This could be majorly bad news for anyone who's dropped a chunk of change towards achieving perfectly bold brows — or God forbid, gotten an eyebrow transplant. It appears possible that skinny brows might be making their way back in fashion. The Cut muses on less-than-bold brows after taking in the beauty look from yesterday's Marc Jacobs show. There wasn't a Cara Delevingne-esque brow to be seen among any of the models. Marc Jacobs makeup artist Francois Nars told The Cut that he wanted to do something different for the show, saying, "We didn’t groom them. I like when they aren’t even brushed."
One could dismiss this as coincidence, but Vogue.com also just posted a "thin brow is in" story today. The post is titled "Is the Skinny Brow Poised for a Comeback? A Compelling Case for Breaking Out the Tweezers," and writer Alexandra Pechman advocates for really skinny drawn-on brows, as in Greta Garbo skinny. Vogue's website seems a bit contrarian lately, between this and declaring belly button rings to be in again.
