Trends to leave behind in 2015

 

I’m sure you’re thinking this is a late post, but trust me it’s not. January is just about to end and there’s room for “change.” You might look down this list and find yourself guilty of one or two offences. But don’t worry girls, I’ve got you. I’m suggesting better options (for some) that’ll make sure you’re style is updated and ready for 2016.

 

1. EXCESSIVELY DRAWN BROWS

Say after me: “I refuse to paint brows that make me look razz” This trend is going out fast. If you watch youtube makeup tutorials, you’ll see that beauty gurus have started to go for natural looking brows. Join them!

2. ‘WOKEUPLIKETHIS’ SELFIES

To be fair, some chicks wake up looking banging! But on the real, it’s not everybody. Why are you lying?! We both know your pimples and dark spots are hiding behind some concealer and those lashes have been blessed with Maybelline’s colossal mascara. Tell the truth!

3. HIGHLIGHTING AND CONTOURING

Uuuuuggghhhh!!! Please go already. The thing is you’ll catch people that don’t know how to do it when someone else takes a picture of them with flash. If its their own camera, they obviously wont use flash because the results would be too funny.

4. CLOWN-FACE MAKE UP

Can we just go back to normal makeup. When we didn’t have to do crazy stuff like this to have our makeup on fleek (in fact, “fleek” should be on this list too). Like this is too much. This one is an exaggerated version of highlighting and contouring. It now has color correction added to it. I’m just tired. Next!

 

5. RIPPED (A.K.A. SLAUGHTERED) JEANS

Distressed jeans are good. To be honest, they’re cool. But when you take your jeans and cut them open such that it looks like you’re wearing shorts and jeans socks, then we have a problem.

 

6. SLIMMING TEAS

Every girl wants abs or at least a flat stomach. Which is why these teas were so popular in 2015. Instagram celebrities made so much hype about them ehn that we thought it was the only way to go. But its not…thankfully.

 

7. 3D NAIL ART

These are just ratchet. Yes I said it. Razz, ratchet whatever you want to call it. They just don’t look right. And they’re scary.

8. FAKE SIDE SHAVE

Ha! This one is for the sisters that aren’t bold enough to actually shave their hair. So the deal is to lay one side of your hair flat with gel and do whatever with what’s left. The problem first of all, is that it never looks like the hair is shaved, so you’ve failed from the beginning. Then after a while it starts to unravel, when it gets rough. If you cant shave your hair, do something else.
