Brow trends- hot or not?
Okay, it’s time- let’s talk brow trends.
Now, for some of our younger readers you may not recall the horrors or the joys of the 90’s and famed 2000s but for the rest of you, I’m sure you could never forget the pencil thin skinny brows. Whether it was the N shaped or the tadpole or just the single line we all did it.
Thankfully, we have seen so many brow trends since then! I think the best part of all of the different trends we have seen is that it’s opened up a whole new world in the realm of brows and given people so many options with how they can style them. We are finally seeing girls styling their brows to suit their face, not to the trends and that is so exciting to me! So many new products and services have been born out of the different styles as well.
So, what do we love and what do we not?
Brow Lamintation- I am a huge fan of this to a degree on other people! I unfortunately am sporting about 4 hairs in each brow so I can’t pull off a lami but I have seen it look amazing on others. I’m here for the fluffy look! I don’t think it suits every face but I love what the trend of it has done for our full brow girls!
2016 Instagram brows- Okay, as much as I do this for myself I actually don’t like this trend. The super dark, really structured brow is not a vibe. Let’s leave this one in 2016!
Eyebrow tattoo- I love a good brow tattoo! Microblading I think has absolutely changed the game. Like with all trends, we have seen some…. Maybe not so good but I think overall brow tattooing has been an awesome addition to the beauty industry and to peoples lives!
Brow stain/dye- Not a trenD but I think this product deserves some attention. The brow stain/dye products that have been one of the best things to come out of the trends in my opinion. Gone are the days of only having light or dark as colour options for your brow tints and also…. We have options for natural red heads now? Amazing, iconic, I love it! We have moved past henna tint throwing orange on blonde clients and now we have more predictable, consistent colour options for people and to say I’m obsessed is an understatement.
Shaved tails on the brows- Controversial one this one… It’s giving 90’s/2000’s goth but I’ve seen it make such a comeback in the last year with the rise of tiktok makeup styles and the resurgence of the emo/goth styling. I’m not convinced I love this one. I think it’s good if you’re committed to filling in your brows every day but I hate the idea of girls rolling around with little stubs for brows on their no makeup days. There is another huge part of me that really likes the lifted look of a straighter, flatter brow that can come from shaving the tails.
Bleached brows- I have big feelings about bleached brows. I hate them so much for so many reasons! I think it takes someone with a very specific style/type of look to be able to pull off a purposely bleached brow anddddd I don’t think many people do it well. Also, the idea of having regrowth IN YOUR EYEBROWS? Hate hate hate the thought. Even high profile, high fashion models like Kendall Jenner can’t pull it off… stop trying to make fetch happen, ya know?
Anyway, that's my current hot take on a few of the different brow trends. I hope this has inspired you to try something new… or not haha
