Name a feature of beauty that has been as hotly contested as eyebrows — and you'd have a hard time finding one. From slim arches to bold, natural brows, every decade has had its own idea of the ideal brow. In Columbus, Ohio brow trends are not merely a matter of fads, but an exploration of what best suits your individual beauty. A guide to how brow trends have changed, and how to get the most popular looks of today.
Over the Years: Our Favorite Brow Trends
1920s: Thin and Rounded
The flapper era welcomed arched brows, depopulated as if by desperation, that gave the face a dramatic, even maudlin cast. Women commonly removed their natural brows altogether and repainted them with fine pencil strokes for a highly stylized effect[1].
1950s: Arched and Glamorous
The golden age of Hollywood ushered in a new style — bold, arched brows. Stars like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn popularized full eyebrows with a high arch that suggested refinement[1][5].
The 1990S Pencil-Thin Brow Resurgence
The '90s brought extreme thinness, with brows so overplucked they lived on the verge of disappearance. Gwen Stefani and Drew Barrymore were the poster girls for this minimalism[5].
2010s: Bold and Natural
Bold, bushy brows made a triumphant return in the 2010s, thanks to influencers like Cara Delevingne. This trend embraced the natural face, with fuller shapes and little mention of overt over-plucking.
Today: Customized Brows
The trends in brows today are all about personalization. Soft and natural, or dramatic and bold — looks of today lean to all the finest of your features with the magic of professional sculpting, lamination and tint.
