5 Years of Eyebrow Trends

By Angela Garrity, Guest blogger

Hollywood has seen its share of eyebrow trends since 2015, when everyone was introduced to the “Instagram Brow”. On fleek became more than just a hashtag; it ushered in a revolution change on the social media platform where everyone was happy to share pictures and videos of their brows with the world.

Not much has changed as far as sharing looks, however the brow trends themselves have come and gone over the years.  

The trend in 2015 was for brows to be flawlessly brushed up at the beginning and then blended into a well-defined arch all the way to the end.  See "New Eyebrow Tutorial 2015 by Desi Perkins" @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5ifKXxYaY

 2016 presented itself lightly, as many chose the new brow trend of bleaching beginning this year. People opted away from plucking, waxing and sculpting and this alternative eye trend paired up with wispy brows.

Feathered eyebrows were just the beginning to spread out in 2017 and they were flocked to by the beauty-fixated en masse. This year also gave us a glimpse at other unusual trends that include barbed wire brows, lighting bolt brows, boxed brows, wavy brows, and rainbow brows.  See "Unique Eyebrow Trends @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aY9LSuU-AE.

In 2018, people were going for bejeweled, fishtail, emoji, dip-dyed arches and halo brows. These trends were definitely worn by the bold.  See "How To: Top 3 Best Brow Style by Desi Perkins" @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nq_XAhcbyg&t=98s

In 2019, brows seemed to come back around to softer looks such as feathery textures, high and bright, straight tails, au naturale and soft arches were spotted everywhere.  See "15 Amazing Eyebrow Transformations" @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5xG59LHfbI  

Welcome to 2020 where brows will be darkened, grown out or even display a wet-look.
