We talk a lot about beauty, but not enough about what shapes it.
Trends.
They can inspire us, connect us, and give us ideas to explore. But they can also quietly lead us away from what makes us feel like ourselves.
In this episode of the All or Nothing Podcast, I’m talking about why we follow them, how they influence our choices, and what happens when we stop questioning whether they truly serve us.
WHEN BEAUTY BECOMES A TREND
In cosmetic medicine, trends move fast. One year it’s fuller lips. The next it’s sharp jawlines or contoured cheeks. Social media and celebrity culture have blurred the line between individuality and imitation - and it’s easy to lose sight of what really suits you.
Sometimes we follow trends because they feel exciting. But sometimes, without realising it, we start to drift from our natural beauty in the process.
THE LINK BETWEEN TRENDS AND SELF-WORTH
This conversation connects deeply to self-worth. When you feel grounded in who you are, trends can be fun and inspiring. When you don’t, they can become a way to fill something that feels missing.
But beauty doesn’t need to be rushed. Confidence grows when you learn to appreciate what’s already yours.
THE “PICTURE-PERFECT” TRAP
In a world of filters and photo edits, perfection has become the goal. But real faces move. They express. They live. And that’s what makes them beautiful.
FINDING YOUR BALANCE
Every face has a point where it looks its best - natural, balanced, and authentic. Knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing where to start. That’s something I talk about often, finding your aesthetic end point and protecting it.
GROWING YOUR OWN ROOTS
When you nurture who you are on the inside, you grow beautifully in your own direction. Trends will come and go, but your sense of self doesn’t have to.
Because true beauty isn’t about keeping up. It’s about knowing who you are and staying rooted there.
