What are some beauty trends from the past few years that you’ve tried?

It’s crazy to me how beauty trends are constantly evolving and changing, and how our tastes for these trends are changing!

For example, I remember when accent nails first hit the scene and I thought it was a little weird to have one nail in a different color, but eventually I came to like it and rock it all the time. Was this 2013 or 2014?

Anyway, now, years later, I prefer to have a more traditional mani with just one color all over my fingers. No more accent nails for me (for now, at least).

A few other trends over the past few years that I’ve tried, in no particular order…

• Bold eyebrows – I even went through an intense phase where I did an intricate routine with sculpted brows, OMG!
• Nose sculpting – I did this for a while and loved how it looked in the pictures, but then stopped doing it when I felt like I *had* to do it every day just to get out of the house. I think feeling like I needed to correct the shape of my nose made me realize there was something wrong with my features, and I didn’t think that was mentally healthy for me in the long run. So I stopped.
• Exposed lips Again, I love how this looked in the pictures. But in real life, I think it might have looked like I couldn’t tell where my true lip line was. very funny! At the time I thought it was cute.
• Intense bronzer – Oh man, I wore a lot circa 2014!

What about you? What are some beauty trends you’ve experimented with in the past few years? Do you still love them?
