We're blaming the clickbait thumbnails of the beauty videos from Instagram for this trend. There is no way wavy eyebrows work on anyone. In editorial fashion, maybe... But in real life? Stop trying to make wavy eyebrows happen, Gretchen Wieners.
We only approve of this eye makeup look if you're a middle schooler going through your rebellious stage (although we're pretty sure you'll still regret doing this.) Sure, smokey eyes are sexy, but going full raccoon is definitely a no. Don't hide your eyes with layers of black eye pencil; there are other ways to look edgy.

Chunky mascara
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.

Over the top contouring
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.

Highlight before foundation
Here's a question we've been meaning to ask: WHY? Why apply highlight all over your face only to cover everything with foundation (worse, matte foundation)? This won't make your skin glow — on the contrary, it'll only make your skin feel heavy and your face cakey. It's a ridiculous step and you better go back to your trusted primer instead.
