There’s probably no Y2K trend as divisive as the thin eyebrow look. Over the past few years, as celebrities have made the effort to rebirth the style, people can’t quite decide if they love or hate it. Let’s face it, they look really striking on musicians or high fashion influencers, but should they stay on the runway? People aren’t entirely sure.
After having the harrowing experience of plucking eyebrow hairs away and praying for them to come back, many millennials hoped the trend would never return. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to style thin eyebrows that will keep you from making the same mistakes of the past. Here are the stars who are already thinning their brows or, better yet, drawing them on, in 2022.
Known for her unique takes on fashion, it’s totally understandable that Doja would jump on board the skinny eyebrows trend by completely shaving her brows off — making for some funky variations of the thin brow look.
Doja is now redefining the use of brow space, even drawing her own little pieces of art in place of a traditional ‘90s thin brow. She’s Gen Z’s Bob Ross.
Bella’s natural eyebrows have gotten thinner over the years, as she has been heavily plucking them and brushing them up.
During a recent shoot, she not only sported ulta-cool dip-dyed ends but also took her now thin eyebrows to a whole new level. Makeup artist Erin Parsons brushed up the inner corners and created a long extended line, lifting her face (not that she needs it).
When it comes to eyebrows, there’s perhaps no celebrity getting as experimental as Jazzelle Zanaughtti (@uglyworldwid). She often draws a thin line over her usually shaved eyebrows.
We love this thin yellow eyebrow and her recent barbed wire eyebrows. She knows how to make skinny arches fun.
Who can forget FKA Twigs’ The Face magazine cover shoot, with pencil-thin arched eyebrows drawn by makeup artist Daniel Sallstrom.
The artist also has pencil-thin brows for her feature on the Sum Bout U music video by 645AR.
Last year, Rihanna traded her usually well-groomed natural eyebrows again for a thinner look for Dazed.
Barbie’s 2021 Met Gala look was iconic for many reasons, one being the pearls, but her thin, drawn-on eyebrows brought a nostalgic element to the look.
The Euphoria star wore line eyebrows again in October 2021, this time with red roots and dark smokey eyes created by makeup artist Natalia Mantini.
Another Euphoria star, Alexa Demie, posted a glamorous shoot with penciled-in eyebrows, smokey eyeshadow, and dark lipstick.
At her 21st birthday party, which was Y2K-themed, Iris Law wore a full 2000s-inspired getup including thin eyebrows.
Laverne Cox has brought some memorable show-stopping looks to the red carpet over the years. Her 2022 Grammys look was especially unforgettable. The thin brows perfectly complimented her 1920s inspired outfit.
