What makeup trend/fad do you not see becoming popular? Why/why not?
Even though we have seen heavier, thicker brows on the runway, I think it’s going to be quite some time (if at all) before we see thick brows to that degree. Crackle polishes, too, I don’t think will ever be fully popular at a mainstream level.
Thanks to Lyza for today’s question!

i have a few crackle polishes..i love nicely shaped eyebrows but HATE THICK eyebrows... no offense i love tony bianco shoes but the model Bambi eyebrows need plucking BADLY! :S oh and ive heard of those weird japanese temporary toothtattoos-think thats a fad though-kinda like diamentes on teeth
Tehe. I thought that about stupid hair feathers, and now they're everywhere:) So as far as crackle polish, sorry, but the receptionists and lab techs (moms one and all, and none of them particularly fashion forward) are all wearing it. And I'm in KS, so . . . IT HAS ARRIVED. Hehe. I'm going with blue eyeshadow a la Nars and Dior's fall launches. Too hard to get right. Even I won't invest. Which means it's sure to be a hit, right? :p
blue eyeshadow is lovely and has always been 4 me
My boyfriend's mom wears crackle polish, and she's not really into makeup/cosmetics/trends. To me, that's a sign that it's definitely mainstream.
I am hoping that the colored eyebrows do NOT catch on. Ugly from the word go! I have seen several YT tutorials where girls are coloring their brows green, blue, red or even rainbow colors with eyeshadow and brow wax. No thank you!
If I'd dye my hair green or red or pink or whatever though, I'd fill in my eyebrows that colour, but it's kinda odd if you have like, natural blonde or brown hair. I bet a lot of people would rock it though.
agree, it would look cool
Crackle nail polish. Not a wise choice in the corporate environment.
Long, almond shaped nails are tacky tacky tacky. I hope that trend does not go far.
yep
I would have also said crackle polish, because I have never seen anyone personally wearing it. Then when I read the responses here, I was shocked at the seeming popularity of it! I also don't see those pointy fingernails sticking around. I think they are flat out weird.
hmmmm maybe brown lip liners? or un-matching lipliners with lipsticks? the 90's brown fad i dont think will return again
Im loving the thicker eyebrows...actually in the process of growing mine (of course by time that actually happens, if at all, thinner eyebrows will probably be the rage again!)...
Also, I'm with you on crackle nail polish. I don't know if it just hasn't caught on in the South or if it's mostly a high-school trend, but I have ONE friend who bought a bottle, and she usually just paints her accent nail.
I agree with everyone saying the feather hair extensions. I can see it being cute on a night out (although I assumed they were fake feathers.... I'm not happy if it is causing animal cruelty, but that's a whole separate issue) but I saw a girl in front of me in line at the local chipotle with a fester hair extension in and her hair all in a messy ponytail and inwas like yuck.... lol she looked silly with that thing half sticking out of there all crazy and cockeyed lol. so it's such an impractical fashion statement, i don't see it becoming too popular.... but maybe I'm just getting old? lol! ;-)
oops--that is "feather" not "fester" lol i should really proof-read these auto-corrected comments haha silly phone!
Crackle polishes are actually very popular and mainstream right now where I am.
blue lipstick!
Blue lipstick is awesome!
yes, it is <3
I love nail polish but can't get into the crackle. We do our nails to look nice and neat and pretty and in my opinion the crackle looks messy and trashy.
I work retail, and I constantly see older ladies (like 60's) wearing crackle polish all the time, but never younger girls. I wish those stupid rooster hair extensions would go away. It looks silly and it's cruel.
Really? I'm all about this eyebrows thing! I LOVE my thick eyebrows! :3 I think eyebrows will shortly become common, but yellow lipstick or yellow hair will take a while.
Highlighter yellow or golden hair can look amazing, but I think yellow lipstick is hard to pull off for most people so the chances of it reaching mainstream popularity is not big. I've never seen anyone wearing yellow lipstick in person.
Pointy nails, eyeliner in the crease, bleached brows... I think it's more for the fashion industry and not meant to be 'trendy' or mainstream. Or at least not for me ;)
bright matte red eyeshadow. Good for the runway, but i couldn't see it happening to everyday people.
it's so cool
Lots of Goths wear it, it can look lovely.
