Beauty Series #8: Beauty Trends

Trends may keep fashion fresh, but in beauty, they can blur the line between timeless and temporary. Dr. Bass explains how beauty trends start—often with influencers, media cycles, and celebrity culture—and why chasing them can lead to results that age poorly or feel inauthentic. While makeup and hairstyles are easy to change, surgery isn't, and following what's "in" one year can leave you regretting it the next. Instead, he encourages a more thoughtful approach: recognize what's classic, understand your personal sense of beauty, and make choices that reflect you, not the crowd. Because while trends fade, harmony and authenticity never go out of style. About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator. Industry veteran.
