In recent years, facial hair has become a huge fashion trend, from the mustache to the bushy beard and beyond. Whether they are actors, musicians, athletes, or even internet and TV personalities, it seems that everyone who's anyone has experimented with facial hair as a way to innovate their look.

But, despite the fact that many people believe facial hair can only improve your look—and it's often referred to as "makeup for men"—that's not always the case.

As you will see in the following gallery, these men, for one reason or another, made bold moves with their razors or ditched them when they needed them most, and they ended up looking messy, bizarre, or even like a different person.

Don't believe it? Take a look!

▲In 2009 the actor decided to use this, what could loosely be called, 'style.' It ended up being the least stylish thing possible.

▲

The actor looks almost unrecognizable with this scruffy look.

▲

Before he grew in his full beard, Jonah Hill had this strange gradient growing on his face.

▲

The usually bare-faced Jim Carrey sported this almost artificial-looking puffy beard of brown and gray.

▲Having a beard that is too long can actually detract from a man's overall appearance, as is demonstrated by this image of the famous actor.

▲

Captain America looks more like a middle school gym teacher from the '70s with this handlebar mustache.

▲Is there such a thing as too much beard? Apparently there is.

▲We're going to hope that a tragedy like this never repeats itself... what was he thinking?

▲We are already accustomed to the actor's style of beard, however in this situation, the goatee has grown a little long.

▲Every time the singer tries to let his facial hair grow, the result is always this...

▲

This stringy mustache was a definite low-point for this pop star's facial hair career.

▲Perhaps this look is so jarring because the TV host's face had been bare for so long, but it's fair to say it's a wee bit unruly.

▲In 2003 the actor thought that this was going to be a good thing for his appearance... It seems he's learned his lesson, as this horrendous mustache never made a repeat performance.

▲Facial hair patterns never really work out, but this one is especially atrocious. It does definitely give him a 'special' look.

▲The actor has had some good looking beards in the past, but this isn't one of them. It looks as if he just woke up and completely forgot about personal hygiene.

▲Why would he just have that little bit of beard there? Seriously, who on earth would think that looks good?

▲In 2010 the actor had to use this beard for a particular role, but then he liked it so much that he ended up keeping it.

▲

Brad Pitt could be one of the best looking people in the world, but that doesn't mean he hasn't had a few flops, such as this beard.

▲This type of beard decidedly does not favor the charming actor. At least he never repeated the look.

▲Before getting a full beard, the singer tried out this style...which didn't work out to well.

▲Bill Murray's face is too recognizable to have a beard on top of it. Not only that, but this makes him look at least ten years older.

▲The singer let his beard grow just a bit too much. Though he looks great with a 5 o'clock shadow, the beard doesn't work quite as well.

▲The actor just seems a little unkempt, doesn't he?

▲The same could be said for James Franco and this disorganized beard.

▲A mustache is a very difficult look to pull off, and no, he hasn't succeeded.

▲John is one of those men that looks much better without a beard, right?

▲He looks like a villain out of a 90s action film.

▲Let's be clear on this. There are some men that should, under no circumstances, try to grow facial hair.

▲Yet another example of a beard that's become way too long, and just ends up looking unkempt.

▲Despite this look actually being for a character, we have to admit that this Tom really isn't looking his best.

▲Even the actor himself looks unhappy, and we think we know why.

▲Despite the fact that he's now cut it, the famous host spent way too much time with this soul patch.

▲If Adam had bothered to ensure the beard stayed solely on his face and didn't drift down his neck, maybe the result would have been better.

▲If you're going to have that little, you may as well not have anything at all.

▲

Maybe he was undecided? It seems like he wanted a beard, but the beard didn't feel like growing in certain spots.
