2017 was rich in beauty expression. Some fashion trends are firmly entrenched in positions, others, we hope, will sink into oblivion and will not return to us in 2018. I would like to let go of wavy eyebrows and all the wavy theme in makeup, leave behind the effect of kissed lips and artificial freckles, an abundance of glitter and bubble nails.
Of course, not only in 2017, people went all out, trying to keep up with fashion trends and keep up with the times. World beauty history keeps many strange trends that, fortunately, have not survived to our times, and let's hope that they will never be resurrected.
In the Middle Ages, despite the lack of gloss and the Internet, the public also sought to keep abreast of fashion trends that corresponded to the spirit of their time. Therefore, in the Middle Ages, women of fashion without exception shaved off forehead hair and plucked eyebrowsto get closer to the ideal of female beauty.
Mona Lisa, by the way, also fell victim to the fashion of the Middle Ages, so in the painting by Leonardo da Vinci, the Gioconda has no eyebrows and hair on the upper part of the forehead.

The pursuit of deliberate baldness slowly but surely faded into the background, leaving behind paintings by artists with shaved young ladies with bleached faces. Pale skin - another fashionable leap of history, a sign of aristocracy and a real lady. In the Middle Ages, ladies drank vinegar to give the skin a white hue, and in the Renaissance, they abundantly sprinkled themselves with powder. This tendency turned out to be quite persistent and did not want to let the young ladies go from high society.
In the novel by Margaret Mitchell "Gone with the Wind", and this, for a second, is already the 19th century, the main character Scarlett O'Hara, under the guidance of her maid Mamushka, who always knew what a true lady needed, carefully protected her skin from interacting with the sun's rays, trying to preserve its natural pallor.

In Japan, pale skin is still considered a sign of beauty and a must-have makeup attribute for Japanese geishas. But, in Japan, there were rebels who seek to turn all ideas about the usual ideals upside down. So, in the nineties the culture of "Ganguro" was born, which destroys stereotypes about Japanese women by its mere appearance.
Ganguro's main symptoms are dark tan and blonde hair. And we are so used to seeing pretty Japanese girls with glossy black haircuts and porcelain skin!
Until Charles Leshman invented nail polish in 1932, the world of manicure was also shaking well from all sorts of trends and innovations. In the days of the pharaoh, alas, the manicure profession was not as safe as it is now, and if the master of the nail service managed to achieve unprecedented heights at the court and he became the personal manicurist of the pharaoh, then he also went on his last journey with his ruler. Indeed, after all, in the afterlife, the services of the master will be more useful than ever, so that everyone around them understands that it was the royal person who illuminated the underworld with her appearance. By the color of the nails, by the way, they determined what class a person belongs to..
Nobles could afford to paint their nails in bright shades, while ordinary citizens wore only pale colors.
In ancient China, nail decorations were preferred, so girls wore special gold and silver tips on their fingers. But here, too, there were oddities and fanaticism. As soon as the lady lost the tip, she was immediately branded with shame. After all, it was believed that the more ancient the jewelry, the more worthy its owner.
During the heyday of cinema and the golden age of Hollywood, there was another strange trend, the forerunner of modern nail extension techniques. Strange, because some women deliberately grew long nails to be trimmed and sold later. Thus, earning for themselves, perhaps, start-up capital to conquer the main film factory in the world, these ladies served as suppliers of nails for already established Hollywood stars. It is known that actresses pasted cut-off nails on their fingersto increase yours, less long and stronger.
