In the ever-evolving realm of beauty and fashion, distinguishing between what’s real and what’s simply outlandish has become increasingly difficult. With countless self-styled influencers on social media declaring new “trends,” it’s a whirlwind of bizarre ideas. These days, I can barely find the time to shower, let alone experiment with makeup or elaborate hairstyles. If you find yourself in a similar boat, you’ll likely feel relieved that you can bypass these absurd beauty fads.
Here are ten of the most peculiar beauty trends that emerged in 2017:
- Faux Freckles
Imagine the freckles you’ve wished to conceal suddenly becoming the hottest trend. This is the case with faux freckles, which have taken a colorful twist with options in vibrant hues and metallic finishes. There are even semi-permanent freckle tattoos—what could possibly go wrong? - Feather Brows
Feather brows resemble the aftermath of a restless night; they look like the result of someone challenging the concept of “caterpillar eyebrows.” This trend makes brows appear as if they’ve been styled by a clumsy bird. - Squiggle Brows
This trend leaves one wondering if the eyebrows have been transformed into an abstract art piece, resembling something more akin to a doodle than a refined look. - Squiggle Lips
Squiggle lips take the art of lip makeup to a confusing level, resembling designs from a Day of the Dead celebration. If your goal is to have lips that look like they were painted during a bumpy car ride, this is the trend for you—though it’s probably not interview-appropriate. - Lollipop Lips
Lollipop lips involve deliberately smudging lipstick beyond the lip line, giving a carefree vibe. I can’t help but feel like I may have unintentionally inspired this trend—next, we’ll see lipstick stains on teeth as the next big thing. - Geode Lips
Why settle for soft, inviting lips when you can create a look that resembles jagged stones? Geode lips might be visually striking, but they also raise the question of how functional they truly are—eating could become quite the challenge. - Glitter Roots
Glitter, often considered a nuisance, has found its way into hair roots as a trendy statement. While it may look festive, the thought of removing it later is daunting. - Unicorn Nails
These whimsical nails look like they belong to a cartoon character, blending colors and designs that could easily be mistaken for a child’s art project. - Neon Eyeliner
Bright, neon eyeliner is a bold throwback that pairs well with 80s-inspired attire. For those feeling nostalgic, this look is a vibrant nod to past fashion. - Terrarium Eyeshadow
This playful trend gives the illusion of nature trapped on your eyelids. It’s an imaginative look that may confuse those who are unsure if you’re sporting a new trend or if you’ve experienced a mishap outdoors.
Next time you ponder over your lack of time for makeup or hair, remember that avoiding these trends might just be a hidden blessing—sometimes, less truly is more.
