15 Beauty Trends From The Early 2000s That You Wish You Could Forget
We have all made some regrettable decisions in our lives, that is just a fact. One thing that we have all been guilty of is following trends that really didn't deserve to be followed.
We didn't have the Y2K problems we expected, but this new millennium did present a different issue. All the sudden we became these monsters who thought eyebrows were evil and bronzer was the most important part of your look.
A lot of us fell victim to the 00s trends, and it's time to start the healing process and admit that we made some mistakes. The first step to recovering is admitting that you had a problem.
First of all, you know your eyebrows were almost non-existent
Sunless tanners were a real problem
Super chunky highlights that didn't match your hair color AT ALL were pretty much the norm
Sometimes if you wanted to look super fancy you would attach literal crystals to your face
The frosted effect of sliver or white eyeliner or eyeshadow "because it made your eyes look bigger"
Again, I cannot stress just how BAD the eyebrows were. They were like little apostrophes over your eyes
Any and all exposed flesh whether it was an arm, a neck or even your decolletage should be coated in glitter
There were a lot more beauty sins we committed regularly back then...
Purple eye-shadow was pretty much everywhere
Using a lip liner that was super dark and did not match your lip color in the least
"Lowlights" really became a thing. Having white blonde hair on top with black underneath, you know, to keep it natural
Some half curled-half crimped hybrid hair was pretty normal
Shorter hair styles always had to be flipped out on the bottom
If you didn't have the lipliner issue going on, you probably had the SUPER glossy frosted lip happening on your face and your hair was always getting stuck in it
If you wanted to rebel against the norms, you went for a ridiculously heavy eyeliner look
Men weren't innocent in all this, Frosted Tips are enough of an offense (how have these managed to come back into style?)
We survived it, and luckily our eyebrows have managed to grow back. Share if you fell victim to any of these trends!

This One Teen's Tweet About Burning CDs Will Honestly Ruin Your Day
All of us who would consider ourselves to be 80s and 90s kids aren't really that old, right? We are still in the prime of our lives, and a lot of us still feel like we're just getting started on our path to being a "real grown-up." Maybe it's not the greatest that a lot of us still feel young, but times have changed since our parents were in their 30s. We've learned how to chill out and take our time in our lives. There's no rush, so let's all just relax and try to stay young longer.Here's the
Ikea Is Bringing Back The Couch Of Your Nightmares, And People Have A Lot To Say About It
Remember when you were growing up and you'd go hang out in the living room for hours and hours, never leaving your spot on the couch? Well, honestly I can't pretend much has changed, other than the fact that the couch has fewer flowers on it than ever before. Most people stick to a single color now, but back in the day there was apparently nothing more desirable than a good floral pattern. Big flowers, small flowers, pinks ones, or blue, every combination was waiting for you. We've all seen a lot of bad couches in our days, but when
There's Now Only One Blockbuster Left, But It Refuses To Give Up
We've all known for a while that Blockbuster was basically a lost cause. Most Blockbuster locations closed down many years ago, leaving behind their empty buildings that look like they house all the ghosts of the 90s. However there were a few places where Blockbuster Video refused to die. There were six locations remaining in Alaska, and one in Bend, Oregon, but this weekend marks a sad moment. All of the Alaskan Blockbusters have been officially closed. Four had actually been closed earlier in the year, but this weekend the final two locations closed their doors for good. But don't
Are Your Old Pogs Actually Worth As Much As People Claim?
People like to look back at their childhood and think about all the cool stuff they had. We all collected Beanie Babies, Pokemon Cards, Polly Pockets, and more, but one of the weirdest obsessions we all had was the Pog craze. Pogs were perhaps one of the most popular toys (if you could really call them that) of the 90s. They were basically little cardboard disks that had pictures on them, and the point of them was to collect as many as you could, trade them with your friends, and maybe compete for more using your "Slammer". A lot of
