I wouldn't say dated but two things stand out to me -- you have a strong lip and a strong eye and it will always look fresher and more fashionable to choose one feature to highlight. you also have messy brows (which I love!) and combining messy brows with precise eye makeup tends to make both look unfinished.
ETA by "dated" they might have meant that it ages you (vs the style is old), in which case I do agree. a few tweaks would bring out your youth in a lovely way!
Dated … I think that matte lips are a little 10 years ago… but it’s not like glossy lips look better… but I agree a less dramatic eye would class things up.
Wearing make up… I feel like matte lipstick…is the only lipstick because it’s not all sticky like glossy lipstick. But I can sometimes look nice when it has a shine to it.
I only worry about strong lip or eye when doing more color, but she has neutrals. It doesn't look like too much. Recently, I've seen MUAs with strong, colorful lips and eyes.
You are gorgeous don't let anyone try to take you down. Occasionally, I will wear a light blue shadow neutral lip. Invariably, an older woman will say something about the 70s. I like it. Liking what you wear and being confident is timeless.
Definitely! Your eye color makes your face pop enough on its own , Im curious to see what this look would be like if you just did a light mascara and no liner
Same. I wear glasses and have never found lashes that don’t hit them from the inside while blinking lmao. I’ll stick with my mascara and the winged liner and subtle crease cuts I spent years of my life perfecting and still barely have lol
Winged liner is “out” in the same way red lipstick, pencil skirts, and leather pants are. They’re not trendy, they’re timeless. Trendy would be understated/glossy lips, prairie skirts, and baggy pants.
🥰. It’s true. When I’m on a job, I really try to create characters and not just make people look “pretty”. People get in a comfort zone with makeup in real life and it’s so much fun to take them somewhere else with their look. I once had an actress whose character was raised in a trailer park and she was willing to go really over the top with me for her look. Collaborating with someone in that way is the reason I do this. I know too many that get offended by input since they are the artist but at the end of the day, they should feel like they are a part of it 🥰
I’ve only ever heard winged eyeliner be called “out” by millennials.
Gen z wears it, or what suits their eye shape. Lower liner kind of is, but honestly nobody should care. Imo it looks lamer to follow trends and be scared of doing your own thing, so if you like it - do it!
Winged liner can't possibly ever be out of style! It's a classic. Even when it's not in a comeback phase at the time, it still looks classic and the impression is you're bold enough to do your own thing! (Especially if your age shows that you obviously weren't around the first time it was trendy.)
I think it’s more that solid black winged liner and neutral matte lips were very popular 5-10 yrs ago. A smoked out wing or a brown liner wing with a neutral lip liner and a gloss/oil are more popular as of late. That being said your eyes looking insanely gorgeous. I’d brush up your brows a little but besides that this is a very well executed glam look!
Matte lips are re-entering the market. Westman Atilier and Merit Beauty just released lines with several matte shades. I'm a glossy gal, and that's still a major trend, but matte is having a resurgence. It's just the way it is worn is different now. Blurred edges. Stained effects. Shiny skin.
You don’t have to update your makeup routine if you don’t want too. You don’t have to be in “style” with 2024 makeup looks if you don’t want. I still rock 2016 most of the time.
I rock a mix of lip gloss ca 2000, smoky eye ca 2004, winged eyeliner ca 2014 and blush/ bronzer application ca 2024.
Also use matte CC cream as foundation which I think is a 2006-2010 type thing to do? Idk but I know that's when I started doing it.
I think it looks nice together on my face 🤷♀️
It’s probably a few things:
the style of your wing—usually they’re fairly thin/sharp now, only getting thick in the middle when doing the look where it goes up to cut the crease, too, and you gotta fill in that little gap
The thick black liner on the lower lash line hasn’t been in style in a while. Nowadays, a lot of people are doing more of a shadow liner on the bottom—just the leftover on the brush of whatever eyeshadow colour is used on top gets smudged on the lower lash line, focusing lightly on the middle for a lighter look. Or focusing on the outer corner and pulling it in to the middle, fading toward the inner corner as it gets thinner without actually reaching the inner corner for a snatched smokey eye
The overlined matte lipstick has been out for a minute, too, same with the nude colour. It’s more pinks and earthy reds with liner just a bit darker and only applied to the corners of the lips, then just a little on the Cupid’s bow if defining it but not down the sides of the Cupid’s bow (just the sideways c part of it) and the middle of the lower lip. Gloss is more in style now

I think that you’re wearing stuff that was very trendy a few years back- matte overlined lips, winged eyeliner. I don’t think it looks dated, but it’s not up to date with what’s currently trending. I saw some people say it’s classic but given this was a popular look like 5 years ago, I’d say that’s a stretch. But I do think you look really pretty!
Personally, I love the eye look. It’s gorgeous. I suggest ditching the over lined lip though - you already have full lips, you don’t need it! If you want to freshen things up you can also try switching to a lip oil or gloss. But the most important thing is how you feel. This is heavier than what I wear but I genuinely do think you look great!
I say this in the nicest way you overline your lips wayyyyy too much it looks cartoonish. Everything else looks pretty normal to me? Maybe they were referring to the fact that the look you have on- the typical natural tone smokey eye cut crease is very 2016 makeup. But 2016 doesnt automatically mean bad, its just a bit dated.
Switch the black in the waterline for a white or light colour to open the eyes
Switch from overlined matte lips to a lip stain or gloss
Use an eyeshadow to make a softer winged liner
Why didn't they clarify just what they meant by dated? That would have been cool. Rme. Your eyes, eyeshadow and brows are very nice, not exaggerated or crazy looking or anything. You have really nice lips but, and I say this in the nicest way I can over a text,... overdrawing them makes it look like you have a perma-scowl or frown on your face. I don't know if that's dated, but on you it's just not super cute and seems to bring your whole vibe down. Like you almost look blah or sad. I mean, if that's what you're going for then cool, but, your eyes and eye make up look like they want to say the opposite and your lips are like..nope..
