Squiggle eyebrows have nothing on this new makeup trend.

Beauty bloggers have stepped up makeup artistry to a new (and puzzling) level. Introducing, the reverse-winged eyeliner. And don’t worry-- we’re just as confused as you are.

Reverse cat eyeliner is an experiment-turned-trend by 18-year-old Romanian makeup artist Dahlia, also known as Dahlia Creates on Instagram.

As if doing winged eyeliner wasn’t hard enough, in order to successfully create the perfect reverse liner, you must draw the end of the flick on the eye's inner corner, making sure not to poke yourself in the process.

If you want to take it a step further, you could also pair it with a reverse eyebrow because why not, right?

We still don't know what to make of this new, weird trend. Is it something that we would want to do ourselves? Do we even think it looks good? There's just no way to tell.

So maybe just make it stop, already.
