Speaker 1: Hey Beauty, It's Jamie Joe and Jesse Masud and welcome
Speaker 1: to Skinfluence, a podcast dedicated to beauty, fashion and self love,
Speaker 1: turning your weakness into your uniqueness. Before we get started,
Speaker 1: we would like to acknowledge the custodians of the land
Speaker 1: on which we record, the Gadigal people of the Urination.
Speaker 1: Today's episode will be a little more controversial, as we
Speaker 1: are going to be revealing what we think the top
Speaker 1: five worst makeup trends are and some products that can
Speaker 1: help you navigate yourself away from their track. Okay, Jess,
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to be talking about Olie's favorite makeup
Speaker 1: trends because there are some really big doozies going around
Speaker 1: on the internet right now and are the kind of
Speaker 1: trend that we are going to look back on and
Speaker 1: just laugh at. Yeah, it's one of those things that
Speaker 1: you just go, why, why are we doing this?
Speaker 2: What led us to be that way? Yeah, and make
Speaker 2: 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?
Speaker 1: Look? 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 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? No? What color is I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say it's a bright pink, but it's definitely more of
Speaker 1: a rosy pink, so like a pink that would emulate
Speaker 1: your natural flush.
Speaker 3: 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, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. It makes you look a little bit sick.
Speaker 1: I don't like the trend because it makes people look sick,
Speaker 1: and especially on anyone.
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it does look like kind of pretty on
Speaker 1: paler skin.
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan. I think that we're in a
Speaker 3: blush era, and I love the blush era, but we're
Speaker 3: definitely just taking it a bit too fast. So some
Speaker 3: other variations.
Speaker 1: Well, I was just gonna say that I love the
Speaker 1: experimentation of blush but we really do tend to push
Speaker 1: things to their limits. Yeah, and maybe this is just
Speaker 1: an example where oh we could like rain it in
Speaker 1: a little like it just doesn't work, Yeah, because it's
Speaker 1: not realistic to leave your house with blush content. I
Speaker 1: mean you could, but does it look amazing? Probably it's
Speaker 1: not in your personal opinion, but I don't like it
Speaker 1: right now. Nude Sticks actually just launched a new collection
Speaker 1: and they have a whole Bronze Stick's Sun Kissed collection,
Speaker 1: which kind of emulates where the sun would naturally fall
Speaker 1: on the face and gives it that gorgeous highlight. And
Speaker 1: those tones are really nice, Like they actually came out
Speaker 1: with a few different tones that would match a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of different skin colors. This I wouldn't recommend putting
Speaker 1: anywhere near the chin, but it is nice on the cheeks.
Speaker 1: It is really nice on the cheeks and even on
Speaker 1: the eyelids, just for more of a monochromatic look.
Speaker 2: Are these pink shades or are these more bronze shades?
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 1: Where do you place your bluster? Because I've told you
Speaker 1: off in the past. Yeah, you just like sometimes you
Speaker 1: just put blush like everywhere. Am like Jamie, Like you're
Speaker 1: you're not even like targeting a specific spot that it
Speaker 1: could look way more flattering if you just put it
Speaker 1: on the apples, if you want to look more fuller,
Speaker 1: higher up, if you want to have like the high
Speaker 1: cheekbone look. So after I gave you that advice to
Speaker 1: not just put it all over your side to your face,
Speaker 1: where do you like to put it now? Okay, sometimes
Speaker 1: I just get really sloppy with my makeup, to be honest,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, check the blush on let's get out
Speaker 1: the door.
Speaker 3: Looks good to me.
Speaker 1: But I'd noticed that I was putting the blush like
Speaker 1: a little bit too far down.
Speaker 2: It made you look droopy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like it was drawing.
Speaker 1: It was drawing my face like downwards rather than lifting
Speaker 1: and enhancing my natural feature.
Speaker 3: So now, if I want to be like ooh, I'm intentional.
Speaker 1: Yeah. If I want to be like fun and cute,
Speaker 1: I like to pop it like right on the apples.
