All eyes are on the brows with all of this mask-wearing! This year saw a surge in brow trends and makeup releases, with online instructions, at-home procedures, and social media (hello, TikTok) directions emphasising shape and style. From natural looks inspired by our many months inside to strong brows making a comeback on the runway, here are our top 5 brow trends and how to get them right now.
- Brows with Fluffy, Feathered Brows
Many people have recently discovered a renewed admiration for natural-looking brows. Because brow volume and fullness frame the eyes and showcase our most outstanding features, fluffy, feathery, natural-looking brows help produce a more youthful appearance. In addition, fuller-looking brows are attractive for all ages and facial types, are simple to style and don’t require much maintenance as you are working on your natural brow shape.
To accomplish the look, use a coloured brow gel with the thicker section of the wand, in short, upward strokes to pick up brow hair, building up fullness from the centre of the Brow before going outwards towards the tail. Fill in gaps and form the brow tail with short strokes of the wand’s tip.
Rodan Fields Product: Brow Defining Boost is a multi-tasking brow gel with buildable coverage for fast and long-term results. The gel is created with our exclusive Lash Boost Technology and Castor Oil to nourish brows, resulting in thicker, fuller, and fluffier-looking brows with continued use. Furthermore, its coloured fibres instantly provide volume, fullness, and definition while providing buildable coverage. Easy to implement in your current makeup routine.
With the edgy laminated look, you may achieve smooth, gorgeous brows. Laminated brows appear smooth, straight, and glossy and are laid flat against the face (much like laminated paper).
The popular brow treatment in salons (the treatment can last up to 12 months! ) is also doable at home with a few tools and items such as perming solution and cling film. Sweeping the brow hairs upwards vertically with a brow brush and cutting the top with brow scissors makes the hair seem straight. This is easy as lamination eliminates this step in your makeup routine.
After that, solutions are applied to the brows and covered with film to fix the brows for approximately 10 minutes for every application. In general, newly laminated brows should not be moist or have makeup applied to them for at least 24 hours following the treatment.
Laminated brows appear extremely polished and bold and are easiest to produce if you have enough brows to work with. However, like any salon service, the style necessitates a certain level of effort and upkeep to get the desired results.
The geolift brow trend strikes the perfect combination of sculpted and natural-looking. Brows are swept around to create a fringed effect, but only on top. Below the Brow, the hair is sleek and tidy, with a slight arch in the back.
Gaining popularity due to its masculine-feminine balance and versatility for styling with and without makeup. It’s all about adding lift and geometry to the upper areas of the face (bonus: a quick eye lift!)
The geolift form is simple to achieve with an essential brow brush, clear or coloured brow gel, and basic Brow shaping tools like tweezers or wax. Recommending that you avoid tweezing, waxing, and threading for a few weeks to let your natural Brow acquire shape, then remove only the bottom hair of the Brow to produce that streamlined shape.
This brow style is currently trending in beauty magazines and features a sleek yet natural-looking brow style.
The straight brow trend is a new (and ferocious) approach to frame your face. Straight brows sweep into a diagonal line from front to back, adding a bit of edge to your face, with little to no arch in the centre.
For people like me who don’t tweeze, wax, or thread their brows frequently, the form comes naturally, making it a simple trend to try with a bit of preparation.
Brush your brows up and back and pluck stray hairs from the bottom arch only once they have grown out enough to play with. Then, to enhance the look and add a little extra colour or gloss, use a clear or tinted brow gel to keep brows in place.
The straight brow trend is terrific for those who prefer to have a bit of an edge with their makeup and style, and it’s a great way to frame your eyes to make them stand out. Most people can create this look at home using tweezers or informing their waxer or threader of their prefered shape.
Just make sure you have enough brow growth for them to work with when you arrive for your appointment.
The shadow brow trend adds volume and density to your brows. This trend is popular among those who wear their brows darker than their hair or wish to build their brow form to be more defined and less sparse.
I accomplish this by adding the coloured powder to cast a “shadow” beneath your natural brow hairs to create the illusion of more prominent brows. Using a brow brush, apply natural brow powder (not eye shadow) in a shade that matches your natural hue in short strokes from front to back.
If I want to add even more dimension and texture, run back over the brow hairs with a sharp eyeliner or brow pencil, producing trim sweeping lines. To finish, use a clear primer or gel to tame the brows.
