This Is How Fashion Girls Are Doing Their Eyebrows Right Now

We're not sure when brow mania as we know it began. Perhaps it was when Cara Delevingne came on the scene with her bushy, fluffy eyebrows that made all of us collectively throw our tweezers in the trash can in haste. Or maybe it was even further back in the 1990s when leading ladies like Winona Ryder and Drew Barrymore somehow convinced us that pencil thin was in. Suffice it to say brows have always played an important part in our beauty routines, and often, observing how other women are wearing their brows can serve as major inspiration.

After a quick survey, a fuller brow is decidedly still the choice du jour among fashion girls. Some of you are blessed with naturally voluminous brows, but for many of us have to turn to a little help from the makeup gods (no shame). Within the bushy-brow genre, as you'll see below, there are approaches ranging from dramatic arches to au naturel to super-pigmented looks. There's a lot going on, and it's time for you to get in on the action. Ahead, see how 10 fashion girls are approaching the full brow right now, and shop the best products on the market to get going on your next strong brow.
