On the other end of the brow spectrum, we've got the "Instagram brow:" Sharpie-thick and perfectly sculpted. (James Charles regrets it, so should you.) When the eyebrow game leveled up, everyone got excited and aimed for perfection which was often too dark, overdrawn, and seemingly flat.

Some people took the 100 layers of everything challenge a little too seriously with regards to mascara... Darling, don't: You can make your lashes long and thick without having clumps of mascara. Also, this technique can actually make your eyes look smaller. Go get a mascara that doesn't need multiple coats to give you thicker lashes.

Who doesn't want a slimmer face? Contouring adds dimension to your face, highlights your best features, and hide those that you don't really like. But you don't have to look like a sculpture by going over the top. Worse, you might end up having bruise-like shadows on your cheeks. Learn how to contour and accentuate your features naturally to have a look that's truly on fleek.