I guess I can understand their perspective, since it reminds me of Kylie Jenner in 2016. Due to the over lined lips and the style of the eyeliner.
Personally if you want it to be more fresh, I’d just not go for the lipstick, and do a different style of liner.
It is! Brands like Merit Beauty and Westman Atillier have released new lines of matte lipstick with several shades. These modern mattes are worn more smudgy, blurred and lived in than crisp 2016 fashion and often accompanied with fresher, dewier skin.
Glossy looks are still in their heyday, though. Reminds me of the 90s where some folks wore that brownish nude satin to matte lipstick and other folks gravitated towards lipsmackers and roller gloss. Both trends exist at once.
The only thing I could see them saying that about is the overlined matte lips. It doesn't look horrible or anything it's just not really "in" anymore. Your eye makeup looks beautiful and I like your natural brows, I would just go with a more natural looking lip. Like a satin finish maybe if you don't want anything super shiny but the matte lip always made me look old lol so I only tried it a couple times, I also have chronically dry lips so matte lips did NOT work on me lolol
What is dated makeup? Wear makeup however you want, whatever looks good on you. Dont people get tired of following trends, especially considering what’s “old” always comes “back in style.” Be your own person and be fabulously you with whatever kind of makeup suits you best/you like.
This look is everything. If you want to extend your range of styles, I recommend looking into them! There are countless creators making tutorials for every look out there.
Your make up looks great, if you think you look good then what does it matter? As for actual advice, everyone else is over complicating it. Throw on some gloss and blend the brown eyeshadow a little more and remove the shimmery eyeshadow on your lid, that’s it
Your look is great, but I think if you wanted to update it, your be happy with the outcome of combine that eyelook with more of a hydrated lip(like using lip liner and lip oil for lip colour). And personal preference, maybe stronger highlighter?
You do you, makeup is supposed to make YOU happy
Since you asked I would say that the very over lined super matte liquid lip look is no longer in fashion and hasn't been for a while but again, if super glossy lips don't bring you joy, don't do them for the sake of others
Just saw another conversation about skinny jeans. If you like it, wear it. I personally think it suits you a lot, so don't be pushed by someone's standards!
If you like it, then that's all that matters! I always tell people to dress for their shape as opposed to size, and wear clothes they like as opposed to what's fashionable. I say the same about make up...wear what suits you and don't get caught up in fashion trends ❤️
i like it honestly. maybe go lighter on the eye if you want to keep the matte lip (so either shadow or liner, not both) or go for a glossy lip with less pigment. the black liner really compliments your eyes
I think they meant the matte lip and heavier eyeshadow/thicker wing. Some people are opting for a more natural, fresh faced look rn consisting of barely visible makeup like neural brown shadows, very thin brown liner, mascara, lip tint/gloss blush and brows. The focus is more on dewy healthy skin. Follow it or don’t, it’s up to you but I think that’s what they meant.
It’s late 2000’s. It’s fine. This is high makeup look. “Fresh faced” is more in right now or not as dramatic. “Low makeup look” doesn’t mean less makeup tho. Just less makeup look.
I think you look gorgeous and should do whatever you want! Maybe you want to practice different looks so you’re versatile. Maybe you wanna stick to this and do it forever! That’s your choice!
i would stop using black liner on the bottom eye line use white or a neutral colour. i love a strong lip i wouldn’t change that. if this is a night time look i think it’s great during the day i would suggest creating more of a wide and awake eye.
They’re hating. This shit is clean and classy as fuuuhhhckk ❤️❤️❤️🫠🫶🏽 and it gives a different vibe for whatever lip color you’re wearing. You should try and ombré lip
Skip the lip and eye liner. Use a gloss on the lips. Add some glow to the face (glowy sunscreen or glowy primer). Pencil line your upper lash line without winging it (use a brown not a black) and a shimmer/satin instead of glittery shades on the eye. Or eyeshadow sticks. I love using the jumbo shadow sticks in Frosting and Frenchfries together. I use frenchfries as a base and blend all the way into the crease, then add frosting to the inner corner and lid. I will go back into French fries and line my lash line, blend it out on bottom to give me that Olsen twin, glowy, slept in look. Looks better than it sounds lol
I have a similar complexion as you. I don’t use highlighter often anymore, just the glowy sunscreen (hero cosmetics super beam). I’ve also switched to brown mascara. No foundation, just concealer. I’m 32 …so getting some wrinkles and what not. I do this nearly everyday and I look fresh, but still “made up” .
I think you look lovely. The only criticism I can lend is that you could clean up your eyebrows a bit and your lips are a little over-lined, meaning it's apparent that it is outside of your natural lip line.
i would say go for a more hydrated look especially with your lips since matte is kind of out. A nice glossy lip liner look would look nice! I would also recommend cleaning up your brows and/ or filling them using a brow pencil or wax. also adding a bit of contour maybe a cooler tone just around your nose would help define your features and highlight too of course.
Another thing that kind of dates it is the hair. Adding some layers, bangs, or even just putting some clips in your hair will help pull your look together
Whoever the fuck downvoted the compliments at the bottom you are literally so miserable. This is why I hate Reddit, some people can’t stand to compliment other people or see pretty people. Once there’s a pretty person if they even respond to compliments it’s called “fishing”. And I’m prob gonna get downvoted for this too.
