13 Beauty Trends to Ditch in 2016

Sure, everyone looks nice with accentuated cheekbones, but a light swoosh of bronzer should do the trick. Save the face paint for Halloween. (photo: Instagram)

Full Cara Delevigne-esque brows were at the top of everyone’s beauty wish list this year with brow transplants and growth serums on the rise. But those badly drawn-in Burt from Sesame Street brows are not OK. Same goes for the creepy ombre brows that look airbrushed. (photo: Getty Images)

This trend is gross and also potentially dangerous. Grab your lip plumper and step away from the shot glass. (photo: Instagram)

Like flower crowns, the Coachella beauty moment has become played out. While temporary tattoos are better than real ones you may soon regret, you may also be embarrassed to have hopped on the gold fake tatts trend. (photo: Instagram)

This haircut is highly stylized and realistically only looks great on about 10% of the population. Instead of trying to fit in, find a style that flatters your hair and face shape. It’s time for this fad to disappear to the land of tragic banished styles like bowl cuts, fauxhawks, and bleached tips. (photo: Instagram)

The instant internet sensation of round, rainbow nail beds thankfully seems to have vanished as quickly as it arrived. But we’re declaring this a Beauty Don’t in writing just in case. (photo: Instagram)

One-size-fits-all corsets may be endorsed by the Kardashians, but that doesn’t mean they’re safe. Want toned abs? Get thee to a gym. You’ll feel great (yay endorphins) and your organs won’t hate you. (photo: Instagram)

A little shimmer high on the cheekbones or in the inner corner of your eyes looks great… but remember when it was called highlighting? When it comes to sparkle, remember that less is more. (photo: Capitol)

We’re all guilty of using a flattering Instagram filter, but your friends know what you look like in person. Using a retouching app doesn’t fool anyone. Leave the Photoshop use for the stars, and avoid resembling those overly airbrushed ads, magazine covers, and movie posters you yourself have likely mocked. (photo: Instagram)

If you want to shave, wax, laser, or ignore your underarm hair that’s your prerogative. But when Miley Cyrus spawned a trend of brightly dyed armpit hair it was hard to ignore. (photo: Instagram)

Aside from making it impossible to type, fasten buttons, or apply makeup, it’s time for those long talons to get clipped into more natural shapes. Apparently Adele and Rihanna (whose hands are pictured above) are the only people who can make it work. (photo: Instagram)

When Groupon sold thousands of detachable man buns last month, we crossed our fingers that they were for gag gifts and not for serious use. Sure, women wear clip-on bangs, but there’s something so absurd about guys wearing a faux bun. Props to the dedicated dudes actually growing out their hair to achieve the look made popular by men like David Beckham and Jared Leto. (photo: Groupon)

Sure the ‘90s are back, but Vanilla Ice’s signature look should have never returned. These shaved slits have popped up on male celebs from time to time (like Souja Boy, pictured above), but fashion influencer and designer Alexander Wang showcased the eyebrow cuts on his runway this past September. Let’s nip this trend in the bud before it’s too late. (photo: Getty Images)
