,
Speaker 2: when blush.
Speaker 1: Kind of re emerged and took the whole baitty industry by, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, just put them in a choke hold.
Speaker 2: Really, there was one particular blush and it was the
Speaker 2: Dior blush.
Speaker 1: It's a very beautiful lilac light pink tone and it
Speaker 1: kind of emulates like a baby doll. Blush really that
Speaker 1: became so popular everyone was using it. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: when everyone sort of wanted the like porcelain dole effects exactly,
Speaker 1: that porcelain smooth skin, like very unnatural looking cheek. To
Speaker 1: be honest, it doesn't look natural at all. This is
Speaker 1: for the full glam girlies. So everyone was obsessed with
Speaker 1: that blush and they started to play around with placement.
Speaker 1: And I noticed a lot of people using blush kind
Speaker 1: of on the side of their eye, which can look
Speaker 1: really beautiful, especially if you were doing an art like
Speaker 1: a creation with your makeup. But people started getting a
Speaker 1: little bit a little bit funky with it, and they
Speaker 1: started using with their concealer. They would add a dot
Speaker 1: of their blush into their concealer and actually cover their
Speaker 1: underreyes in like a very pink tone.
Speaker 2: And I know, I know, Jesse can't fathom that.
Speaker 1: No, like a liquid blush in they'd mix the colors
Speaker 1: to do that. Again, I just think it would make
Speaker 1: me look sick personally, and I can't imagine leaving the
Speaker 1: house exactly. This isn't something that's going to look cute
Speaker 1: in natural lighting like at all. This isn't for the
Speaker 1: natural girl. Actually, I've realized a lot, Like a lot
Speaker 1: of the looks we see online look really good with
Speaker 1: the ring light in front and the beautifilter on which
Speaker 1: beautifilter is another topic for me, but yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of the time in person, it doesn't resonate as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this is exactly that trend. So people started not
Speaker 1: only doing that adding the blush into their concealer, then
Speaker 1: they also started scraping blush, like actually breaking up their
Speaker 1: blush palettes into their transitional yeah, to set under their eyes. Okay,
Speaker 1: there are products that you can get that without having
Speaker 1: to break up your own little palettes. Of course, now
Speaker 1: people have actually come out with like cherry setting powders,
Speaker 1: oh like cherry like like pink undertoned section. I had
Speaker 1: one of those from Yeah, but it's very it's the
Speaker 1: rose undertone that's really fun.
Speaker 2: It's really subtle. There's some there's some bread, right wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, So this trend, I would say again for the
Speaker 1: full beat girlies, and it kind of the original meaning
Speaker 1: or the original like thing that they wanted to achieve
Speaker 1: behind this trend was to add like a seamless finish
Speaker 1: to your makeup so that your blush kind of blended
Speaker 1: really seamlessly into the underrye. But they just took it
Speaker 1: way too far and they started to put blush fully
Speaker 1: like under their underrye and it looks pink and it
Speaker 1: just looks unnatural.
Speaker 2: So it's not.
Speaker 1: Something we would ever do. We're from the cat capital
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And that's why I'm saying, if you're
Speaker 1: doing an artsy look, this is cool. It looks beautiful,
Speaker 1: but it's not. You're not going to a wedding with
Speaker 1: pink underaes.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't personally, no, I know clearly, but in terms
Speaker 1: of blushes that we're obsessed with right now that do
Speaker 1: blend beautifully into the skin if you want to get
Speaker 1: that look and that placement kind of higher up on
Speaker 1: the face. I have just fallen in love with a
Speaker 1: new blush. But it is pricey, guys, it's pricey. It
Speaker 1: is the Power blush from Gucci in the shade zero
Speaker 1: nine Intense plum, also from David Jones, and it's eighty
Speaker 1: eight dollars, like dollars for a blush.
Speaker 2: Is oh yeah, but that's like a gift. It is.
Speaker 2: This is like special occasion present. Packaging is really beautiful.
Speaker 2: It's something nice to receive. It's locks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really really pretty Gucci standard packaging, like just
Speaker 1: looks really nice and it's a gorgeous color.
Speaker 2: Jesse immediately stole it off me. Yeah, he's always going.
Speaker 1: To be taking like those really nice, almost plummish colors
Speaker 1: away from you because they look better on me.
Speaker 2: They do, they actually do. They look really good on chess.
