Nowadays, makeup trends are a little bit less distinct. It's not that nothing new is emerging; rather, it's just that we’ve fallen in love with the looks of past eras. Even while there are current eco-friendly beauty trends, such as glazed skin and face jewels, there's something about the previous beauty trends that we just can't ignore.