Speaker 3: 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 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the new sticks is a great option to achieve
Speaker 1: that look without overdoing it and.
Speaker 3: Just going straight in with a strict blush. And they
Speaker 3: 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 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 3: 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 3: 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?
Speaker 1: No? I think that you can do it in a
Speaker 1: good way, but it doesn't need to be necessarily under the.
Speaker 3: 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 3: And they're like, oh, it's it's mob wife makeup.
Speaker 2: Like taking it to the next level. It's really not.
Speaker 1: It's just because in my mind, I'm thinking mob wife
Speaker 1: is just an extension of that sexy secretary which we
Speaker 1: talked about, which is now called the red Wine Girl.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 2: So, 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 3: So that is a part of it that I.
Speaker 2: An interesting name for the trend exactly.
Speaker 3: 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. I
Speaker 1: really want to move on to this next one because
Speaker 1: I can't. It's the Meredith Duxbury Foundation technique. Now, if
Speaker 1: you don't know the name of it, you'll know what
Speaker 1: it is when I describe it. It's when you pump
Speaker 1: a lot of foundation onto your hands like a lot,
Speaker 1: like a lot, a lot, like a wasteful amount, and
Speaker 1: rub it into the skin. And most people will remember
Speaker 1: on TikTok there was one specific person doing it, that's
Speaker 1: 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 like scraping it off her face like it's
Speaker 1: a full layer. But like before she takes it off,
Speaker 1: it just looks like she has a very flawless foundation on,
Speaker 1: like if you didn't know how she applied it. So
Speaker 1: I think people liked the full coverage nature of the look.
Speaker 1: It was prior to realizing what she was doing. But
Speaker 1: you can get that with one product and applying a
Speaker 1: very no amount onto your skin. Definitely, you just need
Speaker 1: to emulate that similar look. All she was doing was
Speaker 1: full glam essentially, but she was using this kind of
Speaker 1: like tactic to draw people in and question what she
Speaker 1: was doing. So she's she's actually very smart in building
Speaker 1: like a cult following.
Speaker 3: That was her way in.
Speaker 2: But what I personally, I never followed her.
Speaker 1: I don't understand the reason behind following someone who just
Speaker 1: pumps a lot of foundation in the hands and puts
Speaker 1: on the face. What.
Speaker 3: No, you have to give her some credit. She actually does.
Speaker 1: And people just fell in love with their personality over time,
Speaker 1: which is like she's really funny. She's actually really funny.
Speaker 1: So I kind of get it. But in terms of
Speaker 1: this trend for foundation, number one, it's wasteful. Number two,
Speaker 1: it actually does not look good. It is caky, and
Speaker 1: products are expensive means to be doing Yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: need to be doing that. So some recommendations on our part.
Speaker 1: If you want to have a full beat, full glam
Speaker 1: and you want your skin to look absolutely perfect, like
Speaker 1: not like real skin, just like a full beat, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I'm going glam Yeah, yeah, yeah. So me and
Speaker 1: Jamie really love the Georgio Omani Luminous Silk Foundation. This
Speaker 1: is on the price your side one hundred and five
Speaker 1: dollars from David Jones.
Speaker 2: But of course we love to provide cheaper options.
Speaker 1: And I use this one particularly all the time. It's
Speaker 1: the Mabelne Super Stay twenty four hour skin tint, and
Speaker 1: this one's only twenty dollars from Chemist Warehouse. I don't
Speaker 1: let the name deter you because skin tint obviously sounds
Speaker 1: like it's just gonna be light coverage, but I don't
Speaker 1: know what Mabeline have put in this magic bottle. This
Speaker 1: gives you the most flawless face, and you can just
Speaker 1: build it up just to add a little bit, like
Speaker 1: more full coverage. But it's such a beautiful product and
Speaker 1: finish on the face. In terms of the Dodgio Amani
Speaker 1: Luminous Silk, it is an investment. But this is kind
Speaker 1: of like your special occasion foundation. Like if you're going
Speaker 1: to a wedding and you need your makeup to last
Speaker 1: all day from morning to night, this one will. And
Speaker 1: even performers or people that are going on stage, like
Speaker 1: this one is gonna last.
