The 10 worst beauty trends of the past 10 years

--Last week, while watching the season finales of two popular shows— 'Mad Men' and 'Jersey Shore'— we were struck by a significant and salient point: Women in the past looked better than we do today, like a WHOLE LOT BETTER. Sure, 'Mad Men' is a highly-stylized, fictional depiction of a bygone era, and the 'Jersey Shore' reflects the "reality" of a small and specific cultural subset (namely East Coast guidos). We also know not every woman in the '60s was perfectly coiffed and manicured and wearing the ideal shade of red lipstick and, to be fair, not all modern ladies walk around looking like Snooki, BUT—from Oompa Loompa skin to obnoxious breast augmentation to ratty extensions— the women of the 'Jersey Shore' represent quite a few of the ugliest beauty trends of the past decade.

It got us thinking of a sort of larger beauty timeline, about how a population of females can travel from that '60s-pulled-together-and-pretty appearance to, well, JWOWW. It made us ruminate on how the fresh-faced hippie look of the late '60s led to the sparkly-sex appeal of '70s disco, how disco begot over-the-top '80s power makeup, '90s grunge-chic followed, along with late-'90s sleek city girl (thanks Carrie Bradshaw!). Unlike these distinct trends, the aughts have seemed both identity-less and kind of ugly, more of an amalgamation of all of the decades (plus ones that came before them) and creepy modern innovations like spray tans and Botox. Don't believe us? Check out the decade's worst of the worst:
