Mermaid lovers, rejoice! This serena look is achieved by placing a net over your face and dusting with eyeshadows. I mean, this is great for Halloween, but not daily wear!

Glitter tears may be perfect for fairies, but it's just creepy in real life. Walking around in public like this is just wrong.

Thermal highlighting is an artistic take on the J.Lo glow. It's cool, but not cute enough to leave the house like this.

Got hours in a day to spare? Probably not, but it takes up to 6 hours to create polish mountains with multiple layers like this one. Insanity!

I'm all about embracing your freckles. Hey, I have a face full of them, but I'll never color them like this. What the hell?

As if glitter wasn't a pain to get rid of, people have come up with throwing a bunch on top of their roots–because it looks cute. I guess?

If God didn't bless you with a Kim Kardashian booty, you can just contour one. This is crazier than contouring abs!

Multicolored hair