Speaker 1: So this is I mean, you can just place that
Speaker 1: kind of higher up on the cheek to get that
Speaker 1: look without Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: So this last makeup trend that we hate, actually we
Speaker 2: don't agree on. Yeah, we don't agree.
Speaker 1: So Jamie has put in the laminated soap browse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we have differing opinions, so we thought that would
Speaker 1: be fun to share. Yeah, well, I hate laminated brows
Speaker 1: where they look like like they've i don't know, even electrocuted, like.
Speaker 2: An added eyelash, Yeah, but stuck down. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: So if you don't know what it is, dominated brows
Speaker 1: kind of came around maybe.
Speaker 2: Like two years ago. So it's a.
Speaker 1: Beauty treatment where you have to get it done professionally
Speaker 1: and the brow artist essentially sticks your brows in place.
Speaker 1: So originally it was just to keep the brows in
Speaker 1: place and make them look like soft and fluffy. But
Speaker 1: we went too far again and we ended up with
Speaker 1: having very spiky, long looking eyebrows.
Speaker 2: And it kind of is jarring. So you always are
Speaker 2: taking the extreme case.
Speaker 1: So for me, I like little lemonade soap brows that
Speaker 1: you can sort of even just do them by yourself
Speaker 1: at home with a product like I remember at Mecca
Speaker 1: they have it.
Speaker 2: It was like thirteen yeah, soap brow They're the soap
Speaker 2: Brow Kit. It was like fourteen dollars yep. And it's
Speaker 2: just it's like a paste that it was like a
Speaker 2: little pot of jelly pot and you have to spray spray.
Speaker 1: Is setting spray in it and then you kind of
Speaker 1: stick your eyebrows down in place. And that was really
Speaker 1: good for me because personally, my eyebrows move around so much, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't stay in the position I want them to
Speaker 1: with a normal.
Speaker 2: Eyebrow jel that's true for me. That works really well
Speaker 2: in lasting the day.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I guess I wouldn't make them look
Speaker 1: like sticky porky pines like you're talking about, but I
Speaker 1: can see why you don't like that look.
Speaker 2: But I love a laminated brow on someone who has a.
Speaker 1: Really big features and eyebrows are strong, and I think
Speaker 1: it suits them really well.
Speaker 2: Well, it does. It suits models like they look absolutely incredible.
Speaker 2: But I could never get a tiny face. Yeah, my
Speaker 2: face is too small and it would be very jarring.
Speaker 2: It would be Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that people get like, this is what I've
Speaker 1: been seeing going around actually on TikTok brow dysphoria, where
Speaker 1: they think that their brows look really really good for
Speaker 1: a long period of time and then they look back
Speaker 1: and they go, what was I doing?
Speaker 2: Oh, you've been through and I've done that. I've done that.
Speaker 1: So that's why I can't play into this trend. It
Speaker 1: just seems terrifying. Yeah, you're terrified to try anything with
Speaker 1: your eyebrows because Jamie went through this like three year
Speaker 1: phase of block black eyebrows twenty sixteen. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've seen Jamie's space, but just try and imagine it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not it wasn't.
Speaker 1: I suit like softer things don't have that strong like
Speaker 1: model face that can carry. I think eyebrows are something
Speaker 1: that people are constantly experimenting with. We've got like shaving
Speaker 1: the ends of brows off. That's scary that they might
Speaker 1: not grow back. Like I remember my mum's generotion they
Speaker 1: all plucked their eyebrows to super super thin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they've just never grown back. So I wouldn't
Speaker 2: make permanent changes like, no, definitely not, but I ski
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: But thin brows are kind of in right now too.
Speaker 1: I love thin brows on TikTok, like they look really cute.
Speaker 1: But it's just a filter too, Like it's not going
Speaker 1: to be in real life. It's not gonna look good
Speaker 1: in real life. Have you seen the thin.
Speaker 2: Brow filter I have? I don't like it. See, I
Speaker 2: think I will look good with that. You already have
Speaker 2: thin eyebrows. Why make them thinner? Well, I'm not going to.
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes I'm tempted.
Speaker 1: But you did it last time, and they're like, I
Speaker 1: accidentally plucked too much off.
Speaker 2: Yeah I did.
Speaker 1: But Jesse gets a brows done right, and I do
Speaker 1: my own brows because I'm very fussy. So these are
Speaker 1: our top five current hated makeup trends. But this is
Speaker 1: always changing, guys. It always comes in and out of
Speaker 1: fashion depending on what is trending right now in the world. Yeah,
