The Latest Beauty Trend Is Bleached Brows: Would You Try It?

Unfortunately, if you’re a mere mortal (i.e. not a runway model with exquisite bone structure), bleached brows aren’t exactly the most flattering. “Brows frame the face, so when they’re not there, that can make the forehead look disproportionately big,” says Healy. “You can end up looking expressionless or like an alien. That might work on the runway, but when a regular person does it, their face can look flat and one dimensional.”

Still, if you want lighter brows—without looking like a weirdo—you can do a toned-down version of this trend sans bleach. Just use a pencil in a blonde hue. “Pencils have a wax base that will lightly envelop the individual hairs,” says Healy. Try Joey Healy Brow Architect Stylos in Wicker ($25, joeyhealy.com), a honey-blonde shade. All you have to do is lightly massage the pencil through your brows to get the effect.
