Our Definitive Guide of the Weirdest, Most Confusing, and F*cked-Up Beauty Trends of 2017

Perhaps tied with nostril hair extensions as the number one most talked-about beauty trend of the year, these rippling arches squiggled their way into our hearts back in August. There is something very Seussical about this lewk, which divided the nation into Instagram-trend-lovers and haters.

Come Halloween, influencers went and took squiggle brows into next-level-weird territory, but we were still into it — even though it's cringe-worthy.

The look that launched a thousand "I can't even!"s was no doubt nostril hair extensions. When POPSUGAR asked trendsetter GretChet Chen why she decided to wear nostril hair extensions, she simply said, "I just feel it's boring to have hair extensions on a normal place." Deal with it.

Squiggle brows grew legs, squiggled south, and became wavy lips! This look was sometimes the product of Facetuning (as in the image above) or made with extra lip liner. Either way, it sure shimmied.

For true minimalists or squiggle brow-haters, negative-space brows pretty much erased beauty's most controversial feature. It made people look like ghosts — but friendly ghosts, like Casper.

Perhaps taking inspiration from pretzel twists, (possibly hangry) beauty enthusiasts jumped on the braided brow trend. Whether the look was drawn on, Photoshopped, or crafted via tiny, plaited wig hair strands, the twisted look was truly hypnotizing.

Here's where sh*t gets sort of meta: in response to the barrage of crazy beauty trends, influencer Huda Kattan created McDonald's brows as a parody look. But then, like all other trends, it just took off because people were lovin' it so much.

For the girl who's tough on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside, there are spiky brows. The popularity of this look no doubt happened because it coincided with Halloween and included an orange-bronze eye shadow look, which led it to be called "Pumpkin & Spikes."

Wonder Woman would approve of this superhero-esque lightning bolt brow, which makes uneven arches look totally chic.

Feast your eyes on Nike brows. Seriously, just do it.

In the alternate reality that is 2017, you can put glitter anywhere (more on that topic to come). Exhibit A? glitter tongue, which allows wearers to literally sparkle from within.

Haters will say it's Photoshop. And that's because ponytail brows actually are! But whatever, they're fun.

Hey, when you look good, you should flaunt it, and that's exactly what visual illusion artist Dain Yoon did with her hairy selfie nails. Girlfriend upped the creepy factor by putting extremely realistic selfies on her nail, complete with long hair. Watch the video above and try not to shudder.

What began as a joke by makeup artist Stella Sironen quickly became the feathered brow trend, and we're not mad about it. Seriously, that masterful, quill-esque arch belongs in a museum of renaissance art.

Finally, a realistic "I woke up like this" trend — barbed wire brows actually resemble our brows when we roll out of bed 20 minutes after our alarm first went off.

Eek! This truly terrifying trend swept the 'gram just in time for Halloween/our nightmares.

This Summer, women started putting sparkles on their derrières, like you do.

As one comment on the Instagram post detailing double lashes put it, "Four lashes instead of two makes it easier not to see the haters."

It's getting festive up in here with Santa hat brows, a look Buddy the Elf would approve of.

The world was not prepared for this extremely realistic tampon nail art, but nevertheless, we got it.

What a ride — 2017, we out!
