There are some crazy beauty trends out there these days. But do they compare to out there trends of the past? Let’s take a look at some of those we don’t miss.

We have to be ready to roll with it, right? Still, some trends really miss the mark even when they are current trends. Safe to say, we don’t miss them when they are gone.

From bad makeup choices to hairstyle mistakes, these are the trends we hope don’t come around again any time soon.

6 Beauty Trends We Don’t Miss

1. Overplucked Brows: Sure, there is some grooming involved in pulling off on fleek brows. But the current lush brow trend requires a lighter touch when it comes to plucking. Nice to see the days of skinny brows is a thing of the past. And for good reason, regular plucking makes it tough to grow those babies back when you want them. Step away from the tweezers and take a less is more approach to brow grooming.

2. Bad Bronzer: Remember the orange-y glint of yester-year’s bronzer? That oompa loompa look you could spot a hundred yards off? Today’s bronzer is more natural glow than fakey bronze. As with the brows, a light touch is the way to go. Go for a swipe of cream based RMS Beauty Buriti Bronzer.

3. Frost Makeup: While the ultra matte look may not be for everyone, super frost on lids and lips is tough to pull off and and goes against today’s low maintenance beauty. If you like the look of muted frost, try a hint of shimmer. RMS Beauty Living Luminizer is the absolute bomb for providing natural looking lit from within-ness. No glaring frostiness necessary.

4. Body Glitter: Yes, we all love glowing skin. But actual sparkle was over the top even when it was popular. Subtle glimmer enhances collar bones, tanned skin, and creates a healthy luster. Prrty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion adds instant radiance and evens skin tone while it hydrates.

5. Overlined Lips: These have been goners for a while now, but it never hurts to reinforce. Lipliner definitely has its place in any makeup routine. It defines lips and helps lip color to stay in place. Especially helpful when wearing red lipstick. Just remember to keep liner color as close to lipstick color as possible.

6. Crispy Hair: If you have any natural texture to your hair at all, you know you went the crispy hair route at some point. Super quick and easy? Yes. Soft and touchable? Nope. Whether you are LOBing it, WOBing it, FOBing it, or good ol’ BOBing it these days, natural wave is where it’s at. Rahua Finishing Treatment adds softness and shine with hair reparative benefits.

Ok, so we’ve covered past trends we don’t miss, but there are a few current trends that could disappear too. Who else is tired of seeing blue/pink/purple dyed hair or tall black sports socks? Yep, those are definitely headed for next year’s worst beauty trends list.

Who says beauty trends have to be safe? If you like your beauty with a side of wild, you are in for a treat this season.

Once the season changes we feel like changing too. Worn out clothes and shoes have to go. Dark polish and blow outs are put away until next fall. Now for some new items.

You could try some neon brights, a fresh lip color or a new pair of Birks. Looking for a bit more adventure? If you don’t want to play it quite so safe, try one of the more bizarre beauty trends of the year.

4 Bizarre Beauty Trends for Summer 2015

1. Nose Rings // Vogue featured a story on them in this spring’s April issue. Of course, Rihanna and Zoe Kravitz can pull this look off effortlessly. But are you up for getting your septum pierced in the name of summer beauty trends? No worries. Clip on nose rings(aka septum cuffs) are available and pretty darn good looking too. This one from Free People is the bomb. Remember, the idea is to add a bit of edginess to a dressed up look. A nose ring with anything less than uber polished hair, makeup, nails, and clothes is heading back toward grunge.

2. Eyebrow Extensions // Yes, incredibly thick eyebrows are on trend. Yes, we all want them. And yes, growing out eyebrows is a tough thing to do. Brows, like the hair on your head, varies in thickness person to person. What’s a thin-browed gal to do? Well, you could fill them in with a little help from brow color and shaping. Or go big and get yourself some eyebrow extensions. As with hair extensions, hair (mostly human) is adhered to existing brows in desired color and shape. They can be washed, brushed…whatever you do to your own brows. Extensions typically last 2-3 weeks, then you’ll need to go back for a fill. Ranging in price from $40 to $250 this is a somewhat costly trend. But nice, thick brows may just be worth it.

3. Colored Brows // And while we are talking brows, what color would you like? Nope. Not brown, black or taupe. Think brighter. On the Badgley Mischka runway at NYFW last fall, models were sporting green, pink, and blue brows. To experiment with this, here is what I would do. Dab a teensy amount of Haut Cosmetics Bio-Cocoa Balm onto brows and dust on a layer of the Haut mineral pigments in an ultra sonic hue, like Lapis or Tourmaline. This trend probably looks best on those with thick brows. Or once you’ve had your eyebrow extensions put in. Kind of weird, maybe. But a lot prettier than dyed pit hair, no?

4. Smudged Mascara // Ok, this goes against every natural instinct we have regarding mascara. The whole idea is to find one that won’t leave you with raccoon eyes, right? It looks like smudged mascara is making an appearance, former beauty editor turned memoir penner , Cat Marnell, surely inspiring this one into existence. The way to get this look is very easy. Just get messy. Applying a thick, very smudgy, line of black pencil to upper and lower lids helps. Then, when applying mascara, be sure to let the brush hit your skin a few times. Smear slightly with fingertip if you feel like it. Really, there are no rules here.

So what do you think? Ready to take on any of these bizarre beauty trends for summer? Colored brows, maybe. Septum cuff, for sure!
