The last ten years is undoubtedly the decade of the brow. We have made a long departure from the embarrassingly thin, pencil-drawn eyebrow era of the 90s (a la Kate Moss) to a natural, more fuller-looking brows of the 2010s. Fuller brows or a ‘strong brow game,’ reflects youth and vitality. It no surprise why women have been craving thicker and darker brows these days and looking up to celebs like Cara Delavigne and Sophie Vergara have always rocked the thick brows. Today, we have an array of makeup products, catering specifically to the eyebrows. Eyebrow growth serums have also been flying off the shelves ever since the beauty world embraced natural-looking brows.
But trust the internet to take a good thing and make it much weirder. This, unfortunately, also happens to be the era of Instagram eyebrows. Influencers capitalising on the brow brouhaha have launched some of the weirdest eyebrow trends of the social media. These Instagrammers show us that the furthest your eyebrows look from how God meant it to be, the better it is. Here are some of the weirdest, edgiest and wackiest eyebrow trends of Instagram.
1 Halo Eyebrows
The newest among the weird-brow trends is halo brows, guaranteed to make you feel squeamish inside. Also called as the reverse unibrow, the trend involves joining the outer ends of your eyebrows to form a halo-like abomination between your forehead.
2 Feather Eyebrows
As the name suggests, this trend involves using a tonne of products to shape your eyebrows into looking like a plume. First, apply some sticky product like a hair gel or glue to your eyebrows. Make a crease right in the centre of the eyebrow and fan the hair outwards with the mascara brush. Good luck if you can pull off this look.
3 Boxed Eyebrows
It may seem as if the brows were shaved in places to create a “boxed” look. But the makeup artist has simply glued her eyebrows down and drew boxes along her eyebrows to create this look.
4 Crown Eyebrows
To give a touch of regal grandeur to your face, try the crown eyebrow trend. Like the others, it involves copious amounts of gel or Vaseline to style sections of the brows upwards like spikes of a crown and sticking a glittering rhinestone on each of those spikes.
