Endless selfies, food porn and bikini photos are just some of the delights we now see regularly thanks to Instagram. The latest insta-category to give thanks for? Bizarre (I repeat, BIZARRE) beauty trends.
At first it was contouring, which actually became something that normalized itself. Then there was the ill-fated #kyliejennerlipchallenge(still lolling at that one), furry nails (Ew!), crystal lips (totally unrealistic) and the list goes on. Ah the internet – it’s just a gift that keeps on giving, isn’t it?
Luckily for us, nothing has changed this month – the trends are just as abnormal, appealing and yes, slightly alarming. So have a look and ask yourself – are you game for this glam?
Scroll down below to see the hair and makeup trends I’ve been seeing over the past couple of weeks.
# Radiant eyes
While we are seeing a lot of colour when it comes to eye makeup, the yellow and glossy dazzling colours seem to be what most of the IG trendsetters.
# Rainbow teeth
Nail paint has become a staple in our beauty regimes but one beauty brand want to take it a step further – and we’re not sure we’re ready.
CHRŌM has created a nail polish – for teeth. All you do is painting it on and it’ll stay put for 24 hours until you brush it away.
Would you challenge to rock rainbow teeth?
# Hairpins
Dressing up your hair/hairstyle seems to be something every Instagrammer opts for.
# Fire Burning Nails
If having fire on your nails doesn’t get people’s attention, then I don’t know what will! You can opt for matte, gloss or even glitter for this one.
# Bright Yellow Peek-A-Boo
Don’t be afraid to play with colour this month. Try by accentuating the inner corners of your eyes with a bright yellow shadow or eyeliner.
# Queen Elizabeth-Inspired Hair
Things got pretty imperial at the Gucci 2019 Cruise show, where models stormed the runway with Elizabeth I-inspired hairstyles.
Hairstylist Paul Hanlon treated models to curly, gravity-defying bouffant that paid honor to the late monarch’s iconic style, complete with intricate braided buns. We’re sort of into it.
Which trend are you a fan of?
