Bizarre Beauty Trends You Need To See To Believe

It seems like every day there's some new beauty trend buzzing around on social media. We'll admit, sometimes beauty trends are way overdue. For instance, fuller eyebrows — the overplucked brows of the '90s and early 2000s weren't doing us any favors. Other times, they're just so weird you have to see them to believe them. Here are some of the most bizarre beauty trends currently circulating on social media. But considering the way trends go, these could be out of style just as fast as they came in style.

I don't know about you, but one of the things I strive for when it comes to doing my makeup is to avoid looking like I did when I applied it for fun as a young kid. But the "lollipop lip" trend even takes its name from something you'd see on a small child. Think about the last time you saw a kid with a lollipop. Chances are, that sugary, artificially colored goodness ended up all around her mouth. 

That's exactly what the lollipop lip trend is going for. Not only does Huffington Post point out that this is probably not great for your pores, I'd be willing to bet that it happened as a mistake the first time. My guess is that a hot and heavy makeout session soon followed by a photo before the person had a chance to fix their lipstick somehow led to "No, that's totally the new trend," and it somehow caught on. Beauty gods, help us all.

Yes, you read that right — and it's just as bizarre as it sounds. Gone are the day of nose hair trimmers. Gone are even the days of letting your nose hair be natural. We seem to have entered the era of nose hair extensions. To be fair, this one started as a joke, but that hasn't stopped it from trending. If you're wondering how in the world you go about getting nose hair extensions, you'll either be relieved or horrified to know that they're false eyelashes either applied around the nostril or shoved right up in there. I think we'll pass on this one.

Glitter roots are one thing, but hair isn't the only unexpected place that people are putting glitter. It seems like this particular glitter trend is not only used to hide things you'd rather not deal with (hello, not having time to shave your armpits), but it's also great for highlighting your, um, assets. From booty bling at festivals and events to glitter in lieu of a bra, who knew that sparkly little flakes were so versatile? While glitter seems to attach itself to everything in its path and never let go, I don't know whether I'd be confident enough in its sticking ability to use it to cover certain areas, if you know what I mean. Sparkly is one thing, flashing is another.

Makeup is certainly magical and this bizarre trend is taking the term "makeup artist" to a whole new level. We all know that it takes a lot of patience and ability to perfect your makeup, but for some people, it isn't just about hiding dark circles or making their cheekbones pop. Lip art, particularly of the 3D variety, is all the rage. Sometimes it's done with just makeup and illusions, and other times it includes things like mini pearls and sequins to enhance the look. I can't be the only one to wonder what happens when you need to eat or drink! I'm lucky if I can get my lipstick right when I'm just going for a little color.

There's no denying that false eyelashes can help make a big statement. They've become pretty commonplace with people even having extensions professionally applied to last for weeks. I'm probably one of the few remaining people who has never tried false eyelashes (even the kind you can pick up at the drugstore). Apparently even the false eyelash trend has evolved — it now includes false bottom lashes. This bizarre beauty trend certainly makes for a dramatic look, but I can't wrap my head around how it must feel to have such long lashes on top and bottom. Then again, my lashes are so short they're virtually nonexistent, so maybe I just need to give it a try.