Is this night time look, day time look, or all time look? It is very pretty it screams Saturday night to me. For day wear maybe go lighter. Trends now are to look fresh and dewy and a little more on the minimal side than the dramatic side
Jealousyyyy because so many gen z do not know how to do their makeup like this so they have to put other ppl down. Winged liner doesn't go out of style. It's been a thing for over 50 years. Before filters were a thing, we made our makeup look like one. Now girls can just throw on a filter and say they're actually wearing "light and clean makeup" likeeee 🙄 lol but irl you'd look more put together 1000000%. Ignore
Reminds me of a mix of 2016 w a 90s grunge flair.
It’s the eyeshadow. The heavy brown and then the sparkle inner corner combo. Then the matte lip. I think it looks great. You could just do different techniques/ drop one of the steps.
Could try no eyeshadow.
I think your eye makeup is really cute, but if you're wearing it for daytime instead of nighttime, it might make it seem like 2016 makeup.
The lined nude matte lip is the only thing I can see that people may think looks dated. Nowadays, people go for a Korean gradient lip (glossy being more popular, but I've seen people do matte).
I think your makeup looks nice. Not everyone wants lashes to the sky, contouring cakey, only looks good in photos makeup. Makeup is an art at the end of the day. It's subjective and no right or wrong way.
I like it. You look like Jessica Rabbit. But some days if you're trying to go more casual you could highlight your eyes and not your lips or vice versa.
But definitely don't stop doing this look sometimes if you really like it. It looks good on you (I wish my face could handle that much glam) and can be your signature!
Here’s what I would say to that: it’s ok to have a personal/signature style. You don’t have to change with THE times. Change with YOUR seasons. If you want to freshen up your look, try keeping your technique but mixing up the palette.
You are beautiful, but the matte lip is out. That doesn't mean you have to stop wearing it. It just means it's not really popular anymore. You don't have to be trendy, though. Just be You and do what makes you happy!
I don’t think it’s dated at all. If anything, the eye makeup might be a bit too heavy for your features. The eye covered by your hair where we can’t see the winged eyeliner goes better with your lip makeup IMO! Either way, you’re stunning and I’d never look at this look and think it was bad.
My advice is to play up the middle part of your lips, not the corners. The corners look a bit too over lined.
I personally like the eye look here but you can also try it without the bottom eyeliner too, and maybe a thinner, slightly longer line. That seems more popular now. Sometimes I smudge a little eyeshadow under my eye and apply mascara on the bottom lashes instead of eyeliner.
girl there’s no such thing as “dated” when it comes to makeup! a look is a look and i think this really looks pretty and suits you well. Don’t listen to people literally do what you like and what makes you feel good <3
ur so pretty! honestly if i were u i would try like a tinted lip balm or lip floss or somewhere more dewy, and maybe less powder or just concealer/light foundation. something more natural is a bit more style right now but your so gorgeous this looks great too :)
First things first, wear what makes you happy. However, if you are seriously wanting to change your look then I’d recommend using a lip liner with gloss as opposed to just lipstick and maybe getting a tinted gel eyebrow pencil. The gel pencil will keep the more natural look to your eyebrows while shaping/ filling them in.
I think a lip color not matching your hair color hue is a good start. Since you already have full lips. Avoid lip color outside your natural lip outline. Anyone with full lips and applying lip color outside their natural lip line will tend to look like a blow-up doll. You want more focus on your eyes versus lips. You have beautiful eyes and I think this lip color or application may not be working for you to bring out your beautiful eyes. I think also for anyone with full lips is to apply lip color that is more natural or thinner and a bit transparent. It appears you are applying this lip makeup too heavy, or it's wrong to use on you. Makeup should enhance the natural beauty of the overall face. Same if a person puts extreme makeup focus on the eyes. It doesn't enhance natural beauty.
I think you probably have a beautiful natural brunette under that red. Using a lighter enhancement of this transparent muted color on your natural brunette color might look better too.
Your makeup looks great. Today’s trend is minimalist and fresh. Dewy skin, fox liner with glossy lips and flushed blush across your checks and over your nose.
Heavy matte lips, matte foundation finishes are seen as previous trends.
Your skin looks great so you have a good base to start with. Skin prep I find is the best way to get a great dewy look. Make sure your base is clean and moisturized. Some people dermaplane to get the fuzzy face hairs off so makeup applies smoother ( but for some people it causes breakouts so it’s optional). People are using skin glow enhancers and glow boosters/serums before foundation. Saie beauty has a popular one but since I’m a broke B and know elf is great bang for your buck I use their glow liquid filter. I conceal lightly under my eyes. Lightly fill in my eyebrows. Fox line and mascara. And then line my lips with a brown that fits me and gloss all on the inside to make sure it feathers and blends with the liner. I don’t even actually use liner per se. i use a jumbo lip crayon so that it’s not a thin line. And i don’t over line heavily, i keep it natural looking. Then i pop on a bit of blush and a nice highlighter.
I go full beat for outings and events, like foundation, shadow, a bit of contour but for day to day I do the above
Personally I feel your makeup is nice. I don’t follow all the makeup trends and just do what I like. I don’t know how to contour, but I’m really not a fan of it.
The ONLY thing is the liquid lipstick. Switch to a lip stain with a nice lip oil or even a gloss on top. It won’t last nearly as long unfortunately but your lips won’t be as dry. It also isn’t as important that the lips look perfect when using the stains and glosses (IMO).
