Why Your Face Is Suddenly Out of Style

Kava Haven: All the Buzz, None of the Booze — get 15% off your first order at http://kavahaven.com/ljatruth Why does it suddenly feel like your face is… out of style? One moment, you’re “in.” The next, the same features, the same makeup, the same routine feel strangely outdated. Beauty trends now move so fast that real faces can’t keep up—and this video is about why that isn’t a coincidence. In this cinematic video essay, we explore the unsettling truth behind modern beauty trend cycles: how algorithms accelerate aesthetics, how old beauty ideals are endlessly repackaged as “new,” and how the cosmetic industry quietly profits from making women feel perpetually behind. From clean girl minimalism and latte makeup to filler reversals and invented flaws, this is a deeper look at how beauty shifted from something slow and ritualistic into something performative, public, and constantly expiring. This isn’t an anti-beauty video. It’s a reflection on how beauty became tied to relevance, how femininity became something to keep up with, and why so many women now feel like they’re always catching up to an aesthetic they never chose. It’s about the emotional toll of trend acceleration—and the quiet ways it reshapes how we see ourselves. More than anything, this video is an invitation to pause. To question what we’re being sold. To ask whether beauty really needs to move this fast—and what it might feel like if it stopped chasing trends and started reflecting you. If this resonated, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. And if you enjoy cinematic essays on femininity, culture, and aesthetic history, consider subscribing.
