Brows | January 15, 2020
Almost everybody who is conscious of their looks knows how much eyebrows can make an impact on one’s face. Similar to fashion, eyebrow trends tend to shift. Thick or thin? Tweezers or a pencil? And the question remains: What are the upcoming eyebrow trends this 2020? This article is here to let you know about all the eyebrow fashion trends that you may want to know and consider this 2020.
The importance of eyebrows
As mentioned earlier, eyebrows can definitely make an impact on your look. Eyebrows are known to be one of the most prominent facial features. Not only do they accentuate the eyes and help in shaping the face, they play powerfully in expressing emotions. If you actually don’t think eyebrows are important, try searching up celebrities without their eyebrows and you’ll understand the power eyebrows actually have on your appearance.
The benefits of caring for your eyebrows
The following is a list of why caring for your eyebrows is important and how it can actually affect how you look.
- Younger look: Try seeing someone with bushy, unkempt eyebrows and then someone with fully groomed eyebrows and try guessing their ages. You would end up calling the younger of the two older mainly because of their unplucked and untrimmed brows which don’t seem to be cared for in ages. Note that well-groomed eyebrows are an anti-aging solution that not a lot of people know about. Well-groomed eyebrows that are perfectly plucked and filled in just right will inevitably lift up your face, create an appearance of wider eyes, and allow you to have a more youthful look.
- Accentuates your eyes: Priming shouldn’t be done for the sake of priming. It isn’t just about priming your eyebrows, it’s about carrying out the task right. There’s no standard guideline bout what a ‘right’ kind of eyebrow looks like, but there should be insight from your side. This is why you should ensure you know what shape your face is and think about what shape length and thickness you want to pursue. It would be advisable to consider the ongoing trends when making this choice.
- Refines your look: Most people underestimate how crucial it is to have well-kept eyebrows because they have no idea how simply groomed eyebrows can exude a polished look without the assistance of makeup. On the other hand, bushy and unkempt eyebrows without regular maintenance would make one look older and rough.
- Corrects flaws: Properly taken care of eyebrows can conceal one’s flaws. Flaws such as small eyes, hooded eyes, or eyes that are far apart. The appropriate kind of eyebrow shape can give both dimension and length to one’s eyes whilst also concealing flaws as if they were never there. Well maintained eyebrows not only look great but they give a clean and pleasing impression to people.
Due to how crucial eyebrows are in framing the face, it is important to get your brows taken care of by someone with experience. Our eyebrow clinic in Dubai houses professionals who may assist with this. Whether it’s wax or tint, or a more permanent option such as an eyebrow tattoo, our brow artists in BROWZ can listen and consult with you in reaching the eyebrow look most suited for your face.
Features to look out for
Texture: As of late, eyebrows have noticeably been slightly fluffy, going along with the brushed up brow trend. Including texture and a wispy look to the hairs with gels and soap should also be expected to be on point. Be reminded that with texture, more skin breaks through; hence, a dark, heavy brow would be avoided.
Highlights: Highlighting the brow hairs with the use of a gel or gloss would be expected this year. Light would be reflected using a brow gel that assists in adding gloss or sheen to the eyebrows.
Eyebrow color: This 2020, eyebrows don’t have to match with the color of your hair. Using a powder or pencil with a lighter shade than your natural eyebrow color may be an incoming trend. This look would be quite close to the fluffier, more transparent brow.
The 5 Eyebrow Looks to Consider
Without further ado, here are the 5 eyebrow looks to look out for this 2020:
The ‘almost’ mono-brow
A lot of us find ourselves plucking the strays from in between the eyebrows. But with this bold-yet-effortless look, it’s now time to embrace the naturally full brows. This looks features the brows being kept slightly closer in the middle for an even bushier appearance. It’s observed that brows closer together can give people the impression of a longer, slimmer nose.
The shadow brow
This look would need light powder through the center of the brow in giving the shadow effect which would help in adding dimension whilst still maintaining a natural look. This eyebrow look is all about having your natural brow texture take the spotlight, whilst also giving a soft definition and 3D texture, resulting in an effortless look in application and appearance.
The toned-down brow
If you feel that the bold, power brow look isn’t to your taste, you may want to consider the toned brown brow look. This look is described to have a more toned-down effect, where the brows are filled in lightly with a soft, slim eyebrow pencil that matches your hair’s natural shade.
A different but refreshing look from the too dark, big and bold brows that have been trending in the last few years, toned down brows give this seamlessly blended color under a shade and undertone that identifies with the complexion of the wearer.
The dewy brow
This look may sound weird to some but due to the glossy, glowing skin that trended last 2019, brows are now considered for the same glistening look. The word dewy doesn’t necessarily mean oily, but a look that gives the impression of radiant and healthy skin. A slick brow such as this would require wax-finish formulas and an ample amount of clear brow gel to set the hairs in place. Selecting a clear brow wax is highly advised in reaching this look, as well as reaching a dewy finish.
You can start by brushing through the brows with a spoolie and then shaping and filling using a wax pencil. Ensure the shape you want and add a layer of dew with a clear setting gel. A single coat is all that you need for it to hold the entire day.
The windswept brow
This brow is described to be in competition with the brushed up brow. This look has the brows more brushed up at the fronts with the rest of the brow brushed towards the temples, giving both texture and structure. You could start the new year by brushing your brows on a diagonal angle towards the temple. Doing this lengthens the brows, lifts the arch, and gives the look of a soft windswept brow. It would be highly advised that after filling your brows, you should brush through a clear setting gel to allow it to set and hold the hairs in place.
It’s all up to you
Despite the eyebrow trends going on, determining your own best shape and shade is of greater importance rather than following what this or that celebrity is wearing. What works for some people may not always work for you. If you aren’t sure what eyebrow shape and shade to select, don’t be shy to contact our professionals in BROWZ who have experienced eyes in telling you the kind of eyebrows suitable for your face. Note that BROWZ also offers other services such as eyebrow tattoos and lash extensions.
