The desire to improve her appearance has been natural for a woman at all times. Fashion dictated the rules of the game. A couple of centuries ago, whitewash on the face and extremely narrow corsets were popular, in the middle of the last century - eyebrow strings and perm. Some trends in the field of beauty, relevant 10-15 years ago, are now puzzling. Experts told NEWS.ru which cosmetic procedures are hopelessly outdated.
Eyebrow tattoo
“Brezhnev could not even imagine how popular his eyebrows would be at the beginning of the XXI century” - a popular joke from the Internet. It contains some truth. In the early 2010s, many girls decided that their eyebrows were not full and thick enough. Beauticians came to the rescue with a service - permanent tattooing.

The eyebrows looked like two logs above the eyes. The face with them became as if artificial. Especially such a decision looked strange on typically Slavic faces with soft features.
The main trend of 2020 is naturalness, says the stylist. Even if the eyebrows on the face do not grow at all, there are procedures that can create the most natural effect. For example, you can use the "powdery tattoo" service. Eyebrows made by this method look natural and do not evoke associations with the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee.
Shaved whiskey
A couple of years ago, social media feeds were filled with girls with shaved temples. Even the most feminine ladies ventured into such experiments. Sometimes, with the help of a typewriter, images appeared on the temples - a flower, a wave or a Chinese character.
Stylist Vlad Lisovets called such hairstyles “outdated”. They do not add originality to the image, but only make it coarser.
Shaved whiskey has never really been in vogue. Such a decision was not met at the shows of leading couturiers. It's just that someone once made such a hairstyle for themselves and it became popular. Now the trend is medium hair length and neat haircuts, - said Lisovets.
Long nails and eyelashes
Long nails with bright manicure are a fashion trend 15 years ago. It looked especially "luxurious" then in combination with the longest extended eyelashes and a plentiful tan. In 2020, everything hypertrophied and deliberate was declared obsolete.

Now everything that made a doll out of a person looks inappropriate. Breast or gluteal implants that are oversized also fall into this category. Any procedures are best done without fanaticism.
As the beautician said, in order to be in trend, it is better to prefer nails of medium length and neutral shades. And when extending eyelashes, choose a short length so that they do not look like a foreign element.
Perfect white teeth
In professional slang, perfectly white teeth are called "toilet bowl in the mouth." In the early 2010s, teeth the color of polished plumbing was the main attribute of a successful person. To achieve this effect, many put so-called veneers. These are thin ceramic, porcelain or composite plates that are attached to the outer surface of the teeth.
Now this trend has sunk into oblivion. It is fashionable to have a natural enamel color with a light colorless edge. The main thing is that the teeth are healthy and look harmonious in combination with a specific appearance, - said Alexandra Gont.
Too well-groomed appearance
After 30 years, the skin condition begins to deteriorate. There is a natural decrease in the level of hyaluronic acid, as well as the production of collagen and elastin. In pursuit of youth, women resort to the services of cosmetologists. Injections with hyaluronic acid, fillers, botox are used.
The abuse of these procedures is always noticeable. "Doll" face without a single flaw looks out of date and strange, make-up stylist Oksana Nikulina is sure. In addition, the abundance of injections leads to unpleasant consequences, others may suspect a woman of being addicted to alcoholic beverages.

The main side effect of hyaluronic acid injections is facial swelling. The explanation is simple - this substance retains fluid in the tissues to moisturize the skin. "Reverse side of the coin" - puffiness of the face
