It’s all in the brow right now: The evolution of eyebrows through decades and the top trends
New trends are born on Instagram everyday and they interest some and some just choose to react to it and not try it out. Quirky eyebrow trends are big on Instagram right now and we aren’t complaining
Having the perfect eyebrow shape can really define your face and highlight your best features. The beauty trends keep us hooked all the time, thanks to social media as the viral tips never cease to fascinate us. New trends are born on Instagram everyday and they interest some and some just choose to react to it and not try it out. What’s fascinating is that we are going back to some thousand- year-old notions of beauty and facial features.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the eyes were thickly lined with kohl, drawn to perfection with black oxide and carbon which also meant that the brows need to be equally prominent. The brows were heavily elongated, arched and darkened to compliment the eye make-up. It was an homage paid to Egyptian deity Horus. For Roman women, the easygoing uni-brow turned out to be the most desirable features practiced by the most notorious women in the society. It also represented a sharp mind. During the Elizabethan era, many dyed their eyebrows with tints of red while some barely had any due to heavy plucking to enhance their forehead. As time progressed, the needle thin brows, dramatic arched brows got attention. During the 70s, natural brows were back and 80s further believed in keeping it natural with thick ones making a strong statement for women. Nineties again saw the return of the sleek eyebrows. Currently, textured eyebrows are making a comeback with defining the brows by giving it volume rather than thinning it.
Just like fashion, beauty also has many branched definitions now. It’s not only in the eyes of the beholder now. The black mirror tells you what’s in and what’s out. Not many hesitate to try something different now. For instance, there is some much happening with brows right now. The thin, neat brows are out now and we are going back to the basics.
