Just when you thought you got the hang of the last beauty trend, another one rises to the top. It is hard work to be on-trend all the time because they are always changing. Gone are the days with perfectly shaped brows. You might be thinking the ’90s have returned, with thin eye brows and all. But, some celebrities in Hollywood have taken things to the extreme. They are sporting looks that contain no eyebrows whatsoever.
Eyebrows, or no eyebrows?
The latest trend of removing one’s eyebrows has been surfacing quite a lot recently. Hollywood stars like Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian leading the way with their bleached eyebrows. This beauty trend can be quite memorizing, in its unique way. For quite some time, it has been popular to have a set of thick brows forming your eyes like defined caterpillars. But, now it is becoming more and more popular to have no eyebrows.
This is not the first time that women have yearned for no eyebrows. Most trends are based on fashion statements from some time in our history. During the renaissance period, a woman was seen as beautiful and highly intelligent if they had a long forehead, seriously thin eyebrows, or no eyebrows at all. They would pluck the hairs from their hairline and brows to give themselves such an illusion. If you are struggling to picture this, just think of the Mona Lisa or The Girl With a Pearl Earring.
Trendy makeup artists
Makeup artists all around Hollywood are being requested to bleach their client’s eyebrows. That is if they hadn’t shaved them off already. A 22-year-old makeup artist called Stella Chiara has been sporting the trendy no-eyebrow look for about one year already (a true pioneer). She says that in the last month, she has been asked by many clients for a similar look. According to a study done on the searches on Pinterest, 85% more people are researching “bleached eyebrows”. Then 30% more are searching for “no eyebrows”.

It’s going to be cute—watch this.’”
On makeup artists and digital content creator, Mei Pang, 26, bleached her eyebrows and said, “I look like an egg.” she also warned those wanting to try out the look that the bleach tends to burn your skin.
