Unicorn hair and terms like “eyebrows on fleek” may be fading, but bold brows and highlights of natural hair colors are here to stay. These beauty tips are nothing new, but as internet gurus continue to lead the beauty world, these throwbacks are making a comeback.
This Fashionista wore a simple outfit and let her brows do all the talking. One great thing about bold brows is that they fall under the “fake it ‘til you make it” category, go with just about everything and they can be achieved within minutes. There’s something about well-groomed brows that pull an entire look together which makes this look ideal for anyone, including those that never feel like getting ready in the morning. Bold brows work with a bare face as this Fashionista proves, making them look natural enough to challenge the likes of Cara Delevingne and Lily Collins. Brows have a certain “je ne sais quoi” and add definition to one’s natural features—if you need a little more proof, look up Brooke Shields and Jennifer Connelly in their teenage years. On the other hand, bold brows can also make the jump from day to night and add an extra dramatic flare to accompany red lips and a full face.
Although bold brows are currently dominating in pop culture, some beauties are still too friendly with their tweezers to say goodbye just yet. If that’s how you’re feeling, you can still go for one other feature this Fashionista showcased: highlighted hair. The beautiful thing about this is that it isn’t a complete commitment of going with another color and unlike beach waves or spirals, no extra early alarms are required daily because highlights work with any texture of hair.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? The brows can be achieved in a variety of ways, including the use of a pencil, palette or gel—however you choose, make sure you’re equipped with a brow brush to maintain your desired shape, and don’t forget to highlight! To highlight your hair, a semi-permanent option is ideal. With temporary dyes, you can play around and find what suits you, but because they wash out on the same day, you would have to put it right back in the next morning. Follow our Fashionista’s footsteps and find a contrasting natural color to add one thick streak to your hair. If you’re feeling extra bold, take a cue from X-Men’s Rogue and use this opportunity to add some color to your life.