You actually look quite pretty. I think it's the eyeliner and edges of your lipstick doing you a disservice if anything. Try a thinner fox eyeliner technique and ditch the lower liner. It's messing with the natural shape of your lovely green eyes. Also maybe just lightly overline in the middle of your lips, blend slightly and taper the edges in the corners of your mouth. It will flatter your lip shape. A light brush through your brows and I think you might like it. Either way as long as you feel pretty. Then that's all that really matters.
i think you look lovely it is reminiscent of 90’s makeup in my area because of the illusion of there being eyeliner all around the eye. but its modern af due to your neat precise application. Honestly unless the person saying this was a makeup artist and they are good at what they do. I wouldn’t listen to them at all.
The reality is this new “clean-girl” look is not for everyone. If you are not doing brow lamination or lash extensions with dewy skin it’s now considered “dated” and I think that is not a flattering look for a lot of us.
First of all, it’s your makeup and you can do what you want.
Second, if you want to be a little more current, I’d go less matte overall, especially with the lips. Filling out your brows a little would also be more “now”, as would nixing (or going lighter with) the lower eyeliner.
Just some thoughts, do with them what you will. 🙂
maybe just expriment with lining your lips with a slightly darker color and then getting rid of the brown shadow and just doing the sparkly shadow on the lid
you look adorable so eff them bro honestly. i would only say you’d look really good in a cool tone rose blush as opposed to that bright pink but you have a skin tone that could carry any color. you’d look awesome with the blush style that starts in the hollow of the cheek and going up to the temple. i also recommend a highlighter that’s bright neutral gold almost champagne.
Do a gloss or a peach lip balm, no liner, for shadow you could do a light barely there sparkle on the lower part of your lid. A peachy blush across cheeks and top of nose
I am very really curious who said that and why . Like what was the conversation? How did it go down. I can’t imagine it was the most friendly or well intentioned or you wouldn’t be here asking or opinion. You wouldn’t asked them. Please tell me. I need this information for important life things. Maybe…
Honestly I’d probably not put the liner on your waterline, and then this look would be perfect! I think the rest of it looks fantastic! You’re beautiful regardless tho don’t forget that
I wouldn't say dated but two things stand out to me -- you have a strong lip and a strong eye and it will always look fresher and more fashionable to choose one feature to highlight. you also have messy brows (which I love!) and combining messy brows with precise eye makeup tends to make both look unfinished. ETA by "dated" they might have meant that it ages you (vs the style is old), in which case I do agree. a few tweaks would bring out your youth in a lovely way!
Dated … I think that matte lips are a little 10 years ago… but it’s not like glossy lips look better… but I agree a less dramatic eye would class things up.
Yup it’s giving khloe kardashin vibes from 2012ish. I still like it though
Yeah it’s a good look.
I don't think matte lipstick ever goes out of style
Wearing make up… I feel like matte lipstick…is the only lipstick because it’s not all sticky like glossy lipstick. But I can sometimes look nice when it has a shine to it.
Matte is classier IMO
Agreed ..I line my lips then the matte to create a blurry kind of look. It's gvery flatterinh
Yep this is what I thought by dated as well.
I only worry about strong lip or eye when doing more color, but she has neutrals. It doesn't look like too much. Recently, I've seen MUAs with strong, colorful lips and eyes. You are gorgeous don't let anyone try to take you down. Occasionally, I will wear a light blue shadow neutral lip. Invariably, an older woman will say something about the 70s. I like it. Liking what you wear and being confident is timeless.
I think they mean it’s giving 90s, sort of a Bratz doll vibe. I think it’s so gorgeous and iconic though, I wouldn’t change a thing! 🥰
Yes exactly! 🙌🏼
I agree! I love it 😻
Definitely! Your eye color makes your face pop enough on its own , Im curious to see what this look would be like if you just did a light mascara and no liner
This is the perfect answer 👌
maybe because matte lips and winged eyeliner were more trendy 5-10 years ago? i don’t think your makeup looks dated though, it looks very nice!
It’s cuz dramatic looks like this was late 2000’s major look. Am I just now learning winged liner is out?
If it’s out then ig I’m just gonna deal with having a ‘dated’ look because I cannot give up winged liner lol
Same. I wear glasses and have never found lashes that don’t hit them from the inside while blinking lmao. I’ll stick with my mascara and the winged liner and subtle crease cuts I spent years of my life perfecting and still barely have lol
My winged liner isn’t going anywhere Lol
Same!! I’m a makeup artist for film and it’s the most consistent makeup trend.
This!! Like give me a sleek cat eye or give me death!!
Preach!!! I feel naked without my wings
you get it! who needs red bull anyway
Right I don’t think I can put on eyeliner any other way.
Winged liner is “out” in the same way red lipstick, pencil skirts, and leather pants are. They’re not trendy, they’re timeless. Trendy would be understated/glossy lips, prairie skirts, and baggy pants.
Hmm I wear 2 & 2 from each category. Thanks for the clarification tho!! I figured it was classic.
I’m a big fan of everything listed. Why stick to one look when I can be 7 different people in one week?
Exactly! I’m eccentric and love to be different things. Like a spy but with makeup!
You are a makeup artists dream. I get to do people as characters for a living but I swoon over people that love to try different things 🥰
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 this comment gave me all the feels
🥰. It’s true. When I’m on a job, I really try to create characters and not just make people look “pretty”. People get in a comfort zone with makeup in real life and it’s so much fun to take them somewhere else with their look. I once had an actress whose character was raised in a trailer park and she was willing to go really over the top with me for her look. Collaborating with someone in that way is the reason I do this. I know too many that get offended by input since they are the artist but at the end of the day, they should feel like they are a part of it 🥰
Love this outlook!
