Long, pointy nails. Overly long nails in general. 1/4 inch past the tip of the finger is plenty in my opinion.
All the contouring! It just looks so caked on and overdone. When you’re unrecognizable without makeup, it’s too much.
When people do their lipstick way past their lip line to make them look bigger. It just looks weird imo but you do you
A lack of standards towards men. As a man honestly men are allowed to be generally disgusting and nobody says anything because it's considered normal. Men too should be expected to put some level of effort into their appearance.
Unnatural extreme white veneers. Many celebs get them even if they had overall nice teeth before.
Filler in general, but especially in the cheekbones. I am genuinely so confused why so many girls want to look like they're having an allergic reaction. It's almost painful to look at, it looks like their face is swollen.
I've never in my life looked at someone and thought, hmm their cheekbones are too flat.
I don't find this unattractive, I just think its overrated; being blonde shouldn't be the beauty standard. Dark hair is beautiful as well.
Long beards on men.
Those absurdly long finger nails some women love to have, to the point they have problems even using a phone or writing
It’s not that I find it unattractive but I do not understand the intense hype over tall men. I am way more into average to short dudes.
The current trend of thick, strong eyebrows on people who weren't born with eyebrows like that. Lily Collins, Brooke Shields, etc - YES. Everyone else - NO.
Youth. The standard of beauty is young people at the peak of their development. I don't find that attractive.