Speaker 2: Isn't this what you use?
Speaker 3: I wouldn't use this on stage. It's too beautiful to
Speaker 3: sweat off.
Speaker 1: Oh enough, I would use this for a wedding formal
Speaker 1: event or like if I am creating like a really
Speaker 1: beautiful makeup look for fun, whatever it is.
Speaker 3: If I want to look snatched, that's what I'm going
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 3: It's like, what are we doing?
Speaker 2: I know we love.
Speaker 1: Blush, but 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. Let me explain what it
Speaker 1: looks like first. Yeah, So, when blush kind of re
Speaker 1: emerged and took the whole bitty industry by, like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, just put them in a choke hold. Really,
Speaker 1: there was one particular blush and it was the door blush.
Speaker 3: It's a very beautiful.
Speaker 1: Lilac light pink tone and it kind of emulates like
Speaker 1: a baby doll.
Speaker 2: Blush.
Speaker 3: Really that became so popular. Everyone was using it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was when.
Speaker 1: 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 3: 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 transition.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to set under their eyes.
Speaker 1: Okay, there are products that you can get that without
Speaker 1: having to break up your own little palettes. Of course,
Speaker 1: now 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 the rest. Yeah, but it's very
Speaker 1: it's the rose undertone that's really fun.
Speaker 3: 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 3: 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. It does. I wouldn't personally, no, I know, clearly,
Speaker 1: but in terms of blushes that we're obsessed with right
Speaker 1: now that do blend beautifully into the skin if you
Speaker 1: want to get that look and that placement kind of
Speaker 1: higher up on the face. I have just fallen in
Speaker 1: love with a new blush. But it is pricey, guys,
Speaker 1: it's pricey. It is the Power blush from Gucci in
Speaker 1: the shade zero nine Intense Plum, also from David Jones.
Speaker 1: And it's eighty eight dollars, like dollars for a blush.
Speaker 2: Is oh yeah, but that's like a gift.
Speaker 3: It is. This is like special occasion present.
Speaker 2: Packaging is really beautiful. 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 3: Jesse immediately stole it off me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's always going to be taking like those really nice,
Speaker 1: almost plummish colors away from you because they look better
Speaker 1: on me.
Speaker 3: 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. So this last makeup trend that
Speaker 1: we hate, actually we don't agree on.
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: So if you don't know what it is, dominated brows
Speaker 1: kind of came around maybe.
Speaker 3: 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. It was like thirteen Yeah, soap brow
Speaker 1: They're the soap Brow Kit. It was like fourteen dollars
Speaker 1: and it's just it's like a paste that it was
Speaker 1: like a little pot of jelly, a pot of clan
Speaker 1: and you have to spray spray is setting spray in
Speaker 1: it and then you kind of stick your eyebrows down
Speaker 1: in place. And that was really good for me because personally,
Speaker 1: my eyebrows move around so much, like, yeah, they don't
Speaker 1: stay in the position I want them to with a normal.
Speaker 3: Eyebrow jel that's true for me.
Speaker 2: That works really well 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 3: Well, it does. It suits models like they look absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3: But I could never get a tiny face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my face is too small and it would be
Speaker 1: 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 3: 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. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they've just never grown back. So I wouldn't make permanent changes, Like, no,
Speaker 1: definitely not, but I ski I guess. But thin brows
Speaker 1: are kind of in right now too. I love thin
Speaker 1: brows on TikTok, like they look really cute. But it's
Speaker 1: just a filter too, Like it's not going to be
Speaker 1: in real life. It's not gonna look good in real life.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the thin.
Speaker 3: Brow filter I have?
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
Speaker 3: See, I think I will look good with that.
Speaker 2: You already have thin eyebrows. Why make them thinner? Well,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to.
Speaker 3: I mean sometimes I'm tempted.
Speaker 2: But you did it last time, and they're like, I
Speaker 2: accidentally plucked too much off.
Speaker 3: 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,