I'd wear it for everyday!
I agree with a girl that said that the feather hair extension things are just a fad. I've even seen an infomercial about them! I think its cute on people with long hair but I dont see it lasting very long. But that's just my opinion. But I do that crackle polish everywhere!! I've seen lots of people wearing it!
Ombre!
In Atlanta, GA the ombre trend is VERY popular. As is the half fashion mullet/half mohawk on women. I even used to have that cut! As far as the large eyebrows go, I think if done correctly and skillfully thick brows are far more flattering than thin, highly arched, overly plucked brows. They frame the eyes so much better!
Ombre hair is pretty though!
crackle nail polish is already pretty mainstream? i think underground/fashion trends like blue/green lipstick, neon eyebrows, pastel streaked hair, thick black eyebrows, etc.
I've never seen anyone in person wearing it, LOL! Not a single one.
LOL, so what does that mean if I like a lot of the things people have been posting?! I just moved to Texas and haven't been looking at girls nails here but back in Iowa, crackle nails were everywhere! I was a waitress and lots of the staff had the crackle polish, as well as customers-teens, mom, grannies, everyone. You couldn't find a bottle of it to buy it in stores. Saw a display for it that was sold-out in my local Texas Target. Now, I have to admit, I have about 5 different colors of crackle and enjoy it time to time but I have to use it in an unusual way since it is so popular (LOL)-like with two colors underneath. I was known back in IA by customers for having cool nails (hand painted neon cheetah, abstract designs, flowers, etc) Also, have had the feathers in my hair but took them out when I saw lots of other girls with them in. Also, guilty of having a couple of pale pink highlights in my blonde hair-LOVE it but not doing it for now because I'm worried it might limit my job possibilities. I think this post is funny because I love being on the start of new trends and then tire when they become a bit more mainstream. I like the Anna Sui eyeliner and will try it out-it's mod and I love it. Anybody seen the new Instyle Sept? It has some AWESOME eyeliner styles-my fave is a realllly thick blunt black eyeliner look-will definitely be doing that one. Also, have heard of the Japanese tooth tattoos and think lip art is cool. I want to start playing around with lip art, am also digging the colored/pastel lips. However, I do agree that most of these won't be mainstream. Have seen more unnatural colored hair, nail art, and more colorful eyeshadow and brighter lips though in both IA and TX!
Here in Ohio crackle polish is as popular and numerous as Coach purses. Everybody AND their mom literally has it on.
I see crackle nail polish all the time! I cant go out with out seeing a girl with it. Walmart, out to dinner, friends of friends. So many companies are doing it now. I think its everywhere. and I dont even live in a big city.
I honestly don't think I'm going to see people lining above the crease of the eye like in Anna Sui. I also am not sure if Dior's stick on velvet liners are going to work. It's a good idea, but it's just kinda weird.
i think that line is very cool but w/ eyeshadow
At a mainstream level, I don't really see non-traditional colored lipstick gaining a lot of popularity any time soon. I think we'll keep on seeing them in art pieces and the occasional sub-culuturally mind person, but for the average woman, I don't see it catching on.
I don't think the crackle will ever be mainstream simply because for every person who loves it, it seems there are a few people who think it makes them look like teenagers. Every time clumpy mascara makes a trend run, I shudder. No.
Because more brands are make them I can see Crackle polishes still being used past this year. I find more that people prefer not to use blush but go with bronzer or highlight and contour shades. Blush will never disappear but people are like the polished look these product give that is more subtle.
You don't think crackle polish is mainstream? I don't know... to me it seems like everyone and their mothers have it these days! :p
I've never seen it on any one in person!
I wear it often and I've seen it on people in NY and they have it in nail salons here too!!
it seems so cool tho i haven't seen it here. i would try black one w/ a pink base
I live in a suburb outside NYC nail salons are using crackle and shatter.
i read somewhere that in japan tooth tattoos are becoming popular. no just no i think.
... Tooth tattoos? O_-
