If you haven't tried naked 'brows yet, I don't know what to tell you because everyone from Kim Kardashian to Kylie Jenner to Lizzo to Lady Gaga hopped on board with the trend late last year.
How did one go from bleaching heads to bleaching eyebrows? Frankly, we're not too sure. But did we make the best of it? Duh!?
Our Gen Z Queen, Noah Cyrus was among the A-Listers to disguise her arches but just short of a year later and she's taking her look to the next level. Enter: salt and pepper shakers.
Just to remind you all, here is what Noah looks like with her eyebrows in plain sight:
I think we can all agree that Noah is the proud parent of a truly fantastic pair of emotion expresses but, turns out, she also looks incredible without them.
Next up (and before we get to the singer's most recent extravaganza), let's reminisce on said nakedness. While on tour in Denver, Noah took the opportunity to engage in some Halloween shenanigans and posted a selfie of her bloody chin and neck backstage. Fake blood of course, not real.
Everyone's clicking on...
Now, while we were a little distracted by her crimson chin and also her iconic soft brown winged liner, we were mostly captivated by the disappearance of her brows.
There's no denying that they make for a particularly bold statement when her hair is jet-black. Fierce, IMO.
And finally, the evolution concludes with Noah's recent selfie shared on her Instagram Story. Her arches have reached their penultimate form before returning to their natural stake. Aka, she's in her regrowth stage.
Controversial op but has anyone ever made black and white eyebrows look so good? I think not. As someone who had zero interest in bleaching their brows previously, I'm now debating running to Boots to pick up some Jolen on my lunch break.
Seriously, that contrast between dark and light really is everything and more.
