Massive eyebrows and massive butts

AiryFairyMum · 26/03/2021 17:13

Fake grass
Grey interiors
Flesh coloured clothes, particularly tight ones.

@RedToothBrush what’s wrong with those things you posted? They are a weedy sub-art-deco version but they aren’t offensive.

@SpringAhead

Salted caramel
Why would anyone be embarrassed by salted caramel?

Massive eyebrows and massive butts
Would love to think my massive butt was gone in 5 years but I fear it's hereditary.

From the tik tok machine I see that BLUE MASCARA is making a comeback, and I for one am thrilled.

Tattoos.

The big eyebrows, huge false eyelashes and big lips is definitely a look round here. But like all makeup trends it will start looking old fashioned in a few years.

It’s not really a fashion but I’d like to see the back of the way young women stand together posing for a photo. Side on, angled, one leg out front. You don’t look thinner, you look daft.

And gin. Can’t wait for vodka to have its moment in the sun. Bloody love vodka.

Influencers posing in underwear.
Influencers.
I see one if the Love Island participants has drained her fillers and taken off the bonding on her teeth. If she is to start a fashion with this it’s a healthier one.

Soap brows

My hairdresser was super on trend when they were open and everyone left with sharp, straight cut hair. It suits some people but when I'm paying that much for a cut I want something that suits my face shape not what's on trend. I changed hairdressers as they tried forcing it on me when my hair is so thin it needs layers and shaping

Oh I hope straight cut hair stays - it’s the only hairstyle that works with my stupid, thick hair!

Massive OTT baby showers / gender reveals / birthday parties for small children with all the balloon arches and cupcakes and other crap, mostly done for the sake of social media.

@minniemoocher

“Food served on boards, slates, etc. Grey walls, laminate and wood floors, one use coffee cups, and hopefully artificial turf, it's everywhere here!”

Wood floors have been around for centuries - I think that one’s unlikely! I also had a laminate (not very good) floor 20+ years ago, so that’s not exactly a new fad either.

@whetherpigshavewings

being fat "curvy"
I’m fat and can tell you it’s already embarrassing. But thanks for your input.

Big fake megawatt Turkish teeth, lip filler and overdone eyebrows

en0la · 26/03/2021 17:25

Ru Paul drag race I hope. 5 days preferably.

Toddlerteaplease · 26/03/2021 17:26

Caterpillar eyebrows!

RUOKHon · 26/03/2021 17:27

I am intrigued to see how Brazilian butt lifts will age on Kim K, Cardi B, Iggy Azalea and the Love Islanders.

Better hope the waif look never returns.

Thefaceofboe · 26/03/2021 17:27

Definitely over sharing on social media Blush

IEat · 26/03/2021 17:30

Not blending makeup, so your neck and face are two different colours!

Eating meat freely, without a care, at every meal.

@Gemma2019

Really hope the pouting photos die a death soon. So fed up of seeing group photos where everyone is looking serious or pouting and obviously thinking it makes them look more attractive. Really miss the natural smiling photos of old.
I think some of the young girls will look back and think ‘why did I look so miserable all the time’.
thepeopleversuswork · 26/03/2021 17:33

Um... I think anyone who is hoping social media or alcohol are a passing trend which will disappear in five years may be disappointed.
