Beauty Trends
09 October 2017
We know that faaarshun can sometimes err on the weird side of things (remember when Bjork wore what looked like a dead swan to the Oscars?), but when it comes to beauty, weâre far less tolerant about the bizarre trends that weâve been seeing across the âgram lately.
From barbed wire brows to vagina nails (yes, you read that correctly), check out some of the most ridic trends weâve seen so far – and letâs just pray that we donât see these abominations hit the mainstream anytime soon (or ever, tbh).

Itâs pretty funny, weâll give âem that, but we dunno how this would go down if someone tried to rock this look in an everyday sitch.

Glitter is messy AF. Youâll probs be finding random flecks of glitter in your shower for years to come after trying this shit.

Remember that book âEmily Eyefingerâ about a girl named Emily who had eye on her finger? Yeah. Thatâs what this reminds me of.

We already stress enough about our face and hair looking on-point, now we have to worry about our ears too? Smh.

Itâs supposed to make it look like your makeup has rubbed off while sucking on a lollipop (why tho?), but it doesnât look trendy, it just makes you look like a hot mess.

If youâre all about rocking that body hair then more power to you, but things start getting a bit OTT when youâre dyeing your pits blue.

Poor eyebrows, theyâve really born the brunt of these weird trends in 2017, havenât they? Plus, these squiggle brows just look like youâve tried to fill them in after ten too many Proseccos.

Apparently, the âjust woke up after a rager of a night and want to vom/dieâ look was doing the rounds in parts of Asia, âcos thereâs nothing cuter than looking bloated, puffy and severely dehydrated. But hey, at least my Sunday morning look is hot somewhere.
Several YouTubers – including Jenna Marbles – took on the challenge of chucking on 100 layers of foundation, lipstick, highlighter and fake eyelashes. And as expected, the results were nightmare-inducing.
Cool if you dig looking like you’ve got some mutant strain of chickenpox, but otherwise, not so much…
