“The Decade Is Just Stuck On Someone’s Face”: 44 Beauty Standards And Trends That Need To Retire

Any trend that makes the body a fad. Everyone has a different body type, composition, weight etc. To imagine that you can diet your way into having a Kim Kardashian figure without surgery is unrealistic and its dangerous. She doesnt even have that figure without surgery. All you have to do is eat better and be more active and dress for your body type.

Also Veneers. It doesn't look natural to have bright white 8x10 teeth. You can 1000% tell when its not natural.

That having any visible body hair makes you “dirty”.

Extreme thinness, is a health risk and the person ends up looking sick and mind you, I'm not talking about naturally thin women but rather those who clearly have ED.

BBL's

I know it wasn't always typical and it seems to be dying out slowly, but it is just ridicilous! I get wanting to have a bigger a*s, I do too, but I workout for it so that the rest of my body matches. Some BBL's out there look scary bad and I just don't understand why someone would do that to themselves.

Looking bored, dead eyes, never smiling in photos. I’m so over that look.

I find my fiance, the father of my two beautiful children, INCREDIBLY attractive. Every day. Regardless of how much or little sleep he's had. He's gorgeous. I sometimes weird him out by how much I stare at him with 😍 love-heart eyes.
He's never worn makeup in his life.

If I don't wear it, I feel like I look like a literal man, and not an attractive one.

I get that it's very much subjective to a point, but I do blame "society" for instilling this (incorrect, I know) idea that a woman's face isn't complete or attractive without it having been augmented in SOME way, even if it's just a dash of mascara.

Thigh gaps - people’s hips are all different widths.

Tattooed eyebrows 🤢.

Getting rid of hooded eyes for purely aesthetic reasons. They are so normal, and there are countless female celebrities with hooded eyes who are ubiquitously considered gorgeous.

Eleven-year-olds that think they “need” retinol. I’m not talking about kids with acne who are miserable, I’m talking about kids buying harsh actives with their mom’s credit cards because they saw them on TikTok. I can see playing with makeup or a fun mud mask - we definitely did that in the nineties - but these absolutely lovely girls are going to ruin their skin, not to mention the Sephora experience for the rest of us. Madison (and Madison’s mom…) please stop buying Drunk Elephant, Glow Recipe, and that awful red treatment from the Ordinary….

The online asian trend of glass skin and hair that, for some reason, influencers are trying so hard to achieve. If you don't have good lighting and filters following you around, you will look greasy. It's obvious this trend was meant to only look good on camera. I've seen it in person a good handful of time, and it has never looked good.

Purposely removing buccal fat, like why?

The obsession with anti aging, thigh gaps, buccal fat, body hair, jawlines, noses, and pale skin.

That blondes are prettier.

Hair extensions. They are so disgusting to me and also usually sourced in very questionable ways.

The hairless face thing that's everywhere right now! Why does it matter???? You literally have to have a special spray to IDENTIFY THE HAIRS because you CAN'T SEE THEM WELL ENOUGH TO SHAVE OFF.

I can understand shaving the hair on your upper lip and shaping your eyebrows, both things I do, one of them because I can feel the hair when I breath and hate it and one because I dislike monobrows (***PERSONAL PREFERENCE***) but to take the time to shave your whole face when the hairs can't even be seen just seems ridiculous to me.

In east asia where I live, it's the standard for under eye fat bags (aegyo sal) where people either get fillers to achieve the look, or just draw a brown line under their eye fat bags to accentuate those fat bags. Apparently it makes your eyes look bigger and you appear cuter, but it was never cute for me. I thought it rather looked puffy when accentuated.

Shaving your arms, I don't understand that at all. I guess the same for shaving your whole face?

Unnecessary cosmetic surgery and fillers.

People using brown lip liner even when it doesn’t suit their undertone.
