Latest Obsession: Eyebrows

The thicker and fuller eyebrow is back! Don't worry, I am aware that this reborn trend has been existent for quite some time now but I've only become obsessed with it so recently. Some may arguably say the true trend started in the 50s-60s with actresses, such as Audrey Hepburn, then regained popularity in the 90s with Brooke Shield's iconic brow. However, there was a big gap between that time, and for the past couple years, thicker brows are the way to go. 
The new craze for popular eyebrows has been popularized by the likes of:

 Lucy Hale


Lily Collins


And the one who really solidified this trend, British model, Cara Delevigne

When it comes to eyebrows, I have always favoured the most natural looking one(which is why I am so glad that this trend came back). This means no over-shaping and such, just trying to stick  to your most natural shape(which will always look better). I was quite blessed to have naturally thickish eyebrows(they aren't unbearably thick either) but there was a time where I thought that was quite annoying and embarrassing. But with these new trends, I think it's a fantastic place to highlight. Something about having a full brow makes you more confident, perhaps because it is such an essential part of our facial features and completes your look, even if you aren't wearing any makeup. Maybe now I'll be able to use a strong brow to avoid wearing excess makeup, just like Cara Delevigne often does. Either way, I'm hoping this trend is one to stay.
