"In honor of the last few days of 2012, I polled my favorite hairstylist, makeup artists and Glamour bloggers to find out which beauty trends they&amp;#x27;d like to retire going into the new year. Which do you agree/disagree with? 12. Tinkerbell blushes A little shimmer or sheen is one thing, but enough with the blushes that have visible chunks of glitter. &amp;quot;It looks harsh, bringing out wrinkles and pores and all your skin&amp;#x27;s textures,&amp;quot; says makeup artist Nick Barose. &amp;quot;If it&amp;#x27;s daylight out, I don&amp;#x27;t wanna see people wearing sparkly cheeks unless your name is Beyonce and you have a music video you&amp;#x27;re about to shoot.&amp;quot; 11. Lip-plumping products These seemed so promising way back when they first came out, but we&amp;#x27;ve long since figured out that they do next to nothing to fatten our lips--so maybe it&amp;#x27;s time we gave up on the concept already? &amp;quot;All they do is irritate your lips,&amp;quot; says makeup artist Carmindy. &amp;quot;Instead just trace your lips with a highlighter for a fuller look.&amp;quot; 10. Stupid nail art. OK, by now we&amp;#x27;ve realized there are all kinds of crazy things that we can glue to nails. But just because we CAN doesn&amp;#x27;t mean we should. Sprinkle manicures--like this one that Katy Perry showed off on Twitter--come to mind. 9. Half-shaved hairstyles This trend, which pops up now and again, had a sudden, major moment in Hollywood this year--but my co-blogger Beth is not feeling it: &amp;quot;All I can think is how the heck are these girls going to grow that side out? It&amp;#x27;s so silly.&amp;quot; 8. Skin-colored lipstick A perfect pale nude is so pretty, but those skin-colored lips flatter nobody. &amp;quot;Lips that are lighter than your skintone can wash you out, and nude lipsticks that are too thick can end up looking like you&amp;#x27;re wearing concealer on your mouth,&amp;quot; Nick Barose says. &amp;quot;Look for one thats not too matte or too opaque and it should have a hint of peach or pink in it to avoid looking too beige.&amp;quot; 7. Matte skin It&amp;#x27;s good to mute those super-shiny zones, but totally matte skin looks weird outside of magazines and the runway. &amp;quot;There&amp;#x27;s no dimension to the skin; it ages the person and makes the skin look too flat,&amp;quot; says celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh. 6. The ball--of-hair top knot Do I even need to elaborate on this one? When even Beyonce doesn&amp;#x27;t look good in a hairstyle, it&amp;#x27;s just not a good look. 5. Dyed-gray hair We LOVE that the idea of going gray gracefully and naturally is making a big comeback. But dyeing your hair prematurely gray? That&amp;#x27;s just weird. There are so many more fun colors to choose these days if you want to experiment a bit! 4. Black nail polish While we enjoy dark-dark red, purple and blue nail polish, Beth looks forward to gloating when she can finally declare stark black totally dead--since she predicted its demise back in May. 3. The cat eye Yes, it&amp;#x27;s classic and forever sexy, but it&amp;#x27;s gotten a little overexposed lately. Maybe we should just lay off for a little while. &amp;quot;Let&amp;#x27;s give the cat eye a rest,&amp;quot; says makeup artist Tim Quinn. &amp;quot;It had its moment but let&amp;#x27;s move on--the defined lashline is so chic for spring.&amp;quot; 2. Ombre Personally I would be happy never to hear this word spoken again, as pretty as gradual-fade nail polish and blond highlights looked for a while there. And it appears some big names in beauty are over ombre as well. &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;d like to see ombre haircolor die a slow death,&amp;quot; admits hairstylist Ted Gibson. And the NUMBER ONE beauty trend Glamour editors and makeup pros alike want to say goodbye to in 2013 ... 1. Tarantula-sized eyelashes! Probably half the editors and pros I polled mentioned hating the XXL super-faux eyelashes that have attacked the red carpet in the past few years. &amp;quot;They kind of scare me,&amp;quot; says our own Megan Gustashaw. And yet another Glamour blogger, Kim Fusaro, adds: &amp;quot;I blame the Kardashian family. If it looks like a pair of tarantulas are hitching a ride on your eyelids, take it down a notch.&amp;quot; Sage advice. Do you passionately agree or disagree with any of the items on our list of beauty trends that we&amp;#x27;d like to see disappear in 2012? Tell us below!
