In three days, we will enter the New Year together!
I don't know how many treasures are like sheep, and there is a "sense of time black hole" in the summary at the end of each year, which is as if it was a world away, and as close as yesterday.
At the end of each year, there will be an annual aesthetic report of the sheep to accompany everyone, and it will not fall every year.

"Slack Flattening" and "Refined Millimeterization" under the Definition of the Network
1. Flattening
After the long-standing old money style and sense of luxury died down, everyone gradually saw through the essence of high-end, and for many ordinary people, it was more like an "ugly person" fig leaf with great decoration and imagination.
Describe the levitation of nothingness
People who are downcast are more able to escape freely and return to a more peaceful and truly beautiful sense of life.

Perhaps the newly born sense of casual freedom is still inseparable from the "modeling personality", but whether it is natural or acquired captivity, independent relaxation or passive play, at least broadens the boundaries of aesthetic style.

Including but not limited to giving all celebrities P "more beautiful"
Gradually, it has become a part of the mainstream aesthetic rolling forward/backwards, forcing more treasures who want to be beautiful to walk on the edge of fear that they will be self-defeating, and to root more time and energy in the minutiae.
Not to mention that long-term aesthetics make way for short-term benefits, ignoring whether the aesthetic logic behind it conforms to the laws of nature and its own conditions, pursuing the beauty of details to maximize the sense of volume, and also stepping on the accelerator for this car that can't brake suddenly.

Not long ago, Yang also saw an interview with a former calculus of a small book platform on the Internet, which basically said that the content we saw was the result of the platform being screened and fueled.
And all the aesthetic expressions that appear on the homepage and push to you are carefully calculated by them.

When the trend of pursuing a high nose bridge and a small pointed nose has passed, and the low mountain root/fleshy nose has become a new trend, it is natural to feel beautiful when you see too much.

2024 The Evolution of Aesthetics
Whether it is intense, fiery, with the ecstasy of stretching outward, or the calm and restrained adduction, we can see that this year's aesthetic trend is spiraling forward under the combined effect of such awkwardness at first glance and reasonable consideration.
In the new year, where will the popular aesthetic trend go?
1. Saving ruined aesthetics?
From appearance to dressing style, we discussed the "aesthetic downgrade" for most of the year, and in fact, the formation of this public opinion environment itself is an aesthetic resonance.
The empathy for beauty is universal
The more people who resonate and the wider the radiation range, the more room for improvement and progress.
Guo-style aesthetics use a lot of money to pile up grand and beautiful, but it is gloomy.
The just-released "Flowers" was ridiculed as "The Age of Flowers in a Small Era", which is also a sign that the public is no longer convinced by authoritative aesthetics.

Beauty without knowing it is really overrated, and even sheep feel that making people ignore their own beauty is also a kind of "mental manipulation" on a certain level.
Under this domestication, the inherent danger of the burning woman is weakened, and the fragile fragility of the delicate woman is diluted to achieve the solidification of beauty.
Having complete control over one's own beauty, ignoring those insignificant gazes, and refining a true body that cannot be penetrated by verbal evaluation, is a more powerful thing than beauty itself.
There are so many indicators of beauty, it is impossible to find the golden ratio and standard answers to measure and judge, and it is also a rapidly changing imagination that cannot be anchored somewhere according to the rules.
I hope that in the new year, everyone can get rid of the one-sided description of beauty and ugliness, and no longer blindly and anxiously "pretend" themselves, just to stuff into the shell of a defined "beauty".
