Ariana Grande is one of the most well-known pop stars of our time and has been in the public eye since she was a teenager. So, naturally, she has been experimenting with any and all makeup trends that have surfaced over the years. In a recent TikTok video, the singer was seen going through some of her past makeup looks for her beauty line, R E M Beauty. She is seen talking to her old self as some heavy eyeliner is being applied.
The TikTok Video
In the video, the pop star is seen lip-syncing to a dialogue in which the old self begins by saying that she’s doing her homework and wants to talk about something! This old video is then interrupted by the singer’s current 29-year-old version saying, “Do you think your eyes are a little too smokey for every day?” The old self replies, “Yeah, I’m going through a phase.” “Is that OK with you?” The current version of the singer replies, “Sure,” because she knows that she will be growing out of it real soon. This video had the caption, “Me to old me, who wouldn’t dare be seen without a thick cat eye and an over drawn lip.”
A Message for the Fans
In addition to the video, the “7 Rings” singer also said that there are ways one can compliment each other, and if it’s not a compliment you want to give and instead you see something you don’t like, we can always choose to ignore it. We should help each work towards that collectively, making us safer from the outside world and from each other as well. She added that you never know what someone is going through, finishing with, “So even if you are coming from a loving place and a caring place, that person probably is working on it or has a support system they are working on it with.”
Greek Home Décor Trend Takes Over TikTok
The Greeks are coming home. Mostly, they’re coming to your home, wherever it may be. The latest trend to make rounds on TikTok and Instagram is sprucing up a place with Greek aesthetics. The ancient period was famous for its political, philosophical, and artistic achievements, but also for the art, the beauty, and sometimes the absolute weirdness that they got up to! TikTok, with its endless supply of content, is a hub for new trends to cement their places in the real world. So what if some influencer has decided to bring The Odyssey to their house? Bring out the busts of the Greek goddesses, the column side table, the risqué statues because it’s time to head back to the past. Here are some from circa 700 – 480 B.C to give your home a Greeky vibe!
Pantheon Dome Bookends
The Greeks have been a fan favorite for a lot of authors (here’s looking at you, Rick Riordan) and remained ever popular in the literary world. Give your books the Hellenistic treatment with some Pantheon Dome Bookends. Maybe add some books by Homer or Archimedes in the pile!
Venus De Milo Status Candle
These candles are just a little bit risqué but perfect for every party. The beautiful and exotic candles, modeled after the famous Venus De Milo, make any tabletop sophisticated, and are sure to be a conversation starter in any room!
Ancient Greek Gold White Wallpaper
The easiest way to pay homage to any era is to change your walls. Just slap on some Greek-inspired wallpaper, and you’re surrounded by Greeks all day long!
Medusa Metal Wall Décor
Oh Medusa, you with your snaky hair and stony eyes (insert evil laughter). Medusa might not make for the best dinner companion, but some Medusa Metal wall decor is sure to add spice and intrigue to your walls.
