Eyebrows have always been a hot topic of conversation.
Much like other beauty styles, brow looks go in and out of fashion. In the ’20s, droopy, thin and drawn on eyebrows were very on-trend, then the ’40s were all about natural brows, then to slightly manicured in the ’50s, and then the barely-there eyebrow trend swept through the early 2000s. And today? It’s a bit of everything.
Models like Cara Delevingne, Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Sophia Hadjipanteli coming onto the high fashion scene with statement brows, paved the way for where we are today: embracing our natural brows.
Unlike in eras before us, there’s more than one style of eyebrow that’s deemed fashionable right now.
