The year 2018 saw Instagram flooded with beauty trends that were downright bizarre. People experimented to make their eyebrows look whacky and got hair extensions where they shouldn’t have. So let’s have a look at a few of the craziest beauty trends that went viral this year.

Halo, Fishtail, Glitter, Tiger, Rainbow Brows, EKG, Garden – do you know what’s common between these terms? No? They are the eyebrow makeup trends that made Instagrammers go crazy this year. But the Garden Brows makeup just takes the cake. The viral trend was started by blogger Taylor R who is a self-confessed fan of weird stuff so it is not surprising that she decided that eyebrows should look green with flowers sprouting out of them!
Nose Hair Extensions

Many of us have thought about getting hair extensions to make our mane look sexy and stylish and our scalp is the only area where we would like hair to grow in abundance. But what happens when you get so bored that you want it to grow out elsewhere? Maybe that sort of boredom gave rise to the trend of Nose Hair Extensions. Yes, you heard it right! But thankfully, the so-called fashionistas who tried this out did not go all natural and simply placed their fake eyelashes around nostrils to get a look that was one part funny and all parts yuck!
Teeth Nails
Visiting a dentist to get your teeth fixed is common. How about going to a nail salon to get teeth fixed on your nails? The teeth nails trend was started by Russian beauty studio Nail Sunny and went viral on Instagram with the hashtags #funnynails and #dentistfingers.

DIY Nose Job
Getting a nose job or rhinoplasty done by a cosmetic surgeon may cost around Rs 40,000 to Rs 2 lakh in India and Rs 3 lakh in USA on an average but you can also try doing it at home! Don’t believe us? Then head to Instagram to watch DIY tutorials of how you can get a new nose by modelling it with wax! This was part of the crazy makeup tutorials from Asia that aimed to give a stunning makeover making you totally unrecognisable. But this is one beauty hack that you can try out as it’s easy to do and besides the scar wax used for making the ‘fake temporary nose’ only costs around Rs 1000 or so.
