Gen Z Embraces the Return of Thin Eyebrows
- Gen Z is bringing back the '90s beauty trend of thin eyebrows.
- Beauty experts are alarmed as big bushy brows are going out of style.
- Thin eyebrows popularized by celebrities like Cara Delevingne and Zoe Kravitz are making a comeback.
In a surprising shift in beauty trends, Generation Z is reviving the 90s-inspired look of thin, sculpted eyebrows, moving away from the bushy brows popularized by celebrities like Cara Delevingne and Zoe Kravitz. British brow artist Hollie Parkes noted that this new trend emphasizes accentuating facial features rather than achieving a pencil-thin appearance. The resurgence of the skinny brow has been prominently featured on social media and fashion runways, including the recent Maison Margiela show at Paris Fashion Week, where models sported an illusion of barely-there brows. Despite the trend's popularity among models and celebrities, experts caution that such looks may not translate well to everyone. Parkes advises those considering a brow makeover to consult with a professional to ensure the style complements their unique facial structure. Kamini Vaghela, a seasoned brow expert with over 35 years of experience, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that beauty standards should not be blindly followed. She believes that individual suitability is paramount, as no single brow shape can flatter everyone. Vaghela also reminisced about iconic beauty figures like Twiggy, whose thin brows suited her distinct features. For those looking to enhance their brows rather than slim them down, she recommends using castor oil or other oils at night to stimulate hair growth and maintain softness. "Oil is good for stimulating eyebrow hair and it keeps them soft," she stated, calling it "magic."
