Feather eyebrows are a trend now and it's tearing everyone apart

Fly free, beauty lovers, fly free.

Eyebrows have made a strong comeback recently and, don't get us wrong, we're here for it. But maybe, just maybe, there are some eyebrow trends that are better left untouched.

Cue feather eyebrows- the latest edition to a long list of ever-changing, divisive beauty crazes flapping its wings and taking flight.

Makeup artist Stella Sironen first ruffled some feathers by posting the look on Instagram. From there, #featherbrows was officially born.

For the look, the hairs of the eyebrow are split down the middle using a glue stick, resembling, well, the quill and barbs of a feather.

Since the post, the bold brow has been tearing beauty lovers apart and sorting them into two categories: Hell Yes and Hell No.

Sironen uploaded another pic, this time defending the trend as a joke, but still encouraging others to recreate the feathered feature.

And many people on the "Hell Yes" side did, using whatever they could get their hands on to start, literally, splitting hairs.

Some Twitter users were NOT about it:

Yay or nay for this new trend? If you're team "Yay," fly free and get to feathering.
