#RIP Brows – All The Barely-There Brow Trends Taking Over RN
Real talk: where did all the brows go? If you had asked us two years ago if we’d ever considered shaving off our brows, we would have answered very, very quickly with a definitive “errr?! Hell no!” But that’s the thing about trends; before their time, they can make you feel uncomfortable, and that’s definitely the case with the new wave of brow trends. Bleached, shaved, barely there, and super skinny – four brow looks our laminated brows could never have foreseen, but guess what? They’re making it big, and they’re coming for your next brow appointment. Here’s the tea…
1. Bleached Brows

Bleached brows have been cropping up for the past two years, led by the likes of Cynthia Erivo, Bella Hadid, and most recently, Kim Kardashian. They radiate this edgy, punk energy that’s oh, so hawt RN.

Grungy beauty looks like bleached brows paired with smokey eyes or deep vampy lips were all over the Spring/Summer 2023 runway at shows like Vivienne Westwood, Givenchy, and Roberto Cavalli, which is just another indicator that the trend is here to stay for the foreseeable. Not to mention it was scattered across the FROW.

Now we’re getting into the thick of it – or should we say lack of it. Over the past month, on the runways and on the FROW, shaved brows have entered the chat. Look, we’re not going to finesse you into thinking that it’s not a commitment – you’re really committing with this trend.

One major bonus of this brow vibe? It gives you space to experiment with tons of other brow looks to play with, as you essentially have a blank canvas.

3. Barely-There Brows

If you considering dipping your toe into this brow era, consider the barely there brow. It’s naked and minimal but still visible and fluffy, kinda like the more discreet sister of feathered brows. Celebs like Kylie have experimented with this look, and we love it. It’s soft, feminine, and yet simultaneously has a hint of edge.

If there’s one woman single-handedly leading this trend, it’s the ICONIC Doja Cat. After shaving off her brows, she’s been PLAYIN’, adorning her skinny arches with flowers and piercings – whatever will complement her mood or ‘fit.

We couldn’t be more obsessed – she’s using makeup and her brows as a creative outlet, and we live for that sh*t!

Okay so now you’ve seen the trends, let’s discuss them: Would you commit to any of these looks? Honestly, we may play a little with faux-bleached brows, but brows are a key feature; they frame your face and add definition. Laminated, full, and feathered brows have cemented a dear spot in our hearts, so, truthfully, we’re not sure. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
