It could be said that eyebrow trends are the ultimate marker of a beauty era. After all, eyebrows are one of the most defining features of the face.
From the ultra-strong brows of Ancient Egyptian Queens to the super-model sleek thin brows of the 1990s, there have certainly been a lot of trends over the centuries.
For 2023, wearable eyebrow trends continue to evolve, offering not just one age-defining style but 5. At least on our list of the best brow trends for this year!
And the best thing about it? There is a wearable eyebrow trend for everyone. So if you hated plucking your brows in the 90s and 00s, then worry not because there is more to brow trends this year than meets the eye.
If you are looking to switch up your eyebrow style, then listen up because we have the 5 hottest trends that you will love in 2023.
Natural, laminated, straight, thin and coloured- no matter what kind of brows you have, you are bound to find your dream brow style in no time.
Natural brows are always in style no matter what other trends come and go. For 2023, they’re promising to be even more popular, with more and more people looking to embrace their natural beauty.
The trend works simply by enhancing your unique features without overwhelming them, excessively grooming them or using heavy makeup.
Instead, light powders, pencils and gels are used to fill in any gaps and add that extra definition, without adding in harsh lines.
The best way to achieve the perfect natural brow is to keep maintenance to a minimum. In terms of products, this is the easiest trend you will ever have to do and one that will give you the results you are looking for.
To get it right, simply use a pencil or powder to brush the product through your brows. To simplify the process even more if you have full brows, brush a gel or tinted brow gel through your brows.
It’s effortless, saves time and always looks gorgeous.
Laminated brows have taken the beauty world by storm in recent years and are set to continue their reign in 2023.
The trend works by using a special chemical solution that is applied to the hair of the brows. The brow hairs are then brushed upwards and are set in place for longer-term results that can last for weeks.
Laminated brows, therefore, give the effect of naturally thick, bushier brows that have been groomed into place. It’s a high-impact look with little need for daily upkeep.
Of course for longer-term results, you can see a brow specialist to get it done. But did you know that you can replicate the laminated brow look at home too?
Also known as ‘soap-brows’ a gel, paste or even household soap can be used to brush the brows upwards and give you that bold look that is hot with celebs and social media influencers everywhere right now.
Likewise, there are also laminated brow solutions you can buy and apply yourself. So if you don’t want to pay big bucks on a regular basis, the laminated brow trend can be a straightforward and cost-effective trend to DIY at home.
The straight brow trend focuses on creating a dynamic brow that has no/little arch or curve. While a thoroughly contemporary style that breaks away from traditional shapes, this is no new trend.
The style, most noticeably made famous by silver screen stars such as Audrey Hepburn, is today a favourite with celebs such as Lilly Collins and Arianna Grande.
In fact, a lot of people are naturally blessed with gorgeous straight brows. But if that’s not you, you can still get the edgy wearable look at home with a few simple tips and tricks.
To get the look easily at home, straight brows can be achieved by brushing the hairs in a horizontal direction and using a brow gel to set.
To add even more definition into the brows, you can also carve extra shape into your look by using concealer along the shape of your brow. This will add in that sharpness the straight brow is so well known for.
Love it or loathe it, thin brows are back with a bang in 2023. And here’s the thing, thin brows are gorgeous.
It just so happens that the last time they were popular in the 1990s, people were over-plucking and maintaining their brows to keep up with the trend.
Which subsequently caused many to discover later on that their natural brows would not grow back to their full capacity.
The thin brow trend in 2023, therefore, is less about plucking your brows into oblivion and more about embracing a sleeker style.
This can be as simple as using less product to keep eyebrows sleek. Keeping the natural shape of your brows is always more important than taking part in certain trends.
And so it is great that the thin brows of 2023 champion embracing your natural shape, rather than getting rid of the essence of your brow features. For that reason, we are all for the thin brows of 2023.
Coloured brows are not only one of the most original and bold trends on the list, they’re also one of the most fun.
If you are ready to amp up your makeup and make a statement, then why not try out coloured brows? You can be as creative as you want with this trend too.
So think of bright colours that match your eye-makeup, or just a hint of colour for high-drama/ high-glamour.
Luckily, coloured brows are also a super easy trend to recreate yourself and you can use products you already have to hand.
For more subtle results, you can quite easily brush a high-pigmented eyeshadow through your brows, in place of your normal brow shade. It really is as simple as that.
For bolder looks, try adding a waterproof coloured eyeliner to your brows, for colour and definition. So there you have it, 5 wearable eyebrow trends with something for everyone. No matter your preference.
From naturally beautiful to high-impact colours, there is definitely a trend for everyone out there.
Whether you’ve found one you already love or are looking to mix it up with a newly discovered eyebrow trend on our list, this year, there’s so much more for wearable eye-brow trends than ever before and we are here for the next great eye
