    The beauty trends of today might raise a few eyebrows in the very near future.

    The viral fads of today might be tomorrow’s biggest regrets, if “ eyebrow blindness ” is any indication.

    That term has been used by TikTokkers in recent weeks to express remorse for flaunting fuller brows that were on trend in the 2010s.

    The mortified content creators claim they blindly followed what was in style without realizing that they were actually committing an egregious beauty blunder that didn’t suit their face.

    Now, the humorous online trend begs the question: What is fashionable today that will be a faux pas years from now?

    Beauty gurus are already placing their bets.

    Eyelash extensions, for one, seem to now be a dying breed after years of dense lash lines reigning supreme in the beauty space.

    Paul Labrecque, the creative director and master stylist and colorist at his namesake salon and spa in Manhattan, likens the spindly black lashes to “spiders on your eyelids,” he told New Beauty .

    And not only do they seem unsightly, but celebrity makeup artist and aesthetician D’Andre Michael warned that they could result in “irritation, swelling, infection to your eyelids or corneas and even temporary to permanent loss of your lashes.”

    Bleached brows also soared to popularity on social media in recent years after a slew of celebrities — like “it” girls Julia Fox and Gabriette Bechtel — dyed theirs platinum.

    “If not executed properly, bleaching eyebrows can lead to chemical burns, hair loss, skin damage and dry, brittle hairs,” cautioned Michael, who is also not a fan of potentially damaging DIY skincare trends like microblading and contouring with sunscreen.

    The harsh chemicals used to bleach brows could damage the skin the prevent the growth of new hairs, Labrecque noted, a problem that over-pluckers of the ’90s and early aughts are all too familiar with.

    Experts also warned against the permanent style trends that alter the body, such as buccal fat removal , which reduces fullness in the cheeks. While Dr. Robert Singer, a plastic surgeon based in California, believes the procedure can be a good fit for the “right patient,” it can make the face look too hollow.

    “However, those who do it excessively, without full cheeks, risk an overdone appearance,” he said.

    Similarly, those who exaggerate physical attributes by way of surgery and implants run the risk of regret should they want to look more natural in the future.

    Some women have already begun the journey of dissolving their filler or removing implants, including celebrities like Bhad Bhabie , Blac Chyna and Olivia Culpo .

    “We’re likely to witness procedures popularized by online influencers, trends like excessively large lips or contours, see a return to more natural aesthetics in the future,” Singer added. “I think that there are going to be patients down the road who are sorry they did that.”

    Microbladed makeup, too, comes with the same risk. Feathered brows or lip blushing are among the more popular cosmetic ink trends as of late, but Lacrecque warns that it can fade “to a dull color” and may not “allow you to change with the trends” because of its permanence.

    “I am not a fan of this,” he added.

    In order for your personal look to stay en-vogue without completely botching your appearance, celebrity makeup artist Tim Quinn, who is also the Halo42 co-founder and CEO, recommends using fleeting fads as a guideline, not a hard and fast rule.

    “Use trends as a seasoning, not the main dish,” he advised.