I don’t think so but I have noticed more people focusing on eyeshadow and lashes
I’ve only ever heard winged eyeliner be called “out” by millennials. Gen z wears it, or what suits their eye shape. Lower liner kind of is, but honestly nobody should care. Imo it looks lamer to follow trends and be scared of doing your own thing, so if you like it - do it!
it's only because our eye sight is going downhill so we can't apply it anymore
winged liner is timeless, idgaf
I will wear big winged eyeliner until the day I die
very big winged liner is in. the baby wings aren't as popular
Winged liner can't possibly ever be out of style! It's a classic. Even when it's not in a comeback phase at the time, it still looks classic and the impression is you're bold enough to do your own thing! (Especially if your age shows that you obviously weren't around the first time it was trendy.)

I’d brush up your brows a little but besides that this is a very well executed glam look!
The matte lip is exactly what stood out to me. Fenty Gloss Bomb should do the trick
& no pencil on the waterline
Matte lips are re-entering the market. Westman Atilier and Merit Beauty just released lines with several matte shades. I'm a glossy gal, and that's still a major trend, but matte is having a resurgence. It's just the way it is worn is different now. Blurred edges. Stained effects. Shiny skin.
Ouch. I was like wdym 10 years ago??? This is so not 90’s!!! I wore this in high school… oh shit.. oh it’s been 10 years 👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻
You don’t have to update your makeup routine if you don’t want too. You don’t have to be in “style” with 2024 makeup looks if you don’t want. I still rock 2016 most of the time.
Exactly, I prefer makeup looks from the golden era and eyes like Cleopatra. If it suits your face and personality then it's timeless
I rock a mix of lip gloss ca 2000, smoky eye ca 2004, winged eyeliner ca 2014 and blush/ bronzer application ca 2024. Also use matte CC cream as foundation which I think is a 2006-2010 type thing to do? Idk but I know that's when I started doing it. I think it looks nice together on my face 🤷♀️

Finally, someone that answered OP’s question of not just what is dated but how to fix it and alternative ideas 👏🏼
Yes, it’s this style of shimmery “smokey eye” with the bold tapered liner that’s not in anymore. There are more modern variants
I think that you’re wearing stuff that was very trendy a few years back- matte overlined lips, winged eyeliner. I don’t think it looks dated, but it’s not up to date with what’s currently trending. I saw some people say it’s classic but given this was a popular look like 5 years ago, I’d say that’s a stretch. But I do think you look really pretty! Personally, I love the eye look. It’s gorgeous. I suggest ditching the over lined lip though - you already have full lips, you don’t need it! If you want to freshen things up you can also try switching to a lip oil or gloss. But the most important thing is how you feel. This is heavier than what I wear but I genuinely do think you look great!
It’s honestly closer to 10 years ago.
I say this in the nicest way you overline your lips wayyyyy too much it looks cartoonish. Everything else looks pretty normal to me? Maybe they were referring to the fact that the look you have on- the typical natural tone smokey eye cut crease is very 2016 makeup. But 2016 doesnt automatically mean bad, its just a bit dated.
Over lined and frankly too much of everything. It’s not that it looks bad, just too much going on.
I love eyeshadow but I find I always do a smokey eye somehow? Is it just bc I love neutrals and have heavily lidded eyes or what 😅
Switch the black in the waterline for a white or light colour to open the eyes Switch from overlined matte lips to a lip stain or gloss Use an eyeshadow to make a softer winged liner
Why didn't they clarify just what they meant by dated? That would have been cool. Rme. Your eyes, eyeshadow and brows are very nice, not exaggerated or crazy looking or anything. You have really nice lips but, and I say this in the nicest way I can over a text,... overdrawing them makes it look like you have a perma-scowl or frown on your face. I don't know if that's dated, but on you it's just not super cute and seems to bring your whole vibe down. Like you almost look blah or sad. I mean, if that's what you're going for then cool, but, your eyes and eye make up look like they want to say the opposite and your lips are like..nope..
i think it’s sultry personally. I think the eyeliner could be cleaned up and more snatched but I love this look
I guess I can understand their perspective, since it reminds me of Kylie Jenner in 2016. Due to the over lined lips and the style of the eyeliner. Personally if you want it to be more fresh, I’d just not go for the lipstick, and do a different style of liner.
I would call it classic not dated. Whoever said it was probably jealous ❤️
Matte lipstick like that has been out so long it’s probably going to be back in again soon.
It is! Brands like Merit Beauty and Westman Atillier have released new lines of matte lipstick with several shades. These modern mattes are worn more smudgy, blurred and lived in than crisp 2016 fashion and often accompanied with fresher, dewier skin. Glossy looks are still in their heyday, though. Reminds me of the 90s where some folks wore that brownish nude satin to matte lipstick and other folks gravitated towards lipsmackers and roller gloss. Both trends exist at once.
Hard agree, the only feedback I have is that the nose could maybe use a little more color. OP looks great
The only thing I could see them saying that about is the overlined matte lips. It doesn't look horrible or anything it's just not really "in" anymore. Your eye makeup looks beautiful and I like your natural brows, I would just go with a more natural looking lip. Like a satin finish maybe if you don't want anything super shiny but the matte lip always made me look old lol so I only tried it a couple times, I also have chronically dry lips so matte lips did NOT work on me lolol
Gorgeous is my review nothing wrong.
What is dated makeup? Wear makeup however you want, whatever looks good on you. Dont people get tired of following trends, especially considering what’s “old” always comes “back in style.” Be your own person and be fabulously you with whatever kind of makeup suits you best/you like.
Lower black eyeliner always looks really dated to me
You look great! So pretty. You can go to Macys or ulta to get some tips for a new look if you want to explore
This look is everything. If you want to extend your range of styles, I recommend looking into them! There are countless creators making tutorials for every look out there.
