Although fashion, and therefore the beauty industry as a whole, is cyclical, when it comes to trends, some decisions from the past still seem extremely ridiculous and even ugly to us. Recall Soviet beauty habits suggests Rambler.
Eyebrow strings
In the Soviet film "Office Romance," Verochka, Kalugina's secretary, openly scolds her boss for incorrectly shaped eyebrows. According to all the canons of the then beauty, they should be the strictest subtle and accurate. Today, such lines are not just condemned, but even prohibited, because if you just start pulling out all your eyebrows so frankly, you will never be able to grow them again. As a result - hundreds and thousands of women who tried to make a tattoo in place of plucked voids. However, you must admit that it still looks very ridiculous and ugly!
Blue shadows
And why only all the girls, regardless of their color type and personal preferences, painted their eyelids with such an unnatural and noticeable color as blue? Probably there were no other palettes in the USSR! Nevertheless, a massive attempt to stand out from the crowd and look more beautiful today would look the most ridiculous. Just imagine that you came with a colleague to work with such eye makeup. And on the same day!

Voluminous hairstyles with a pile
Excessively massive styling was very loved by our mothers and grandmothers. And where did they just take such a powerful styling to keep the hairstyle? Today, of course, the engine of all trends in the hair is the maximum naturalness. That is why even an excessive amount of lacquer, which turns the hairstyle into a “dead” one, is today condemned.
Bright blush
Then the shelves in the stores with cosmetics are not laden with a variety of shades and textures for the perfect makeup. Today we are able to make a real picture of our face that even filters will not be needed, but a few decades ago, the girls painted the brightest blush possible. Maybe they were noticed by men faster?
