Apparently bored with basic brows, makeup artists are taking them to a new level of extra. Unfamiliar with Instagram's latest brow craze? Here's a quick recap: Feather brows popped up first, swiftly followed by barbed wire brows.
The newest trend to join the bunch? Carved brows.
Created by Austin, Texas-based makeup artist Alexa Link, this edged-out look involves creating a sharp outline of your brows using eye shadow. Peep this precision!
Allure discovered the smoky look after Link's post recently went viral, garnering more than 11,000 likes and hundreds of comments. Since then, her brow art has inspired other makeup artists to create their own renditions — with sparkles, embellishments, and even a carved lip.
What's next? A new trend is popping up every day, and I can barely keep up. While I'll stay tuned for the next dreamed-up approach, for now, I'm sticking to my basic brows over here!
