Certain fashion and beauty trends are recycled by every generation: for example, A-line and pleated skirts, as well as cat eyes. In the past six months, however, several cosmetic companies and the media have presented techniques that have actually existed for quite a few years as innovations, and in fact, you have probably already tried them. Of course, we understand that advertising is necessary, and that's the only way to get most women to reach deep into their wallets, but somehow it all smells like a scam. That's why The Gloss has collected four well-established techniques that will surely give you déjà vu.

Night face mask=Night cream

The night mask is nothing more than a concentrated cream or gel, which is sold in a tube or box and has such positive effects as deep hydration. It's also very easy to use: after applying the serums/anti-inflammatory creams that you use regularly, you put on the mask, which works in all the goodness nicely - at least that's what the marketing text promises. It's no wonder that almost all Western brands have launched at least one version, which is really nothing more than a boosted moisturizer. The "sleeping mask" somehow sounds good, moreover, it can fill a market niche for face masks, and most women feel the results are much more effective if they apply a mask before bed instead of a plain moisturizing cream.

The similarity between the night face mask and the night cream is greater than you might think

Babylights=Natural highlight

Babylights, the latest hair trend, became cool in December instead of ombre, and the net is already full of related tutorials. As the name already suggests, the technique will in principle make your hair color as "radiant" as a baby's, but in fact it means that the hair is dyed meticulously, in small sections. Kim Kardashian's stylist, Jen Atkin, said: "I've actually been doing hairstyles like this my whole career, and now it has a name." Yes, which can also be matched by sombré, i.e. light ombre, also known as natural highlight.

Contour=Eye shadow

They have been swearing by the concept of the eye contour for years, but the fact that the foundation that contains the contour tip guarantees high sales rates can also play a big role in this. Face contouring, for example, is at its peak right now - thanks mainly to Kim Kardashian - this technique means highlighting the mouth and eye area with different shades of products. However, it's good to keep in mind that playing with different eyeshadows can also be considered contouring, as the English name "eyeshadow" already reflects. How exactly does it work? Apply the color you would like to conceal on the eyelashes, the darker eye shadow towards the center of the eye, and the highlighter to the bone under the brow bone, and the contour is ready!

'Strobing'=Contouring

'Strobing' is the latest make-up craze, and don't be alarmed if you haven't heard of it yet, because it's unlikely that you'll be incorporating it into your daily routine in the future. Strobing makes one's face look a bit like it has been dipped in oil, because instead of a foundation, the technique requires make-up products that are somewhat shiny/glittery. We have no idea who would want to look as if they have applied several layers of moisturizer to their face, but in any case, there is something about the highlighter technique in the classic sense, says Alex Box. According to the master make-up artist of the 2015 Issey Miyake presentation, strobing is the brainchild of the media, because in practice it is about highlighting and 're-tailoring' the face with different pigments and textures, just like during the traditional contouring technique. Again, this is not the same as the highlight technique they do on Kim Kardashian's face, it is somewhere at the very top of the contouring scale. Anyway, it's worth trying if you want to have some fun, YouTube is full of tutorial videos, and it works with any skin tone, there is no mandatory use of color, you just need some kind of shimmery makeup product.