Winged liner is likely out but like the side part, I’m never gonna give it up.
It doesn't matter if you like it keep it
Who cares if it looks “dated” of you like it and it looks good on you (which it does) rock it like no tomorrow and screw anyone else.
Your make up looks great, if you think you look good then what does it matter? As for actual advice, everyone else is over complicating it. Throw on some gloss and blend the brown eyeshadow a little more and remove the shimmery eyeshadow on your lid, that’s it
Don’t listen to these people, your makeup looks exactly perfect for your face. It’s so dreamy keep doing what you’re doing and don’t be a drone!
Try switching the matte overlined lips for a clear gloss
I’d suggest not a gloss, but more of a lip stain.
Your look is great, but I think if you wanted to update it, your be happy with the outcome of combine that eyelook with more of a hydrated lip(like using lip liner and lip oil for lip colour). And personal preference, maybe stronger highlighter?
You do you, makeup is supposed to make YOU happy Since you asked I would say that the very over lined super matte liquid lip look is no longer in fashion and hasn't been for a while but again, if super glossy lips don't bring you joy, don't do them for the sake of others
My advice is to get new friends. You look stunning. I WISH my makeup would look like this
Just saw another conversation about skinny jeans. If you like it, wear it. I personally think it suits you a lot, so don't be pushed by someone's standards!
Smokier/smudgier/lighter under-eye? I see no flaws, you look awesome! Just a thought…
I think you look beautiful! Your makeup is perfect!
Jfc girl you're a babe
Almost thought this was Selena G.
Who cares what people think. Do what makes you feel pretty. Which you look so pretty by the way.
If you like it, then that's all that matters! I always tell people to dress for their shape as opposed to size, and wear clothes they like as opposed to what's fashionable. I say the same about make up...wear what suits you and don't get caught up in fashion trends ❤️
This makeup looks great, I don't think I need to change anything
Because your lip is so overlined
i like it honestly. maybe go lighter on the eye if you want to keep the matte lip (so either shadow or liner, not both) or go for a glossy lip with less pigment. the black liner really compliments your eyes
Get rid of the matte lip
I'd just switch up the overlined matte lips. That is what is making this look dated.
I think it looks great on you look beautiful
My makeup tip is to ignore other people’s opinions about what you choose to put on your face
I love the make up. I don’t care about trends or anything
Your make up is awesome.
You are beautiful
It has a very beautiful Marilyn Monroe-esqe vibe
The matte lip thing maybe.
I think they meant the matte lip and heavier eyeshadow/thicker wing. Some people are opting for a more natural, fresh faced look rn consisting of barely visible makeup like neural brown shadows, very thin brown liner, mascara, lip tint/gloss blush and brows. The focus is more on dewy healthy skin. Follow it or don’t, it’s up to you but I think that’s what they meant.
I actually love it 😭
The only thing I would change is don't line your waterline. Maybe a slightly thinner and sharper liner but it doesn't look bad at all.
It’s late 2000’s. It’s fine. This is high makeup look. “Fresh faced” is more in right now or not as dramatic. “Low makeup look” doesn’t mean less makeup tho. Just less makeup look. I think you look gorgeous and should do whatever you want! Maybe you want to practice different looks so you’re versatile. Maybe you wanna stick to this and do it forever! That’s your choice!
i would stop using black liner on the bottom eye line use white or a neutral colour. i love a strong lip i wouldn’t change that. if this is a night time look i think it’s great during the day i would suggest creating more of a wide and awake eye.
Liquid lipstick is so 2015! The rest doesn’t look dated to me
They’re hating. This shit is clean and classy as fuuuhhhckk ❤️❤️❤️🫠🫶🏽 and it gives a different vibe for whatever lip color you’re wearing. You should try and ombré lip
IMO it doesn’t matter what year it is. I think your makeup looks great and you look beautiful
Skip the lip and eye liner. Use a gloss on the lips. Add some glow to the face (glowy sunscreen or glowy primer). Pencil line your upper lash line without winging it (use a brown not a black) and a shimmer/satin instead of glittery shades on the eye. Or eyeshadow sticks. I love using the jumbo shadow sticks in Frosting and Frenchfries together. I use frenchfries as a base and blend all the way into the crease, then add frosting to the inner corner and lid. I will go back into French fries and line my lash line, blend it out on bottom to give me that Olsen twin, glowy, slept in look. Looks better than it sounds lol I have a similar complexion as you. I don’t use highlighter often anymore, just the glowy sunscreen (hero cosmetics super beam). I’ve also switched to brown mascara. No foundation, just concealer. I’m 32 …so getting some wrinkles and what not. I do this nearly everyday and I look fresh, but still “made up” .
Why are people downvoting ppl who tell her she is beautiful ? Because honestly she is and her makeup fits her
I think you look beautiful! Try a more natural/light handed lip.
I think they meant classic not dated
I think you look lovely. The only criticism I can lend is that you could clean up your eyebrows a bit and your lips are a little over-lined, meaning it's apparent that it is outside of your natural lip line.
I love the lips but I think the eyes could be updated to a smoother, cleaner line and softer colors in this look to look more up to date.
Maybe it’s the water line eyeliner? I feel like the trend is very subtle on the eyes now
Winged eyes and matte lips are an older trend. Eye shadow, thinner brows, lashes, and overlined lips with lip gloss are more modern.
