Something I notice comparing pictures, how the makeup is less notable in newest entries of Star Trek.
I have the feeling Deep Space Nine was the peak of makeup effects, like nowdays is a lost art.

Almost everything about TV makup has changed since then.
Those looks in the 80s & 90s were designed for SD broadcast on CRT televisions. Today’s 4K HDR TVs are substantially better in every way. You don’t need to push the makup as far for it to look good.
Also tastes have changed. In the 80s and 90s bold colorful looks were much more common and popular. Today, not so much. The trend is for natural looking makup. Shows and movies reflect the tastes of their time.
So yah, TV character makup has changed a lot over the last 35 years.
For good or for bad?
Well that’s a stylistic choice. It doesn’t matter really, does it?
Eh, you’re not wrong but OP also picked a bad example.
