Brow trends come and go. From the bold, sculpted brows of 2017 to the more recent trend of natural, fluffy brows, our approach to brow grooming reflects broader shifts in beauty standards. Remember the days when every beauty influencer was carving out their brows with precision? It’s fascinating to see how trends evolve and bring new products into the spotlight. Today, we’re comparing two iconic brow looks: the fluffy brow and the sculpted, blocky brow. Let’s dive into the details and discover how to achieve each look using the latest tools and products.

The Fluffy Brow Trend

The fluffy brow is all about embracing your natural brow shape and texture. This look is characterized by fuller, feathery brows that appear effortlessly groomed. Here’s how to achieve this trendy look:

How to Achieve the Fluffy Brow Trend

  1. Start with Clean Brows: Ensure your brows are clean and free from any makeup or oils.
  2. Brush Upwards: Use a spoolie brush to comb your brow hairs upward.
  3. Set with Gel: Apply our Fluffy Brow Gel to set the hairs in place, brushing them upwards for that feathery effect.

 

Benefits to Brow Hair

Fluffy brow products often contain nourishing ingredients that benefit your brow hairs. Our Fluffy Brow gel contains Castor Oil and Vitamin E, which promote healthy hair growth and strengthen your brows over time.

Makeup to Compliment

Pair your fluffy brows with dewy skin, soft eyeshadow, and a natural lip colour. This look is all about fresh, effortless beauty, so opt for lightweight, glowy products that enhance your natural features.

 The Sculpted Brow Trend

The sculpted, blocky brow trend was everywhere in 2016, characterized by sharp lines and bold definition. While this look may seem dated, it can still be adapted to suit modern makeup styles. Here’s how to achieve and update the sculpted brow:

How to Achieve the Sculpted Brow

  1. Outline Your Brows: Use our Micro Eyebrow Precision Pencil to outline your desired brow shape.
  2. Fill In: Fill in your brows with a focus on creating a solid, defined shape.
  3. Conceal for Precision: Use a concealer to clean up the edges of your brows, applying it with a flat brush for a sharp, precise look. Then go in with our Spotlight Highlighter Pencil for added brightness.

 

Modern Sculpted Brow

To avoid brow blindness  (where brows appear too harsh or overpowering), soften your sculpted brows with these tips:

- Blend, Blend, Blend: Blend the edges of your brows with a spoolie to soften the lines.

- Use Lighter Strokes: Apply your brow product with lighter strokes to create a more natural gradient.

- Pair with Modern Makeup: Keep the rest of your makeup light and fresh. Think natural-looking foundation, soft eyeshadow shades, and a neutral lip colour.

Makeup to Compliment

For a contemporary twist on the sculpted brow trend, pair it with soft, and a nude pink lip, and subtle wing courtesy of our Black Magic: Cocoa Edit Liquid Eyeliner in brown. This balances the boldness of the brows and keeps your overall look current.

Whether you prefer the natural, airy look of fluffy brows or the bold, defined appearance of sculpted brows, there’s a style to suit every preference and occasion. Fluffy brows are perfect for a fresh, everyday look, while sculpted brows can add drama and precision to your makeup routine. Embrace the brow style that makes you feel confident and beautiful, and don’t be afraid to experiment with new techniques and products. After all, the best brow trend is the one that makes you feel your best!
