Say goodbye to these beauty trends in 2020

It wasn't all bad beauty news coming out of 2019. We had some real winners like metallic lip colors ,perfectly precise eyebrows ... That being said, the year wasn't without plenty of face-palm worthy beauty moments. We had glitter, we had sparkles, we had nail trends that will honestly be giving us nightmares for decades. Here, we're breaking down a few trends that we're happy to bid adieu in 2020.

• The blinding highlighting trend is fading

While highlighters are great at emphasizing the high points of your face, beauty influencers have taken the obsession too far. We’re not saying that you should remove highlighting from your makeup routine; rather, take it down a notch. That extra shine is great for events with flash photography and evening looks, but for an everyday look, it can be a bit much.

• INSTAGRAM BROWS

That ombre Instagram brow slowly starting dying out last year as feathery, more natural brows started to take over. Thank God, because perfect eyebrows are totally overrated. Rather than penciling them in for a fuller look, go for an eyebrow gel to brush the hairs upwards and keep the arch neat. That way, you still have full brows without looking too heavy and stamped on.

• People will probably stop wearing super matte lip products.

Just as matte foundations flatten your face, matte lipsticks take away the natural plump of your lips. While matte lipsticks will probably stick around in the long term, it’s best to finish them off with a clear gloss, or a lighter colored gloss to dab in the middle of your lips to make them appear fuller. If you’re looking for something more natural, you can’t go wrong with a cheek and lip tint.

• OVER-LINED LIPS

Lining outside of your lips may look like you’ve got fuller lips in photos, but it ends up looking really silly in person, whether you’re blessed with full smackers or have lips on the thinner side. Buy or make your own natural lip plumper so that you don’t have to over-line your lips like a lot of beauty gurus do.

• Glitter is bad for the environment — and it's not much better for your skin.

Glitter can break down on the skin, releasing chemicals that “can disrupt human and animal hormones”
