A lot of modern makeup styles are more about creating a dramatic visage than a youthful one. Youthful (teen) faces look more rounded than faces well into adulthood.
Makes sense. I know modern styles partly descend from drag, particularly the use of contouring. And yeah more angular looks can make one appear thinner, which seems to be part of the goal.
Tbh I really like that the trend of makeup has been moving from “look young” towards “look striking”, and only partly because I personally prefer to wear a bold eye and dark lip combo

1920’s makeup was the opposite. Every body was trying to be round.
