Hated Makeup Trends From A Bunny Who Can’t Contour

As you can tell from the title of this, I am in no way qualified to give makeup advice. I own a shit ton of makeup but I’m not very good at actually using it. I can rock a mean red lip but that’s about it. This, however, does not stop me from having a lot of opinions on makeup. Of course, if you feel like you look great wearing any of these, then fuck me. You own it. But I’m still going to voice my opinion because this is my blog and I can. Beware: I might get a little too passionate about some of these.

1. Fake Freckles

As someone will actual freckles, this whole fake freckle trend has me a little baffled. I’ve had freckles for ever and most of the time I just find them annoying. It’s either cover them all up or don’t wear any foundation because faded freckles look weird. I deal with this shit all the time. So when I started seeing people on Instagram posting photos where they obviously gave themselves freckles, I had a lot of things to say. First off, fake freckles look sooooo fake. Real freckles do not go just across your nose in a cute little pattern. They’re fucking everywhere. They don’t look like the cute ones in cartoons. Sometimes mine make me look like I have a mustache. Not even kidding. Secondly, freckles are a very specific color. I’ve seen some people doing fake freckles with black eyeliner. NO. Freckles are usually a light brown or a reddish color. Doing your fake freckles in black just makes them more obviously fake. Some could be a dark brown, but they aren’t black. The weirdest thing about this trend is that I know some people who are doing it have real freckles. Just show those off! Don’t even try to draw your own. Don’t do it.

2. All the Weird Eyebrows

A few trends fall into this category. I’m pretty on board with the filled-in, shaped eyebrows that are the most popular. You know the ones that are way more rectangular than normal but everyone likes them? Yeah, I’m cool with those. But there are two I’m not okay with. The first are those feathery eyebrows that seem to show up every once in awhile. I really don’t get the appeal of these. Maybe if you are a bird it’d be cool to have feather-like eyebrows, but you probably aren’t a bird (unless you’re Birb). They look like you sneezed while combing out your eyebrows and accidentally went up with some of it. Huge dislike from me. The other one is more recent: the new wavy eyebrows. Hooooo boy. I straight up do not get these. They look like ghost tails, like your eyebrows are trying to do their best Danny Phantom impression. I like the sharp eyebrow look because they’re sharp and look fantastic paired up with winged eyeliner that could cut you. Do you need to pair these with wiggly eyeliner? Because I don’t think I would like that either. Try to at least keep your eyebrows a natural-ish shape. And beware of over-plucking.

3. Unmatched Foundation

So there was this girl in one of my classes at college who always looked orange. At least her face did. Every single day, no matter the season or how tan she was, she would always have this orange foundation on. And it looked absolutely terrible. I’m not sure why she thought it looked good but she must have. Or just ended up really committed to the look and couldn’t part with it. This is something that I see a lot of: people wearing foundation that is just way too dark compared to the rest of their body. It’s very prominent on Kylie Jenner in some of her photos. I don’t know why people do this. If the goal is to make yourself look tanner, maybe make sure to also cover your neck or at least blend it down so the cut off isn’t so harsh. If you really don’t notice that it’s darker, go to a makeup store and get them to check your foundation color. Seriously. It makes you look like you stuck just your face into a tanning booth and just decided to forget about the rest of it. It’s just not a good look for anyone.

4. Glitter Tongues

This trend is really new. It just started showing up on Instagram. I’m not sure if it really counts as a makeup trend but I’m not sure how else you would classify it so I’ll rant about it here. I don’t quite get the point of the glitter tongue. I know that right now people will put glitter anywhere they can (go look up those vagina glitter bombs). And I’m not really a huge fan of glitter anyway, but that’s mostly because I hate how hard it is to get off and how it spreads like the plague. But I get that people want to sparkle and shit. That’s dope. Do that. However, I draw the line at glitter tongues. What’s the point in it? Doesn’t it just go away as soon as you close your mouth? Is it all for the #aesthetic? Is it even healthy? I don’t feel like it could be good for you to ingest that much glitter. There’s no way to stop yourself from swallowing some of the glitter immediately when you close your mouth. It just can’t be good for you. Unless you buy edible glitter and that is a lot to do just for a weird Instagram picture. If you’re someone who really wants to do this for your Instagram photos, I’d first encourage you not to but if you’re deadset on it just make sure you don’t die for the art.

I know for some of these I came off as a little harsh, but I have a lot of opinions and this is the best place to rant. I obviously don’t know much about makeup. I just want people to be a little more conscious about what they do to their face. I want all of you to look your best. And if your best is doing some of this stuff then just fucking do it and ignore this random blogging bitch.
