If the beauty industry is to be believed, we’re entering a new era of self-acceptance.⁠ ⁠ People are doing away with full-cover foundation, contouring and heavy eyeshadow in favour of more ‘off-duty’ looks, such as “status skin”, “no make-up make-up”, “clean girl make-up” and “five-minute face”. There’s also been a rise in people dissolving their filler in pursuit of a more natural look.⁠ ⁠ This might sound like a step in the right direction, but the idea that people have been freed from the shackles of oppressive beauty standards thanks to ‘clean girl make-up’ and the like should raise suspicion. As writer @thatadult pointed out, what we’re really seeing is a new set of demands on women, and the prizing of “biological capital” above all else.⁠ ⁠ The rise in ‘natural beauty’ therefore hasn’t been about using less products, but ones which carry different promises.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read more 🔗⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @daisyschofield⁠ 📸 @donnatrope, Dazed and Confused (1995)⁠ ⁠ #DazedBeauty

Exclusive: @georgiamayjagger just announced her new skincare brand, May Botanicals 🍃⁠ ⁠ Ahead of the launch, we caught up with the model and designer to talk all things May Botanicals, which will include a cleanser, moisturiser, spot cream, balm and sheet mask — all of which are dermatologically tested products made from ethically sourced, natural ingredients.⁠ ⁠ "Having this skincare routine is so important because I feel like over the years I have had such disassociation with myself and my image.... I think that having my feet a bit more on the ground and knowing what I really want to do moving forward and feeling very supported here and in that work environment has made me feel a lot more secure."⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio as we discuss everything from her earliest encounter with beauty to how she hopes the brand will evolve in the future 🔗⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @tishweinstock⁠ 📸 Courtesy of @maybotanicals ⁠ #dazedbeauty

There’s something compelling about watching people transform 🌹⁠ ⁠ Whether you tagged your photos with #ThrowbackThursday and #FlashbackFriday or recreated old childhood pictures with your now-grown siblings, the internet has always encouraged us to reminisce about how we used to look.⁠ ⁠ If you’re TikTok, you’ve probably come across the yearbook challenge. It’s when people post high-school yearbook photos of themselves and their friends and then flash forward to them in the present day, usually at a wedding, ten-year or even 20-year reunion – to “Spirits” by The Strumbellas. These videos garner likes and views in their millions, proving just how obsessed we are not only with nostalgia and physical transformation but with the passage of time.⁠ ⁠ A lot of varied emotions can come from watching people age, like admiration, joy, curiosity and impermanence. However, nostalgia is one of the most powerful things we feel when we see people transform over time. Our younger selves often hold a strong sense of nostalgia.⁠ ⁠ If thinking about a younger version of yourself makes you weak in the knees, rest assured TikTok has a whole catalogue of people who insist on sharing their glow-ups to satisfy your craving.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read more 🔗⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @kleighmation⁠ 📸 TikTok⁠ ⁠ #DazedBeauty⁠

Take a peek at @tchalamet in a short film for the official release of the Bleu de Chanel campaign, directed my Martin Scorsese.⁠ ⁠ For Chalamet, getting to work with such a legend of the industry, particularly one so intimately connected to his hometown, was a dream come true. “It’s one of the highest honours, if not the highest honour of my career, to get to work with Martin Scorsese in New York,” he says in the short documentary. “I’m a New York boy, I’m a New York actor, I’m checking something huge off the personal bucket list.”⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to see more 🔗⁠ ⁠ #DazedBeauty

How often have you thought, “I have no idea what I look like to other people”?⁠ ⁠ Almost everyone is used to seeing their face through phone and laptop cameras, filters or mirrors, all of which present a reversed image to the beholder – but that isn’t how the rest of the world sees you.⁠ ⁠ On TikTok, the proliferation of the viral "inverted filter" and a contraption called the True Mirror has caused millions of people to question what they really look like. Both the filter and True Mirror vertically flip someone’s image to reveal a perspective they rarely see: how they look to others.⁠ ⁠ Many who have used the filter and mirror filmed their reactions. Some people cried, others were completely disgusted, and most people compiled a list of asymmetries in their faces. Many plastic surgeons and aestheticians are now marketing facial balancing procedures that bring symmetry to the face, with some people admitting that the inverted filter drove them to get injectables.⁠ ⁠ John Walter, the inventor of the True Mirror, thinks that his invention is the solution to breaking this vicious cycle. Similar to the inverted filter, the True Mirror flips a person’s image to reveal how they’re seen by others. Walter posits that because a regular mirror reverses our image, we never get to see our real selves or make real eye contact – “right eye to right eye, left eye to left eye” – which subsequently feeds our brain “faulty information”. With the True Mirror, he says, we can communicate with our eyes and brain properly. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read more 🔗⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @kardashianrising⁠ ⁠ #DazedBeauty

In an age of toxic positivity, we’re increasingly being drawn to bad smells and fragrances that help us access the darker recesses of our psyche.⁠ ⁠ In the past, plenty of “feel-good fragrances” alluded to the emotional benefits of perfume through soppy campaigns of girls frolicking in flower fields. But now, a host of avant-garde perfumers are challenging the misconception that mood-focused perfumes need only be associated with positivity. ⁠ ⁠ The practice of delving into our “shadow self”, a term coined by psychoanalyst Carl Jung to describe the parts of our personalities we tend to hide or repress, has gained significant traction in recent years. ⁠ ⁠ With fragrance offering a complimentary sensory dimension to shadow work, brands are increasingly tapping into this sentiment, positioning perfumes as tools to assist with tapping into the power of perfumes that don't just attract, but repel. ⁠ ⁠ Some perfumers tap into disgust to trigger visceral physical responses, while others celebrate vice, danger and subversion. “To a certain extent, we are all freaks, and perfumes just let us unveil that usually hidden layer” — @ordxx⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read more 🔗⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @_lilyruby⁠ 📸Ron Galella Collection @gettyimages⁠ ⁠ #DazedBeauty⁠
