I miss the Morrowind flame atronachs :(
So, like neon tubes, I guess. Tron and Cyberpunk aesthetic... Cybertron?
I mean... the fifth element has gotten some things right. A billionare is fucking shit up, we know opera sounds dope with a heavy beat, our cars talk to us.
Why not the makeup application?
Multipass!
Chicken good!
Fair play, we did also find out that those powders might have been slowly poisoning people to death.
If it was whitening lead, yeah. But you can have rouge from red ochre, literally dirt, aka egyptian earth.
It can be the same pigment as with modern makeup just without the oils as a glue. Perhaps it wouldn't even cause pimples.

Cushion foundations and blushes are a big thing now, and gel and cream formulas for many products have been popular for quite a while now too.
From the mid 00's to the late 10's in the west, the matte aesthetic was fashionable when it came to makeup, so everything from skin to eyeshadows and lipsticks was matte.

Is this why people look shiny now?
Bingo