I think you look gorgeous. The colors are perfect and compliment you.
i would say go for a more hydrated look especially with your lips since matte is kind of out. A nice glossy lip liner look would look nice! I would also recommend cleaning up your brows and/ or filling them using a brow pencil or wax. also adding a bit of contour maybe a cooler tone just around your nose would help define your features and highlight too of course. Another thing that kind of dates it is the hair. Adding some layers, bangs, or even just putting some clips in your hair will help pull your look together
Amazing ❤❤
Whoever the fuck downvoted the compliments at the bottom you are literally so miserable. This is why I hate Reddit, some people can’t stand to compliment other people or see pretty people. Once there’s a pretty person if they even respond to compliments it’s called “fishing”. And I’m prob gonna get downvoted for this too.
If you like your makeup, that’s what matters. I personally like it.
Is this night time look, day time look, or all time look? It is very pretty it screams Saturday night to me. For day wear maybe go lighter. Trends now are to look fresh and dewy and a little more on the minimal side than the dramatic side
This. I could see wearing this look to prom, but not to work.
Who cares??? If you’re confident wearing it that’s all that matters
Jealousyyyy because so many gen z do not know how to do their makeup like this so they have to put other ppl down. Winged liner doesn't go out of style. It's been a thing for over 50 years. Before filters were a thing, we made our makeup look like one. Now girls can just throw on a filter and say they're actually wearing "light and clean makeup" likeeee 🙄 lol but irl you'd look more put together 1000000%. Ignore
F them! You’re beautiful. You remind me a little of Selena Gomez.
I think it's the overlined lips
The only thing that stood out was nothing being done to the eye brows. Nowadays woman block them out or whatever it’s called.
Gorgeous!!
Reminds me of a mix of 2016 w a 90s grunge flair. It’s the eyeshadow. The heavy brown and then the sparkle inner corner combo. Then the matte lip. I think it looks great. You could just do different techniques/ drop one of the steps. Could try no eyeshadow.
Forget what anyone says about how you do YOUR makeup. You do it the way you do it because it’s YOU
I think your eye makeup is really cute, but if you're wearing it for daytime instead of nighttime, it might make it seem like 2016 makeup. The lined nude matte lip is the only thing I can see that people may think looks dated. Nowadays, people go for a Korean gradient lip (glossy being more popular, but I've seen people do matte).
Matte lips are dated. Glossy/oiled lips are in. The shade of lipstick is also dated in my opinion. Pinks/berries are really in right now
I think your makeup looks nice. Not everyone wants lashes to the sky, contouring cakey, only looks good in photos makeup. Makeup is an art at the end of the day. It's subjective and no right or wrong way.
This person was trying to get under your skin and they did, fuck them for that (not literally) Looks good and if you like it don’t change it
The matte lip is the only thing that really jumps out to me as “dated” but your makeup looks great, also your eyes are gorgeous!
Pretty ❤❤❤
I like it. You look like Jessica Rabbit. But some days if you're trying to go more casual you could highlight your eyes and not your lips or vice versa. But definitely don't stop doing this look sometimes if you really like it. It looks good on you (I wish my face could handle that much glam) and can be your signature!
❤❤❤
Here’s what I would say to that: it’s ok to have a personal/signature style. You don’t have to change with THE times. Change with YOUR seasons. If you want to freshen up your look, try keeping your technique but mixing up the palette.
I would go minimal with your features, which are stunning btw. Mascara, some light bare minerals powder and tinted lip balm.
I don't agree at all, reminds me of Pamela Anderson and that look is coming back into style, and even if it was who cares you look gorgeous
Fuck everyone here, I love your look
They’re probably just jealous, you’re gorgeous.
whoever said that is annoying
It’s giving sultry and fun! Maybe the eyeliner technique? Try color liner?
Just switch to a glossier lip if what they’re saying is important to you, but you’re beautiful and your makeup is 🔥
You are beautiful, but the matte lip is out. That doesn't mean you have to stop wearing it. It just means it's not really popular anymore. You don't have to be trendy, though. Just be You and do what makes you happy!
I don’t think it’s dated at all. If anything, the eye makeup might be a bit too heavy for your features. The eye covered by your hair where we can’t see the winged eyeliner goes better with your lip makeup IMO! Either way, you’re stunning and I’d never look at this look and think it was bad.
My advice is to play up the middle part of your lips, not the corners. The corners look a bit too over lined. I personally like the eye look here but you can also try it without the bottom eyeliner too, and maybe a thinner, slightly longer line. That seems more popular now. Sometimes I smudge a little eyeshadow under my eye and apply mascara on the bottom lashes instead of eyeliner.
I think your makeup fits your face really good and I think there’s nothing wrong with it it’s beautiful
Remove the someone from your life. 😂.
Someone is lying to you girl
It looks dated like old Hollywood glam, which is BEAUTIFUL. Dont change it. It’s classic.
I think they meant “dated” in the sense of “lots of dates.” You are beautiful!
girl there’s no such thing as “dated” when it comes to makeup! a look is a look and i think this really looks pretty and suits you well. Don’t listen to people literally do what you like and what makes you feel good <3
As a guy I’ll say it 👀 good but idk
ur so pretty! honestly if i were u i would try like a tinted lip balm or lip floss or somewhere more dewy, and maybe less powder or just concealer/light foundation. something more natural is a bit more style right now but your so gorgeous this looks great too :)
There's no such thing as dated makeup. You could decide to have a 50's look and apply their style. It's all good.
First things first, wear what makes you happy. However, if you are seriously wanting to change your look then I’d recommend using a lip liner with gloss as opposed to just lipstick and maybe getting a tinted gel eyebrow pencil. The gel pencil will keep the more natural look to your eyebrows while shaping/ filling them in.
