    1. Unicorn nails.

    They look amazing but it doesn't feel like they're going to stand the test of time.

    2. Covering your entire face in highlighter.

    One day we'll tell our children that in 2017, everyone permanently looked like they'd just worked out.

    3. Contouring in general.

    Soooo much effort.

    4. Especially if the contouring is not on your face.

    This must be a phase.

    5. Making your lips as plump as you possibly can.

    Thanks, Kylie Jenner.

    6. And using an insane amount of lip liner.

    Eventually we'll forget about lip liner.

    7. Holographic lips.

    8. But also holographic nails.

    2017 is truly the year of the holograph.

    9. Filling in your eyebrows until they're unreasonably large.

    In the '00s it was all about thin eyebrows and now we've gone the other way.

    10. False eyelashes.

    So sticky and so hard to apply.

    11. Applying foundation with bizarre implements, like a silicon beauty blender.

    We'll return to conventional makeup application methods one day.

    12. Or worse, a condom.

    Twitter: @lexysaeyang

    I mean.

    13. Or, of course, a literal human ball.

    So 2017.

    14. Very pointy almond nails.

    Twitter: @drewsdaegu

    We were into square-tipped French manicures in the '00s and now we're into constantly looking like we're pointing.

    15. Cuticle art.

    16. Actually, just nail art in general.

    It looks great, it's just impossible to get right yourself.

    17. Matte lipstick

    Shiny lips will be cool again one day.

    18. And of course, lollipop lips.

    Twitter: @_beautytweets__

    It won't be cool to look like you've got snogging rash on your lips forever.
