They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we refuse to believe anyone finds these strange beauty trends appealing.

Too Much Jaw

A natural jawline is fine, but some guys go overboard with their insta-editing, making them look cartoonish.

Giant Eyebrows

A decade ago, everyone needed thin eyebrows, and now everyone’s throwing on giant, bushy, fake ones. Can’t we all agree to have natural eyebrows?

Tattooed Eyebrows

Tattooed eyebrows are even worse than giant eyebrows. You’re kind of stuck with them when fads change.

Puffy Lips

People go so far as to inject filler into their lips to maintain that obnoxious, puffed-up look. We don’t understand it.

Emotionless

The botox craze has thousands of rich women injecting stuff into their faces so they turn into emotionless goblins.

Glow-in-the-Dark Teeth

We get that whiter teeth are a sign of youth and health, but do they have to be radioactive?

Buccal Fat Removal

Women can’t win. When they’re young, they’re told their cheeks are too chubby, so they get the fat removed, but when they’re older, they need fillers to replace it.

All the Muscle

Men think women love muscles, but when they’re so thick they can barely move, it’s not attractive anymore.

Orange Tans

The fake tan industry really has people believing that the weird orange hue that covers their entire body is attractive.

Dark Liner, Light Lips

People probably think a dark outline around lighter lips makes the lips stand out. It really just makes you look like a clown.

Contacts

Who decided glasses were ugly? It's one thing to wear contacts if you prefer them, but let’s allow people to wear glasses again.

Handlebar Mustaches

Hipster guys love their twisty mustaches, but they make people look like cartoon villains.

Plastic

So many people look fake nowadays. They all look the same with that weird veneer of plastic over them. It doesn’t even look human.

Totally Airbrushed

People online airbrush every flaw and imperfection away. Models in magazines don’t even have pores anymore. Are people attracted to this?

Hairlessness

It’s actually scary that so many men prefer the prepubescent look on women.

Bushy Beards

The lumberjack look doesn’t usually look good. When guys keep big beards but don’t take care of them, they look like scraggly bird’s nests on the face.

Uniformity

Everyone is trying so hard to get the “it” look that everyone looks the same. There’s no uniqueness anymore. People look better when they celebrate themselves.

Forget Beauty Standards - Be True To Yourself

To live a happy, healthy life, you must be true to yourself. It can be hard to be ourselves when society wants to force us to be something we're not. Here are 16 ways to be unapologetically you.
