The way our society relates information to us in regard to up and coming beauty trends or trends that are now outdated, it should make us wonder why we all don’t look the same! Truth be told, there are so many different kinds of beauty trends out there, it’s impossible to keep up with them all, let alone sport them all. There isn’t a woman on earth who has the financial resources or the time for this impossible mission



Magazines continuously offer front cover glances at what kind of beauty trends are currently in style, making it easy for everyone to pick up on. A quick look through the shelf tells you big, Hollywood-style glasses are in and lace is out again. Magazines also offer articles within them that explain different kinds of trends and how to transform oneself from one “trendy” look to the next.

The fact that these beauty trends are usually first spotted on television or in newspapers and magazines first should give you enough clues that it probably isn’t your nameless neighbor who created the latest trend. If you are wondering who really does come up with them you certainly don’t have to look too far to find the answer. Yes, it is the top companies in the industry trying to market their products that make the current beauty trends flourish or flop. They practice demand manipulation all the time. Cosmetic companies realize that women want to refresh their look from time-to-time so they introduce new product lines each season and make it seem as if you will die without their new toys. Don’t forget to include the clothing industry in this thought, because they come up with many beauty trends as well.

One thing about beauty trends is that some of them never go away. They’re called classic, timeless styles. Let’s face it, we all know that society thinks of thin women as beautiful, and if you are not thin you are certainly not part of that trend which never seems to end. Of course, beauty trends like these have been known to be superficial and it all has to do with personal taste and preference. It is the beauty trends like what color make-up to wear during certain times of the year that continually change and grow. Beauty trends such as not wearing pink one year but it being all the rage the next year is what keeps the beauty industry alive and kicking.

So the next time you read how pink lipstick is the color to wear this summer, remember that there are still many other colors that will look good on you. Don’t stomp out of the house and rush to the nearest store only to buy the pink that you always know to be unsuitable for you. Trust your instincts, stay true to your own sense of style and you’ll never again have to wonder what they next big beauty trend will be.
