beauty fail

Makeup is an art, especially when it's done well. I guess that's why they call them makeup artists. But sometimes, it's a failed art form, and the amateurs give the professionals an awful rep. These women whose makeup totally backfired on their faces, whether it was their wrongdoing or a makeup artist's failed attempt, we can only scroll through and feel sorry for these poor ladies. Better luck next time, eh?

I don't know what these people did to lead to getting their mugshots taken, but I would argue that their biggest crime is against beauty—specifically, their god-awful eyebrows. There are bad eyebrows, and then there are these monstrosities, which all deserve life sentences. Did I miss the memo that having bad eyebrows a prerequisite to committing a crime? 

Going to the hairdresser is a nerve-wracking experience. You'll either leave satisfied with your new 'do, or filled with internal tears because you don't want the hairdresser to know how massively they f*cked up. From my experience, it's generally the latter. The Internet has had its fair share of crazy haircuts, and it's seriously hard to tell if the hairdresser screwed up, or if the customer actually asked to look like this. I mean, to each his own. No judgments, but also we're totally judging. Take a look at the monstrosities below. 

We've bought you the mugshots with eyebrows so bad that the eyebrows deserved their own mugshots. And now, we bring you mugshots with hairstyles so awful that the only crimes being committed here are the hairstyles themselves. Neglecting your self-image, beauty needs, and your appearance is a crime, too, you know.

They say you have to suffer to be beautiful, but some people choose to suffer and not look beautiful too. We've shown you the monstrosities of nostril hair extensions, and the ridiculous trend of people covering their tongues with glitter. We've also brought you elaborate nail designs such as these. And now, for the latest absurd beauty trend; furry nails. Yes, I'm as speechless as you are at the sight of these insane designs, but apparently, people need these in their life. I'm baffled. 2020, you win. 

Each time we come across a ridiculous beauty trend that is sweeping the internet, we feel the need to share the ridiculousness of it with you. We've bought you glitter tongues, we've shown you people painting their butts with glitter, and we've also given you a glimpse of people who are coloring their armpit hair (for some bizarre reason, I don't understand). And now, we bring you nostril hair extensions. Why are people doing this, you're probably asking? I couldn't tell you. All I can say is, they look like they'd be a nightmare if you have a cold, and they'd probably scare little kids away in the street. Other than that, they're great. I'm sure.

They say makeup is meant to enhance the wearer's natural beauty, not change their appearance (unless that's what you're aiming for, of course). But it's a delicate balance between enhancing your god-given beauty and creating a reality that isn't there. And these people prove just how fine that line is. These pictures of makeup fails will leave you utterly cringed out.

We've already bought you the trend that saw people jazzing up their armpit hair with glitter. But, if you're anything like me, then the thought of getting glitter anywhere near your body stresses you out, because, let's face it, glitter lingers for literally months. So if that's you, then you might be drawn to this less messy version — the beauty trend (or blunder, in my eyes) that has people dying their armpit hair bright colors. For what reason? I couldn't tell you. But they're doing it, and they're documenting the process. What do you think? Beauty blunder, or not?