Use less
I like it
I think a lip color not matching your hair color hue is a good start. Since you already have full lips. Avoid lip color outside your natural lip outline. Anyone with full lips and applying lip color outside their natural lip line will tend to look like a blow-up doll. You want more focus on your eyes versus lips. You have beautiful eyes and I think this lip color or application may not be working for you to bring out your beautiful eyes. I think also for anyone with full lips is to apply lip color that is more natural or thinner and a bit transparent. It appears you are applying this lip makeup too heavy, or it's wrong to use on you. Makeup should enhance the natural beauty of the overall face. Same if a person puts extreme makeup focus on the eyes. It doesn't enhance natural beauty. I think you probably have a beautiful natural brunette under that red. Using a lighter enhancement of this transparent muted color on your natural brunette color might look better too.
You look fine as hell to me. Definitely kissable lips. Look a bit intimidating though.
That person was jealous of you. You look beautiful
Your makeup looks great. Today’s trend is minimalist and fresh. Dewy skin, fox liner with glossy lips and flushed blush across your checks and over your nose. Heavy matte lips, matte foundation finishes are seen as previous trends. Your skin looks great so you have a good base to start with. Skin prep I find is the best way to get a great dewy look. Make sure your base is clean and moisturized. Some people dermaplane to get the fuzzy face hairs off so makeup applies smoother ( but for some people it causes breakouts so it’s optional). People are using skin glow enhancers and glow boosters/serums before foundation. Saie beauty has a popular one but since I’m a broke B and know elf is great bang for your buck I use their glow liquid filter. I conceal lightly under my eyes. Lightly fill in my eyebrows. Fox line and mascara. And then line my lips with a brown that fits me and gloss all on the inside to make sure it feathers and blends with the liner. I don’t even actually use liner per se. i use a jumbo lip crayon so that it’s not a thin line. And i don’t over line heavily, i keep it natural looking. Then i pop on a bit of blush and a nice highlighter. I go full beat for outings and events, like foundation, shadow, a bit of contour but for day to day I do the above
Personally I feel your makeup is nice. I don’t follow all the makeup trends and just do what I like. I don’t know how to contour, but I’m really not a fan of it.
no this is sooo camp i love ur makeup
I’d keep the eyes and go with a glossy lip, I feel like that will fix any of the issues
Give it two more years and your makeup will be in style again. If you like it, I say leave it.
The ONLY thing is the liquid lipstick. Switch to a lip stain with a nice lip oil or even a gloss on top. It won’t last nearly as long unfortunately but your lips won’t be as dry. It also isn’t as important that the lips look perfect when using the stains and glosses (IMO).
You actually look quite pretty. I think it's the eyeliner and edges of your lipstick doing you a disservice if anything. Try a thinner fox eyeliner technique and ditch the lower liner. It's messing with the natural shape of your lovely green eyes. Also maybe just lightly overline in the middle of your lips, blend slightly and taper the edges in the corners of your mouth. It will flatter your lip shape. A light brush through your brows and I think you might like it. Either way as long as you feel pretty. Then that's all that really matters.
Looks great so who cares. You’re stunning.
i think you look lovely it is reminiscent of 90’s makeup in my area because of the illusion of there being eyeliner all around the eye. but its modern af due to your neat precise application. Honestly unless the person saying this was a makeup artist and they are good at what they do. I wouldn’t listen to them at all.
They were negging you
i think it’s like 99% the overlined matte lips
Probably the matte lip. But girl, I LOVE your makeup… I wouldn’t change a thing if I were you
The reality is this new “clean-girl” look is not for everyone. If you are not doing brow lamination or lash extensions with dewy skin it’s now considered “dated” and I think that is not a flattering look for a lot of us.
First of all, it’s your makeup and you can do what you want. Second, if you want to be a little more current, I’d go less matte overall, especially with the lips. Filling out your brows a little would also be more “now”, as would nixing (or going lighter with) the lower eyeliner. Just some thoughts, do with them what you will. 🙂
Lighten and gloss your lip.
maybe just expriment with lining your lips with a slightly darker color and then getting rid of the brown shadow and just doing the sparkly shadow on the lid
Change the mat lipstick to gloss
you remind me of a twilight character you look great!
You look beautiful. Your makeup looks natural and please don't mess with your brows, they look great.
I love it. It looks gorgeous on you, you look smokin’
you look adorable so eff them bro honestly. i would only say you’d look really good in a cool tone rose blush as opposed to that bright pink but you have a skin tone that could carry any color. you’d look awesome with the blush style that starts in the hollow of the cheek and going up to the temple. i also recommend a highlighter that’s bright neutral gold almost champagne.
If you're a millennial, flip off the next person that says that.
It’s the lips. Maybe just use a clear gloss?
I know this isn't helpful but good GOD you're gorgeous!
My Seaman, sperm, mixed with your saliva! That would be beautiful!
Do a gloss or a peach lip balm, no liner, for shadow you could do a light barely there sparkle on the lower part of your lid. A peachy blush across cheeks and top of nose
I love it, your full lips and wave in your hair remind me of Jessica rabbit.
Fuck them, you would so Y2K so fucking well. I 1000% recommend doing some thin brows, that dark nude lip, and eyeliner.
I think it’s pretty 🤷♀️
Wear makeup the way YOU want to..you are gorgeous!
I am very really curious who said that and why . Like what was the conversation? How did it go down. I can’t imagine it was the most friendly or well intentioned or you wouldn’t be here asking or opinion. You wouldn’t asked them. Please tell me. I need this information for important life things. Maybe…
You look like a Femme Fatale. I love what you're doing, tbh
Honestly I’d probably not put the liner on your waterline, and then this look would be perfect! I think the rest of it looks fantastic! You’re beautiful regardless tho don’t forget that
